Product Description

Taipan SLASH Tactical PCP Air Rifle — 420mm

Overview

The Taipan SLASH Tactical is a purpose-built, UK-legal semi-automatic PCP air rifle engineered for precision, fast follow-up shots and low operational noise. Combining an ultra-fast valve, a 300 cc carbon-fibre air bottle and a fully shrouded 420 mm barrel with integrated moderator, the SLASH delivers consistent sub-12 ft·lb performance that suits target shooters, pest controllers and tactical trainers who want an AR‑style feel without needing a firearm certificate.

Design & Performance

The SLASH features a removable 12-round magazine and semi-auto capability that allow quick magazine dumps and rapid engagement of multiple targets. Its advanced valve design opens and closes with exceptional speed, maximising muzzle energy while conserving compressed air. The shrouded barrel improves rigidity and incorporates an effective sound moderator to reduce report, making the rifle quieter and more comfortable to shoot.

Ergonomics & Modularity

Ergonomics are a core focus: the SLASH uses a replaceable AR‑15 style polymer grip and a height-adjustable buttpad so shooters can tailor fit and cheek weld. The chassis offers M-LOK accessory slots and a 20 MOA Picatinny rail for mounting optics, bipods and lights — turning the platform into a versatile target air rifle or tactical air rifle depending on needs.

Specifications (Summary)

Available in .177 (4.5 mm) and .22 (5.5 mm) calibres, the 420 mm barrel version has an overall length of 809 mm and weighs approximately 2,800 g. The 300 cc carbon-fibre bottle operates up to 300 bar and supports an impressive number of shots per fill.
