Kral Arms Puncher Breaker Reviews

The model of this gun

I would change how you all refurbish your products. Very poor job or not done at all. The gun looks extremely worn and scuffed up. Have you never heard of denatured alcohol and Vaseline.

Not sure about Pyramyd's other refurbished guns, but the one I got shows extreme wear and tear. It was also very dirty. Who ever owned this gun before me should not be aloud to own an airgun. I am surprised it even shoots. If they maintained it like they cleaned it, it wouldn't shoot at all.

#1) The quick service from pyramid, #2) had a problem, charging this puncher, call pyramid, air it took five minutes to get through. The problem was the gun had to be caulked for it to take its first charge. I was going to return it. I’m glad I did not. This is a hard hitting rifle a beautifully made peace. I had problems with the leakage when I charged I took the cap off the charging port and found out that I was cutting the O-rings when I push the probe in now I charge it by taking the cap completely off and there is no problem charging with the Kwik fill port. this rifle is a tech driver right out of the box. Do yourself a favor and purchase this best investment you will have made.

Absolutely nothing at all great rifle

Do yourself a favor you need a riser for your scope or red dot. I bought see-through mounts 1 inch put a laser on the bottom rail and my red dot on top beautiful set up very fast. this gives me two points of impact. I also bought a 12 inch Picatinny rail to extend the bottom rail for good scope eye relief. Caulking this rifle has to be done with the left hand over the stock very fast I am right handed do not have to use the right hand to release the pistol grip the charge. I can shoot this rifle from any position without looking through the site. It’s a tack driver.

I had lower expectations because of mixed reviews. I took a chance on a refurbished gun. That said, I immediately put 500 rounds down range. Aesthetics of the gun, good balance and shouldering, power and accuracy.

I don't have any issues with the gun as of yet.

Loudness is not a problem for me, so a moderator won't be necessary. My Gamo Swarm Magnum break barrel is louder by comparison. It is one of my heavier guns but the balance negates the weight. I bought the gun to hunt so it will not be a bench queen. Off shooting sticks Air Arms 18g, Crosman Domed Ultra Heavy 19g, and Neilson 17.5g slugs all can give me 5-shot groups under a quarter at 50 yards. Those 3 performed the best so far with at least 2 dozen others not far behind. I will typically be hunting ranges well under 50 yards and am zeroed at 25 yards. The gun averages 29 fpe over 4 magazines from 200 bar down to 120 bar. My Evanix REX-P fill probe works with this gun. I can easily fill with a hand pump, but prefer a compressor or tank. Holding air and no probe leaks here.

This is my go to rifle for rainy snowy days. High power, adjustable, 50shots at 3/4 power, tack driver accurate, looks are unique. Excellent trigger.

Make buttplate shims available.

Requires some addaption in shooting position, feels awkward at first. The power adjustment is sensitive, only move a little below 1/2 power. The quality of this rifle is very good.

Power adjustment is very effective and can be set higher or lower at any time. Very efficient on air, 60 shots ez in 22cal on medium power. Accurate, smooth action, good trigger, well made, striking good looks. High power it's a hunter, mid power a high shot plinker, low power quiet indoor 10m gun. Kral makes amazing airguns we don't get here. Check out Krals Turkish web site to see all the candy.

Magazine is a nose rest, should hang out right side not left.

Bullpups require a different hold then 'normal ' guns. This one especially so. It becomes natural with a little practice. Bullpups fit into medium backpacks, great for plink walks. Much higher shot count with this then almost any other backpack gun.
My Air Venturi Avenger is similar efficiency, but won't fit in a backpack. (You need one of each)

Absolutely stunning.. excellent quality. Love the adjustable air valve and hammer spring.

Raise the picatinny rail 12mm or so.

Check out all the Kral airguns we don't get here in the states. An impressive company no doubt.

Its compact and lite.Its super accurate and offered alot of power and shots in .22 caliber.Its a highlight under rated gun.The fit and finish is amazing.I would buy another one.I own a Hatsan Bullboss in .25 and I feel the Kral is a better piece of equipment.

The fill probes are a pain as will all guns that use them.The rear mounted side lever is an aggravation but for the price range you get use to it.Once loaded if you barely touch the cooking lever it flies open and then if you close it.....congratulations you just loaded two pellets into the barrel.If you remove the shroud for a screw on suppressor you need to fab up a barrel support.The gun is on the loud side but I researched that marauder baffles fit inside of the shroud.A lower pic/weaver rail would be great.

I paid for the 10 for $10 service.Gun arrived with a crack in the Kral mag cover and causes the mag to jam.Pyramids only option was to send the entire gun back to exchange it for another or a refund.Why not offer to replace a mag...or see if the manufacturer would help?Gun was a refurbished and the bolt probe o-ring dry routed and crumbled to pieces on the second mag.DEspite all of that it's still worth the refurb prices.Paying full price it still holds its own against other budget bullpups.

High shot count and its a bull pup design. You can add a regulator to it for increased power and even higher shot count. It may not have a regulator upon purchase but again it thinks it does. I get 50 to 70 shots in.25 cal. Not really pellet picky, Grizzly I think is the only one thats not accurate so far off for our five brands Ive tried. This gun is a laser once sighted in. This was my first pcp 3 or 4 years ago and no issues love this gun. I highly recommend it.

The weight is manageable because its resting in your shoulder but lighter could be nice.

The composite material is better than you think. Im going to have it wrapped just for Aesthetics, wood version is heavier but the nickel I think looks nicer.

Nice bull pup design

Installation of sling swivels

This is my second pcp from Pyramyd Air. Also have a Walter Reign. They are both in .25 cal. No complaints with either gun. I also recommend 5-6 pellet magazines per gun. Nice to also have a pcp air compressor; makes life a lot easier.

features

better system for mounting scope as line of sight from buttstock to scope is not user friendly

Short ,accurate to 40 yards. Haven't gone past that yet

Heavy for me,

U can't go wrong for the money

Size, weight and extra mag storage along with Biathlon style cocking handle are terrific. Like that it comes with air probe, goodies bag and foam cut-out padded box. Price isn't too bad for a budget PCP. The Marine finish can help with harsher environs but still would need wiping, etc. Two magazines and a magazine storage (synthetic stock only) bay is great, wish they had thought of that, as well, for the filler probe! This Bullpup form will be great for inside barn pest control once fully outfitted and tuned up. I do like the power adjuster knob but found that I keep it between middle and max power to get the 50meter shot placements.

The front lower picatinny rail and the cheek piece seem like a poor (I'm being polite here) afterthought. I'd like to see those redesigned. Realizing that manufacturers need to keep costs down I'd still like to see this rifle regulated. A little bit more adjustment to the second stage of the trigger that won't lock up the action would be nice and a lever or lip attachment to the extra mag bay to help eject the spare mag would be a neat trick, not too spendy to implement.

Do not get this rifle if it's your first PCP unless you are willing to spend extra on a moderator or 'quiet' kit. It has a real "bark" that is not backyard friendly at all, at least until you muzzle it. Also, you will need either extra high scope ring mounts or a riser added before your scope rings are mounted for a useable eye relief. There are answers but you will need to look for them. Yes, one does get a good number of shots per fill even on MAX power but I am still going to go for after market reg and tuning as I hear it turns and okay airgun into a real hunter. upgrades are potentially spendy.

Size weight accuracy 2 mags looks and shot count.

Shroud needs baffles the gun is still too loud. A few QC issues.

Love my gun but from new I was getting a puff of air in my face every shot. The gun is very accurate with JSB 15.89 pellets. After a mag and a half I was always chasing my poi down. Come to find out the power adjuster was backing out on its own. I tried tightening the allen screw for the adjuster but that made it back out faster. I'm going to replace the Orings if that doesn't work Pyramyd gets this one back. I really want this gun to work.

Size and style of gun are very comfortable. You get a lot of shots per fill and is easy to fill with my hand pump. Trigger pull on mine is great. I like the little storage compartment on front of forearm. I get really good groups with the 15.89 JSB's. Should make a really good small game gun when the time comes.

I would for sure change the height of the picatinny scope rail. It is way to low. I had to make my own adapter to raise the scope and use extra high mounts. I can now use the cheek piece with the scope. Really don't like the way the forearm picatinny is mounted. It is only held on with one screw allowing the rail to move all over the place and not provide a secure mount. Two screws on this would have solved the problem.

I would buy this gun again regardless of the scope mounting issue and front rail. It is still a very good shooter for it's price. Just be prepared to do some work on it to get the scope height correct. It is a quality built gun with very few issues.

Pretty good shooting little gun so far. It really likes the 25.39 jsb exact kings the H&N barracuda hunter extremes 28.24 gr shot ok too. I've gotten dime sized groups with the jsb's out to 50 yds. I've taken a few squirrels at 40 yds with it also.

The picatiny rail they supply to go on the bottom of the riffle is cheap plastic the bipod I got to go with the gun rocks and doesn't lock in good.

Pretty straight shooting gun for the money I hand pump mine and its doable would be a lot easier with a scuba tank or compressor.

This airgun is an outstanding value. Pellet on pellet accuracy right out of the box. 1/2" groups at 25 yds. The .25 packs enough wallop to take medium game. This is the best bullpup for the money, bar none. It balances well shooting off-hand. I live in Louisiana near the gulf. I am hoping the marine finish withstands the high humidity. My other guns have not.

1. The cheek piece is too high. I have had to add a 1/2' riser to the picatinny rail and use high base mounts to get the correct eye position. 2. This gun, out of the box, is loud. I don't know why the front shroud adapter cannot be vented in a way to use the entire shroud. I removed the shroud and added a 6" moderator. Once I removed the barrel shroud, I experienced some minor barrel droop. 3. The trigger pull should be a pound lighter.

Nothing that I mentioned above would stop me from buying this gun again. I have lusted for an FX, but alas, my income doesn't match my desires. If the FX is more accurate I couldn't measure it. If your budget is like mine BUY THIS BULLPUP.

The balance of weight is great, very surprisingly accurate. I was hitting the same hole over and over at 50 yards. Length of the gun is great. This is my first bullpup style and gotta say, I love it.

The "marine" look is awesome but really attracts finger prints and shows smudges. Would also really like it if the cocking lever was about 6 inches fwd o where it is.

I had to order a special riser and 1/2 inch high rings to get the scope in a comfortable position. As mentioned by others, the lower front picatinny screw is too long to work. A few seconds on the grinder is an easy fix though. I was a bit leery about buying this with it's not so great history and problems but took the chance. REALLY glad I did. I may have just got lucky and got a perfect unicorn unit of this gun or the problems have been addressed and fixed, because this thing is utterly amazing. I have had absolutely ZERO problems and nothing but consistent perfection with this gun. Its almost "boringly accurate" when you just know exactly where you are going to hit each and every time you pull the trigger, it kinda takes some of the fun out of it. But all in all, very very pleased with it. As for long term... I can't yet say. I've put probably a couple thousand pellets through it and zero issues. Plan on putting thousands more through it on the future. If something changes...

Looks nice,great weight.

Wouldn't know,Never owned one that worked

I put 6 pellets through it to sight it in. After that,it wouldn't hold air. I sent it back TWICE for repair and received it back with the same problem. I guess you get what you pay for.

The Kral Arms Puncher Breaker Silent Marine caught my eye because I'm a longtime bullpup user, the black and silver color combo rocks, and the design of the rifle is something that I could tinker with. I modified mine by removing the shroud, suspending the barrel, and adding a DonnyFL Ronin suppressor. It sits on a Leapers/UTG Recon 360, and not only is it whisper quiet now, the accuracy is amazing! Even though I am indoor bench-rest shooting through winter, I've still shot it off-hand, and it shoulders perfectly. Weight distribution is great, and even though the cocking/charging-handle is at the cheek position, I adapted quickly. I have a Nova Freedom .22 and a Hatsan Gladius .22, and those are two fantastic guns.. After shooting the Puncher Breaker though.. The others just sit impatiently waiting for their turns. It's just that fun! Overall, price to performance - These things are hard to beat. *Fingers Crossed* That nothing breaks, but so far.. I Highly recommend them!

I really had to think about this one.. MY rifle setups always have two things in common: *Adjustable Cheek Combs & *Adjustable Buttplates. If they don't, I'll customize and/or modify them to. The Puncher Breakers here in the US [at least these models] are fixed. Lucky for me, I can use Med. height rings, and the scope is dead on. I do wish that I could adjust the buttplate up/down though. Just a bit. Kral does have an adjustable buttplate that fits these, and comes on a few models, however, they aren't available in the US [yet] and even after e-mailing Kral Arms directly, they don't seem to answer. So, it is what it is. Aside from that? I really wouldn't change a thing.

I've been shooting precision / target for about 25 years now..
In that time, I've shot a LOT of different rifles, and a bunch of bullpup specific models..
[powder burners included]
The Puncher Breaker is seriously one of my favorite rifles to use.
It's just the perfect combo of size, weight, feel, the design is nice, shot-count is impressive,
and the accuracy I've been getting is absolutely amazing! Stacking pellets on pellets over and over again.
I'm a big fan of air rifles that offer power-level adjustments, and the power-dial on the Puncher Breakers offer just that..
For indoor shooting, I've been firing at 1/2 power, and actually, that'd probably be great for small pesting too..
For outdoor shooting, they'll crank up to full power to really reach out and touch a target at long range. IMO, that's a must.

**Fill Probe Compatibility**
I have a Hatsan Gladius probe and a Kral Puncher Breaker probe.
Both will interchange with each other. Just so others know. =)

Nice looking rifle! This is a lot of gun for the price! Shoulders well and good balance although heavy. Very accurate with Crosman Premiers! The single shot tray works great! Magazine storage in front of the stock is very handy. Plastic stock fits my hands very comfortably. The cocking lever operates smoothly, without any issues. The trigger is crisp and easy to adjust lighter.

Quality control should be better. The power markings are not centered over the adjuster. My shroud had a dent on one end, and the barrel band had flashing material on one side. Lighter weight would be nice. The shroud is just for looks, and would benefit from an air stripper and baffles.

This rifle is anything BUT silent. Very loud and definitely not backyard friendly unless you use 1/2 power. I'm getting 700 fps on 1/2 power with CPHP's. Would benefit from an aftermarket moderator. In order to get a good sight picture I had to add a 1/2" scope mount riser and use high scope mounts. The marine finish while nice, shows smudges and dirt very clearly. Despite the minor issues, this rifle is a great value and fun to shoot. My first bullpup and the price from PA was great! Be sure to get the 10 for $10, I consider a must have option from PA.
