Hatsan Jet 3... WTH???

[Spacebus]

I still can't get my Jet 1 to take air ?   Now you guys are at Jet 3 ? 

Try cocking it first.

Personally, not too impressed with the accuracy/consistency in the video.

Well that is sufficiently fugly and plasticky that I will not be purchasing one. Plastic/composite stocks I often rather like but when the entire rifle is plastic including yet another built in suppressor that is going to get blown out when double stroked, yep, looks like a solid pass for me. The race to the bottom continues unabated.

If these air rifles/pistols keep up with the PB tactical-cool and military AR look they will catch the eye of the law makers.

Hatsan makes the ugliest PCP guns, no doubt

I bought one a week ago and it did not go well. Fitted a Victoptics red dot and tried to get it to shoot close to target in my garage over 5 meters.
Could not get it to group at this distance. At 10m four out of five were on an A4 paper target and one shot was complete off the paper. It tried about 15 different types and weights of pellets. Best was H&N Barracuda 18.
Took it back to the dealer on Saturday and he checked the barrel. There was a very serious barrel problem and the importer agreed to replace the gun.
I am now waiting for the replacement.

It was a 5.5 mm caliber and was producing 15.4 to 15.8 FPE, depending on pellet type and weight.

The tape around the pacifier ports reduce the amount of sound substantially.

The barrel/shroud on the Jet 3 looks to be much longer than the 1 or 2.  It also looks like the regulator has pushed the air tubes forward.  Are they the same size air tubes as the Jet 2?  I'm not a fan of the attached moderator and wonder if it is impacting your POI?  Is it removable, or permanently attached?  Both my Jet 1 and Jet 2 are pretty accurate at 25 yards, I would think a longer barrel would improve accuracy. 

Okay, looks like it's being offered here are the Jet 2-QER.  It says it has an 11.8" barrel, where the Jet 1 and Jet 2 have a 7.9" barrel.  Though not specifically stated, it's looks like the US version might have a threaded barrel adapter, or at least it looks like a thread protector at the end of the barrel.  The specs also show the air cylinders are the same size.

What's very misleading is their mention of removable air cylinders...  Per Hatsan USA: 

Pack the JET2-QER, some extra cylinders, and pellets in your bag and you’re set for your next adventure!

**DO NOT REMOVE THE DUAL AIR CYLINDERS WHILE PRESSURIZED

If you can't remove the dual cylinders while pressurized, why bother bringing extras along?  Empty air cylinders are just dead weight!  The Jet 1 single air cylinders are advertised as being swappable under pressure, but not the dual cylinders.  Now, having said that, I did buy a dual cylinder for my .25 Jet 1, converting it to a Jet 2.  By the way it's built, I feel it can be removed and replaced because the valve is built into the assembly.  So, with the hammer cocked and no pressure on the valve, removing the grub screw and sliding out the cylinder/valve and sliding another one in, should be possible.  But, who wants to mess with removing small parts like screws/grub screws in the field, where they could be easily lost, rendering your airgun useless?

It’s kind of unreal… That permanently affixed moderator is an eyesore.  I’m sure it’s appealing to people who don’t want to mess around and just buy something and be done with it.

I wonder if the regulator is adjustable? They don't make it sound like it is.

Watch the video I posted above. According to Riddict, the US isn't going to see the Jet 3 with the ugly moderator. He says we're getting the Jet qer with a shroud.
