About the Daystate Pulsar
The Daystate Pulsar is a high-end electronic pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) bullpup air rifle produced in the United Kingdom by Daystate. It uses the company's Map Compensated Technology (MCT) electronic firing valve, programmed via an LCD screen set into the cheekpiece and powered by AA batteries, to deliver highly consistent shot-to-shot velocity. The compact bullpup layout pairs a Lothar Walther barrel with sidelever cocking, a 10-shot rotary magazine, an integral sound-moderating system and a 300cc aluminium air cylinder. Offered in .177, .22 and .25 calibre with a reversible ambidextrous stock, it is favoured for precision target shooting and hunting at restricted-power UK air-rifle levels.
The Pulsar brought Daystate's electronic Map Compensated Technology into a compact bullpup chassis, condensing a full-length precision PCP into a sub-800mm package while retaining a 430mm Lothar Walther barrel.
