Pistol or Rifle? Why Not an Airgun That’s Both: JET2 QER
Users now have a game-changing solution for selecting between an underpowered pistol and an overly burdensome rifle. Hatsan’s latest creation addresses the limitations of conventional options, providing a superior alternative for enthusiasts seeking optimal performance in their air gun experience.
JET2 QER is a modular air rifle that can be converted from a pistol to a rifle and back. With a range of available calibers (.177 cal, .22 cal, or .25 cal), this air gun is suitable for various uses, including target shooting, hunting, and training. With an overall barrel length of 11.8 inches, velocities with lead projectiles don’t suffer and match the overall barrel length. Having a rotary magazine makes follow-up shots reliable and speedy.
Powering this beast are two 40cc tanks, which can be filled to 250 BAR. As a rifle, the small platform makes a compact tool, and as a pistol, the JET 2 QER becomes a powerful, versatile, and lightweight option. In both configurations, the specifications remain the same.
The stock is simple to attach and fully adjustable with an integrated cheek riser. Flip-down rear sights are in two positions: one for a rifle setup and one for a pistol setup. Both utilize the same front post. However, for those who wish to add powered optics, the top of the barrel has an integrated Picatinny rail running most of the length both in front of and after the rotary magazine. In addition, there is an additional Picatinny rail on the rear and sides, just forward of the trigger. It’s a perfect place to keep additional accessories within reach.
JET2 QER offers the best of both worlds, making it an option for those needing versatility without compromise. Its weight is of little concern, at only 3.2 lbs as a pistol and 4.2 lbs as a rifle. Quick-change magazines are available in all calibers, allowing for the perfect number of shots at optimal velocities.
