Full Auto Airgun Review: Hatsan Blitz .30Cal

Powerful air rifles, and fully-automatic air guns existed in two different worlds until the release of the Hatsan Blitz.
 
Generating more than 50 ft-lbs of energy, the select-fire Blitz is a Pre-Charged Pneumatic (PCP) .30-caliber air rifle designed for serious use.  In testing, the futuristic-looking Blitz  propelled 44.75-grain pellet at an average velocity of 667fps. This may seem low to firearm enthusiasts, but is incredible given the air rifle’s automatic capabilities.
 
Furthermore, the Blitz lives up to its lightning name, firing at a cyclic rate of  1,075 rounds per minute. Meaning, it empties its 16-round rotary magazine in 0.89 seconds. Thankfully, the PCP tank on the Blitz has enough pressure for 100 rounds, so shooters can empty six of these rotary magazines before needing to recharge the tank.

Full Auto Affordable

While the Blitz’s most notable feature is its full-auto capability, it’s still a solid precision air rifle. Users can toggle between firing modes with the flick of a switch located above the pistol grip.

The gas-operated cycling mechanism does not rely on battery power and is capable of firing at a high rate of speed. It includes two 16-round spring rotary magazines and a loading key which has its own unique storage space on the stock.

The Blitz comes equipped with a 1-piece carry handle with integrated adjustable open sights. However, these sights can be removed to make way for either illuminated or magnified optics.

Shooters on a budget will be happy to hear that Hatsan’s standard combination optics rail comes standard on the Blitz. The integral mount allows for the use of either 11mm dovetail, or 22mm Weaver mounts. For added flexibility and modularity, it also features three Picatinny accessory rails surrounding the air cylinder itself.  Also, the select-fire Blitz features a built-in color-coded manometer that allows shooters to gauge the remaining pressure in the tank at a quick glance.
