[starlingassassin]

Looks like a different system, it has a Sidelever.

Only this one, with 500 FPE on tap will be able to reach well into the 900's, even with 300 gr slugs. Does not say if it is .452 or .458....hopefully the former, as there is lots more medium weight pistol molds in.452...

Meh... just have a new barrel made, using the stock one as the pattern... Oh the possibilities!!  Too bad AF is still lagging a few YEARS behind what the guys on the TAG have been able to do w/the platform!

Ok...  for those of you seeking more power;

look out squirrels    


this is not your daddy's air gun 


they skipped right over those puny calibers 


... 500 fpe ?

[AK73]

Wow, I wonder how many shots you'd get off that thing? You'd better not shoot a squirrel with it...if you want any squirrel left!

Yo, B!  You gonna buy the Texan instead of the Carnivore now?  You won't even have to do any machining and it's a side lever.  You should totally get that, brother man.    I'm just saying...

Those North GA elephant squirrels are in trouble now.     

Airforce Airguns 500 ft lbs at 6.75 lbs... Hatsan BT65 at...13 lbs?
Come on Hatsan, Airforce has shown the way!!!

Joe you know be better then I know myself No I am still going to get the Hatsan .30cal because I know that I can get 950fps out of her, but I am going to bypass the Hatsan .357 a take a long look at test results on the Texan, I do not like that it is a single shot and the platform, would much rather have a gun stock of some kind. But I will wait and see who catches up with the texans power. I'm sure this is only the beginning of this big bore craze.

[PakProtector]

I think the term 'production' is being defined in a rather special fashion. Certianly the Ranger XP and many of the Extreme stable can top 500 FPE. This one does do it from a 3000 psi fill...but I'd not bet too heavily on a shot string more than about 4 long at that energy...and more likely only three. Guess we need some of the bigger tanks put on...

I assume the 1000 fps is with roundball.... My Hayabusa hits 1100 with those, and 550 FPE with 336 gr., so that would make sense.... Got to give them credit for doing it with 3000 psi (I used 3600) but the 34" barrel would help.... The most impressive thing is the weight.... I wonder if they beefed up the frame?.... It will be interesting when these hit the public, for sure....
