PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Machine translated

Slim design, semi-automatic firing mode, extreme power. These are just some of the many advantages of the brand-new PCP air rifle from the renowned company Taipan Airguns.

As is clear at first glance, this bullpup is not simply another addition to the Veteran family. It is a completely new air rifle and does not share a single component with previous models. That is precisely why its designers gave it the short and fitting name Taipan SLASH.

Semi-Auto

The defining feature of the new Taipan is undoubtedly its semi-automatic firing mode. After many years of research, the designers managed to develop and patent a revolutionary valve with an exceptionally fast opening and closing action. The result is high power with minimal air consumption - approximately 7-9 cm3/J. Its unprecedented power in semi-automatic mode also allows the use of Slug ammunition.

PCP System

SLASH is particularly distinctive for the unusual positioning of its air cylinder in the buttstock area. The newer version is equipped with a larger 440 cc carbon-fibre cylinder, which offers a significantly greater air supply than the original 300cc version. Thanks to its minimal air consumption and maximum filling pressure of up to 300 bar, it delivers a high shot count per fill. The current cylinder pressure is displayed on an easy-to-read pressure gauge.

Warning: Due to the dimensions of the new 440cc cylinder, this version is NOT compatible with the Air-G-Tac Taipan SLASH pressure gauge adapter with filling pin.

Accuracy and Magazine

Taipan air rifles are renowned for their unsurpassed accuracy - and this one is no exception. This is primarily thanks to the barrel from the renowned Czech company CZUB, which has specialised in manufacturing firearms since 1936.

The Taipan SLASH offers the option of changing the bore size / calibre. This process requires several internal components to be replaced and therefore considerable experience with PCP systems. Always follow the manual or instructional video.

The air rifle's construction itself also contributes to its accuracy. Thanks to the rigid metal frame and minimal tolerances between individual components, any vibration and flexing during firing have been suppressed.

The final feature contributing to high accuracy is the new magazine - it is not spring-loaded, so there is no risk of deforming pellets or slugs during reloading. A major advantage over other semi-auto air rifles is that the magazine can be easily removed by sliding the lever above the grip. It also accommodates projectiles up to 13mm long.

Design

Other distinctive features of the new Taipan include its low-profile design, with an overall height of just 17 cm without a rifle scope fitted. The barrel is fully shrouded and features a highly effective integrated sound moderator at the muzzle. Fitting an external moderator requires an adapter, sold separately.

The fore-end features several rows of M-LOK slots for mounting accessories, while a standard Picatinny rail with a 20 MOA cant, makes it easier to adjust the scope for long-range shooting. In keeping with current trends, it also features a standardised AR-15-style grip, allowing easy replacement.

For comfortable shooting even in low temperatures, the SLASH is fitted with an ergonomically shaped polymer cheekpiece with a rubberised finish and a height-adjustable buttpad.

The air rifle features two types of safety - a conventional manual safety positioned in front of the trigger, and a second, automatic safety that prevents firing when the magazine is removed.

Taipan Slash Text 5

Note 1: The package includes 2 magazines. One is intended for conventional pellets (the magazine with a hole in its rear face), and the other is intended for slug ammunition (without a hole). They differ in chamber diameter. Always use the appropriate magazine. Caution: to ensure correct operation, each projectile must be carefully pushed past the plastic ball inside the magazine.

Note 2: Every semi-automatic PCP air rifle currently available on the market remains continuously fully cocked (loaded), which can be dangerous when handling the rifle and may also cause internal components to wear more quickly. The charging lever on the right-hand side is used both for initially loading (cocking) the air rifle and for subsequently unloading (decocking) it. Simply pull the lever back and hold it firmly, pull the trigger and carefully return the lever to its original position. This unloads the rifle.

Note 3: We strongly advise against making any changes to the air rifle's settings, particularly those of the trigger mechanism and pressure regulator. Both systems are factory-set to ensure correct operation in semi-automatic mode. Improper adjustment of either the trigger or the regulator may cause the air rifle to jam.

Note 4: The air rifle is factory-set to a muzzle energy that delivers the best accuracy and optimum air consumption with the test ammunition used (listed in the specifications table). The values in the table below can be achieved simply by adjusting the pressure regulator. To increase / decrease the available range, a Power Kit can be purchased separately. It consists of 4 components that must be replaced inside the air rifle. The maximum recommended regulator pressure is 170 bar. To achieve a higher pressure, up to 220 bar, an upgrade regulator can be purchased.

I have no problem to spend a justified price for a good product, but expect from the seller that complete information is presented before a product is released. Now I have to buy another addon just to shoot 10 bars higher (180bars) and am not even sure that the manufacturer/seller might tell you in a few months that you need to purchase another pricey part to reach initial stated performance.

  • Overall build quality and performance.
  • Especially positively I want to highlight the accuracy using heavy “slugs”.
  • There is no plug for the filling port, which means its exposed to moisture and dust all the time.
  • The magazines get small scratches/dents from the metal balls holding it in place. I use mainly the slug magazine and it looks after +/- 200 shots already quite worn out. Overall quality of the magazines are otherwise solid. I experienced no cycling issues, so far.
  • The pressure gauges are not really exact, and deviating at least 10 bars from actual pressure. I had the same experience on FX airguns, and cannot understand why the big manufacturers put low quality gauges on their otherwise high quality airguns. 10 bars might not be an issue for bottle pressure, but when adjusting the regulator, especially at the edge of the regulator limit I want precise readings.
  • Biggest issue I have with the Taipan Slash is not the airgun itself, its the lack of information given in advance what parts you need to reach the promoted power levels. I purchased the power kit together with the airgun (Slash standard version) totaling in cost of almost 2600€. One month later Balistas adds to the product description that you need a high power regulator to set your rifle over 170 bar. “Only” another 190 bucks (with shipping) to get the power promoted. No info whatsoever in September that you also need another regulator to use the full potential of the gun. Two pages of promotional text in the user manual but nothing crucial like minimum and maximum pressure limits of the regulator? Why is the hp regulator not included from the beginning, given that the difference is only 40 bars higher achievable pressure?

  • Precision, semi auto, light weight
  • The cheekpiece - a piece of plastic that is not fixed and falls down, it really needed to be solved better

The cheek rest on the new pieces is already screwed on and it even has a taipan download available on the website, which is great. The magazines only get the paint scratched on the side, but it has no impact on the function at all, just as Maik says. Yes, at first the information regarding the power increase was a bit confusing, but now the description of the power kit and the weapons is perfect.

  • Really robust design
  • precise and extremely powerful shooting from the SLUG
  • low weapon weight
  • The uniqueness of the semi-auto design
  • the possibility of unloading the weapon which other semi-autos do not have and it is a great safety feature just like 2 safeties
