 Welcome to the Pyramid Insider. I'm Tyler Patner. Today we're going to be taking a look at a brand new one just announced at SHOT Show 2018, the Hots on Flash in .22 caliber. So because this gun is called the Flash, we're going to do the world's fastest review today. Alright, let's start at the muzzle. So, first off you have the QE system, fully moderated, should be very very quiet. We have a fill port here, gauge on the underside of the stock with a Picatinny rail section where you can go ahead and mount a bipod. 200 bar fill pressure, side bolt operated, 2 12 round magazines in .22, looked just like the Mags of Bullmaster and Barrage, a weaver slash 11 millimeter duck tail combo rail, skeletonized thumb hole stock at the back, quadro trigger should be very nice, got a .416 UTG stock on top, and let's grab it right back. Just kidding. So the Flash was announced at the 2018 SHOT Show. Basically Hots on's answer to the Umarex gauntlet and the Diana Storm Rider, a $300 PCP. Quite frankly, this was one of the guns that I was most excited to see because Hots on's going to bring you a powerful $300 gun as opposed to most of these 22s that are like 22, 23, 24 foot pounds. This is going to be a full bodied 22, I guess you're talking about having 30 plus foot pounds at your disposal. What that's going to do to the shotgun, of course, we're going to find out, but let's go over some of the features of this flash. So starting at the front of the gun, we do have the QE system, so you have this kind of integral suppressor as well as a full shroud system. Should keep things pretty quiet, pretty backyard friendly for all you guys looking to do some backyard testing or just general target shooting in the backyard. Dropping down, we do have a, I believe it's about 165 CC air cylinder here, so a little bit smaller than most of the air cylinders on the Hots on guns, and it is fixed. You can't screw it off and replace it with a new bottle. Not a big deal to me. You do have your standard fill probe here that comes with all of the Hots on guns, and it is threaded on the end of one eighth BSPP. So you are going to need a quick disconnect fitting if that is what your fill system needs. And that just slides right into the fill port. Doesn't come with a dust cover. Hots on's usually really good about that. I'd like to see them include one, you know, just something to put in there when your fill probe isn't in the gun, but not the end of the world for me. Gun fills the 200 bar, which you can see on a gauge on the underside of the stock. You got some nice color coding there. So 200 bar, about 2900 PSI. And talking about the stock here, it is full synthetic. It has a pretty good feel to it, but it is going to keep things very, very lightweight. This gun's coming in at six pounds. This is exactly what I've personally been wanting to see from Hots on for many years now. Their guns, in my opinion, needed to go on a diet, and the flash has been put on a diet. They introduced this guy to Jenny Craig, and he is a pleasure to deal with at six pounds. Very nice and pointable. The thumbhole skeletonized stock here is just really easy to get along with, in my opinion. It's going to fit most hand sizes without a problem, and just feels really good. Like it's a nice solid feeling gun that's not too heavy and not too bulky. And at 42 inches long, you're not going to have a problem carrying this around with you. So another thing that is featured in this stock is a little Picatinny rail section here. If you did want to mount a bipod or something like that, I love that. You know, just the ability to quickly mount a bipod is always nice, in my opinion. On top of the breech, we have Hots on standard weaver slash 11 millimeter dovetail scope rail, which at this point is kind of, you know, it's their standard and it works. I prefer to use dovetail mounts on these rails just because sometimes the Picatinny weaver sections are a little weird. So we went ahead and mounted a UTG 4-16 by 50 scope here on top. On the side of the action here, we do have a side bolt operated system, very similar to what we've seen on the Gauntlet. But it kind of pops back on its own, not too hard to pull back and does go down into that slot. You got two 12 round magazines with these. This is the same as the mags on the Bullmaster and the Barrage. So you can just slide them in there and you're good to go. 12 pellets will do all 12 shot groups when we're out on the range for you guys. And the gun does also come with a single shot tray, which again, little value added features that are always nice. So when you go ahead and cock that back, you're going to go ahead. You don't have to drop it down when you're just loading the gun, but you do when you're going to take the mag in and out and you're just going to rock it forward and you're good to go. If you do want to de-cock the rifle, you just hold it back there, pull the trigger. You hear it kind of pop and you're good to go and you're all safe. Another big upgrade, kind of an upgrade, I guess, in my opinion, that Hotson has been long-needing is a non-automatic safety. So we do have a manual safety that's really conveniently placed for the right-handed shooters out there. You just flip that back. It's on safe. Flip it forward. You're hot and ready to go. And the Quattro trigger. So this should be a very, very good trigger. May need a little adjusting out of the box for you, but it is very adjustable. The Quattro's really nice. I think this one's breaking about three pounds. It doesn't have too much take-up, which I like, and comes to a fairly clean wall. So it's a nice little trigger that you're going to be able to get along with, whether you're a hunter or a target shooter, without a problem. So let's head out to the range and see what this flash can do. All right, guys. We tested pretty much every pellet we had at our disposal, probably somewhere in the 15, 16 amount of pellets. That said, we narrowed it down to three in our pretesting that did quite well. The results were okay, you know, for most. So you got the Crossman Premier Domes, which is a pretty affordable pellet. All 12 shots in these R-12 shot groups, inch and a quarter for all 12. You cut out that shot right there, which was my first shot. So probably a me problem there. And you got 11 shots in a one-inch group, which is certainly not too bad out at 45 yards. Moving it in, the Barracuda Powers, which is a very heavy pellet. You got a 21 grain pellet there. It's going to give you a lot of energy. It puts all 12 in about an inch and an eighth. And again, 11 of those 12 are going to be in a one-inch group there, which is, again, pretty solid, but definitely the best. Those JSB 15.89s, a 5-8s group, 12 shots out of a $300 gun. High praise in the accuracy department for the hots on flash. So looking over these chronograph results with the hots on flash is kind of what I expected, especially with the 16 grain pellet. About 30 foot pounds of energy and that 20 shot average at 925 feet per second is definitely cruising along with a 16 grain pellet. It's producing good accuracy, but really if we're looking at the tightness of these velocities, you're talking about getting one mag. So 12 shots, maybe 15 shots in a kind of a usable velocity range if you're shooting out to 50 yards or more. If you're using this gun for tighter ranges than that, not going to see so much of a change. But really, guys, you're buying a hots on flash because you want to do some serious hunting with it, not because you want to be shooting all day in the backyard. This is going to be the $300 gun that the serious hunter is going to be able to get behind and use effectively. All right, guys. So I got to say, very impressed with the hots on flash. It's really everything I expected it to be. It's quiet. You got a solid trigger. It's not going to require too much fiddling out of the box. And if it does, it's relatively easy to do. 12 round magazines, so you get a few more shots per mag for those of you guys that are hunting with this gun. Reliable bolt action system, and it's got good power. Pushing a 16 grain pellet, basically, at 925 feet per second average over about 20 shots. This is going to be really good for you hunters out there. 30 foot pounds of energy, a 5 eighths group at 45 yards. Absolutely phenomenal over 12 shots. Got to see a dust cover in that. I'd really like hots on to put that out there. But overall, I really can't find too many gripes with this gun, if any at all. It's lightweight, which is a godsend from hots on. Thank you very much. Quiet, accurate. You got the multi-shot system. They did everything right with this $300 PCP. And if you're looking for more power, you got a 25 caliber option. If you're looking to do some target shooting exclusively, you got a 177 option as well. Whether you're just getting into PCPs, or if you're looking for a gun to knock around within the woods, the hots on flash is going to be a really good choice for you.
