Over 192 ft-lbs! That's a serious hunting gun! This stunning precharged pneumatic rifle has what every airgunner wants: accuracy backed by truly daunting power. The Dragon Slayer 50 is made by ShinSung, a Korean company that knows what hunters really want in an airgun. After all, Koreans have been hunting with airguns for decades.

The power and accuracy of the Dragon Slayer 50 would have been enough to make airgunners happy, but they added a beautiful, well-balanced hardwood ambidextrous Monte Carlo stock (right-hand sidelever). Checkering on the pistol grip and forearm are another indication of the level of detail poured into this rifle's sculpted design.

Cock the rifle with the sidelever and insert a .50 caliber bullet in the mammoth loading trough. When you're out in the field, that giant loading area will make it easy to pop in another bullet when you want to get off a finishing shot. There aren't any sights, so you'll have to mount a scope on the 11mm rails.

The single air reservoir is located directly below the barrel and is filled with either a scuba tank, electric compressor or a hand pump. Put 3000 psi in the gun and get ready for some awesome power. With a 225-grain bullet, we got 192 ft-lbs of pummeling energy. A 200-grain bullet on a 3000 psi fill will sail downrange around 567 fps, while the tenth shot will go about 541 fps (approx. 2200 psi). Each gun is individual, and some guns may get lower velocity...or higher velocity.
