Hatsan Jet 2 — Dual Cylinder PCP Air Pistol / Carbine

Hatsan Jet 2 Review — Convertible PCP Power

The Hatsan Jet 2 is a pre-charged pneumatic air pistol that converts into a compact carbine using the included detachable buttstock . The Jet 2 designation means dual air cylinders — two 40cc tubes provide a total 80cc of air capacity, significantly increasing shot count over the original Jet . Available in .177, .22, and .25 calibre, the side lever action feeds from rotary magazines — 8 shots in .177, 7 in .22, and 6 in .25 . The maximum fill pressure is 250 bar / 3625 PSI, delivering up to 42 shots per fill in .22 calibre at optimal velocity . Velocity reaches 700 fps with lead pellets in .22 calibre, producing 15.6 foot-pounds of muzzle energy .

Hatsan Jet 2 UK — Features and Specifications

The Hatsan Jet 2 UK market receives this PCP in sub-12 ft/lb configuration for certificate-free ownership. Key features include a shrouded barrel with a 1/2 inch UNF threaded muzzle for silencer attachment, three adjustable flip-up fibre optic sights, and a full-length 11mm dovetail rail for scope mounting . Two Picatinny accessory rails are mounted on the sides of the receiver for lights or lasers . The detachable buttstock is adjustable for length of pull and features an elevation-adjustable cheek piece . The rifle weighs 2.4 lbs without the stock and 3.4 lbs with it attached . The ergonomic synthetic grip features finger grip moulds and checkering for positive control in wet conditions .

Hatsan Jet 2 Power and Performance

In expert testing, the Jet 2 has demonstrated genuine accuracy potential once set up correctly. Professional reviewer Tom Gaylord (B.B. Pelletier) of Pyramyd AIR achieved a 0.211-inch group at 10 metres using Air Arms 8.44-grain domed pellets — exceptional accuracy for a pistol/carbine platform . However, the same testing revealed significant issues with the factory open sights, described as much too large for precision work with no provision for windage adjustment . The same reviewer later discovered that accuracy was severely compromised by an aftermarket silencer causing pellet clipping; with the silencer removed, groups improved dramatically at 21 yards . This suggests the Jet 2 is highly sensitive to moderator alignment, and owners may need to test different silencers or shoot without one.

Hatsan Jet 2 Problems — Honest Owner Feedback

The Hatsan Jet 2 has received extensive critical feedback from owners, with multiple common issues reported. One owner reported that the barrel crown was uneven and had burrs from the factory, causing pellets to tumble and produce flyers; recrowning the barrel resolved the issue . Another owner found that the two Picatinny rails on the breech did not line up, with the rear rail being about 1/16 inch lower than the front, requiring drastic shimming to zero a scope . The barrel alignment inside the shroud is frequently off-centre, causing pellet clipping with any moderator — owners have reported needing to sand the shroud and shim the barrel to achieve straight alignment . Poppet valve failure is also a known problem, with some owners reporting the gun clicks but releases no air despite being fully filled . One owner summarised: You should only buy a Hatsan if you own a lathe — they both needed massive improvements to work ok but not great .

Hatsan Jet 2 Power and Shot Strings

One of the most significant criticisms of the Jet 2 concerns its unregulated shot string. Owners have reported extremely inconsistent velocities across a fill, with one describing the shot string as atrocious . As an unregulated PCP, the Jet 2’s velocity drops progressively as the air pressure decreases, making accurate shooting beyond 20 yards challenging unless you carefully monitor shot count . Owners note that the Jet 2 is a 20-yard gun at most — anything beyond that and accuracy falls off drastically . The Umarex Notos is frequently cited by owners as a far better regulated alternative at a similar price point, offering consistent velocities shot after shot . Some owners have improved performance by polishing the barrel, recrowning the muzzle, and fitting heavier valve springs, but these modifications require mechanical skill .
