The cheek rest on the new pieces is already screwed on and it even has a taipan download available on the website, which is great. The magazines only get the paint scratched on the side, but it has no impact on the function at all, just as Maik says. Yes, at first the information regarding the power increase was a bit confusing, but now the description of the power kit and the weapons is perfect.

  • Really robust design
  • precise and extremely powerful shooting from the SLUG
  • low weapon weight
  • The uniqueness of the semi-auto design
  • the possibility of unloading the weapon which other semi-autos do not have and it is a great safety feature just like 2 safeties

I have no problem to spend a justified price for a good product, but expect from the seller that complete information is presented before a product is released. Now I have to buy another addon just to shoot 10 bars higher (180bars) and am not even sure that the manufacturer/seller might tell you in a few months that you need to purchase another pricey part to reach initial stated performance.

  • Overall build quality and performance.
  • Especially positively I want to highlight the accuracy using heavy “slugs”.
  • There is no plug for the filling port, which means its exposed to moisture and dust all the time.
  • The magazines get small scratches/dents from the metal balls holding it in place. I use mainly the slug magazine and it looks after +/- 200 shots already quite worn out. Overall quality of the magazines are otherwise solid. I experienced no cycling issues, so far.
  • The pressure gauges are not really exact, and deviating at least 10 bars from actual pressure. I had the same experience on FX airguns, and cannot understand why the big manufacturers put low quality gauges on their otherwise high quality airguns. 10 bars might not be an issue for bottle pressure, but when adjusting the regulator, especially at the edge of the regulator limit I want precise readings.
  • Biggest issue I have with the Taipan Slash is not the airgun itself, its the lack of information given in advance what parts you need to reach the promoted power levels. I purchased the power kit together with the airgun (Slash standard version) totaling in cost of almost 2600€. One month later Balistas adds to the product description that you need a high power regulator to set your rifle over 170 bar. “Only” another 190 bucks (with shipping) to get the power promoted. No info whatsoever in September that you also need another regulator to use the full potential of the gun. Two pages of promotional text in the user manual but nothing crucial like minimum and maximum pressure limits of the regulator? Why is the hp regulator not included from the beginning, given that the difference is only 40 bars higher achievable pressure?

  • Precision, semi auto, light weight
  • The cheekpiece - a piece of plastic that is not fixed and falls down, it really needed to be solved better
