Has anyone have any experience shooting the Krait X. Is the gun reliable or have you run into issues?
Thanks

Krait X, 700mm
- Thread starter WPM
- Start date
I've got the "baby", (short barrel) Krait. Just a barrel difference.
While there were regulator problems early on, AirMaks worked the problem to get things straightened out.
I waited a while before buying one, while the first "new" (second) regulator was provided. Then there was a third version. I guess, I was lucky with the second version, and have had zero problems with my Krait. I put a digital gauge in the back to try to keep a close eye on the regulator.
As I said, "zero" problems anywhere with the gun.
At first, I thought I was...having a regulator pressure problem, then realized, that the numbers that I was seeing on the digital gauge, were not only small variances, but were small enough that they would not even show up on an analog gauge !
So yes, I wouldn't hesitate if you like the gun. Again, zero problems anywhere with my Krait. I shot it the other day after sitting about two+ months. I had put a piece of tape on the analog gauge to verify the pressure in the air cylinder. NO visable...needle movement. And again, only a couple of bar on the digital gauge on the first shot, and back to it's normal small variance of a couple of bar between shots, as normal in ANY gun, that ONLY a digital gauge will you able to see.

Thank you Mike for your input, very much appreciated. Do you know what foot pounds of energy your rifle is putting out? Also, have you shot slugs and what kind of accuracy you’re getting in general? If I go with the Krait, I’ll be getting it in 25 cal.

Sorry, no idea on the pellet energy.
Two reasons.
1 - Don't care. I don't hunt anything but little black dots on a piece of paper.
2 - I don't always use the same weight pellet. This changes the energy.
Shooting slugs -
No, I don't shoot slugs. I bought this as a...pellet gun. If I want to shoot slugs, I go out to a range and shoot firearms.
My accuracy is subjective. I shoot offhand, (no sticks, bags, bye or tripods). I'm almost 73. So...add those two up and you'll find that some days...I have good days...and some days, not so much ! But, yeah, on good days, I'm happy with the guns accuracy. I don't shoot far, 25 yards or less. In these distances, removing a 5/8" dia. black dot from the paper target, offhand normally is no problem.
My Krait is a .22.
Hope that helps some.
