Page 7 - Hatsan Blitz Reviews

WOW! Accurate, powerful, almost quiet. Awesome experience. Very nice rifle..Powerful in semi-auto. Devastating in full-auto. Coolest airgun in my collection. Indoor target range ... perfect. For backyard plinking? Overkill, but those cans don't stand a chance! Haven't had it on a range yet, but I expect a lot based on 10 meters indoors. I expect it to be excellent for field targets.

I might add a compensator, or thread the barrel for one. The trigger is pretty smooth and breaks clean, but it is very hard to pull this trigger by accident, and takes a lot of effort even without an accident. It would be nicer with an adjustable trigger, and one with quite a bit lighter.pull. Both of these things would be most useful for hunting in semi-auto mode or target shooting.

When you get your gun, read the entire manual, even the boring parts. Its easy to fool yourself into thinking the main seal is shot if you do not follow instructions. Exactly.

Rifle is very comfortable with the adjustable cheek rest and the weight with the lighter carbon fiber bottle is very good. The Blitz is much lighter than the Galation. Very good accuracy and I really love the cyclic rate. Feeds them almost through the same hole @ 30 yards. Relatively quiet for the power level and auto feature. The power adjust ability feature is also very nice.

Trigger shape and the pull weight. Include a fill port plug. The bottle mount rails protrude more than are necessary and are ungainly. Add a dampener to the muzzle piston spring. Very noisy but correctable.

I received mine on 6/8 and have been mostly pleased with it. Mine is in .22 but I have had some teething issues. After 4200 rounds the operating rod broke at the receiver actuating block.. Upon disassembly the center gear bushing was also extremely worn. Hatsan has yet to answer my e-mail submission for parts on 6/11. Since it broke clean at the block an easy out removed the broken piece and then I re threaded the rod which is 4mm x .7mm thread. The rod is now effectively 6.6mm shorter and I made my own center gear bushing on my lathe. It is running like a sewing machine with the power set @ 980 with a 14.3 Premier with a 3200 fill. I get 5 mags to a fill and accuracy (2 mags) at 60 yards is average about 1.5" on full auto. Semi will deliver 3/4 all day long. At 30 yards it maintains 1/2" with Premiers. Full auto reminds me of "shooting the star" out at the State Fair. Trigger is heavy but workable! Pellet of choice is Premiers for economy but it likes 16gr JSB for max accuracy @60 yar

.25 . . . . . .Comes with three magazines. . . .will take longer pellets, polymags etc. . . . .can mount a scope easy using high rings. . . . . . .accuracy full & semi auto. . . .not as loud as anticipated. . . . . .easy to mount bi-pod. . . . . . .large tank. . . . . .hard hitting for sure. . . . . .adjustable cheek piece. . . . .

For what it is nothing worth discussing. Possibly make it regulated.

Not recommended by Donny FL to add a suppressor. Made contact with them to inquire. This is not a toy. Treat accordingly. Try different pellets. Worth the purchase.

Take this to your local gun range and after everyone is making fun of you for bringing an air rifle, flip the switch to auto and watch them turn green with envy. I like the larger magazine of the .22 caliber. The .30 caliber should be larger. It is also quite powerful.

.22 only - The accuracy isn't as good as other air rifles. I can usually get a 1.5" grouping at 50 yards, but this one is closer to 4". I tried several different pellets and it didn't seem to make a difference in accuracy. The Diabolic jumbo heavy had the same grouping as the Crosman dome points. My .22 also needed to be modified in order to keep it from jamming up and damaging the magazine.

The .22 jams up more easily than the .30. My .30 never jammed and was very accurate. The .22 wasn't as accurate and jammed up every 3rd or 4th shot resulting in damaged magazines. I had to add gear oil to the bolt and grease to the inside of the barrel (where the mechanism is activated) in order to get it to cycle properly. I also had to tighten up the magazine springs. Now it fires just fine and hasn't jammed since. I think this is due to the smaller bore of the gun not having as much energy to cycle the bolt. Additionally, a hand pump will not work unless you are training for the Olympics. The huge air tank is great for many shots, but takes a long time to fill.

fun to shoot but hatsun has problems buy lots of lead and you will end up buying a compressor if you buy this gun

mine was also broken waiting for second gun broken safety box also looked like it was used in the samsonie commercial with gorilla stomping on it and also no manual I thought I was crazy till I read other reviews mine came with 3 magazine also some people at pyramid air will go beyond to helpn others wont try had them contact factory on unuseable safety sightson this gun SUCK also gun looked used in breech area worn brass residue what is up????No imprint in plastic like other hatsun models over broken safety.

I have never needed to write such a review hope other follow the truth cannot be denied in investing in a change the truth will come out!

At this point, nothing! The gun could not even be charged with air. And I am told I will not see another one until nearly June after waiting 4 months for this one.

If I were Hatsan, I would not ship any rifle or handgun without a proper manual. Further, I would make certain that the gun could be charged with air prior to it ever being shipped. This is my second defective Hatsan. They will not get a third chance from me.

At this point, I could not be more disappointed with Hatsan. I do not know who is ultimately responsible for the way this gun was shipped. That is to say I don't know if it was Hatsan or Pyramyd Air who is the responsible party but in my 50 years of purchasing air guns and firearms of all imaginable sorts, I have never seen any gun so poorly shipped. No manual. Virtually no instructions. Both boxes looked as though they had gone through an attack from a small black bear. I hesitate to blame this on the carrier because the air Venturi nomad compressor that I received in the same shipment was probably as perfectly packaged a shipment as I have ever seen.

Full auto is fun! I like the adjustable cheek pad. Can mount plent my of things off the 3 bottle rails.

Where the mag loads in is a little annoying, makes it harder to put a scope on it but not impossible and the iron sights work well. Would of been nice if the rails were on the carry handle instead of having to remove it to attach a scope.

It has a little more recoil then I was expecting. Not like its unmanageable but the high cyclic rate does give it some kick.

Full auto that never jams! I have shot ~500 rounds through my .30 caliber and it never jams. Accuracy is pretty good, too. Groupings are ~1-1.25" at 50 yards. It is very cool to take to your local gun range and after everyone makes fun of you for bringing and air gun, turn on automatic and ring the steel plates with a barrage of pellets.

The trigger pull is really stiff. After about 100 shots my finger starts to get sore. I wish it held more than 16 rounds. The magazine is empty in barely 1 second. I also wish it fired just a little bit slower. A tap of the trigger releases 4 rounds.

Overall this gun is excellent and definitely NOT a toy. The .30 caliber max range is about 75 yards and you can actually see the rounds hit your target with a good scope. At .30 caliber, the rounds fall excessively past the 75 yard mark due to lower velocity. I would highly encourage people to consider the .22 or .25 caliber as full auto eats ammo really fast and .30 ammo is expensive. Despite being an airgun, this thing CLIMBS in automatic mode. You won't be accurate past the second pellet but you can certainly hit a 24" square steel plate at 50 yards with all 16 pellets in automatic mode with some practice.

I have one in 30 caliber it is a phenomenal rifle I have a bullmaster in 25 caliber and this gun is far superior . Has a very light feel . The trigger pulled a little heavy though

If you can make an adjustable trigger it would be nice
