Page 6 - Hatsan Blitz Reviews

Great build quality, accurate, smooth operation semi or full.

None

Bought the .22 and loved this air rifle. Just received it a few days ago and am very impressed. Do not do as I did and take it on a boat! Rough water and slipping on the deck, I dropped it overboard!!!! It is now somewhere at the bottom of Puget Sound...

Excellent service and fast shipping

Good accuracy with a scope

It has never worked out of the box. Semi and Auto are inconsistent at best. I typically have to recock after every shot. Sometimes it suprised me and shoots 5-6 rounds full auto. PA and Hatsan customer service were non-existent.

I would look elsewhere.

Auto fire is fun

I have the 22cal. and the action is not smooth. it feels like grinding metal but it works. I put a dab of gear oil and it smoothed out a little but better.

I bought the 22cal. and the first thing I noticed was that it was chewing up the pellet mag. so I added more spring tension and it made it better. I also put some grease in the barrel to smooth out the action its still ruff. also the shipping from pyramydAir was bad at best. the outer box it came in did not have enough packing so the inner box was not stable. the inner box was beat up and when the rifle came out it was dirty and looked ruff.

I got the Blitz in .30. It is powerful! Shreds 3/4" plywood @ 30-yds. Is pretty accurate; even on full auto, tight enough group to blow out probably a 2" circle. It would be tighter if trigger was lighter. No issues with jamming in semi-auto mode so far, but full auto has been finicky for me (see below).

The trigger is VERY Heavy. Makes it very difficult to avoid pulling shots. I have not yet figured out the mechanism. After short bursts in full auto mode, bolt stays open some times. It seems like it might be when pressure falls below a certain point, but so far too inconsistent to know for sure. You have to switch to semi-auto, and "re-cock" to take next shot. I have not been able to establish the cause-effect for this. The gun is heavy (I have scope and light on mine). If you were thinking of humping it out in the field, a sling would be a must, and of course at least a mini tank.

It is not as loud as I feared. In full-auto mode it sounds like someone lighting a string of firecrackers; not like a real gun. Like other reviewers have written, you will want to have a good supply of pellets on hand; it is fun, and you will burn through them. If you are planning on using for pest control, I would say that none of your typical rodent pests would have a prayer; you can put several shots in a lethal area in a second or less. Considering that you can get this rifle with scope and the xtra mags that come with it for around $1k, as long as it is working for you, it is a great buy.

It is both accurate and precise... when it is working. It's mad fun slicing cans and fenders in half... when it's working.

Make it reliable. Mine has now failed twice.

When I first received this rifle, I was wowed. I bought a Chrony and found it was throwing 14.3 pellets at 1125fps... it gradually leveled out at between 1070 and 1115fps depending on cylinder pressure so I think it was dieseling initially. Anyway, I found this rifle to be precise whether I put alloy pellets, midweight 14-15 grain pellets, or even slugs - it grouped them tightly at 100yd, and once I zeroed in the rifle at 200yd I managed a bullseye, and alloy pellets? They gave a nice satisfying "CRACK!" I was very impressed. It was an absolute delight to shoot. I finally played with full auto mode after I had it for about a month and a half, and it was mad fun slicing cans and even a fender in half. It was giggle-inducing fun. Then... the rifle jammed. It simply stopped indexing the next pellet. In fact the bolt (er, charge handle) jammed. I very gently tugged and pushed at it until it released. I checked the barrel, kept the mag out, and fired off the round that was in the barrel,

It is a comfortable rifle, easy to handle, with a good magazine capacity, well balanced for its weight, the capacity of the tank gives many shots and, most importantly, it is very accurate in both semi-automatic and automatic.

At the moment I would not change anything

Just enjoy it, it's very entertaining

Solid, good balance, right size, good precision, good number of shots. It is very entertaining to shoot

for now I would not change anything

just enjoy it and make good shots

Accuracy: 2 inch ctc offhand for a new shooter at 35 yards. Also hit a 5 inch target at 15 yards very first two shots Dependability: no jams or malfunctions so far after 400 pellets or so Shot count: well over 100 shots and you're still over 100 bar/ safe operating level Loudness: for a .30 it's quiet. Backyard friendly afaic. I have a broken eardrum, firing side ear, and I still don't need ear protection. Full auto: very fun and can also be used for quick bursts of 2-4 pellets. I never do full mag dumps. Something tells me that is pushing this thing to her limits and it's just not worth the risk

The air tank doesn't need to be this big. Who needs over 100 shots per fill? Full mag-dumps are pretty wasteful. Maybe the 580cc tank should be an option. If she could be a little lighter and could put out more power that would be nice. I would add a more tactical stock if it could be achieved without adding weight. Also a multi-year warranty would be nice considering the price tag. But the Blitz performs exactly as advertised

In order to get the magazines to slide freely into the gun you might need to tighten the magazine lid screw. 30 caliber will allow you to go through 7 magazines per fill.

Bad ass .22 cal gun! Nothing like full auto for never missing an important Rodent kill. I loved the blitz,,,, while it worked.

Make it it lighter by 2 pounds and lighten the 7 pound trigger pull. Makes it hard to get a 300 yard shoot when your finger is shaking from the hard trigger pull.

This gun came with a non working safety switch and broken in 14 days. I called HATSAN USA and their not talking live. Filled out their ON line form 3 times. No Response. I feel "HAD" I also have a .25 Blitz with 2000 rounds through it and it works great. I have heard that the build quality is better on the .25 and .30 cal BLITZ's for same reason... Seen lots of YT videos of people sending back their .22 cal Blitz's for repair.

Bought as a gift for my husband who just loves it the rapid fire is outstanding he is not happy with the scope he has on it so he is upgrading it but it seems pretty accurate. he can not wait to get the 30 cal. as he has become a collector of sorts now owning a total of 12 which may not be a lot for some but the fact that most came from pyramidair he refuses to shop anywhere else.

more scope friendly(had to remove the top rail) think maybe offered as a package deal with scope and tripod included. other than that nothing!

only that they will love this gun!

Nothing yet, it leaks so I didn't even try it out.

It leaks slowly.

like the open sights . gun is comfortable . fun to shoot .

magazines are a little bit difficult to insert . bolt action isnt real smooth .

not the highest quality air gun , but it is alot of fun . this is actually my favorite gun . i have bulldogs , and and evanix tactical sniper 50 . the hatsan 30 is the most fun . i just ordered a second one .

It arrived on time as promised (8/25/20), from M....y USA. It was packaged, as it should be, without damage and included the instruction booklet. I'll update further when my ammo arrives from Pyramid (which I ordered on the same day but the gun arrived first from Waymid, actually two days earlier)

Better response by Pyramid Air. I've been waiting on this item to be available and had to go to your competition because they have it in stock at the exact same price. My guess is that you sold out your inventory way sooner than others but some transparency would be nice. I love Pyramid Air but you guys have to tighten up!

When you go to first charge it (fill up the tank) make sure you read the directions first!!! If you dont have any, put gun on safe, then cock bolt back and lock into place, then proceed to fill slowly following your gauge on your tank , pump, or compressor. (Fill pressure is 250 bar) Reservoir pressure on gun won't be accurate until air temp in CF tank cools to ambient temperature.

I don't know. The rifle came to me flawed from the gate. It leaked the first time I attempted to fill it.

Quality control. No reason this should ever happen!

Sad to report that my .22 Blitz came in last week and I had to send it back right out the gate. Upon filling it for the first time I heard a distinct hiss coming out from the internals. My worst fears were realized as I had to come to terms with the fact that I received a leaking rifle. So bummed, I wanted this to work out soooo bad! Sent it back to Pyramid Air and was notified that it would not be replaced until November (this took place in late July) I've been a loyal customer of theirs for many years, I'm going to have to reevaluate that relationship. So bummed out.

Very accurate fun gun. Automatic is unbelievable. Buy a BUNCH of ammo you will need it. The gun has never jammed once.

Nothing

I repeat buy a lot of ammo. Pyramydair seems to have trouble filling orders right now. I am not sure what management is doing. It seems that there is a lack of effort to adjust schedules to get the orders out. Expect to wait at least 10 days for your order to ship and then 3 to 4 days to get your order. Not sure why this is. Tried to contact them on weekends and could not. Normally would ship in 2 to 3 days. Not now...

The gun is awesome loving it alot....need one more of the blits when available

Every thing good to me, maybe a free scope

No...all good

Was one of first people to get a .30 cal blitz in, it didn't have manual came with 2 magazines and wasn't charged so had to charge it playing a couple tricks to get the Pressure valve inside to finally close So it would fill, all that being said I love this gun it fires like a hammer down range and takes. Less than 3 seconds to empty a 16 round clip into its target it hadn't jammed and it looks and feels like a mg and thats why I bought it..!!! So its not a sniper rifle its a Machine gun and looks sexy and feels sexy and its all spray n play ;) A+++

Bigger mag

Buy slot of rounds ur gonna need em

The looks , carbon fiber tank, fully auto, open sights

Well trigger pull is horrible... and magazine should have some type of lock ..

I had to return mine it had problems.. magazine would not come out..jamming issues... fill adapter would get stuck... I sent mine back weeks ago waiting on refund.. I got a new one threw midway USA and it works great ...

Not sure yet. Cant get air to go inside.

Just recieved. Cant get air to go inside. Maybe alittle but I can hear it leaking out. WTF???
