Hatsan Blitz 777 PCP, Semi/Full Auto, 4.5 mm

The Hatsan Blitz 777 is a PCP air rifle in 4.5 mm (.177) with a selector for both semi-automatic and full-automatic fire. It delivers up to 350 m/s, and the detachable 24-shot magazine lets you shoot long strings without reloading. With a 585 mm (23") barrel, 1150 mm overall length and approx. 4 kg, it is built as a full-size rifle with an adjustable telescopic stock, so the length can be adapted to the shooter.

The air comes from a 580 cc carbon fibre cylinder that is filled to 250 bar and, according to Guntex, gives up to 500 shots per fill. Carbon fibre keeps the weight down compared with a steel cylinder of the same volume, and the Blitz system uses the compressed air itself to cycle the action – there are no batteries or electronics to maintain. A digital pressure gauge shows the pressure precisely, so you always know how much air is left.

Hatsan Blitz 777 – key features

The most important features:

• Semi and full auto: A selector switches between single shots and automatic fire. The action is driven by the compressed air itself, not by batteries – this sets the Blitz apart from most other PCP rifles, which only fire semi-automatic or manually.
• 580 cc carbon fibre cylinder, 250 bar: According to Guntex, the large cylinder gives up to 500 shots per fill, which is necessary when full auto empties a magazine in a few seconds.
• Digital pressure gauge: Shows the pressure digitally instead of on a small analogue dial, making it easier to read exactly when it is time to refill.
• Adjustable telescopic stock and cheek pad: The length of pull can be adjusted, and the supplied cheek pad gives a stable cheek weld behind the scope.
• Rifled 585 mm barrel and integrated optics rail: The long rifled barrel gives consistent accuracy, and the integrated rail makes it easy to mount a riflescope or red dot sight.

Maintenance and safety

• Fill pressure: Never fill above 250 bar, and only use dry, filtered air from a high-pressure pump with moisture filter or a scuba/PCP tank. Moisture in the system causes corrosion and leaking seals.
• Keep an eye on the gauge: The automatic action needs sufficient pressure to work correctly – refill in good time rather than shooting the system empty.
• Magazines and barrel: Keep the magazines free of dirt and lead residue, and clean the barrel with a pull-through and felt pellets as needed – especially when you change pellet type.
• Safe handling: Always treat the rifle as loaded, put the selector on safe when you are not shooting, and only use a pellet trap the pellets cannot penetrate. Store the rifle de-gassed and out of reach of unauthorised persons.
