N/A Mordax vs Huben GK1

[shoot4fun2]

Is the Mordax worth the extra investment?
I’m considering purchasing one of these, and both seem to perform well, each with its own advantages and drawbacks.

What stands out to me about the Mordax is the full-auto capability and the removable magazine, which are pretty appealing features. On the other hand, the Huben’s more affordable price tag is definitely a factor to consider.


From what I’ve gathered, both can handle slugs (correct me if I am wrong), so performance in that regard seems comparable. However, I’ve heard that not just any air compressor can handle the pressure needed to fully charge the Huben’s cylinder, which could be a downside if you don't already have a high-pressure compressor.

Also, I would like to know:
1-if optics needed if you are just going for 30 yard.
2- what could be the reason of the unremovable magazine for GK1?
3- If they both take slugs is it more beneficial to get the .22 instead of .25?

What I’m uncertain about is the long-term durability of either brand. If you have any experience or insights on this, I’d love to hear why you might prefer one over the other.

Purpose: Pest control
Caliber: .22 or .25

@freetacos Now you're discussing volume. Before you stated that the GK1 reservoir is narrow. I disagreed stating that it is not narrow, but short. A comparison becomes relevant to validate your statement. Is what I am saying splitting hairs? Yes, but it is also an accurate statement considering it is hard to know what is connecting the dots between what you have typed and what has not been stated completing the thought or statement making it logical or factual.

What does the number of strokes on a pump have to do with the diameter of the reservoir? The total volume of the reservoir is more relevant as opposed to the objective view of an individual on how wide or narrow the reservoir looks to them.

Internet people crack me up.

Thank you. I feel like a few of the guys commenting on it don't actually own one and/or didn't realize each stage is fully adjustable. Bah.

I've owned several. You can only adjust it so well and it is not great. It's good for a semi though.

I agree - that context is important and would note that the Mordax/Sidewinder trigger is not nearly as nice. In fact, having shot a mag from a Mordax recently, I’d say that the trigger is a dealbreaker for pistol use. It’s creepy and very heavy in comparison to the GK1. If anyone desires a carbine that is a tad shorter than a sidewinder mini but struggles in full auto mode due to a tiny plenum that lacks the ability to refresh fast enough, then the Mordax is perfect.

Thank you all for your insight.

Yea you’re not gonna get a precise trigger out of the GK1. The sear in the GK1 is holding back the force of the valve pressure (through the striker). In airguns with precise triggers the sear is only holding back the force of the hammer spring. Much easier to have a crisp trigger with the sear not having so much force on it.

I'm not sure what to say but the GK1 is my first PCP pistol. I only have experience with PB handguns. I never adjusted mine. I'm not sure if it could be adjusted to a "crisp" break maybe because I've never adjusted it. Out of the box, the trigger pull on mine averaged at 14.2 ounces. I just called it good and left it as is. Good enough for me.
