Technical Specifications at a Glance

Technological Highlights & Features

• Ergonomic Tactical Stock: The all-weather synthetic stock in a skeleton design features a prominent pistol grip and a Monte Carlo cheek piece for an optimal cheek weld. A rubber butt pad effectively dampens felt recoil.

• Integrated Sound Moderator / Barrel Sleeve: The rifled steel barrel is encased in a synthetic shroud that acts as an integrated sound moderator at the muzzle and provides better leverage for easier cocking.

• TruGlo® Fiber Optic Sights: Micro-adjustable rear sight (green) and a protected front sight (red) allow for rapid target acquisition, even in low-light conditions.

• Dual Mounting Rail: Allows flexible installation of scopes or red dot sights on both 11 mm and 22 mm rails.

• Safety System: Automatic cocking safety (easily accessible via thumb) and an Anti-Bear-Trap mechanism to prevent accidental barrel snap-back during loading.

• Adjustable Trigger: Trigger pull and travel can be individually adjusted.

Applications & Use Cases

• Long-Range & Plinking: Thanks to the high output of 26 Joules, the FP version is ideal for shooting at distances of 30 to 50 meters on knock-down targets, cans, and paper targets.

• Pest Control: In countries where airgun hunting is legally permitted, this power level is used for small game due to its high muzzle velocity (v0​).

• Beginners & Advanced Shooters: Perfect for shooters looking for a high-performance, low-maintenance, and weather-resistant recreational rifle with modern tactical aesthetics.

Field Performance & Practical Handling

The Hatsan AirTact FP positions itself as an uncompromising recreational and high-performance air rifle for shooters looking for maximum energy at an outstanding price-to-performance ratio.

• Shooting Dynamics & Handling:

  Due to its low total weight of approx. 2.75 kg and the ergonomic thumbhole stock, the rifle is extremely agile when brought to shoulder. The polymer stock is resistant to adverse weather conditions, making it a rugged companion for outdoor use.

• Field Performance (26 Joules):

  In its unrestricted full-power specification, the spring-piston powerplant develops high muzzle energy. This results in a flat pellet trajectory, making shots effective at distances between 30 and 50 meters. Due to the pronounced recoil of the 26-Joule spring, using the Artillery Hold (a loose, unconstrained grip) is recommended to unlock the rifle's full accuracy potential.

• Mounting & Optics:

  The combination of bright TruGlo® fiber optic open sights for quick target acquisition and the hybrid optic rail offers great versatility. When mounting a rifle scope, high recoil-resistant optics and heavy-duty mounts are strongly advised due to the powerful spring action.
