Overview
The Hatsan FlashPup is a Turkish pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) bullpup air rifle offered in .177, .22, and .25 calibers. Built by Hatsan Arms Company, it packs a fixed 165cc carbon-fiber air cylinder filled to 200 bar into a compact 32-inch bullpup layout, feeding from a rotary magazine that holds 12 pellets in .22. The QuietEnergy (QE) models add a fully shrouded barrel with an integrated sound moderator, and the rifle uses Hatsan's fully adjustable two-stage Quattro Trigger, a side-lever cocking action, and dual 11mm dovetail and Picatinny optics rails. Its compact, accurate design makes it well suited to small-game hunting and pest control.
