About the Hatsan Hercules Bully
The Hatsan Hercules Bully is a bullpup precharged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle chambered for .30 caliber pellets. A more compact, lighter sibling of the full-size Hatsan Hercules, the Bully pairs a 500cc carbon-fiber air cylinder charged to 250 bar with a precision rifled German steel barrel, a sidelever action, and a rotary magazine feed. It delivers up to roughly 115 ft-lbs of muzzle energy in .30 caliber, making it a powerful large-game air rifle. A full-length barrel shroud with an integrated sound moderator (Hatsan's Quiet Energy system) reduces the report, and the rifle is offered across a wide caliber range from .177 to .45.
The Hercules Bully was introduced as the compact bullpup version of Hatsan's flagship Hercules PCP, marketed as being nearly 3 pounds lighter and about a foot shorter than the original while retaining its high-power multi-caliber lineup.
