Do you love Air Rifles?Mbr/> But hate only having one shot at your disposal?, you’d have to pump your air gun up again for another shot. Well, this air rifle is actually a fast-shooting semi-automatic. Twang N Bang Youtuber shows us all about the BullMaster Semi-Auto Air Rifle.
The BullMaster is Hatsan USA's venture into semi-auto PCP air guns, and will be available in the .177 and .22 calibers. It features a 500cc volume air bottle mounted to the forearm beneath the fully shrouded, precision rifled and choked barrel.
The modern air rifle is both powerful and superbly accurate. Again, the problem with many air rifle models is they are one-shot deals that require a powerful pump for a second shot. Shooting at game animals is usually a one-shot deal or just plinking at targets like soda cans.
This might be a thing of the past. If you are armed with the fast-shooting Hatsan BullMaster Semi-Auto Air Rifle, you are ready for multiple quick shots at a moment's notice. The air power is just getting better and better these days. See the action here.
No velocity figures. No accuracy numbers.
Max Velocity 1050 fps
Muzzle Energy 21 ft/lbs
Caliber.177

You could put many eyes out with that thing.
Here’s another video on Youtube of this air rifle - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3ih8g-2Z8s
Looks heavy and ungainly.
I’ll stick to my suppressed Ruger 10/22 with subsonic rounds for in-town varmit killing. Probably quieter.
Try finding a source for compressed air refills. Practically non existent unless you live near a scuba shop.
10/22 with CBee .22LR rounds would do it. And if Popo gets a notion to take your gun for shooting in town, a lot cheaper.
How long before a fully automatic?
Will it kill squirrels? I’m in.
Evanix has had a semi auto out in .25, .30 and 9mm.
In windless conditions I can stack my .177s out to ~50 yards (I have a single shot USFT, I run around 900 fps).
My 3 PCP rifles are suppressed, very quiet.
The Evanix were originally full auto, but they caught flak,so they revised them to semi. Easy enough to convert back though.
Our range bought a compressor, and a big tank will fill many of the .177, .20, .22 and .25 guns for several thousand rounds. If you’re feeling badass you can fill them with a hand pump too.
My operating range is 1300-1600 psi (a USFT sips about 1/2 the air of most others and I got a huge 3K psi tank and dolly for 3 ounces of silver) and I get about 80 shots per fill out of it (the rifle ) at desired velocity between fills.
Already there in .22 in a Thompson replica.
I’m with you on the Ruger 10/22. Love mine.
There are tons of fully auto air guns.
One is on Amazon.
