Hatsan Striker Age, Hatsan 1000s Striker, Hatsan 125 TH – for lovers of classics, comfort and powerful weapons

The history, which bears the full name “Hatsan Arms Company,” goes back to the distant 1970s. The company was founded in the western Turkish city of Izmir as a family firm in 1976. But soon the company grew to the scale of the whole country, and then the world. It entered the international market only in 2000.

Now the company is exporting. About 95 percent of production is exported abroad. Approximately 90 countries are active buyers of Hatsan rifles.

They now occupy about 35,000 square meters of land and employ 650 workers. The enterprises use a little more than 500 machines for various purposes, including machines that measure the dimensions of rifles with computer accuracy. The design of the weapon has been modernized and can be combined with developing technologies.

The company has an ISO 9001 certificate, which fully confirms compliance with all necessary requirements. The company says it meets all 9001 requirements in this certificate. The annual turnover is about 300,000 units, which is quite good for a company that was conceived as a small family business.

The founders of Hatsan assure that their air rifles are the most unique in the world and the most popular in all of Turkey.

Air rifles from this company are used by law enforcement agencies in many countries around the world. The purpose of this weapon is different - from hunting and sport to defense. All parts of the rifle are patented, and the products are based on quality and safety, the company claims.

Nowadays, the Hatsan air rifle is an integral part of any legal weapons market. The Turkish Hatsan air rifle has made a name for itself and is undoubtedly at the peak of fashion in the production of weapons.

The official Hatsan website hosts a video presentation of this rifle.

Is it necessary to re-preserve a new rifle before using it?

Please tell me the bypass diameter for the Hatsan Striker EJ. I have it narrowed with a plug

The Hatsan Striker Edge airgun was a great non-birthday gift from friends. Now we always go to the dacha to shoot at banks and bathhouses at the same time. The pistol is well assembled, without any gaps. Shoots in bunches, misses very few. It requires constant care; after every shooting I lubricate it. The better care you take, the longer he will live, so I don't regret the time.

I recently received a HATSAN Striker Edge air rifle as a gift. My son decided that I needed a self-defense device in my home. Honestly, it won't be superfluous. At first glance, I thought it was a child's toy. It is thin, like jewelry, and looks unconvincing. But everything changes when you start shooting. The shot is strong and easily breaks through the glass. There is no luck in the shoulder at all, unlike a regular hunting toy. I'm happy, this is a very necessary thing.

I only use magnum weapons, so my brother decided to give me a hatsan attacker. He has something I love and my girlfriends at the range got jealous. Interestingly, changing ammo is easy and faster than my previous rifle. Over time I noticed that it had a weak spring that needed to be replaced. Looking at the scopes that fit here, that seems to be pretty much it.

The spring in it is weak, so I immediately changed it. It’s good that the kit included a reinforced coil spring with a cuff, so I didn’t have to look for it or buy it. The bunch is pretty good - up to 5 cm from a distance of almost 20 m. I recommend cleaning the barrel before shooting, but there is no need to rebuild the Hat Striker-Edge air rifle. I'm happy with the power, I don't plan to strengthen it.

Of the inexpensive rifles, I chose this one because I was satisfied with its weight, build quality and firing range of almost 300 meters. The plastic is thick, strong, the weight of the product is moderate, since it is distributed quite evenly along the barrel. The stock is comfortable, it doesn’t grind in your hands, and the accuracy is excellent. The quality of the spring is decent, the mechanism has been working adequately for almost a year. The front sight is adjustable, and the sight does not go astray during recoil.

I liked the way this rifle shoots, even outwardly it looks very attractive and I immediately want to try it out in practice. The stock is generally comfortable, although it is plastic. Its mechanism is not at all complicated, and I didn’t really want to bother with something complicated. Great for those who just love sport shooting a la type at home. Ideal for these purposes.

Personally, I immediately liked the appearance of this model. The rifle looks beautiful and elegant. But I don’t really like the fact that the stock here is plastic; wood is more practical. I often take it with me hunting, just to shoot cans when we’re relaxing, the power is good. Easily breaks both glass bottles and steel cans. Comfortable in weight and shape.

I bought it a long time ago, the rifle is ordinary in appearance, but so far I’m only pleased with the quality. The only downside is the plastic on the butt, it got worn out quickly. All mechanisms work perfectly, air pumps perfectly, shoots powerfully. I'm pleased with the convenience, it's easy to aim, you don't need to spend a lot of time fiddling with setting up the aiming bar. From a distance of 50 meters it easily penetrates any steel cans.

Hatsan Striker Edge was recommended by a friend. The factory gives a 3-month warranty on the spring from the date of purchase + it can be repaired, the part is not disposable. Both the integrity of the oil seal barrel and the piston cup are checked. In terms of atmospheres, it produces 160 bar. I was pleased with the purchase - both in terms of quality, equipment, and shot accuracy. Not demanding, does not require special care. If you decide to take a hatsan, take it – you can hit the target from 150 m

My son and his friends are keen on shooting and spent their free time at the shooting range. I gave him such a light, inexpensive rifle for his 16th birthday, and for the second year now he’s been shooting every weekend and throughout the holidays. It is light, with a comfortable rest and low recoil. Does not stun, firing range is long. The spring-piston mechanism is reliable, there were no breakdowns, the spring did not stretch. There are no difficulties in cleaning.

Good afternoon. Check this information with the store where you plan to make a purchase. You need to contact one of the stores listed on our website directly. To do this, select the price that interests you and go to the store through the “buy” button.

I can't say that I'm completely satisfied with the Hatsan air rifle. Of course, it is light, your hands do not get tired even after a long hunt. It is easy to hit a small target, the sight is well adjusted. Only the stock material is plastic, it is not resistant to damage.

To be honest, I was not 100% satisfied with the HATSAN Striker rifle. Firstly, it’s not always convenient for me to hold it in my hands. Maybe I'm just used to shorter models. You get recoil when you shoot. You must hold it confidently in your hands. Another negative that I want to write about is look at the plastic rear. To be honest, I didn't really like it either. I don't rule out the possibility of purchasing another model in the near future.

Received the HATSAN striker due to its superior performance at minimal cost. He weighs only three pounds. It has enough power to shoot cans. The speed is also high. Lead shells. It has a comfortable handle. It's easy to aim through the front sight, which can be adjusted. Accuracy is good. Looks attractive.

There is a weak spring and the kit comes with a factory one??

Factory spring, 305 m.s. You can install gas, at 330 m.s.

Hatsan spring loaded air piston rifle. The rifle has a stylish design and a durable body, as well as mountings for shoulder straps, so the weapon fits comfortably on the shoulder. Easy trigger adjustment, not sensitive and it affects the pile. The Striker Edge has adjustable, threaded fiberglass sights that, when combined with the front sight, provide moderate accuracy and, once optics are installed, a high hit probability.

I believe this opinion will attract a large number of airgun enthusiasts, only because the Striker Edge rifle from the renowned manufacturer Hatsan is a hallmark of this response. This is not the first time this rifle has fallen into my hands. But before, I didn’t want to share my opinion, because it would be harmful to my personal, very individual opinion. However, I had the pleasure of shooting this gun two weeks ago and can now greatly appreciate it. This is the newest, most economical model, which in its own way stands out from the Hatsan line. She looks much better than her own predecessors. Most likely, this feeling is formed by the applied part: a view of the frame, as well as a breath of clean air. The long cheekbone really stands out.

"Hatsan" class "supermagnum"

This segment of air rifles is the most widespread and popular around the world.

"Hatsan 125"

The most interesting and widespread model is “Hatsan 125”. It was she who ousted her Spanish and German rivals from the market and is still creating a stir to this day. Its price was much lower than that of its competitors, and its power and quality were many times greater. It is not surprising that buyers flocked to the Turkish version, causing losses to all other companies.

But now the question of the quality of this rifle is causing fierce debate. For example, many say that its quality is noticeably poor, that the handle is poorly made, and the stock and trigger are poorly thought out. Many people say that the optical sight quickly fails, along with the piston and clutch.

However, these disputes do not affect purchasing power. In many countries, such a rifle is being sold like hotcakes.

The manufacturers did not stop with this rifle; they released an improved version of it, in which they fixed all the bugs and problems. The range of this type of rifle is very diverse.

The Hatsan 125TH rifle is one such example. The price starts from 15,000 rubles on the Russian market for such a rifle. In this model, the developers experimented with the design. For example, there is a “skeleton” version or a wooden version, with which the owner can feel like a real hunter.

This model has a very well thought out butt cheek and muffler.

"Hatsan sniper"

An even more advanced version is the Hatsan Sniper, equipped with a sniper bipod and modern sights. The price of such a rifle is 20,000 rubles in Russia. Its length is about 1240 millimeters, and its weight exceeds four kilograms.

The Hatsan 135 line has become even more advanced compared to its brothers. Such rifles have a compressor that is 30 x 120 millimeters. This rifle weighs more than 4 kilograms and is made of a material called “Turkish walnut”.

However, the Hatsan line of “supermagnums” does not always have advantages. Many experts say they are not known for accuracy, the compressor gets very hot, and the sniper scope does not allow you to reach the target. The gas spring in the compressor does not always work efficiently. Many say that it would be better if it did not exist at all.

Although users point to their effectiveness, most criticize the low rate of fire and difficulty in maintaining the rifles.

"Hatsan Quiet Energy"

One of the latest models in this line is the Hatsan 135 Quiet Energy. It is distinguished by a 7.62 mm modification and a high-quality under-barrel platoon. It is made to look like wood and is an original hunting rifle.

It is worth noting that this rifle has much more positive reviews than its “super Magnus” colleagues. Most of the users praise the design, including the closures, couplings and comfortable cheek piece.

This line was conceived as a kind of remake, a response to negative reviews about the Hatsan 125 and Hatsan Sniper versions. Judging by the reviews, the manufacturers managed to achieve results. Now this rifle is one of the best-selling rifles in the world. A big name and a beautiful building did their job.

Important! It is worth noting that the above discussed rifles with a movable platoon, that is, the weapon is literally assembled for firing. Below we will present the Hatsan rifles with under-barrel cocking and their main characteristics. They also have magnum and supermagnum class models. These rifles are not better or worse. They stand parallel to each other.

I want to explain in advance why I am posting this review. The fact is that all the tests that users of this weapon post on the network were done on samples with installed GPUs and others. I decided to post what comes to you from the store, and let people decide for themselves whether it’s worth it or not. Got Hatsan Striker Edge. In the store where I bought it, they re-opened it and shot it with the front sight and the whole thing. All I had to do was shoot the optics that I bought from them (Yagnob 3-9/32). By the way, the rifle was sighted on a weakened spring and cuff installed by the manufacturer (the reinforced spring and cuff are in the box, unpacked) So. Even while zeroing, I noticed that when adjusting the sight to 3-4 clicks at a distance of 7 meters (it was not possible to place further), the bullets fit almost one to the other, the difference is a millimeter. In general, the rifle's accuracy is fine. By power. I did not conduct a special test, but it turned out that he was born on his own. I placed a block of 50 mm polystyrene foam (it’s convenient to mount a target on it), and in the background a 25 mm chipboard slab at a distance of about 100-150 mm. Shot from 7 meters. Some strange bullets Super Oztay Diabolo 4.5 mm 0.49 - 0.52 grams (as the seller claims, although I couldn’t find the weight on the box). As a result, this structure was punched out and there were quite deep marks in the concrete wall in front of which it stood. I would also like to say something about the sight. It didn’t go astray when shooting even though it was standing on the rings that came with it. I didn’t like the focus adjustment (like on cheap Chinese flashlights). Determining the target using the grid at first caused a storm of swearing, until I read in the instructions how much to multiply the size of the target and then everything worked out. the rest seems fine. but I think it would be better to pay extra and buy Lipers. Well, that seems to be all I wanted to say. Maybe someone will be interested in my review.

I brought it home two hours ago. My wife ran into the pool, she’s a pacifist. I sent a video of the shooting to the boy at school - he’s ready to run away from class. Powerful, it pierces a tin can right through from 10m, and also penetrates a tree by a centimeter. I can’t tell you the accuracy yet, I haven’t shot it, but without a stop from 10m I put 10 bullets in a circle with a diameter of 10 cm, despite my hands-on attitude and lack of any shooting skills. I’m looking forward to the next holidays and going to the dacha, it will be more interesting there)).

shooting 750 bullets (I shoot Gamo TS-10 and Umareks Cobra), the spring has not weakened, everything is fine, the spring has not weakened, the metal bucket penetrates right through (both walls), the seleton stock is very comfortable, made of strong plastic, in general I’m happy with the purchase!), especially since In this price range there is nothing worthy at all except this model! Thank you all for your attention)) Take it, you won’t regret it! Good luck to all.

Exactly 2 months have passed since the date of purchase. Let’s say right away that there was no deep re-opening. The toy is far from the first in the family, and the garage has long been a shooting gallery. Moderately powerful, from my collection I can compare it with a tired Crossman storm xt 1000 gas/spring, which is more than 10 years old. Without offense, I’m speaking directly about the copy that came across to me. Advantages: moderately comfortable butt and grip of the pistol, not heavy, not expensive, not a pity, moderately powerful spring, does not break in the hands if you look closely and, and, perhaps, that’s all. Cons: you can’t get a heap larger than a matchbox, there’s a lot of garbage in the factory lubricant, it’s responsive to lead bullets, weighing less than 0.68 there’s no point in shooting, for me personally the safety is not convenient, you need to keep an eye on the screws on the civier - they come loose due to the power, the plastic trigger is hard customize, heavy platoon for women and children. But against this background of pros and cons, this is an excellent bucket splitter, which can be easily aimed at 30 meters, at a 2L target. Bucklags (personally, we put a small bucket of varnish on it so that you could hear the hit, and not run around looking at the target. Purely for fun, you can’t set records on it. Spring shot 2000-2500, I’m satisfied, I recommend it. For 2500 this is a gift for a beginner .

New items

"NovaStar"

New models of “Hatsan” rifles are posted on the company’s website. One of these is NovaStar. It has a caliber of 4.5, 5.5 and 6.35 millimeters. This rifle weighs only 3.8 kilograms without a magazine.

“Flash Pup S”

This is a powerful rifle both in appearance and in recoil. Its caliber is the same as that of its colleague “NovaStar”. However, it looks massive. The most interesting thing is that she weighs only three kilograms, despite her dangerous appearance. This is achieved due to the short barrel and lightweight spring.

"Hatsan Alpha"

The rifle is designed for "children and beginners," the company's website says. Its length is 1057 millimeters. It is available in three types - camouflage, black and wood. Interestingly, it is in demand not only among children and beginners. According to enthusiastic comments online, it is very easy to use.

A bullet with an Alpha rifle can reach speeds of up to 250 meters per second.

"Super Charger QE"

This rifle is also popular because it weighs only 1.6 kilograms. Its length is only 475 millimeters. However, despite its short length, in other respects it belongs to rifles. But it’s better to put it between rifles and pistols.

"Speed ​​Fire"

From English "quick fire". And she is really fast and efficient. In this weapon, the trigger can be set to two different settings. This rifle has only two calibers - 4.5 and 5.5. The standard length is 1195 millimeters. This rifle weighs 3.4 kilograms, which makes it one of the lightest rifles. Manufacturers promise maximum accuracy and perfect optics. This is a new model on the market and has not yet received many rave reviews.

"Air Tact"

Translated from English as “Air beat”. And it really merges with the air flow, ensuring high accuracy of hitting the target. It has a built-in muffler that works with great efficiency, according to the description on the website. Manufacturers also promise a very movable hook and high-quality installation. The length of such a rifle is 1140 millimeters, and it weighs only 2.6 kilograms. This is all due to the thin barrel, lightweight spring and polymer materials from which this weapon is made.

"Vectis"

This model is also presented with a muffler. Its length is 1050 millimeters and its weight is about three kilograms. It is also created from high-tech polymers, which makes it easy to use and easy to lift. It is produced in three types of caliber - 4.5, 5.5 and 6.36 millimeters. This model is also new on the market and it is not yet entirely clear how well the manufacturers have coped with the task of improvement.

Hatsan striker edge and muzzle energy

Last edited by A_I on 05/02/2020 09:58, edited 1 time in total.

1 m), I calculate that the potential energy in the case of a regular spring is no less than 20 J, and for a reinforced one - 40 J. I’m doing something wrong.

It penetrates a 2.5 cm pine board from a distance of 8-10 m with 0.71 g bullets. It’s more difficult to estimate here.. The declared initial velocity of the bullet (though 0.51 g) is 305 m/s. How to translate this into J.

Last edited by A_I on 02.05.2020, 13:17, edited 1 time in total.

That's right, I forgot the square

This is exactly what you get with a reinforced spring, the same 40-45 J, which exceeds the 25 J allowed even under the license (above - only for sporting shotguns under special permits and conditions.)

Again, an error - 22.5 J. But then - if you recalculate the declared 300 and 0.5 ..

It’s cool that if you calculate the impulse in J (which, of course, is not correct), you’ll get exactly the allowed 7.5. Maybe the Turks think so.

The barrel “pulled” from its place is already in a position ten degrees different from the axis of the rifle. This is like the initial position before breaking. I clamped the rifle at an angle so that the barrel in the initial position was approximately 45 degrees. to the horizontal (and, accordingly, the same to the vertical). With a conventional spring, the shift (no more than 5-10 cm) occurred with a weight of 4 kg. With reinforced one under almost the same conditions - by 8 kg. Accordingly, the horizontal angle became smaller and the resulting force greater. It is clear why the shift did not continue further - the spring began to compress, and the compression force blocked the resulting force. Then I assumed that for further bending a weight greater than that already applied would be needed. That’s why I concluded that “no less.” In terms of the speed of the bullets, with a regular spring, the rifle with some bullets barely “spit.” Here, after all, a lot depends on the quality of the bullets; there is also a rifled barrel, and the rifling, as I understand it, is “sharpened” for speeds of more than 220-250 m/s. Well, in general, too many things begin to mix in with the “according to the final result” method. And I did it using the “initial data” method.

I think the “efficiency” is still more than 10% (especially 1). I thought there should be 80-90 percent - there are practically no “mechanics” as such - a spring and a piston from the main power supply and that’s it. But, apparently, the estimate actually turns out to be less - at the level of 50%. In terms of speed, what is interesting here is the initial speed of the bullet (at the moment it leaves the barrel). As the distance increases, air resistance begins to strongly influence, which in the case of each specific bullet shape (and there are dozens of them) is an uncertain value..

The efficiency is noticeably less than 100%: - gas breaks through between the bullet and the barrel; — gas breaks through between the piston and cylinder; — friction of the bullet on the barrel; — gas heating during compression; — mechanical impact of the piston on the end of the cylinder; — bullet ejection with high residual pressure in the barrel; — well, something goes into the sound of blows and the grinding of the spring.

Devices like this (I didn’t watch the video, but they are all similar in principle) have an error of the order of a percent (i.e. 1-2 m/s) and therefore the drop in bullet speed in the first meters beyond the barrel cut does not matter, it is smaller and the error device and other random factors (for example, the friction of a bullet in the bore, it is not at all that stable). And yes, the devices measure speed; in order to correctly show the energy in them, you need to indicate the mass of the bullet.

In general, I agree. Provided that 40-60% is also “noticeably less than 100%.” However, there are questions about heating gas during compression. Well, the gas heated up during compression, accordingly, as if in the “temperature” there is also a “reserve” of energy. But when he fired, he gave it away.

Nope, it didn’t have time, it doesn’t expand back to atmospheric pressure while the bullet is still in the barrel, and it manages to transfer some of the heat to the rifle - these are all irrecoverable losses of energy (for the bullet). However, yes, I agree, for pneumatics the heating losses are vanishingly small.

For information: with a muzzle energy of 7.5 J and a speed of 172 m/s with a 0.5 g bullet with a spring force of 40 kg (400 N), the residual pressure at the muzzle (at the moment the bullet leaves) is 6 atm, the maximum pressure is 18 atm, the shot is 12 ms, the efficiency is 37%. With a spring of 100 kg (1000 N), the residual pressure is 5.6 atm, speed is 290 m/s, energy is 21 J, shot is 8 ms, efficiency is 42%. Calculation by Spring Airgun 1.0.4 program by Rogozhin Ignat. She also has a theory of calculation to help her, which is interesting to read.

Xey So about 10% and even more so 1% efficiency are fairy tales.

Well, after all, no less than a steam engine! (Although I initially, purely based on “everyday logic,” assumed twice as much..)

I downloaded it and looked at it. There is a lot of uncertainty about the friction force. In general, it is not clear how fair it is to calculate the efficiency by “weaving in” a bullet. That is, it is clear that some practical meaning of efficiency, of course, is in representing the possible final damage from the use of weapons. But, the bullets are all different, it is clear that we need to look for the most optimal options, for example, with the maximum conventional value of “bullet mass - speed”, however, purely “academically” I would indicate the energy without a bullet at all - the gas energy during a blank shot, in order to be less dependent from additional and even “strongly nonlinear” parameters..

Brand terms

Quattro Trigger

The English word "Trigger" is translated as "trigger". This is an indispensable element of every air rifle. The Italian name "Quattro" literally translates to "four". This hints at the four main components of this mechanism - the trigger and three sears.

The most important difference between Turkish rifles is that the hook is always unloaded and does not depend on the spring. This characteristic determines the quality of the entire mechanism and the gun as a whole.

By comparison, many rifle manufacturers can only reduce volume by 32 percent.

There are a lot of examples of “Hatsans” with silencers. For example, Airmax, SuperNova, Bullboss-W and others. Their mufflers are also different and act differently for different calibers and types of hardware.

Example - "Gladius" and "Gladius Long". This rifle looks compact - the length of the short and extended versions does not exceed 1000 millimeters. However, they weigh very impressively - almost five kilograms. This weight comes from the spring and trigger mechanism. But this version has as many as four magazines, two trigger modes and the Easy Adjust system.

However, the price of Gladius can be steep - from 72,000 rubles.

Overall, this advanced two-stage match trigger is only available in the .

The custom trigger also allows finger pressure to be released if the shot cannot be fired after being engaged in the first stage. It automatically returns the trigger to full engagement. It also has a built-in fall safety device to prevent the air gun from accidentally triggering when dropped (whether the guard is on or not).

SAS

Another component, which is in no way inferior to the previous one in meaning and importance, is the SAS or vibration damping system. In English it sounds like Shock Absorber System.

This system is slightly different in shotguns with a broken barrel and a solid one. The broken ones have a barrel, which is rigidly fixed with iron in the stock. In solid barrels this mount is slightly more flexible. Both types of shotguns have a compressor, which is mounted on a bracket at the back, and at the front it is attached to special bushings. It is these bushings that dampen vibrations.

Hatsan says its patented shock absorber system reduces vibration and increases the life of weapons, optics and accessories.

Vortex

In English, the word "Vortex" means "funnel". Manufacturers have played with this name a little in guns. In pneumatics, this is a proprietary high-pressure gas spring. Almost a funnel.

There is no unique “vortex”. It is different for each model and performs different functions.

There are at least 6 types of such “vortexes”:

• type 1: mode 55-60-70-75-80-85-90
• type 1-B: mode 88-95-99
• type 2: mode 125-125TH-125 Sniper, Mod 135, Torpedo 150-150TH-155
• type 3: Striker 1000S-1000X-Edge
• type 4: Dominator
• type 5: Torpedo 100X-105X
• type 6: Mod25 SuperCharger

TRIOPAD

From the English “pad”, which literally means “insole”, it’s easy to guess that “Triopad” is a butt softening system. This is a rubber gasket with special adjustment inserts added.

According to the company, TRIOPAD maximizes recoil absorption and provides additional comfort. And three spacers allow you to adjust the appropriate length of pull.

Quiet Energy

Translated as “Silent Energy” and is an integrated muffler. Reduces shot volume by fifty percent, according to the manufacturer.

The company is now working to reduce the sound of the shot to a minimum, so that it is not heard at all. Such developments are presented for presentation purposes only and have not yet passed all tests.

The word "Quiet Energy" was coined specifically. Silencers have analogs in Spanish, German, and many other air guns.

Suppressed shotguns are available in 4.5, 5.5 and 6.35 mm calibers. Bullets can reach speeds of 380 meters per second, which is quite impressive for an air rifle.

These indicators apply only to light bullets that are not weighted with lead or other metal.

This technology is very popular with Predator model rifles. Nowadays, many videos on YouTube show how easy it is to use such silenced rifles. Indeed, the capabilities of such pneumatics are amazing. And the Turks still promise new lines with improvements.

Currently, the company’s website lists at least seventeen models with Quiet Energy technology. These include the aforementioned Hercules and Hercules Bully, Nova, Gladius, and Bullboss models.

Standing apart is a model called AT-P1 QE. Here in the description of the rifle it is written that it is fifty percent quieter, which makes it a breakthrough in suppressed rifles. This rifle weighs a little more than two kilograms and reaches a length of only 590 millimeters. The quality of the shot is achieved by an aluminum cylinder and a metal trigger, which is covered with gold plates. It also uses shockproof technology (the so-called anti-knock system), which is very attractive to users.
