Hatsan Blitz BP PCP, Bullpup, Semi/Full Auto, 4.5 mm

The Hatsan Blitz BP is the bullpup version of the Blitz: a PCP air rifle with semi and full-automatic fire, where the action has been moved behind the trigger. The result is a rifle with the same 585 mm barrel as the full-size Blitz, but an overall length of only 905 mm – 245 mm shorter. In 4.5 mm it delivers 350 m/s and up to 34.7 J, and the magazine holds 24 pellets.

The air is held in a 580 cc carbon fibre cylinder under the fore-end plus an extra internal volume of 30 cc, filled to 250 bar. Hatsan quotes 140 shots at optimum velocity in 4.5 mm. The weight is approx. 4000 g, and because the weight of a bullpup sits close to the shoulder, the rifle feels lighter and better balanced in the shoulder than a traditional rifle with the same barrel length. If you need more shots between fills, the Mevzi series is built on the same principle with two, three or four cylinders.

Hatsan Blitz BP – key features

The Blitz BP gives you the Blitz action in the most compact format:

• Bullpup layout: The action sits behind the trigger, so the full barrel length is used without extra overall length. 905 mm with a 585 mm barrel is considerably shorter than a traditional rifle with the same barrel.
• Semi and full auto: The selector switches between single shots and automatic fire. The action cycles on the compressed air itself – without batteries or electronics.
• 24-shot magazine – 3 included: In 4.5 mm the rotary magazine holds 24 pellets, and three magazines are included in the box.
• Adjustable ergonomics: The cheek piece is height-adjustable (EasyAdjust), the butt pad can be adjusted for height and angle, and the pistol grip can be moved so the distance to the trigger changes by 15 mm – useful for both small and large hands.
• 11 mm and 22 mm mounts: The receiver is Picatinny-milled and takes both 11 mm and 22 mm mounts. A Picatinny rail under the fore-end gives room for a bipod or grip.

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: Hatsan specifies that there must be at least 100 bar in the system for the semi and full-auto action 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: Store the rifle unloaded, with the magazine out and the safety on, in a locked cabinet. Pay extra attention to your backstop when firing full auto, as many pellets leave the barrel in a short time.
