Hatsan Barrage Semi-Auto PCP Air Rifle

The Hatsan Barrage is a semi-automatic PCP air rifle engineered for rapid follow-up shots without manual cycling. Its gas-operated system uses recycled air from each shot to automatically chamber the next pellet, allowing you to fire as quickly as you can pull the trigger. This makes the Barrage ideal for hunters facing multiple targets and pest controllers requiring swift engagement. The tactical polymer stock is fully ambidextrous with adjustable cheek and butt pads, delivering a custom fit for shooters of all builds. At 4.6 kg, the rifle provides a stable shooting platform, particularly suited for bench-rest and hide-based hunting.

The Barrage is available in 4.5mm (.177) and 5.5mm (.22) calibres to match your shooting discipline. The .177 version delivers up to 16 Joules with velocities reaching 240 m/s, making it EU-compliant for most countries without FAC requirements. A substantial 500cc air reservoir fills to 250 bar maximum pressure, providing approximately 60-70 shots per fill depending on calibre and pellet weight. Overall length measures 1040mm with a 500mm fully shrouded and choked barrel for enhanced accuracy. The rifle weighs 4.62 kg and features a built-in pressure gauge on the foregrip for convenient air-level monitoring. The receiver includes both 11mm dovetail and 22mm Picatinny rails for versatile optic mounting.

The defining feature is the gas-operated semi-automatic action that cycles reliably with proper maintenance and adequate air pressure above 100 bar. Three rotary magazines come included, offering 14 shots in .177 and 12 shots in .22. Two onboard storage slots within the stock keep spare magazines readily accessible during field use. The TruGlo fibre-optic open sights provide quick target acquisition for close-range shooting, while the 1/2 inch UNF threaded barrel accepts sound moderators for noise reduction where permitted. The detachable magazine system allows for rapid reloading, and the Quattro two-stage trigger is fully adjustable for both travel and pull weight. The fully shrouded barrel design reduces felt noise and protects the bore from damage.

The semi-auto mechanism requires consistent pellet dimensions for reliable cycling. The rifle functions best with pressure above 100 bar; below this threshold, the action may fail to cycle fully. The trigger pull is firm at approximately 7 pounds, which some shooters find heavy for precision work. Magazine cover tension can vary between included magazines, potentially requiring user adjustment to ensure smooth feeding. Extended pellets such as Predator Polymag and JSB Jumbo Beasts do not fit the magazine and should be avoided. The patented Anti-Knock System prevents accidental discharge if the rifle is dropped or knocked.

For optimal accuracy, owners consistently recommend specific pellet choices. The H&N Coppa-Spitzkugel produces outstanding groups, with testing showing eight of ten shots touching at 20 yards. The H&N Baracuda Hunter is also highly effective, delivering 10-shot groups within 1 1/16 inch at the same distance. For long-range precision, JSB Jumbo Heavy 18.19 grain pellets achieve 3/4 inch groups at 50 yards during controlled shooting. Rapid fire expands groups to approximately 2 inches, reflecting the challenge of maintaining aim during the cycling action. The choked German steel barrel maintains consistent accuracy across a range of quality pellets.
