AEA Assassin .22 Semi-Auto cycling

I remember seeing a video where the AEA HP did not cycle if the moderator was not installed.

Does anybody know if the .22 Assassin has the same limitation?

I've been looking at the Assassin as a Leshiy 2 alternative for backpacking. I've also been looking at the Element, but think semi-auto is worth a couple extra lbs.

Hi,

This is Tom from AEA Precision Airguns Company.

You won't be involved in any cycling issues without a removable moderator.

HP Assassin .22 Cal or .25 Cal models will cycle smoothly without removable moderators.

Don't worry about that now.

Warmly welcome to AEA's Airgun World.

Thank you very much.
