Utilizing the company's patented Versi-Cal Technology (VCT), Hatsan has released its aptly named Hydra rife.

The Hercules Bully, from Hatsan, is a bullpup airgun designed to pack a punch.

Hatsan is expanding operations into the world of pneumatic arrow guns with the Harpoon.

Puerto Rico. Home to fruit-filled rum drinks, beautiful beaches, dense tropical forests and millions of destructive, non-native lizards that are wreaking havoc on infrastructure and agriculture. We are, of course, talking about the iguana—which is what brought Associate Editor Jon Draper to the island paradise in mid-May, armed with a Hatsan air rifle.

Hatsan USA has released the Hydra QE—now with an arrow-launcher—featuring its patented Versi-Cal Technology (VCT) interchangeable-caliber system, allowing the exchange of calibers via a single thumb screw.

Just in time for bow season, Hatsan has entered the pneumatic arrow gun market with the pre-charged Harpoon. Made specifically for use with commercial crossbow bolts, the bullpup-style Harpoon can send a 20-inch arrow downrange at 600 FPS, and produce 325 ft.-lbs. of energy.

A .25-caliber PCP rifle, Hatsan’s Galatian III is capable of sending a .25 grain pellet at speeds of up to 1,000 fps. For squirrels, rabbits, and even fox and coyote with the right shot placement, death is imminent.

The Carnivore can send its .30-caliber, 44-grain payload at a lizard-thumping 860 fps with enough air in the tank for about 20 shots before losing velocity. For the stateside small-gamer, that’s plenty of power in a single tank to get through an average hunt. Refilling a spent tank can be done quickly with the aid of a pre-filled scuba tank and adaptor kit or, using a bit more manpower, a PCP hand pump.
