 Welcome to the Pyramid Insider. I'm Tyler Patner and today we are gonna give you seven reasons why you need to check out the best PCP pistol on the market the Ataman AP16 So for those of you that are not familiar with the Ataman AP16 This is a Russian made PCP pistol available in 22 caliber packs Plenty of power for small game past control things like that But it's a very unique pistol in the PCP market Just because of its size and some of its features and it's really a phenomenal gun We've done a full review of this in the past But there have been some changes in the last year or two that we wanted to kind of update you with so let's get into it Reason number one Accuracy Ataman uses Lothar Walther barrels in these pistols and they are fantastic Typically with your JSP pellets your 15-8-9's your 18-1-3's These guns are capable of shooting out to 50 yards and that is saying something considering you've got a small barrel Now this is a customized one here But you're talking about a standard length barrel is what you see and then there's also a compact addition Which is about an inch shorter So you're not having a lot of barrel there to work with so getting that kind of accuracy is very impressive Reason number two is power the AP16 whether you get it in the standard length or the compact is putting out Depending on pellet weight between 12 and 17 foot-pounds or so and it does so very well like I said with great accuracy So you're gonna have plenty of power for those small-game interactions And of course good enough accuracy to take head or vital shots on any of those small-game animals squirrels chipmunks Pest birds whatever you want the AP16 is gonna get it done Reason number three the Ataman AP16 is fully regulated now that has not changed one of the nice things about this gun Actually as you can swap cylinders and because they screw directly into that regulator you can actually swap them under pressure So no real issue there You know if you run below the reg pressure you can unscrew it swap another cylinder on really easy to do But gonna give you extremely consistent velocities. This is a 300 bar fill gun So it does fill that higher pressure You don't have to fill that high, but that's where you're gonna get your max shock count now with the compact cylinder that you See here you're gonna be looking at about two to two and a half mag So 14 to 18 shots or so and with the full-size standard length cylinder you're gonna be looking at about three mags So 21 shots roughly and it does so with great consistency guys That's the important part and that's gonna lead to great downrange accuracy Reason number four the AP16 while this is a custom version is offered in two sizes So if you do want a more compact pistol you can buy the full compact gun Which the barrel ends right where you see the air cylinder on this guy? Or if you want a little bit better performance in terms of velocity and power and shot count you can swap the standard length Parts onto it, which you see the standard length barrel you throw a standard length cylinder on there And you're gonna get roughly another mag mag and a half worth of shots So that's one of the nice things about this and the parts are all interchangeable So if you buy it as a compact you can buy a longer barrel or a longer cylinder and swap them when you want Reason number five is the sleek side lever just looking at the gun here at the profile You would never know where the side lever is. Let me give you a hint. It's right here So it's kind of dished out you go ahead you reach your finger in there Operate it like so We've had tons of people give us calls on the phone and say how do I make this gun work? Right because people don't read the manual anymore We know that but the side lever super easy super simple and this sleek design and placement of it Really sets this gun apart and doesn't detract from the looks That's one thing that a lot of other manufacturers of PCP pistols kind of lack Where you know you get this big side lever bolt action type of deal hanging off of the gun Adamin has done a really fantastic job of integrating it into the gun nicely Reason number six and this is one of those new features I wanted to tell you guys about as you can see I've got some gold parts on my black pistol And I have some nice black pearl grips as well We actually started offering custom builds of the AP16 last year in 2020 So you can build this out to your heart's content you can swap the grip frame you can pick from different color Actions you can get different color trigger guard cylinders and barrels and of course as far as barrels and cylinders are concerned You can swap the colors as well as the sizes so you can do what I've done here and go with a full-size standard barrel on a compact cylinder or you can flip it so that you have full compact full standard we won't let you do the standard cylinder and the compact barrel just because Well, I don't know why you'd want to do that. It looks funny But anyway, you've got definitely a lot of grip options as well I think there's four or five right now So a ton of different stuff you can do with this and really get an AP16 that is built for you and last but certainly not least Reason number seven is this beautiful P2C kit now The P2C kit stands for pistol to carbine and that is really the kind of chassis housing that you see here lots of Picatinny rails and of course one of my favorite features Folding stock this makes the AP16 the probably one of the better backpacker guns out there You get yourself a compact scope you throw on you know your extra mags like I've done here with these 3d printed holders We don't sell these but they're out there. You can find them You could put lights by pods lasers whatever you want onto this thing We sell the Donnie FL suppressor adapter so you can throw a can of your choice onto the gun as well And you can really turn the AP16 into a beautiful compact little pesting rifle That is still very very small very easy to backpack and really just enhances the experience Now I know we told you guys said this was gonna be seven reasons why you need the AP16 But I'm gonna give you an eighth No matter what you think of Russia or Russians in general Our good friend Rustam over at Adam and is a pleasure to deal with one of my favorite people in the industry He's a really nice guy and hooks me up with sweet swag and vodka at shot show Which is a reason in and of itself why this is being included because he's the man and we like to support good people So by the AP16 because it makes everybody happy Rustam is happy.
