Hey....finally got my new airgun !
Ordered last December a Career Fire 201-S.......finally got my gun....a Fire 202-S !
I can't see any difference from the older model 201-S, so any changes that Shin Sung made must be internal. I did notice that shops are advertising this new gun as; LOW=826 fps HIGH=829 fps using EunJin 77.1 gr 9mm ammo. I think there is a difference between the LOW and HIGH power setting and I don't think its just 3 feet-per-sec. I can't see them re-doing this model of rifle and then still having 2 power levels with just 3 fps difference.....I think this must be a print error.....like maybe HIGH power should read as 929 fps instead of 829 fps ??
I had ordered a chrono...but UPS goofed, could not deliver the parcel up here in Canada (dumb driver), finally sent it back to the US shipper who will now send it out via the Good-Old-POST OFFICE DELIVERY ! Up here in Canada, we think the UPS truck is aptly colored...if you get my drift. At any rate I will be very curious to see for myself what the chrono has to say.....
Otherwise, I LIKE this gun....fits me perfectly at 220 lbs and 5'-10", and I hit everything I've aimed at so far....which is saying a lot with my 60 years of age shaking....I used the hand pump to pressurize - 20 pumps with 5 minute wait periods between, took me about 1 hour-20 min to get it up to about 2800 PSI....thought it best not to try for 3000 PSI right off first time. I had NO PROBLEM pumping this beast up....read a magazine in between pumping sessions....only time it became harder to do was 2500 PSI and higher, but with the proper technique - WAIT at top and bottom of stroke for a 1-2-3 count and using my body not my hands...it was EASY !! Which surprised me....all the info I've read led me to believe that using the pump is heart-attack stress-related activity....NOT SO ! Or is it just because I'm in shape from shoveling my 300 foot driveway in winter up here in the snowy north ??? At any rate I found it EASY to do...just time consuming. The only problem I did have was an air leak right to start with....had to wrap the threads with extra thread tape and really "muscle tighten" the career adapter probe at the end of the hose. A few choice words and a threat to tighten it until it broke....stopped the air leak.
At the moment, I'm trying to figure a way to make some RUBBER BULLETS for this rifle.....got this deer problem...can't hurt the beasties, so I was a thinking of a rubber bullet made out of silicone rubber, maybe 3/8 inch O.D.....light enough to not dent their misserable hides, yet enough to sting like Hxxx ! Yeah....WAR has been declared ! FREE my TULIPS....NOT DEER FOOD !! HEY !....I gotta have some fun !

Perhaps you could use a tube of RTV silicone sealer and a 000 buckshot mold. If I were you, I'd look into getting a Foster male QD fitting from LeRoy Roduner at BGMF airguns to replace the fill probe. I did that for my Sam Yang 909 which is very similar to your 202, and am glad I did. http://www.bgmfairguns.com/otherproducts.html.
