Months after the Turkish-based Hatsan company showcased it at the many trade shows of the civilian gun industry this year – from SHOT Show to NASGW Expo, from IWA OutdoorClassics to Turkey's own Prohunt Istanbul – the new Hatsan Velox pre-charged pneumatic air pistol is finally in production and available on several commercial markets around the globe.

 

Crafted with precision and designed to exceed the expectations of shooters of all levels, the Hatsan Velox is available in three calibers – 4,5mm / .177, 5,5mm / .22 and 6,35mm / .25 – and offers extremely high levels of energy and muzzle velocity: up to 203 meters per second (670 fps) and 11,7 Joule (8.6 ft.lbs) for .177; 188 m/s (620 fps) and 17 Joule (12.6 ft.lbs) for .22; and 175 m/s (580 fps) and 20 Joule (15 ft.lbs) for .22.

 

The power level makes the Hatsan Velox a regulated airgun in some jurisdictions; in certain Countries, it will only be available to firearm license holders and buyers may be required to register it.
