[@heathhalfhill6401]

I have the .25 cal LCS SK-19 and after nearly 4 years I can honestly say it is my favorite and most accurate PCP. It is perfect for hunting and pest control and at 70 FPE with a FX 34 grain pellet shooting at 960 FPS effortlessly and efficiently I can only imagine what improvements have been made on the Rattler and Sidewinder and since the LCS is already amazing there shouldn't be that many improvements honestly. Easy as can be to tune for whatever you chose. Not hard to do maintenance if needed either. Hammerless IMO IS the future of PCPs and the price should come down also in time. 2300$ may seem like a lot but it is a buy once cry once kinda thing. For me...money well spent and it is used on the daily. Semi is enough but full auto does put a smile on everyone's faces. I like the fixed mag. Don't know if I would like a removable mag on this platform. Time will tell.

[@KingHaggis]

Hammerless valve design is indeed the future for airguns. I Loved my Huben K1 and now I love my Western Rattler 357. I'm very tempted to get the Sidewinder too 😀

[@jisskk28]

My evanix max air 2 is also hammerless. Great semi auto 30 cal that is often ignored. 😎

is this air rifle powerful enough for home defense/deer hunting?

[@edpenkalski8937]

In .30 it definitely is but even in .22 15 of those bad boys 1 right after another your going down especially if it's 15 head shots ... Army standard impact lethality is 58 fpe, up from 42 fpe around WWII times ... If you want semi auto home defense try the s45 from aea it's about as powerful as traditional 9mm handgun and costs way less than this gun by way less I mean about 700 bucks out the door

[@todddavidmoore]

Looking forward to more hammerless designs. As a suburban backyard .22 shooter I have to consider noise. In your opinion, how quiet is the stock .22 and with their moderator? Also, the clip does not look like it is indexed. Does it stop by itself when the clip is empty (or does it continue to fire blank shots)?

[@VirtualPinballMachines]

Awesome PCP rifle! Nice Chat GPT description. Next time include a link to the product silly! -Nate

[@bmwrider1931]

Are they coming out with another barrel for the 30 cal and a diff mag for slugs?

[@pheonixdragon2261]

I remember seeing a full auto pcp rifle that I believe came out of South Korea about 5 years ago that was banned from import to the U.S. because of the rate of fire.

[@edpenkalski8937]

Facts if you make a good product give it a good warranty otherwise there's cheaper full auto options with better warranties... If the price comes down yea a 1 year warranty isn't bad but if you want damn near 2500 for an air rifle it better be backed up for 2500 dollars worth of use

Bro, you did well the first time around. It just means no early morning coffee, no lunchtime Gatorade, and no Coca-Cola for the trip home. After many spaghetti dinners, the Sidewinder will be yours.

What a beautiful pcp.❤

[@__-pl3jg]

This looks well machined but is it as good as the Hatsan Blitz with 32rd extended magazine? We really need someone to come up with a bottom fed traditional style magazine for these air rifles. It will make bullpup drop in kit designs a lot easier.

[@arsenelupiniii8040]

I believe our guy Macabespeed is gonna be the breakthrough for trad magazines, check out his channel!

[@fgb3126]

I've had a question for some time, never got around to calling AOA. Those air chambers - do they detach from the rifle, so you can take one to the air source used to refill them? And, if they do detach, do some users buy more than one so that if/when they run out of air, they can just insert their second chamber fully pressured up?

[@MightyRude]

You can buy a quick connect to be able to exchange the bottles, but I don’t know about any pcp rifles that come with a quick connect bottle. Most people just buy an extra bottle (like an airsoft or diving bottle) and fill the rifle on the go.

[@airgunsofarizona]

This Sidewinder would do well for Iguana and fast follow up shots. For Competition and Hunting, look at the BRK Ghost as a great option. They are winning competitions and Jessica over @IguanaSolutions loves using her Ghost for iguanas.

[@wirawan_panggabean]

Looks like LCS SK19, what is the big difference ?

[@jbhk7977]

Yes there is another rifle out there that was sooner. The Leshiy 2 has the same removable mag and is semi auto. 😉

[@jbhk7977]

Sameone posted "apples to oranges" and then removed the post . . . FYI, it's apples to apples . . .

[@airgunsofarizona]

Leshiy 2 is another great airgun. But...this Sidewinder is full auto too, so back to the apples and oranges! 😉

[@richardellis9106]

Is it full auto,,absolutely not

[@edpenkalski8937]

The blitz is full auto with a high capacity mag and a fraction of the price... It doesn't carry the fpe this has on the high end but 60 fpe is more than enough to get the job done and again at a fraction of the price and with a 30 round mag. Is a hammerless tech really worth almost 1500 dollars more if we're getting the same 60 fpe but only 15 shots before having to reload? I mean you shouldn't need 30 rounds to off pests but it's nice to have options 😂

[@jbhk7977]

@@airgunsofarizona Leshiy 2 and Sidewinder both shoot from/through the mag without chambering. hens the oranges and oranges. Full auto is more like a gimmic, a "fun switch". Not a serious option because the gun simply needs a second or two for the plenum to fill and get optimal power at the set reg. pressure. Yes it's fun and yes, in that sense it's appels to oranges, but I like to look at the way I would use it, in semi auto shooting through the magazine.

[@quachha1363]

What scope would you put on the compact? I need suggestions

[@airgunsofarizona]

A small scope like the MTC Copperhead is cool. Also Athlon has a few smaller scopes to stay with the compact profile.

[@Parapon3ra]

What's the .30 cal's shot count on full power? Also, if you'd put on the optional 700cc tank, could you still mount a suppressor (for example, a DonnyFL Yokozuna) using the currently available adapters?

[@airgunsofarizona]

30 shots at full power, which is over 120 fpe. You can add a 700cc bottle and still use a mod with the adapter. Just watch out for the OD on the Airgun mod.

Loved to own one but the price point is ridiculous. I just checked all the websites that sell this. None of them offer the case as indicated in the video that I can see and the extra mags are $160 if they dropped it to 1500 I might consider it. Also, they should drop the price of the mags at least to $100. I’m not quite sure what the cost of titanium is but it can’t be that much.

[@AEAMEXICO-USAInternational]

@airgunsofarizona you know what I dislike about this channel? They sell these so they are not going to give you honest reviews though they should. I sell AEA and do honest reviews on my guns. The fully auto does not ever give you all of your shots. I have the .30 cal and it may give me 5 shots then you have to let off the trigger then press again. I sent it back and they “adjusted “ it and it came back the same. Sad but true. The positive is I love the trigger on this thing.

[@onurisleyen6769]

If you want rapid fire, you should try Hatsan Blitz 😉

[@barryhallsack8852]

I bought one of those and returned it steaming pile of 💩💩! You only get 650 ft per second with the blitz. All I can say is you get what you pay for. I put about 200 rounds through it. Had problems cycling leaked air jammed. Not that accurate either compared to a lot of other air rifles. I haven't tried the sidewinder yet but all the stuff that I'm seeing online they are hitting 950 ft per second. Full auto is flawless. I rather have the 15 rounds of complete accuracy than the 30 rounds of spray and go. The shop that I bought the blitz from tells me one out of five of them get sent back. At least they returned it and gave me a full refund. It might be a cool air gun if it worked, but for me after holding it I was happy to send it back 😂

[@jimmyhang9511]

Between hatsan blitz and sideminder witch one is better ?

[@arsenelupiniii8040]

Hands down the Western, but price point on the blitz is hard to beat, especially since you are gonna chew through pellets like a mutha! I would bet Hatsan is reverse engineering this full auto beauty! Hatsan is really good at price point engineering. I just wish we could get the Blitz Bull pup in the states.
