Hatsan Flash QE

the accompaning photo if they ok it was taken after the second clip of 12 shots @ 45 yds. out of the box. i carefully pushed a dry patch thru the bore before shooting it.

Pros
just took delivery of another flash qe in .22 cal today. these guns are accurate and powerful. the triggers are superb. the only fly in the ointment is the set screw for the hammer spring tension screw is is turned in way too tight. hopefully some penetrating oil will loosen it up!

Cons
nada

the first qe prints 1/2 in. groups @ 45yds. perfect for pigeons. 2900 psi with hammer spring backed out 1 1/2 turns and no pressure regulator is the setup with jsb hades 15.89gr. also be ready to change an o-ring or two. this is one quiet and powerful dude so watch what your aiming at. i'm going set up the second qe like the first and should get about 24 shots with excellent accuracy

Pros
just ordered my second flash 22 qe

Cons
the action did not seat all the way down in the stock on the first one so i epoxied a thin washer to the rear mounting pad to take up the slack. accuracy instantly improved.

hatsan says run a dry cleaning patch thru the bore every 500 to 1000 rds. i didn't believe them so i cleaned the barrel after every 20 rds. and got only very few good goups. THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT WHEN THEY SAY 500 TO 1000 RDS. I'm an old bench rest shooter so that didn't make any sense to me. live and learn lol. the gun is a real bargain. no leaks, no bolt problems, all fun !!!

Pros
the gun is much lighter than my springers. the trigger is very nice and haven't touched it. this gun is powerful so care must be taken when shooting. it is VERY accurate ( 1/2 in. at 30 yds. 10 rds. with norma 15.9 gr. pills). i fill the reservoir to 2750 psi and get 25 to 30 accurate shots. point of impact doesn't change much with different pellet weights until the pressure starts to fall way off (1400 psi ?). this gun is a real pigeon executioner.

Cons
nada nada nada

All and all this rifle gives the impression of being assembled from off the shelf parts and not thought out at all. Bottom line I would not recommend this to a friend.

Pros
I haven't had a chance to shoot this gun yet due to the very snowy weather we have having but I have learned a great deal by watching reviews for other PCP rifles and seeing the newer models being offered at similar prices.

Cons
The open uncovered fill hole is not what I would have wanted on a hunting gun which I consider the .25 to be. and the lack of an adapter for the fill tube pin wash a cheap shot leaving you with the job of finding the necessary quick fill out of the dozens of choices online an making you pay for something that should have come with the gun. The fixed cheek rest needs to be adjustable as it is on most PCP guns. The fill gage on the bottom is a poor choice of placement and the pistol grip is on the small side and lacks stippling or checkering.

This is a very good gun when starting out,based on accuracy and reliability alone,very powerful gun,great buy for any level of airgunner

Pros
Very powerful,very accurate, and reliable,this was my first pcp,, never let me down,until I broke it about 6 months ago,I mean hatsan rifles keep going and going and going,I have a couple of hatsan,no issue with them,anyways I think the flash is a great first gun for someone just starting because of the reliability and accuracy

Cons
The bolt is a little hard when loading a pellet in,and the magazine doesn't line up that good

If you have chickens, this will help you keep their numbers from being reduced by predators

Pros
Pros: you'd be hard pressed to match the power and accuracy for even close to this price.

Cons
Cons: Magazines aren't exactly intuitive and the tank isn't very big. No adjustability in the gas regulator either.

If it wasnt for the accuracy I'd feel like I made a bad decision. If you're just getting into pcp rifles and dont want anything more probably the perfect rifle. If you're expecting more and want to increase performance might want to save for a higher end rifle and save money.

Pros
Accurate, powerful, light and fairly good looks. Paired with utg 2×16×44 swat and feels like a foot match for the rifles capabilities.

Cons
Sloppy action and maching. Calking the rifle is a chore, not smooth. Even though it's a budget build I think it's a shame for what got approved for passing tolerances. Needs a regulator, no pcp should be made without one. Plastic trigger assembly, metal would be better.

Pretty powerful lil gun and deadly accurate even out to 100 yards!

Pros
Lightweight, powerful, and accurate when walking fields. No need to second guess when talking aim.

Cons
Could shoot more per fillup

I bought this rifle a couple months ago as my first purchase of a PCP and I’ve got to say that overall I’m very impressed. I paired this gun with a Mantis 3-9x32 scope and it does everything I need it to do. I bought this rifle predominantly for taking care of squirrels and other pests at my house in the city. I can’t fire a traditional .22 where I live but this gun is easily quiet enough to shoot in my yard without disturbing the neighbors. I’ve been extremely impressed with the accuracy and power this rifle has. I’ve killed 12 squirrels (all head shots and all dead on impact) and a bunch of invasive birds (starlings and grackles). I am shooting the Predator Polymag 16gr ballistic tipped pellets and they seem to run great in the rifle. The only issue I have is getting it filled. It’s a little tricky to get filled but that could be an adaptor issue or user error. I purchased a GX pcp compressor from amazon that works great for much less than the ones sold on airgun sites.

Pros
Accurate & affordable

Cons
Magazine is a little funky

I have put around 1000 rounds through the flash and have found it to be a tack driver and shoots most quality ammo very well. It has a lot of power compared to most entry pcp’s. I also have a Gamo Urban which I would recommend over the Flash due to more consistent shots and an overall better build IMO.

Pros
Fast, lightweight, quite and accurate

Cons
Magazines are finicky and jams occur if not careful
