Would be nice if the arrow plugs were sold separately at a reasonable price as well. With this design you can pretty much use whatever arrows you want, you just need to 3D print or make your own plugs for the arrows. The FX Gatling seems to be made so you put the arrows into the barrel but it's a purpose built airgun designed for arrows only afaik. With the airbows I own you thread the arrow onto of the barrel which means the law doesn't apply. In Finnish airgun law it says that a airgun with an inner diameter above 6.35mm (.25) and is designed and intended to shoot metal projectiles are an "effective airgun" (these require a license which I cannot get). I know there are several airguns you can shoot arrows with but all of them are also designed to shoot pellets/slugs which causes the problem. There is no airbow on the market that is designed for arrows to go into the barrel and this causes problems with Finnish gunlaws. Been thinking about having custom barrels made that regular bow/xbow arrows fit on that you can then install on the airbows. I'm currently trying to find arrows that fit the Saber, Javelin and Airbow. You need to remember that a lot of the time the arrow is damaged or broken when shot. The Hatsan Harpoon on the other hand used regular arrows you could buy for €3-5 each compared to the above that cost between €20-30 each. The thing I hate the most about airbows are their own proprietary arrows that are VERY expensive. I was looking that the AirJavelin Pro but you can buy a CO2 to HPA converter for it so been considering that. You need to cock it and push over a regulator to switch between the barrels. I was looking at the AirSaber Elite X2 but was disappointed when I saw it wasn't semi auto. I own the AirSaber, AirJavelin and Benjamin Airbow. I also feel that the accuracy would be inconsistent as you have 8 barrels with no guardrail under them so you'd be resting the barrels in your hand, which makes cycling weird, or on a surface which has the same problem. I'm currently looking for more info on the FX Gatling but I feel it's more of a gimmick than practical. I'm interested in buying one but I need more posts before I can put up a request in the buy/sell section of the forum so I figured I'd ask some questions. I have no idea why it was discontinued but I'm guessing some sort of manufacturing problem because it was only on the market for like a year or so afaik.ĭoes anyone own one? If you do do you also own other airbows? How does it compare to those? Is it too powerful for practical application? On this forum I've read about problems with it launching arrows too fast trough arrow stops. I never saw it for sale in the EU, so I assume it was mostly a US product? I've only seen a couple of posts on this forum about it so I assume not many people own it. Are they bringing a better product to market to replace it with Did the Harpoon have a fatal flaw that was the cause of. Guess again Out of stock, and discontinued. So after binge watching tons of YouTube content, I settled my mind on buying the Hatsan Harpoon. The Hatsan Harpoon was discontinued before I had the chance to buy one. But recently Ive taken a keen interest in the airbow idea.
