I'm thinking the non-regulated factory power set up is causing the pellets to exceed the sound barrier (1086.9 fps) which will cause the excessive "crack" sound, like a .22 cal long rifle cartridge. A regulator would allow one to dial the muzzle velocity down below the sound barrier, which would quiet the retort. The moderator would be icing on the cake. I have read this is the perfect "slug gun."

Forget the FX MK11, I have one. It's nice but if you want a VERY powerful .25 caliber, Seneca makes one, called the Eagle Claw. My Fx cost $2500, my Seneca? $549.

Agree and I did. FX Crown Continuum.

I figured out "back yard friendly" guns are .177 caliber with a regulator to dial back muzzle velocity. I use Benjamin PCPs in .22 (Marauder Pistol) and .177 (Akela) both with aftermarket Huma-Air regulators.

Forgot to update my 25 cal but I can say Hatsan did an outstanding job on it also. It now holds air and It shooting on avg between 975-988 FPS and it is accurate as is with the other hatsan guns I have. Both of my neutron stars, 22 and 25 are what I expected them to be since being repaired. Shot count for the 22 is 80-85 shots and for some reason 90-100 in the 25, so I'm happy with them for now. Both shoot slugs dam good and the accuracy is good using pellets or slugs, just have to adjust your scope and it's on. (by the way the 25 cal didn't take as long to get back as the 22) so I guess it was to be expected due to the virus. Using the JSB knockouts and the H&N slugs will leave no doubt when you hit pest with them.

Today is July 16, 2020. I received my 22 cal neutron star back from Hatsan. My hat off to hatsan and the repair job they did !!! 1st off the gun was sent back fully aired, so that was one problem fixed. The other problem (fps) was also corrected. This gun is now VERY SCARY, meaning it getting well over 100 shots on a full fill. Here's the KICKER, the power on this gun is now awesome. On avg its getting 1050 fps using the H&N hunter extremes 18.5 gr. It's stacking hole in hole @ 50 yrds. This was what I had expected when I purchased the gun. It will now shoot thru a 18 wheeler mud flap and 1/2 inch plywood combined. Hatsan also sent 2 new mags, shoulder strap, and seals. I will leave the gun set at is because I must admit they did an outstanding repair job (in my opinion) !!! Truthfully, it was worth the wait. Will be sending my 25 cal back to have its power adjusted also. YES I WOULD BUY AGAIN, OR RECOMMEND TO A FRIEND. The neutron star is a winner in my book !!!

I like hatsan products, but when it comes to CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY SUCK, and its a shame because their guns are good and they have excellent power and accuracy. Just wish they would get their ACT TOGETHER for customer service !!! As I stated, haven't had any problems with the other guns so far, (THANK GOD), but the nova stars that I brought started off shooting good and then both guns started giving me problems. When I first got these guns they shot accurate and had the power, so I feel as though I just happen to get 2 that weren't accurately tested before shipping, or wasn't put together well. Hopefully when I get the 22 back it performs better, and when I ship the 25 back they don't take as long to repair it, and it will perform better also. WILL GIVE AN UPDATE/REVIEW WHEN I FINALLY GET THEM SERVICED

I guess I brought a lemon with both of these gus (22 and 25). My 22 would shot @ an avg of 830 fps and I couldn.t adjust the hammer spring for more power. Also it started losing air, filled it to 200 bar and it would leak down to 150 bar, and then I could only shoot 1 mag and it would be under 100 bar. Sent it to HATSAN for repair in May and still haven't got to my gun, due to back log !!! My 25 cal for some reason started losing power. Started off shooting an avg of 915 fps, and I couldn't adjust the hammer spring up or down. Now its losing power and the fps is around 650 fps. Will be sending it to HATSAN for repair, but its scary that it takes so long for them to contact me and let me know whats going on with the gun. Out of all my HATSAN PCP GUNS, these are the only (2) that I've had problems with. (I have 4 hercules bullies, 2 flashes, barrage and the 2 nova stars) Don't know if anyone else has had problems with their nova stars, but the 2 I have are a MAJOR LET DOWN !!!

The .25 will allow you to shoot a heavier slug, which will increase the ballistic coefficient, which reduces the effect of wind.

Not sure what you guys are talking about but I own the .22 and it’s very accurate. I’ve shot pigeons at 120yrds, gophers at 75yrds, dropped raccoons at 40 yards. These guns hate pellets but love slugs. Had you did your research on YouTube you would have found there are great review videos that explain all this. Yes it’s loud and for under 200 bucks get a Donny FL suppressor and it’s quieter than a mouse fart. This gun cocks very nicely with little effort very well balanced. Yes I understand sometimes you get a lemon and we are all human and we make mistakes, name one that is perfect. Hatsan USA has always responded to me so if there’s an issue they will get back to you, sometimes you need to check your spam. My point is stop putting up ignorant reviews. This gun is amazing and the only thing that beats it is a $3,000 fx mk ll. One of the things we are taught in the marines is know your weapon inside and out and I’ve put over 200 rounds down range and into animals. Perfect.

Sorry I bought the .177 Newtron Star. It's too loud and not accurate as my Gaunlet .177 To make the gun just "okay" the purchase of a regulator $$ and a suppressor $$ is a must do. Out of the box it throws jsb 10.34gr pellets from 612 fps to 1080fps with no regard for the hammer spring adjustment. In addition, the stock needs to be removed to adjust the hammer spring. The Neutron Star is at best a good looking but too expensive plinking gun or wall hanger...forget trying it at Field Target without $$_ modifications

I have both guns, and before they started screwinf up, I was please with them. As you said the hammer spring doesn't work, couldn't adjust the power up or down. As for accuracy both the 22 and 25 would stack hole in hole. The best pellets for my 25 were the H&N hunter, hunter extreme and believe it or not the grizzlies. the 22 also like the H&N hunters hunter extreme, terminators, and the JSB hades. Both guns would shoot other pellets well, but these were the ones that would stack hole in hole best in my guns. Just hate that the 2 I brought started losing air and power, and I hope HATSAN gets the problem solved, because most of my guns (9) of them are hatsan. The nova stars could be great guns if not for the problems I have, but for now, A MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT, because of Hatsan "POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE". Spending $1400.00 I expect better service then I have received !!!

It likes slug's try them
