I love the red and blue army men at the beginning, just a badass intro. I'm glad you were able to pick up that .30 brother you are going to love it. Great video as always, Keep it up.

The bane of this excellent weapon, cocking it so you can insert a mag. The solution, I made what I'm calling a "bolt strap." A fancy name for a repurposed nylon dog collar. I slipped the collar through a 4" piece of PVC tubing. This functions as the handle. (You can just used the collar by itself. I happened to have the PVC piece handy.) Procedure: Put the AEA with the barrel downward so that the airgun was resting against a sofa pillow. I slipped the opposite end of the collar over the AEA bolt. Keeping inward pressure so the collar doesn't slide off the bolt, I EASILY cocked the bolt AND effortlessly held it open while I loaded the mag. P.S. I suggest the dog collar because it is the perfect size for this function. Bonus Tip: If you just use the collar by itself, you can grip it by the clasp, attachments, and buckle. That's the stiffer reinforced part of the collar and functions fine as a handle/grip. Or you can simply build up tape to where it forms a handle.

I use JSB Hades 22 cal and they are a thing of beauty. They do it right.

Those JSB pellets are AEA-approved for this airgun. In fact, AEA sells these on its website, in the "Ammo" section. Warning: Regarding shooting those cool Predator Polymag Pellets, those CANNOT be used in any AEA magazine. AEA sells those, but only for its single-shot bolt action breech loaders. Here's what AEA says on its website: "IMPORTANT: Polymag pellets in .30 caliber do not fit inside a magazine. They are meant to be loaded directly into the chamber. Airguns that fire directly from the magazine cannot use these pellets." P.S. The issue is the Polymag's pointed polymer tip. It juts out of the AEA magazine chambers. I have seen guys that want to use those rounds file down the tip until it fits. That would seem to significantly compromise the round's design and function, but to each their own.

I wish the polymags fit in aea magazines. you'd have to use an hp ss 25 or 22 in order to use those or h&n hornets

Great video, you'll enjoy your pistol!!!!!! Definitely good for home defense!!!!!!!

Mine is for home defense so I mounted a combo flashlight/defensive strobe/laser sight on that dovetail. The one I recommend is on AMZN; search "Firefly V5 Gun Light Laser Flashlight Pistol Combo | Combat Veteran Owned Company . . ." On this sight he has a 342, five stars rating, which is rarely achieved on AMZN.

Awesome video bro. Ima send you another mag 👍

Thanks. I shot you an email about the one that came with.

Got to thank you for providing a link to were you purchased your AEA HP SS 30 Cal as soon as I can handle it, I'm getting one only in 25 cal a little more punch from what I've heard defiantly good for HD you could put a serious hurting on an intruder not getting up kind of hurt especially if you use something like H&N Hornets

The 30 has more punch. The 25 is good IF you want better penetration. 25 would be sweet with h&n hornets

When I get mine I’m gonna put a 5x prism scope from monstrum

Regarding the one mag, I got two and AEA's website says: Inside the box: x1 Airgun x1 Fill probe x2 Magazines User manual So I think you got shorted! Probably fell out of the box when Fox was testing it to make sure everything was in order. (Did you check under the foam? Easy for those little mags to slide under.) Bonus Tip: AEA says: "Note: Magazines have a limited life based on their use, and for that reason, they are not covered under warranty. It's good to know that magazines are relatively inexpensive." Worried about some day mags become hard to come by, I bought 8 of em from The Pellet Shop, at $19 each. AEA wants a whopping €37 for them. Note: AEA also sells a metal mag. Perhaps a metal mag lasts a lot longer. But those are €47 each. No thank you.

I would use a hades in that bad boy, or a hallow point slug.

Hey man, where you been?

Maybe you got only one because there is a shortage. Shooda got 2

I put a sig red dot on mine.

I'm not sure if I'd have 100% confidence in AEA guns for home defense. The valve pins are a major weak spot in design. Unless you've got a friendly intruder, that'll give you 5 minutes to replace it. 😆 That being said, AEA is an excellent option for a budget friendly backyard plinker or small game hunting.

So it is a good gun when it works! Do not leave cocked, it will ruin hammer spring. My has developed leaks. If your going to have this for self defense you better have 2 because one will fail! Buy a Bull dog if you want reliability, because these chinese guns are pieces of shit! Im speaking from personal experience, and im not the only dissatisfied AEA OWNER! From Chicago always telling the truth! P.S. ive also tried the vortex strike and they jam in those mags! Your right about ammo! JSB exact .44 grn, or JSB Hades work very well too, as do fx hybrids. 30 cal 44 grn. Its all about weight with those mags! Ive gotton 49 ftlbs out of a .59 grn slug, They slowed down a lot but they hit very hard!

Have had mine for roughly 2yrs. I've taken coyotes, deer and countless rabbits. Have had it out in the rain, etc and has never failed. Only use .44 grain JSBs and shoot this thing literally about 3/4 times a week every week since I purchased it. Is the perfect backpack tool, and as a matter fact when hunting, I carry a 90cu inch buddy bottle along with this gun and the load isn't bad at all. Flashlight/ laser combo, blackarts ring, S2Delta sling, bottle clamp w UTG bi-pod and a 2.5- 10x40 IR scope and a Donny Tanto is my setup and it works flawlessly. Granted it's a definitely a pistol with its 10in barrel but I keep it on full power and have taken game at 60yds with this beast. Retired combat here so I would always go to my Glock 17 or 1911 for defense but if this is all you have or can get to at the moment it will definitely do the job with proper shot placement. Best wishes. ✌🏾
