Hatsan Gladius 5.5mm — Bullpup PCP Air Rifle
The Hatsan Gladius is a versatile bullpup PCP airgun built for everything from relaxed backyard plinking to serious varmint control. Its weather‑resistant, ambidextrous polymer stock with an elevation‑adjustable comb and adjustable buttpad gives a comfortable, repeatable cheek weld shoot after shoot. The side‑lever action and built‑in storage for three spare rotary magazines keep follow‑ups fast and field‑ready.
What makes the Gladius stand out is the adjustable power knob — twist it down for quiet, high‑count backyard shooting or turn it up for maximum muzzle energy on small game. Combined with Hatsan’s QuietEnergy integrated moderator the Gladius runs noticeably quieter than comparable PCPs, and the automatic safety on cocking (with optional manual application) adds an extra layer of peace of mind. Practical, powerful and user‑friendly, it’s a solid all‑rounder for both new and experienced shooters.
