    Things I liked:

    Accuracy like I was not expecting considering the price tag. It holds its own with some of the best of them, not just saying that it's accurate for a $300 rifle, holding it to the same standards as all others. I have toe .25 cal version, impressed with exactly what 40 fpe is. Had a break barrel getting close to 25 and was expecting something similar, but it's quite a power jump. Ease of use is the main draw. Just a fun quiet, easy to use gun.

    Things I would have changed:

    Add iron sights, or a little rail along the barrel to easily attach one. Also, just a personal thing, I wish it had a more traditional stock, or even a wooden one (the new wooden stock flash looks great) but who cares. Little look things likt that, might have used a chrome finish on the trigger, or bolt. etc. just aesthetic things. Possibly would have worked to had a magazine like the Hatsan Hercules that sits into the body of the gun better than this somewhat cumbersome one.

    What others should know:

    Shoots the H&N grizzly .25s well. Those had underperformed for me in .357 evanix (possibly because of the weight) , but the flash makes short work of the 31gr pellet. A friend in an airgun group shoots the piledrivers out of his .22 and really likes them too. This is also one of the only guns I use pointed pellets out of like the spitzkugel, on metal and reactive targets for fun. Best groupings with the JSB exact king .25s (no surprise) not as good but fairly well with predator polymags which would make that my choice for hunting, and also loves the baracuda match, pellets by H&N (does well with most H&N pellets)

    Things I liked:

    Lite weight easy to handle. Three quarter inch 10 shot groups at 50 yards. Have three other much more expensive airguns that will just be gathering dust.

    Things I would have changed:

    A better way for a bottom sling mount. Otherwise nothing and thanks once again for your great service.

    What others should know:

    Just get one and start enjoying our wonderful sport.

    Things I liked:

    Amazing accuracy. I tuned my .25 down to shoot 760fps. Need only to fill to 180 bar, shoot 25 good consisstant shots down to 150bar, gun is pretty quiet. I got my 1900.00 dollar Edgun and the flash the same day, but I enjoy shooting the flash more, Its light weight and @ 30 yrds. It can give you one hole groups. If you only have a hand pump this is the gun you want, small cylinder easily filled. Im going to get a .177 and .22 to go with my .25. Even tuned down, Im thumping tree rats@ 40 yrd easily

    Things I would have changed:

    Better single loader

    What others should know:

    Both of mine leaked when they dropped to 100bar. Sent the first one back for an exchange, second one did the same, but since I refill @ 150 I kept it because I tuned the trigger and hammer to shoot as good ad any high dollar pcp.

    Things I liked:

    It's a powerhouse. Goes through 2 sheets of plywood at 50 yards. JSB seems to be the pellet of choice so far with the 25 grain getting quarter size groupings at 50 yards. 33 grain still packs a punch at 100 yards.....my first pcp and I hope to own many more Hatsan pcp rifles.

    Things I would have changed:

    It needs a adjustable stock......I wish I had gotten the Flashpup and hope they offer a conversion stock in the future.

    What others should know:

    You can tune this bad boy to get a string of 10 shots at around 900fps with 25grain JSBs.........

    Things I liked:

    Suprizingly accurate, light weight and plenty of power for small game. What I like is how fast Pyramid replaced my first Flash that had a leak. Within a week I had my second Flash that is working perfectly. I have 2 Edguns and a Vulcan that are not much more accurate.

    Things I would have changed:

    Plastic single loader, the bolt is really hard to cock do to the heavy hammer spring.

    What others should know:

    A good rifle at the right price, And Pyramid has outstanding customer service.

    Things I liked:

    Quiet, accuracy, weight. Haven't had a problem with this one. Like they said in the .25 after 10-15 top it off. I can get 20 no drop at 30 yds. Holds air, action gotten very smooth. No poi change after a couple weeks. Love it

    Things I would have changed:

    Metal trigger, can mod after warranty.

    What others should know:

    It's a hard hitting gun, they make all kind of after market part. Will void warranty. Give it 100 to 200 to settle in. Mine was less than 100

    Things I liked:

    Light weight and suprisingly accurate, At 30 yrds. In.25 one ragged hole.

    Things I would have changed:

    More efficient silencer, smoother cocking bolt, its got a very stiff spring and feels gritty. The single shot loading tray is junk.A decent manual with good instructions and a diagram of gun and parts is really needed.

    What others should know:

    This gun is not quiet as advertised, your neighbors will hear you shooting. My Flash is leakimg after one day. The air is escaping from the breech and drains completely in a few minutes.Im returning for an exchange. For the price, its not a bad gun.

    Things I liked:

    It works. Accuracy about 1/2" at 50 yds, and I still need to try different pellets. These were JSB King Heavy 33.95 gr. This is also with the Hatsan scope that came with the rifle. Trigger is pretty good, too.

    Things I would have changed:

    Magazine doesn't fit in real precisely, would like it to feel more solid.

    Things I liked:

    Weight and look and feel are great well made and durable. Shoots very accurate at 50 to 75 yards I can get a group that I can cover with a quarter completely. It goes through a 1/2 inch of solid season wood not pine but hard wood clean through at 50 yards. I use my nomad air compressor to fill it up and it takes 2 minutes and I am ready to shoot again. You can get 30 plus shots on one fill.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing,,,

    I have had no problems but allot of fun with it, reasonabley price to get anyone into pcp air guns.its a great introduction to pcp world....

    Things I liked:

    Working on number 2, first one blew out transfer port after 150 shots. Pyramid air did well for replacement. Now number 2 isn't as accurate but can live with it. Gun works and takes a lot of work.

    Things I would have changed:

    Feels cheap real cheap. After you get it right it would been cheaper for at44.

    What others should know:

    Stay away, much better guns for same price. Thinking about returning it for cash.

    Things I liked:

    Things I would have changed:

    Send customers the updated magazines in exchange for the bad ones from initial shipments. QC these rifles for leaky cylinders before distribution to vendors.

    What others should know:

    Beware of possible issues with magazine performance for those who purchased before the improved mag.

    Things I liked:

    What's not to like. This is my first purchase of a PCP Air Rifle. This Flash QE is very quiet and light weight. The accuracy is outstanding. I have the .25 cal. version, it has all the foot pounds you need for critters. It will easily dispatch a rodent, squirrel, groundhog, and even a coyote. Shoot placement comes easily with a mill dot scope. Practice, practice, practice; know where to hold at different yardage. This is a great gun to start out with if you want to try a PCP Air Rifle. Make sure you purchase one with a suppression system to reduce the report of the rifle. Without this you will get complaints. I love this rifle.

    Things I would have changed:

    I would like to see if they could design the Hatsan Flash QE PCP Rifle to have a air cylinder you remove and put a fully charged cylinder in its place. The 165cc air cylinder be increased to a 200cc cylinder. You can get 20 full power shots the current set up before having to top off the cylinder to 200BAR, 2900psi. This is in my .25 cal. FLASH QE.

    Things I liked:

    Not heavy, quiet, accurate: one hole groups at 15 yds., 1/2" at 40 yds.

    Things I would have changed:

    Better quality control. Purchased 10 for $10, absolutely could not put gun on safe! Had to increase cutout on trigger guard by 1/8"+ to move lever to safe position! Bolt handle continually worked loose; fixed with Locktite

    What others should know:

    For the price, the gun shoots great, just needed a little tweaking! Leaks no air, 40 shots or more with no dropoff @ 40 yards! Shoots many different pellets well.

    Things I liked:

    The Hatsan Flash QE .25 looks fantastic in person. This is a fantastic rifle and is my first PCP. I bought a hand pump from Amazon and I can fill this gun from 100 bar to 200 bar in 5 minutes. The scope that came with the gun was very quality. Gun sighted in in 5 shots. The last 3 in the same ragged whole. Extremely quiet. It almost sounds broken. Very accurate. Lightweight but rigid and sturdy. Came with tge correct fill probe and filling the gun was easy. I love the picatinny rail on the front. Very easy to steady when free handing

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing comes to mind

    Fantastic first or last PCP. It loves H&N Silver points and H&N Grizzly pellets
