Prototype/pre-production stage Kueng HyperMagnum - the Desert Eagle of pellet pistols Note that it is not a pneumatic--no charging gear or pumping required!
It is cocked by lifting the barrel over the compression tube. High-quality and ruggedly built to last forever. A gladiator among air pistols. Action parts are steel and high grade aluminum. A lot of parts are milled from solid. Technical specifications*1: Limited lifelong warranty. Status Pre-production: Prototype building: Design/Blueprinting: Stay tuned for more info! When will the gun be available? What will it cost? How high is the velocity? What accuracy can be expected? Is the recoil not too strong to be accurate? The stroke axis of the Kueng HyperMagnum is a perfectly aligned extension of the shooting arm--so I don't see why the design should suffer that flaw. Also, it is not too light, making for a stable hold. Is the cocking effort manageable? Will a shoulderstock be available as an option? However, in the UK, adding a shoulderstock to make it a rifle is the only way to make it legal if exceeding 6 fpe, so a shoulderstock is planned to be made available as an optional add-on. Since there is only a single mounting screw, it will be easy to quickly exchange grip and stock in the field. How are the grips? Can a pistol scope be mounted? How loud is the report? Is it possible to screw on a silencer/suppressor? Safety Is the gun legal? In the UK, pellet pistols exceeding 6 ft/lbs are banned,
and no FAC can be obtained to make the possession legal. Will a gas spring be available? Other questions Would you like to be kept in the loop about this exciting project? Pre-order here; be among the first to get one of those guns! We will soon go into serial production. It helps us if we get your feedback. The Prototype in the white. Web Design © by Blue Line Studios

Commenced February 2008.
Commenced mid June 2006. Closed.
Closed. (Commenced Spring 2004.)
We cannot anticipate the date yet.
We have not yet established the price. It depends on a lot of factors.
Sorry not to answer “1,000 fps”. We think in footpounds of kinetic energy, not velocity. What means velocity? Read more about velocity here.
Thanks to close tolerances and Lothar Walther barrels, accuracy will be superb. First tests with the prototype have already been more than satisfactory.
Not at all. The Walther LP 53 had the direction of the piston stroke almost perpendicular to the bore axis! It would kick and jump like a mule, and yet, a good shooter can continuously hit a 1 inch target at 10 meters.
Take your 12fpe barrel cocker rifle, grab the barrel in the middle instead at the muzzle, and cock it. That's about what you have to expect with the maximum power spring. The 6fpe spring will be more moderate. There might be a 9fpe spring as well.
The pistol is designed as a pistol, not a carbine. As a product designer having a carbine in mind, I would have employed a completely different mechanical concept.
Right-hand and left-hand grips are planned. Ambidextrous for a third variant
is a possibility.
Yes, there is a 11mm rail and holes in the right places to take recoil arrestor pins. Planned are versions with and without iron sights.
Latest tests revealed it is surprisingly moderate.
May be offered as an option.
There is a manual safety, but no anti-beartrap, or automatic type of safety.
It is the operators sole responsibility to have the safety engaged and
keep the finger off the trigger while the barrel is in open position.
*2.
To comply with UK law, pistols have a 6ftlbs spring installed. A maximum
power spring kit can be obtained.
No. The effort to cock the very powerful spring is already maxed out. To achieve the same power with a gas spring, a much greater cocking effort is required. Read more about gas springs here.
