A few questions: Is this multi pump action or single pump? Can it take down small game? If you could be specific, how loud would you say it is?

It is a multi-pump, I usually pump 5-10 time depending on what I am shooting and how far, The more pumps, or at least I believe, the more power and range. I kill all sorts of birds (pigeons, doves) and have killed a few small game (rabbits, squirrels). It has the killing power but the shot has to be a head shot or vitals. It is not great for accuracy, but within 25 feet its pretty good. The sound is not very loud, but does have a report, maybe like a loud slap?? Hope this helps. And I only use pellets, so not sure what bb's do.

It's multi-pump up to 10 times. I can kill the ground squirrels that burrow around my house with it using hollow-point pellets, my best shot being from about 30 ft, though some accuracy can be lost at that distance as well. If I were to buy one again, I would consider spending a little more for a single pump with more power.

You just pump it a few times and then shoot 1 bb. Maximum of 10 pumps. I've shot squirrels on 10 pumps and they don't even make a sound. It's just powerful enough to give them a little sting. Ive never shot any game but I imagine it would probly hurt them but not kill them.

It's loud. It is the only crossbow I have ever owned so I don't have anything to compare it to. I have always heard that it is the way it is with crossbows.

Good morning. No it is a single pump gun. (I wish they made the single shot pistol the same). It is very accurate and easy to use.

The pump is not very loud for a pump that size, ours is on our boat dock and we do not find it annoying.

Hi Knothead. I would estimate it to be about 1/2 as loud as a .22 LR. It's about the same volume as an air nailer used in construction. I've found that many times, the "thwak" of the pellet hitting the target (a piece of plywood or a tree) is louder than the actual report. Like many air guns, the Venom will get quieter as it's broken in, so if it's too loud for you at first, keep shooting and it should quiet down pretty well. Hope this helps!

It is not very loud as is. But to silence it the barrel would have to be threaded for a standard silencer. I only use it indoors, the pellet hitting the target is loader than the gun.

It is single pump. It is a break barrel. Uses a spring to pressurize the air.

Yes No Problem.. I used a 3/8 air gun and it doesn't faze it. Also it doesn't run all the time. I can blow myself off with the air hose with out it coming on and whe it does, It's run time is short. I'm used to 60-120 gallons.. This thing really surprises me..

I just got 205 fps. with a 10.5 grain pellet and 2 pumps. It will not shoot a pellet out of the barrel with 1 pump. 2 pumps is .98 fpe.

It is a single shot. It's a break barrel and very powerful. I have two I love em so much

It's pretty good - I cannot say specifically what it is - sorry. However, it can keep a four court bank of tennis courts pumping with sound so my guess is less than 500

Yes, it's fairly noisy for hunting unless you find a way to silence it . But it's great for target practice where noise isn't a factor .

It's a break barrel, when you break the barrel open to loaded it, it pressurize the chamber at the same time, This gun will outperform any multi pump, with the right pellet you can shoot through steal, and this thing is quite you can shoot it in your backyard without any concerns, I highly recommend this gun to friends

I believe the manual says a maximum of 10 pumps. That's what I've been doing and it has plenty of power. My kids pump it 5 or 6 times for target shooting. Also good.

Yes it is loud, breaks the sound barrier every shot. I use/bought the gun for Ground Squirrel control on a horse property. First shot and the Squirrels know what is up and hit their holes. I may try to silence it if possible, but the power and accuracy is great. I recommend the gun, built in Spain, not China and it shows.

I saw a review on it, and they registered it at 86 decibels. I've just finished sighting mine in and to my ear it sounds not too abnormally loud. It sounds a little louder than it was on the video review. Remember that the sound will dissipate over distance, so that what sounds loud to the shooter's ear will definitely drop in decibels (quiet down) at about 50' away from the shooter.

It a single shot " break barrel" action type. No other effort needed by way of pumping.
