About the Kral Puncher Empire X

The Kral Puncher Empire X is a pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle from Turkish maker Kral Arms, part of the Puncher line. It feeds .22 (5.5mm) pellets from a 12-round rotary magazine via a side-lever action, driven by an oversized 600cc regulated air reservoir charged to 200 bar that yields up to 144 shots per fill. The rifle pairs a Turkish walnut stock with an adjustable buttstock and cheek riser, a shrouded rifled barrel, and a Picatinny optics rail. It is also offered in .177 and .25 calibers.

Kral Arms of Turkey built its reputation on shotguns before expanding into the PCP air-rifle market with the Puncher series, which became popular budget-friendly hunting and target airguns worldwide.
