Hatsan FlashPup Synthetic Reviews

It has a great feel and shoulders well fro a bull pup

Nice for what it is

Rather quet with the QE system

Feels good in your hands. Very accurate and quick target alignment. Smoothly loads next round with side lever.

Larger capacity magazine. Would love to see in 30 or 35 caliber

A must have for small to medium game hunting.

This is a beast in 22 cal. Love the recoil, but still quite. So far the accuracy with slugs and pellets are spot on and the fit and finish is buttery smooth but the cocking lever seems to me to be too far back I am big guy and I have to come off my shoulder to cockpit it. It is a hard hitting beast. Bought it to hunt with.

I wanted it in 177 cal but Hatsan nor Pyramidair carries it in the U.S market. But they sell the wood stock in 177. How ridiculous is that!

Why does Pyramidair knowingly ship defective products and pay for return shipping, but I can pay 10 dollars for them to not ship me a defective product. Defective meaning leaking . Return shipping is expensive for them and a pain in the A$$ for the customer. What's up with that?

Although I haven't yet shot more than one brand / type of pellet, my new hatsan flashpup .22 is very good for my pest control duty. The QE moderator makes this a neighborhood / farm friendly rifle, and the short length and light weight helps to make a steady shooting platform for me. I normally use a low woven nylon seat with aluminum tube frame to shoot from, and with my back against a tree or building, and my knees up in front of me, I can easily hold a rock steady three point supported scope view. The trigger on this rifle is very nice, predictable, and crisp in my opinion, and will serve me well in the upcoming winter season for sniping invasive pest birds, as well as if I want to take a few bushytails for dinner. For the price, I feel it is a very good rifle for anyone who wants a compact accurate and quiet pcp to use for hunting and pest control.

Adding more air capacity (volume) to the cylinder to enable at least say 50 shots per fill would give the oportunity to use this bullpup for field target competition.

I am happy so far with simply shooting common crosman premier ultra magnum .22 caliber domed pellets for pest control. They seem accurate enough so far, but I intend to experiment with several types and brands to find the most accurate pellets for this barrel. I recommend doing this with which ever rifle you choose.

great value for the money. sturdy as ____. light without a scope. very quiet shooting. big tank will let you run 40-50 pellets easily before running down. my gun needed a little work by a gunsmith to get the seal and fit within spec, but now it is more powerful than spec and the tank lasts longer - as good as you can get without spending $$ on a regulator-level rifle. I've had the rifle 2 years and very happy. with my good quality Chinese scope and some dialing in this rifle is super accurate from 15 yds to 75 yds. excellent barrel.

Wish the factory QC was better, but I am very satisfied for the price. even with the gunsmith cost I have much better quality, power, and accuracy than rifle at double the $$.

spend some time testing the rifle - or pay Pyramid extra to do so before shipping. you'll still be getting a great value air rifle

This gun is extremely accurate. At 25 yards groups of 5 can be covered with a dime. 25 gr JSB Monsters stack on top of each other. In addition to accuracy, this gun is extremely powerful for an air rifle. At 15 yard it shot through a 1 inch pine board. The trigger is great and so is the side lever.

I would like to see a better shroud with baffles. The gun is a little loud.

Nothing.

The gun is light and handy

This is it for the price you want more you pay more .

I had a leaker on hand (not the first time with Hatsan) PA accepted the return no issues.

Cheap PCP, good for plinking, ok for pest control.

Rifle needed to be worked on right out of the box, had several o-rings which needed to be reseated. Seems to shoot a bit low on average. Multirail seems like a good idea at first but stinks in practice. Surprisingly Heavy for a composite could do with less material to lighten it up. Hammer is very heavy and extremely loud when compared to an FX.

Requires and adaptor from DonnyFL.

I love the slide lever, was a little nervous after reading some reviews. But surprisingly smooth with no issues!

Nothing...

Shoots nice tight groups!

Very accurate and easy to get on zero.

Length adjustment to the stock.

I like the gun, it performs really well and hits accurately.

The stock does feel a bit cheap, if you want more quality, get the woodstock. Otherwise the base gun is a decent shooter and has yet to jam or disappoint

The packaging looked pretty rough and my single shot tray was missing. I contacted pyramid air and they couldnt get me another one but they did send a new magazine which Is super nice of them, good customer service!

Overall i liked the gun...the cocking lever is very stiff and gritty...hope this issue works it self out.

nothing

no

First off; doing business with Pyramyd Air is a delightful experience. They are a first rate organization!

I sent the gun back for a refund. I never shot it or put air into it. When I opened the box and saw and handled the gun I was surprised and disappointed to find a hollow molded piece of flawed plastic. Everything on the gun wreaked of cheap. Trigger and mechanisms are plastic. It honestly felt like a toy.

Everything.

Nothing it won't hold air after the first 30 shots.

Fix the apparently pervasive issue with leaks that Hatsan's own service department cannot even resolve.

I caution you not to put any trust in the reviews you see online about this model. I ignored a few reviews regarding air leaks, Hatsan customer service, and the same issue persisting even after Hatsan warranty repair. Well the same thing is happening to me. The gun started leaking on the second fill using Hatsan very own hand pump. Was able to RMA it relatively easily even though Hatasan will not speak to you via telephone. No communication during the RMA process until I received the shipping notification from the carrier. Upon inspection the rifle was reassembled differently from the original condition. The fill port is now on the opposite side of the rifle. They did not return the fill port cap. More wasted time and you have to fill out their online form again. Date of purchase anyone? The worst part is that it is still leaking. Not in a couple of minutes like last time but down below 100 bar in less then 24 hours. Filled out their online form again requesting a replacement. Lets see

First Hatsan, first bullpup. Ordered this to do pest control at less than 20yds. Set it up with a cheap red dot. Used crosman premier 14.3 .22. At 20yds it was shooting really good groups straight out of the box. Ran just 60 pellets to get it sighted in, can't wait to use with better pellets. Power? Yep its got it! Shot through 3/4 plywood and some passed through a second piece that was about 4" behind it. The pellets that didn't go through stopped close to going through. Shot count is right where they claim. So its exactly what I needed, light weight, short, powerful and accurate. Plus the trigger is really nice too! Great little rifle for sub $400.

Nothing at the moment.

It is exactly what they claim it to be.

I was pleasantly surprised to receive the new Side Lever model even when the photo on Pyramyd Air website showed the older Bolt Action variant when I placed my purchase. The overall feel, size and weight of the HATSAN FlashPup .22 is great! Accuracy on 10 yds and 25 yds is outstanding. I zeroed the FlashPup with a Vector Optics Veyron 3-12x44mm at 10 yds and the attached photo presents the 35-shot string using JSB Hades 15.89gr pellets. The chart shows the FPS, FPE, and the starting and ending pressure readings after each 5-shot group. I also made the same shot string with the GAMO Urban .22 to compare the performance oo the two PCP's.

There are some rough machining works especially in the breech area. The finish on the side lever could be improved. The magazine could be designed much better --- I prefer the BSA/GAMO Urban 10-shot magazine.

I used the AIr Venturi G9 pump and I would say that the HATAN FlashPup is hand pump friendly. It was not exhausting to get to the 200 bar maximum fill.

This is an awesome little bullpup. I bought mine in .25 caliber and I love it. It has plenty of power and accuracy with Air Arms 25.4 gr pellets is fantastic.

Nothing I can think of. Maybe add a regulator.

Get it. You won't be disappointed.

This is my third Hatsan pcp air rifle. Like the others very accurate, 40 yards 10 shot group you can hide with a quarter. Diavolo Field 25.4 grain work very well.

A better magazine make the bolt a little smoother

If you're looking for an inexpensive air rifle this is the one

Honestly there isn't much I liked. The shape and size was comfortable. When it worked it APPEARED to have some power to it. But after a little more than a year the bolt seized and would t budge to cock/de-cock. After putting my FX chrono on it I was sad to find it was barely pushing 23fpe. 21g averaged 704. 15.89 hades was just breaking 800fps and 22fpe. All around let down especially since everyone raves about how hatsan under rates the energy.

Magazines constantly fell out when cocking anywhere besides an bench. Trigger was spongy when it first arrived, every 4 shots it would not release the seer or it got hung up resulting n a 5 second delay in the shot. Even after fixing that problem it was never a tack driver for me. 2 inch groups at 25yrds, 4-5 inch at 40. I know a lot of people love this gun, I'm just not one of them

I dont blame pyramid air for any of my misfortunes, their customer service has always been top notch. maybe I just got a dud. This kinda jaded me towards hatsan, so I decided to get an Akela, I love my marauder pistol and the Akela functions just as smooth (and hits 34fpe with a 21g slug).

Very nice feel with plenty of power.

Cocking fir a follow up shot is awkward but if you make the 1st one count, a follow up is not needed

Buy one, you won't be disapointed
