We already had the chance to see Black Bunker at the IWA2023 trade show, where they first introduced their revolutionary break barrel air rifle with a folding mechanism.
But that’s definitely not all the BM8 model has to offer – it was specifically created for survival purposes in a harsh environment. It starts with the use of the classic break barrel loading system, just like we know from the old Slavia rifles. Instead of a traditional spring, however, it features an advanced gas RAM piston, which guarantees high power while reducing vibration and recoil when firing.

The air rifle therefore does not require any additional accessories such as expensive PCP compressors or a stock of disposable CO2 cartridges. Likewise, the manufacturer avoided using a magazine system, such as those found on modern Gamo air rifles, in order to achieve maximum reliability. Last but not least, the air rifle is almost entirely covered with a durable polymer, again with a view to easy maintenance and better protection of key components. The focus on survival use is clearly evident.

As standard, the rifle is equipped with fixed sights mounted on the barrel. For mounting a scope there is a standard 22mm Weaver / Picatinny rail, and if you want to upgrade the air rifle with a laser, flashlight or bipod, there are two additional removable rails located on the sides of the forearm.

The BM8 model consists of 3 moving parts – the classic break barrel, the main block and the folding stock. After loosening one rotary safety near the barrel and the second push-button safety above the stock, both parts are released and can then be folded into a triangular shape. The rail that originally serves to compress the piston when breaking the barrel now functions as a lock in the folded position, where it engages in a slot hidden in the stock.

The package also includes a practical waterproof case for small accessories or ammunition, which fits perfectly into the folded air rifle, as well as a muzzle and chamber cap protecting the muzzle and breech from dirt.
This version is additionally equipped with a 1/2UNF thread at the muzzle for mounting a sound moderator. Please note that due to the gas piston powerplant, a mounted sound moderator has no sound-reducing effect. On this type of air rifle, moderators serve purely as decorative accessories, since the noise generated by the spring or piston when firing is transmitted through the main tube.
We always appreciate when airgun manufacturers try to come up with something new, original and innovative. And the BM8 air rifle is exactly such a case. The folding mechanism is cleverly engineered, nothing rattles or wobbles, and the air rifle as a whole gives a robust impression. In short, it is a fully-fledged (and powerful) break barrel with a few extra upgrades.
