New gun for April

This was an April Fool! Stop asking if we have any left in stock!!

April 1st 2015. New airgun design.

This month we look at the newly designed 'air rifle' from Norway's Vitser-tech co.

The Fusion XCS25 is a combination of air gun with new magnetic 'rail/coil gun' type technology.

First of all, it is semi-auto. Second.... UK legal because of a smooth bore barrel. Third...Magnets spin the projectile and give it an extra kick. So it is technically an airgun at 12ftlbs, but in reality it will chuck it's .25 specially made pellets (has to have steel in it to be magnetic) at around 120ftlbs.

It has an internal mag that holds 300 pellets and an air resevoir in the stock that will do all 300 rounds without any drop off (it's fully regulated) and the battery lasts for at least 1000 shots.

The electronic trigger is really smooth and you can make all sorts of adjustments.

The magnetic accelerator/twister is a clever bit of engineering.
It can take a variety of different rounds, but they must be the specific ones for the gun or it won't work (and they are quite expensive at £12 for 300!)

The company have sent us this picture of their ballistic gel testing.
Imagine what that would do to a rabbit or pigeon! Notice that the pellet fragments on exit, meaning there is little chance of richochets or any damage to back stops.

These are retailing at £2300... expensive but well worth it. The magnetic stabilisation means it 'one holes' at 70 yards! 



Only about 10 coming into the country so if you want one get into the shop soon as they are likely to sell out today 1st April.


I'll say that again ......"1st April"......

Afraid best we can do you is the Semi-Auto GTL480 from Evanix.  or the new Daystate Pulsar which are due any day now. Maybe I will see if I can make one of these though just for a laugh.
