Just a month out from SHOT Show 2016, HatsanUSA has announced a new addition to its popular airgun line: the bullpup-inspired Gladius.

HatsanUSA has announced the release of its new Hatsan Barrage, a semi-automatic air rifle that's due to be available in both .117 and .22 calibers.

Culling Puerto Rico’s invasive iguana population is perhaps the most fun you can have with an air rifle.

For 2020, Escort is introducing its new Slugger series of pump-action shotguns, available in two styles.

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.

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.

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 SHOT Show 2017 announcements are pouring out in droves, from all corners. An intriguing announcement in the airgun world comes from HatsanUSA, which is launching its first-ever semi-automatic air rifle in Las Vegas.

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.
