Courtesy of its selected German match-grade barrel, and weight and position-adjustable trigger, accuracy is exceptional; the Atomic XR can punch single-hole five-shot groups in excess of 30 metres. As standard, its shrouded barrel includes an adaptor to take an additional silencer that reduces muzzle report to a whisper.

Its side lever action is effortless – and cycles the 11-shot (.22 cal.) magazine in a split second. For more deliberate target work, the Atomic XR is also supplied with a single shot loading tray.

The Atomic features an 11mm top rail for scope mounting, but it can be fitted with Brocock’s Picatinny rail kit to take additional accessories, such as day/night scopes. Its one-piece, machined alloy piece chassis also sports an integrated Picatinny rail for add-ons like a laser, torch, bipod etc.

The Atomic XR is designed to deliver rifle-level results from a handgun-size platform. In short, it’s the ’magnum pistol’ of the airgun world!

* Specification will vary from country to county; some territories restrict air pistol output by law (The Atomic pistol is not available in the UK).
