Things I liked:

This thing really delivers some great power for the price. The carbon fiber tank holding 300 bar (~4351 psi) is well made and light with a clear gauge. The picatinny railmounts on all four sides of the tank are a simple addition, but really useful.

Things I would have changed:

The stock is light and the shape is ergonomic, but it has a cheap feel and look to it. A regulator to get at least a few consistent shots would be nice. With nearly 800 FPE (for the first shot), I'd like the option to sacrifice some of that to get more shots.

What others should know:

The NSA (NielsonSpecialtyAmmo.com) 388 grain, 510 cal slugs fit in this perfectly. You need ear protection or a suppressor when shooting this beast... it's loud. Overall, this gun is legendary, but isn't really practical without a compressor following you around. I haven't found an external tank rated for more than 4500 psi so nothing can really fill this thing to the max. About 5 (gradually declining) shots and then back to the pump for an hour or the compressor for 20 minutes (or use an external tank to get mostly full and then a compressor to max it out).

Things I liked:

Nice gun.

Things I would have changed:

Very heavy, Hatsun support is non-existent.

What others should know:

Hatsun website always crashes. Phone contact with customer support refers you to the website or you can leave a message if you have no internet access. Not very helpful since they never respond to messages. I really wish I had bought a different brand.

    Things I liked:

    Accurate at 50 yards. Handles well for a heavy gun.

    Things I would have changed:

    Thread the barrel for a suppressor.

    What others should know:

    The gun I bought would not fill to 300 bar only to 250, so I don't know how it really shoots. I am going to return it. Now it will not fire.

    Things I liked:

    Everything is great. I picked this up on a GREAT sale and I'm still over joyed with the purchase. The thing IS a beast. Don't let the bullpup classification mislead ya. Ammo for it is 2nd to none. I've picked up 4 different (510) brands and they all fit and work great.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing

    What others should know:

    Watch the sale prices closely. Wear ear protection. I have a hand pump but after trying it once I gave up and went to my compressor. Shop around for those too, as you don't NEED an overly expensive one.

    The accuracy is absolutely spot on, the power will put anything down in North America! The shipping and sales experience from Pyramyd Air is unrivaled, love dealing with this team! I own several big bore pcp rifles, so far the Piledriver has climbed into my top 2!!! I own names like Texan, Hammer, Challenger and Bulldog... just saying!!!

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing

    What others should know:

    Get one ASAP!!! Look at PA's pricing compared to other dealers and act accordingly...lol

    Things I liked:

    Very powerful airgun. Shoots through 6" of wood. Well balanced so easy to shoot without a bipod or stand. Very heavy and loud. Kicks like my 3030 but as loud as a 22 pistol with a boom like a black powder rifle. Very easy to load. I have the 45 cal and I use 457 for below 400 grain and 454 for anything over 400 grain. Very accurate and no issues of any type for the 7 months I've had it

    Things I would have changed:

    Make it quieter. No silencer so you can shoot sabots
