Epic Airguns

The first highlight we saw at the show was a new Czech PCP air rifle called Epic Vision. Although it clearly builds on the proven EPIC TWO model in terms of external design, the internal layout has been completely redesigned and the overall construction has undergone several significant changes.
A new valve, a new hammer spring preload system, smarter gauge placement, a redesigned magazine, a quick-connect filling adapter, reduced weight, the option to install different stock types, and tumbled aluminium instead of black anodising – all of this makes the Vision one of the best air rifles we have seen here.

Snowpeak

The Chinese company Snowpeak / SPA certainly did not sit idle either. For this season, it prepared a CO₂ pistol firing rubber projectiles, suitable for both self-defence and recreational or training shooting, as well as an updated version of its high-performance PCP air rifle called MAX2. This model will be available either with a carbon-fibre air cylinder or with two parallel aluminium cylinders.

Reximex

This Turkish manufacturer focused mainly on updating its proven models this year – and that is certainly not a bad thing. The very interesting lever-action PCP repeater Lieva is now also available in an attractive silver finish, the RP PCP pistol series has been expanded with a sport-oriented RPA Race variant as well as the RP11, which aims to resemble the iconic Colt 1911 pistol.
New additions also include the Morpho CO₂ pistol, and the Meta PCP air rifles have received carbon-fibre cylinders and weight-reducing design elements.

Chiappa LTL

A major surprise was the booth of the Less Than Lethal brand, owned by Chiappa Firearms. LTL focuses on the production of self-defence pistols. New products include the LTL Canik, developed in cooperation between the two brands and notable for its realistic design, as well as the ultra-compact Delta model, which only loosely resembles a traditional pistol.
The manufacturer also introduced accessories such as a speed loader for all RAM pistols, a barrel extension that significantly increases muzzle energy, a pepper spray mounted under the barrel, and a carbine conversion kit compatible with all LTL pistols.

Evanix

South Korean manufacturer Evanix is known for producing innovative airguns. Their new flagship model is the Evanix MP30, which differs from traditional PCP air rifles in almost every way – it more closely resembles a submachine gun / SMG. A large magazine, two interconnected air cylinders, a high-quality aluminium construction with a folding or telescopic stock, and above all a semi-automatic firing mode make it a perfect airgun for fun and dynamic backyard shooting.

IWA 2026

Still not enough? Don’t worry. While Shot Show is already behind us, we are still looking forward to the IWA trade show in Nuremberg, Germany, which focuses on hunting and sport target shooting. And that is exactly where the biggest new airgun releases will be on display. So stay tuned – this year’s IWA takes place from February 26 to May 1, and we will definitely be there!
