I'll have a USA-based review of the Krait X on my YT channel soon. There is a teaser up on my channel already with a lot of close up shots, if you're interested. Sub and stay tuned.
Truth be told - I had a review all done with 2 days into filming and maybe 15 hours into editing + hundreds of .22 slugs used - but I just couldn't get this gun to be consistent. Before publishing that review I decided to be nice and reach out to Airmaks because there was obviously a problem with the reg. It would get severe creep (30+ bar) when the bottle was filled up all the way. Not only that but the velocity would go from 1000fps down to like 900 before I even went under the reg pressure. Almost like an unregulated gun. The reg was only somewhat working.
Anyway, the folks at Airmaks acknowledged the issue stating that they had already been sending out replacement regs. So I am getting one, and then I will re-do my entire review of this thing. I want to like this gun so much. It's durable as hell and the build quality is solid. But build quality means nothing if it can't hold a steady velocity. It's a precision gun and it needs to shoot like one, and to do that you obviously need a properly working regulator for consistent velocities..
I have no relationship to Airmaks, I have 0 sponsors, and that is why you will always get the truth from me.
However - I will say that Airmaks was very cool to me when they replied and took ownership of the issue, which is why I am going to be a fair person and re-do the whole review (hopefully with better results). Sometimes things happen in manufacturing, that's just a fact. Sometimes there are bugs with a new product. What matters more than the bugs are whether or not the manufacturer is going to take ownership of problems with their products - and in this case it looks like they are.
Stay tuned to my channel for more on this, folks.
**Update: Airmaks has shipped the reg and I will have it on Monday 10/17 (per tracking #). That is pretty fast!
