Page 2 - Kral Arms Puncher Breaker Silent Reviews

I like the compact design and length. The rifle is well built. The trigger is surprisingly crisp and very light. The magazine is easy too load. The picatinny rail is a plus for scope mounting options. I installed a Nikon P-Tactical scope with one piece cantilevered mount that gave good eye relief and zeroed easy. My order from PA was filled and delivered quickly with approximately 150bar which was enough to zero and test the power level settings(20 shots) before reaching 100bar.

The few things I would change about this rifle would be (1)the cocking lever, it is far back and a bit clunky. You have to remove the rifle from your shoulder to cock and requires some effort. (2)The pressure gage has you looking down the barre to fill. I would prefer on the side or bottom. (3)The forearm picatinny rail, as many have pointed out, does not mount securely and is not a good foundation for a bipod.

I purchased the .25Cal because the .22Cal was not available. The .25 hits hard. Punched holes through two sheets of 3/8 inch plywood, I had for backstop, at full power. They should not call this model silent. This rife is as loud as a .22 long rifle. I ordered a DonnyFL Sumo for it.

I like the ergonomic design, it points well and is easy to carry. It is a well built rifle, the scope rail is made of strong aluminum alloy, as is the receiver of the gun, not cheap pot metal. The cocking lever is made of steel and the cocking mechanism seems well built. The trigger pull was nice out of the box, about 3 pounds with very little take up. The trigger adjustment is easy to do, as the gun dissembles from the stock with one 5mm allen bolt, (with the provided wrenches) The magazines are easy to load, I purchased the 25 cal. model and had no loading or feeding problems. I like the ability to adjust the power level, if you are target shooting, you can turn the power down about half way for more shots, or for hunting, you can use full power. The extra magazine storage on the front of the stock(synthetic models only) is a nice feature.

I think the only things I would change is where the pressure gauge is located, to re-locate it on the side of the rifle instead of on the front of the air chamber, and to use a Foster fitting to fill the rifle instead of a probe.

Keep your fill probe clean and buy a female Foster fitting to install on the probe and some Silicone grease from Pyramid air to put on the "O" rings, (just a very fine film of grease) and store the probe in a plastic bag. Keep dirt off of your fill probe and magazines and this rifle will function perfectly. I needed a one inch tall riser mount and high scope rings to mount my UTG 4-16x40 scope, that I purchased from Pyramid air, on my rifle, to get a good view through my scope.

Shot count on clip is on the left side. You don't have to clime over gun to see how many shots are left. (like my Benjamin Armada)

Put a stronger screw in barrel sleeve. Mine sheared off where Allen wrench goes in.

I 3D printed baffles off of thingiverse, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2586045 to make a suppressor for a Kral Puncher Bigmax and reduced the print size to .750 re-drilled the bore size to .312 for .25 caliber The pressure sheered the set screw on the sleeve. I then replaced with a small Phillips screw. Works fine now. I love this rifle.

Great pcp at 25yds I am getting pellet on pellet on at least three different pellets in the mid weight grain I had no idea what air gunning was until my first pcp tnx p/a oh forgot to mention I have the kral puncher breaker silent it is actually a refurb I think a refurb sometimes is better than new it gets all of the bugs out

NOTHING

This rifle is called the kral puncher breaker silent but personally I have 22rifles quieter Unless you turn down the power still impressed

High shot count, compact, hand pump works for this. Seems durable. Cycles nice and smooth. Solid gun.

The vendor I purchased it from (PA) Rifle arrived with a damaged shroud and both magazines were missing.

It is hand pump friendly if your at least 200lbs. It is heavy and loud! This is not backyard friendly even at low power. No moderator its just 3 inches of deadspace in shroud. Easy to take apart, easy to tune. Apply loctite to small screw on cocking lever.

When first unpackaged the air gun looked great. The instructions were clear and simple to understand. I like it came with two magazines.

The quality of the air gun was poor. It wasnt as silent as I would have expected. The air cylinder started to leak after 10 shots. I was pretty disappointed and quickly returned the item.

I was impressed with pyramid air customer service, they were quick and efficient on the return.

The good : Got mine from pyramid air on sale for $379 plus tax Christmas sale . Received it cleaned barrel , aired up . Ran .22 Air Arms 16 gr across chronograph got 980 fps way to hot for me . I find the 16 gr shoot better for me around 900 fps out of all of my guns . Got the hammer spring adjusted for 900 fps 29.78 fpe with transfer port on max . Ran string of 3 mags , 36 shots across chronograph extreme spread of 13 fps ! that's better than my regulated guns . Wow ok never seen that before May be on to something here . Accuracy i hate shooting bull pups very awkward for me , signing in with UTG 3X12 swat scope high rings . In side, 50 yard 5 shot groups . 600 and under , several .500 and a few .400 .Very impressive . Tyler was right may be the king of the low cost bull pups . Hate to say this out loud but it looks like it will keep up or surpass other bull pups costing way more . Fit finish trigger very good no parts breakage after 1000 shot cycles.

Maybe a little more silent . There are silent kits available , I don't find it to be objectionable on high power some may. On half power it's even quieter

The bad : developed a leak in 30 degree weather . It was leaking around the burst disk on the air cylinder . Removed air cylinder snugged up burst disk didn't take much. That is the most common place for a leak .Very easy fix just don't over tighten ! The ugly : magazines 2 of them , clear faces where the winding pin goes through has a good size crack from the pin being pressed in . Magazines work flawlessly no function problem just looks . I bought a spare from Pyramid Air no crack in the face of that one . Bottom line : I agree with what Tyler and Steve say on there video reviews about this Krawl Puncher Breaker . My own experience and use of this PCP has been amazing for me . I think it punches way out of its weight class for accurately and value and build quality . Is it perfect no , no air gun is . But it's close enough for me with out breaking the bank , no pun intend .

This is a fantastic PCP bullpup! I got the .25 Cal and I am very pleased with it! It's a hard hitting gun, perfect for hunting, and can deliver it's punch easily beyond 50yds accurately. Using JSB Exact Kings or Predator Polymags it will take out squirrels to 40yds at about 2/3 power, giving you a good combination of power and shot count. If you need to go further, go full power and you're good out to about 80yds! The build quality is good for the price, but not as polished as higher priced guns, which isn't a bad thing for a field gun. It's sturdy, so you don't need to baby it. The ergonomics makes it comfortable and easy to handle, and the forend compartment for an extra mag is a nice touch and comes in quite handy! The side lever action is smooth and easy to operate. It cocks and loads a pellet from the magazine reliably. Filling the gun with air is simple, but a little cumbersome due to the filler probe style. Applying some silicone grease on the orings makes it a little better.

I wish it had a regular foster fill port instead of the probe adapter it comes with. The safety could be located better, instead of being way back to the rear, but not a deal breaker. The gun isn't loud, but the moderator internals could be better designed to quiet it down more. Investing in a 3rd party "quiet kit" hushes the gun to where it should be. The picatini rail needs to be raised up higher so a riser would t be necessary.

You will need a male foster fitting and washer to use the included fill probe!!! Also, besides using medium to high scope rings, I suggest ordering a picatini riser as well! I ended up using a 1" riser with high rings to align the scope with my eye perfectly. Also, with this much height you can use practically any size objective you want without spacing issues!

I really enjoy shooting this .22. It is dead on at 40yds with a 1/2 group of 10 shots using a utg IR scope at 4x. Was bought for squirrel hunting very manuverable in the brush and wooded areas.

Nothing found in almost 2 years

You will need a quick disconnect for the fill probe for pump, tank or compressor. Pyramydair # PY-A 3550 should do the trick.

Compaq really good shooting gun

A little bit heavy for its size but that’s OK

My advice for PCP owners and newcomers purchase from pyramid air they are great with helping you if you have a problem thank you

Appearance, balance when mounted, power, ergonomics

Can't think of anything at this point.

I just received this gun, after ordering the other model with the wood stock in .22 cal. I ordered this one in .177 cal, and so far I've only been shooting it at half power, and I am astounded with it's accuracy and power!

Terrific rifle from a terrific seller!. Velocity is better than 1020 on the "10for10" (PA used 11.9 grain 22 cal pellets). I got 90 shots with very good grouping when shooting at 1/4 power in my 10 yard in-home range. 1/4 power had more impact than my Marauder pistol so I assume that velocity was also superior). This took me down to 100 bar. Slide action was perfect with no feeding problems. At 1/4 indoors, sound is only slightly greater than the Marauder pistol--- very acceptable.The incredible patience of PA tech people when I needed them.

Very minor items: Add something to lock mags when cycling the action (mags might slide out of position if gun is tilted). Improve adjustablity of cheek-rest (it is on a dovetail type rail, but does not move easily).

When you rotate dust cap you will encounter two filler ports. I found that one port worked, and the other didn't. !" high rings are a requirement because the cheek-rest is at about the same level as the scope rail. Please be aware that I am NOT an expert and have only had the gun for two weeks. Get a Nomad compressor--- it makes filling a joy.

This is my third Kral rifle and I love them all. It is extremely accurate with most pellets. I have put about a thousand pellets in it now and have had no problems.

I wish you didn,t have to put extra high scope mounts on it to get the correct eye alignment

The Kral rifles have an exceptional trigger that is very easy to adjust. Justr take it slow as a very small adjustment makes a big difference.

The puncher breaker is short, very accurate, feels good in the hands, well balanced and packs a punch.

Not much wrong with the breaker. If they could shave maybe a pound off the weight and lift the top rail for better eye relief it would be perfect.

Very nice, compact, perfect for what I use it for!

I ordered the puncher breaker silent I think it should be silent. Dont think you should have to get the quiet kit separate. I think it should live up to its name and be more silent.

For a starter pcp its perfect not to expensive definitely worth the money!!!!

Very accurate, the side lever is silky smooth.

This was my first bullpup. I'm not really a fan of the design, I wish I had tried one out before purchasing, but it's growing on me the more I shoot it.

You will more than likely need high or extra high scope mounts to get a good sight picture. Pullpup does not mean lightweight. Very loud, I will be adding a suppressor when funds allow.

I purchased a puncher breaker in. 25 cal. Got the 10 for 10 test. It shot 890-- 872 for 10 shots. The 1st gun had a air leak. I didn't want to wait for it to be fixed, so had another one shipped. This one shoots 920----901 fps on the same 10 dollars for 10 shots from Pyramid Air. This is using 20 gr H&N pellets. Thats pretty fast for .25 Cal. I would have been happy with 800 fps with that big pellet. The .25 is much larger than .177,or .22 when you see it in person. No problem with my gun and it's very accurate

Nothing

It's well worth the money

Great gun but after 10,000 shots had a valve fail inside parts are available at pyramydair under warranty 0 problem

Nothing

Shoots 1 inch groups at 100 YARDS DONT CLEAN THE BARREL ENJOY THE GUN

Very accurate. Plenty of power. Adjustable power output. Compact form. Very quiet but, still very noticeable. 2 magazines included. Clever magazine storage in stock. Good trigger feel. Just plain fun to shoot. Amazingly powerful.

Magazine somewhat prone to jamming if you use conical pellets like the H&N Grizzly. If cocking lever is retracted the magazine can move and cause a feed jam even with diabolo pellets. This is a heavy airgun. Chrome cocking lever while everything else on the gun is black. Cheek pad only usable if you use a scope with risers on the mount.

This is a huge value for the money. Very accurate and a delight to shoot. Great for hunting small to medium sized game. I know of at least 1 large deer taken with the .25 cal version. If you're wanting a bull pup on a budget then this is the airgun for you.
