a great air rifle should more full auto

love it when it was working especially the "fun" switch

quality of the gun is not great. Been serviced 2 x and now a new problem within 3 days after "repaired by hatsan" 1st it wouldn't fire when I got it back it wouldn't hold air. Sent back to be repaired again, when returned, now the bolt sticks. Will not purchase another

Buyer BEWARE!

value, precision, and the smile from that full auto !

better specs on the magazines.

Overall nice gun built well the front of the gun feels tearable in ur hand shoots nice

The stock sucks and accuracy sucks very bad for the price I tryed many different ammo the group's where unacceptable in my opinion

Don't buy this gun I got it for the semi auto but the accuracy is tearable everyone I've seen so far isn't any different unless u just like to spray ammo all day. For the price there r better options out there

Light, magazine is easy to fill.

When I received this gun, it had 0 pressure in the tank (which, other brands at least fill to yellow on the gauge for healthy seals). At this moment, this gun is a $1000 paperweight, you CAN NOT fill this gun with a hand pump. Or at least I can't. I spent about 2 hours pumping and only got the gauge in the middle of the 0 marker (while some air was leaking through the barrel, even when I locked the bolt back as it's recommended). I'd be less upset if there was a mention of this anywhere on the listings. And I want to point out that no official reviewer ever has made comments about this hidden *feature.* I guess I'll need to spend even more money, either to send this gun back or to buy a compressor.

Okay, so I am beginning to see a trend with Airguns by my own personal experience. There's a ton of hype for big bore calibers (basically anything at or above 25 caliber), but when you actually go out to buy these guns, you mainly get disappointment. The Hatsan Blitz's disappointment? The fact you need a compressor to actually fill the gun. You want my opinion? Stick with buying 177, 20 and 22 calibers, for whatever reason, I have never had a lemon with these calibers. If any brand sees this comment, you are more than welcome to prove me wrong, but I'm just going off of personal experience.

Enjoy the rifle haven't had any problems with it functions as supposed to had to buy air compressor to fill it hand pump was a no go takes forever

Buy a scope the open sites are not

If you are getting into airguns be smart spend the money on a compressor especially for pcp you won't regret it

I like the PSI, larger tank, and large top rail, what I am having issues with is when I so a 3-5 round burst in full auto the bolt sticks and hangs open. I am trying to lubricate the issue out. We'll see this weekend.

Better quality control testing on the gun's before they are sent out. If someone had tested this rifle they would have known the sticking bolt issue.

Once you've got it tuned and bugs worked out it, the .30 caliber is a good rifle.

30 cal and full auto !!!!!!!!!

Bigger magazine!!! I have the 30 cal

get a electric pump!! I stopped smoking 6 years ago and I thought I was going to die trying pump this thing up!!! make sure you have plenty of backing ware you are shooting this thing will easily go through a 2x4!!!

The magazine works well the gun shoots good hell it's a lot better product than I thought it would have been

Short barrel and pistol grip kit

Guns was well packed and arrive fairly quick. Gun looks awesome excited to go shoot it.

Are sure there is a complete filled probe in box. You would have figured the price you paid for this gun you should have had a complete fill probe in box.

Make sure you get a female foster fitting to go on the end of your fill probe. It does not come with one. You are not going to be able to shoot unless you have one. Have not shot the gun do to the fact of fill probe. Not going to rate accuracy.

Very accurate and fun to shoot

A little bit heavy

It will eat up your pellet supply

The rifle worked fine

The magazines that came with the rifle did not work, the spare that I ordered did work.

pyramid air has yet to answer my customer complaint e mails and calls, I have been calling once a day and sending one email a day about my problem..

It is very light, very accurate even with open sight, it has very good FPE, and most of all the full auto mode.

The piccatiny rail for the optical.

It is not so straight forward the filling of the tank with the nommad II air compressor; the problem been the adaptor to connect to the Blitz probe or nozzle. It took me some time to figure it out. A washer was needed and also the position of the probe in the blitz because the input has a certain orientation that somehow should match the output from the nozzle.

Semi and auto function is similar to blowback actiin airsoft guns.

Price is a rip off for all the mechanics and the chip aluminum material to all of the components of the gun.

Be ware of the action as it would not cycle for properly, the semi and auto function would sometime not work, and you can only shot it when you cock the gun, giving you a single action gun.

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,
