AEAC Vlog video - New Spark mini-compressor & Flash Pup .22!!

[AEAC]

Oh,my bad.ettiquett in poor health,,,hrhmmm..Hi Steve, I enjoy your reviews and appreciate your commitment and effort in providing clear and informative,usefull information. THX ! ...I saw this AEAC video,(well done) like a week after I had ordered 1, 22cal. Just received it yesterday.My 1st impressions ? Keep in mind this is my 1st bull-pup. The forestock does not set naturally in my hand and cheek-weld is very low. Compromise,,get use to it and try high scope ring. I think I'll apply a little Formsby Tung Oil too.

Haha, thanks but no need friend. I'm just a guy who likes airguns & sharing. You succeeded in making me blush however ☺

I got a notice about the review video, but YouTube has it as being removed by the owner. I do like Steve's reviews, just not sure what is going on with YouTube and a lot of airgun vids.

That's on me buddy. We discovered something I left out (the 100 yard group measurement) so I had to take it down to repair. It's back up now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

My .22 after a little sanding and a few coats of flat black.

Holy crap that looks good!! Hatsan would be nuts not to take the hint, lol.

Also is the flash QE the same as the pup with a different stock?

Yes, the engine and guts are identical between the Flash Pup and Carbine. Steve

1.26 in group @ 100 yards, that's darn good.

I wonder if that is a testament to the gun, or to the JSB pellets?

Here's the cool thing - it was no fluke. This gun does it 10/10 times so the winner is gonna get a total gem of a gun. Below is some fun I had afterward and my 100 yard dope/holdover target with it.

Steve, don't know whether you read all the comments, but there's one aspect of this review I particularly liked and perhaps you could incorporate more of that in future videos. You commented on how the bullpup is really meant for offhand shooting and I think if you showed more offhand shooting and how the bullpup shines in that department, that would have been very entertaining. Thanks for the reviews.

Thanks for the suggestion. I like it when you guys help me know what you want.

I struggled with this in the beginning and now I've made peace with it. I want for these vids to be about the capabilities of the product, not me. That's why I go through such great lengths to cull for its preferred pellets, learn the barrel's preferred state of cleanliness, AND learn how to isolate it on the bags to get the most out of it. Sure, I could add some offhand but in the end it doesn't really add value for the common viewer because at that point we've introduced human error into the equation... and that's not fair to the manufacturer.

Hey do I really have to watch a Fortitude video to win this contest or is that a misprint?

Ooops typo, just fixed it. Sorry & Thanks for pointing that out.

I have been waiting all year for the review of this gun and Diana's Skyhawk. anyone know when the Skyhawk will be available?

which gun would be best for someone new to air-guns? The Benjamin fortitude or the Hatsan flash pup?

 

[reverend]

looks like another good one from hatsan.

 

[Renelto]

I like the bolt action versus the side lever as I am left-handed with it being on the right side it is easier for me to insert another shot would like to own one of those seems to be very accurate at a hundred yards I am impressed

Im glad to see steve enjoying the hatsan flashpup it looks like a great bullpup for the money keep up the good work steve

I was nearly ready to buy one of the flash pups, but I remember there was an issue getting parts for Hatsan guns.

Not only is it impossible for me to buy parts from Hatsan, but the air gun range I go to that has a professional service center, they can't buy parts from Hatsan either. I don't think mailing an 8 lb gun back and forth to Hatsan is something I want to do every time I need an o-ring or a small part..

Eddie,

For many years, HatsanUSA has offered parts for sale to consumers. This includes basic o-ring kits, breech and plunger seals offered through our website – HatsanUSA.com. Also, you can order many other service parts by submitting a request through our Customer service Form . Please use this hyperlink or find the Customer Service Form within the “Contact Us” section at HatsanUSA.com.

Due to insurance liability concerns, we must be selective when selling parts to airsmiths and/or service centers. Any service center or airsmith can contact us by email at [email protected]. We will be happy to provide our Commercial General Liability requirements for purchasing parts for commercial use.

Well the flash qe is more affordable i may consider that first.

I have the flashpup in .25 was very surprised at accuracy has the power to take out ground hogs, mostley use it on muskrats. Clocking rats at 40 plus yards. Thanks guys nice sight

Nice looking rifle, I picked up a Flash QE in .22 Cal. Midway will ship to Illinois. If they come out with it in a synthetic stock I will get one, wouldn't want scratch or dent that beautiful stock. Add Huma regulator and you have it made.

Steve, did you test the H&N Terminator with this gun? If so, good, bad, indifferent? Apologies if it's in one of your photos, eyes aren't quite what they used to be.

 

[Tnfoutdoors]

I just got the Flash QE in .25 man is it fun! Super quiet and accurate, so far i've only shot 30yrds can't wait to extend that range. My trigger was great right out of the box didn't feel the need to adjust it. Hoping to win this package because I really wanted the pup but couldn't swing it.

No worries. Yes, I ran them through at 25. This barrel didn't like them much... maybe half inchish but yours may. Steve

Very informative review. The flash is now on my list of guns to buy!
