Overview
The Kral Puncher Pro 500 is a Turkish pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle produced by Kral Arms. It uses a smooth side-lever cocking action to feed a cassette-style rotary magazine (12 rounds in .22, 14 in .177) and draws from a removable 500cc front-mounted buddy-bottle air reservoir filled to 250 bar. Fitted with a full-length shrouded barrel for noise reduction, an adjustable two-stage trigger, an adjustable power wheel, and a Turkish walnut sporter stock, it is a high-capacity multi-shot rifle aimed at hunting, pest control, and recreational target shooting. It is offered in .177, .22, and .25 calibres.
