Hatsan - Gladius PCP Air Rifle

GLADIUS - powerful Hatsan Arms PCP multi-shot air gun with energy regulator and bullpup stock. Thanks to the use of bullpup system, compact dimensions of the rifle have been achieved, while maintaining the normal length of the barrel guaranteeing excellent accuracy and a reduced drop typical for this construction.

Energy regulator - by means of a knob located next to the magazine's port we can adjust the shot's output energy depending on the needs or the distance we shoot at. Levels of regulation: pos. 1 - 7 J, pos. 2 - 12 J, pos. 3 - 17 J, pos. 4 - 22 J, pos. 5 - 26 J, pos. 7 - 30 J (data for a 4.5 mm FAC version airgun).

Barrel - fully covered with a metal cover. Precision threaded barrel length 19.4". (495 mm), Hatsan QE (QuietEnergy) with integrated silencer (reduces gunshot sound by -50%). This solution maintains maximum wind energy, which is not possible with an optional silencer. The screw-on silencer always weakens the firing energy and requires recalibration of the optical instruments as it changes the ballistic parameters of the pellet. The narrowing at the barrel's exit, called the choke, significantly improves the accuracy of the rifle, especially when shooting over long distances. The quality of the barrel has an impact on accuracy, it is one of the most important elements of every weapon and air gun.

Cartridge - an replaceable 255 cc compressed air tank located under the barrel. Fully charged, it allows for 50-65 effective shots depending on the caliber of the airgun (data for FAC version). The built-in pressure gauge allows you to control the pressure in the reservoir and thus the level of charge. A rotating ring protects the charging inlet from damage. When the compressed air is drained, an empty tank can be replaced by a new filled one (optional). This is a perfect solution for those who do not want to take a PCP pump or cylinder to the shooting range.

Important - the air injected into the airgun should be dried, which prevents the cartouche from corroding. Using the original HATSAN HAND PUMP equipped with a particle filter (retaining moisture from the air sucked in from outside) and an additional dehumidifier insert (retaining the remaining moisture) extends the life (tightness) of the cartouche.

Stock - bullpup type, with thumb hole, made of durable polymer in black. The stock is suitable for right and left-handed people and ends with a rubber pad. With the help of a system of screws it is possible to adjust the pad vertically (up / down) and horizontally (length) as well as the height of the comb. Thanks to the possibility of adjustment with screws, the process of setting up the gun according to your own preferences and shooting style is quick and uncomplicated. Three slots for spare magazines.

Mounting rail - tactical version of the airgun without aiming devices, with a double 11 mm / 22 mm mounting rail, allows you to mount any optical viewfinder. The rail complies with MIL-STD 1913 standard (called picatinny or Weaver). Three picatinny standard rails on the rifle grip.

Magazines - replaceable, rotating. Depending on the calibre, aluminium 10-shot (4.5 mm and 5.5 mm) or steel 9-shot (6.35 mm) are offered. Reloading is done by means of a two-bar lever located on the right side of the rifle. It pulls the "cock", turns the magazine and inserts new shot into the barrel. Four magazines are included.

Oxide - black-oxidized lock chamber, other elements covered with blue finish oxide.

Accessory equipment - metal rotating rings for mounting the sling. Quick-Fill end for quick air filling with Hatsan Hand Pump, technical or diving cylinder (300 bar). The airgun is packed in a professional polymer suitcase.

Safety - GLADIUS is equipped with a number of unique solutions improving comfort and safety:
- Quattro Trigger, 2-stage adjustable trigger mechanism (adjustable pressure and trigger length). It allows to customize trigger characteristics to the user's requirements, thus improving accuracy and ease of firing.
- Anti-Double-Pellet Feed, a mechanism that prevents more than one shot from being loaded into the barrel.
- Anti-Knock System®, a patented system that prevents the loss of compressed air in the event of a mechanical impact.
- Manual-automatic safety to prevent an uncontrolled shot.
Each air rifle comes with a unique 17 J Energy Limit Certificate. The certificate is the only document confirming the compliance of the product features, and thus the legality of the airgun with Polish regulations.
