AEA .30cal ASSASSIN SEMI-AUTO AIR RIFLE 

I bought this gun in .25 cal and am super happy with it in semi-auto and does upward of 900fps. This is now my backpack gun; I just unscrew the moderator and it fits right in and out of sight. Yes, you got it right - AEA is catering to what the public wants and delivering it. This cannot be bad for the buyer.

The longer barrel making more power is true, to a point of diminishing returns. At a certain point the friction of projectile to lands and grooves begins to overwhelm the extra push gained. I have the same in 25 and pretty much use only slugs, 53 grain non hollow point can hit a soda can size at 80 yard all day long. I have played around with just about every size spring in it, except the sear. (OK I played with that too but returned to the original for reasons)

Great video and representation of the Assassin! Good work and great shooting especially those pesky squirrel shots. Thanks for being here, I really appreciate you 👍

You're spot on, on what they need to change, in my opinion. 1) regulated so as to take advantage of the fill capacity of the tank(s). 2)larger breech to accommodate a deeper magazine capable of holding a .900 slug (at least in their B&W S45/50's) to allow for the the Lehigh Defense premier Airgun game getters! 3) drop the 7mm needle refill, and adopt the HPA industry standard "Foster" fill nipple! 😉

Thanks for posting the video. You were shooting nearly spot on with the prairie dogs. The earlier rounds were likely due to trying to make a video which can be nerve racking. Plus, you're still getting used to your new gun. Cheers!

Thanks brother. This is a very nice rifle, at a excellent piece. 👍👍👍

Yes sir !!!!nice video will good to see you back bro assassin is looking good I have a assassin video coming soon hopefully tomorrow or the next day

They update the trigger force on new HP and new terminator. AEA make change with market feedback very quickly. If you keep measuring the velocity , you will find that although there is no regulator, the velocity is very stable. About four magazines have not big change

Excellent facts, display, reality,, Thank you Sir,,,, WOW

Awesome looking airgun! Very cool video! Hope you have a terrific week my friend! 🙏 D

Nice video presentation. AEA is definitely on my radar as a Star rising. They are doing SO much right.

After market mags and your golden with this gun. Lil shit has some power

oh yeah, I forgot to mention you can put an external regulator on these bad boys just like the RTX profit and the Umarex gauntlet air guns. Something to look into if you haven't already.

The one thing that sticks out to me in this video, is the finger dumbbell. I don’t know why, but man that had me laughing out loud!!👍

Wut up will . Great shootin. Awesome fabrication of your target. Stay cool bro .

Only thing I wish they would do that they said was going to be available is barrel kits, my gun has the 24 " barrel which is great super accurate 100 yards no prob, but if your in tight woods or varmints In barns it's a little much, I'd love a 16" barrel and even better would be the ability to switch calibers , a 16 in .30 or 35 would be awesome

No dis but this platform isn’t putting out the energy I expected to be honest. I expected 800+ FPS. Damn even my .25 cal LCS is putting out 70 FPE and I don’t even have it 1/5th of the way turned up. I do however love this platform. That folding stock is perfect. So compact!

My assassin shoots all over the place speed wise. At 3200 fill the speeds range from 715-585 fps on most 9 shot mags. I'm taking it to the range next week to sight it in then I'll post again.

I definitely got my eyes on one of these will be pulling the trigger on one soon, perfect gun for my style of hunting. Thank you for this video

I bought the hhss.30 cal + and it really hits hard! Havent had a chance yet to put over chronograph but at 20 yards she was very accurate and hard hitting! Thanks for video

Great review bud. I picked up the carbine in .25 not too long ago, added the carbon fiber bottle and a DonnyFL moderator and it has shot great out to 60 yards so far, over 1000 pellets and no hiccups. Only issue I had was it trying to cycle slugs, they weren’t seating all the way and getting damaged, no issues with pellets though. I just ordered the HP SS in .25 and should be here this week. Great guns

I'm looking at this one too. They do also have a bigger tank with more psi and then regulate it. Should be amazing

Light the compact ,light weight consept.grest video.

Like when you test the terminator, I think the magazine affects the accuracy. When you remove magazine.you will find the accuracy is very good. So it has nothing to do with the regulator. This is an effective test because you change to the hand reload , Its still a gun without regulator. If the accuracy is good, it's not a problem without regulator. It's a problem with magazines.

Are they ever coming out with high capacity mags. Mods. To get even more power. 28. Rounds. At. 990 fps. Dual bottle. Adapter. Regulated

My goodness it has been a long time but so glad to see you and I need to get one of those

Key word. (Fairly) good power

i always love your testing video. Very professional

A brother Will, hope all is well. Seems like it'd be a great hunting platform. Stay safe and stay blessed. 👍🇺🇲🤙✌

Excellent video thank you very much!

I was considering one of these for a while but then I realized something’s up with these and that they’re not as awesome as the RU-vidrs advertise since there’s a lot of them on the used market.

If I was to guess the problem with these air guns is the semi auto part and the magazine the timing in Wich it hit the pellet out is probably off and hit it slightly wrong every one try to say it's the magazine but if you single load it you also take the semi auto out of it. You probably can regulate easy if the tank is 18 1.5 they sell a reg that will go in line with the air rifle and tank. if they would have put paintball tank threads on the air rifle side Wich it doesn't have it could of been extremely adjustable regulated that would of been sick 👍👌✌️💯🎯🥂🇺🇸

I guess I'm jumping on the train too..🚂🚂

Great video brother 👍👍🇺🇸🇨🇦👍👍✌️

wich is your favorite pellet for this awesome gun? how many grains? thank you !

Great review, one thing I disagree with though is the benchrest comment, saying you would have to go to a different platform, I have a aea HP varmint with the 24-inch Barrel , I have polished the trigger and The Sear also with some experimenting I found some lighter trigger Springs and although of course it is still single stage trigger it breaks Crisp and true every single time, I have also upgraded to 500cc carbon fiber bottle ended up dropping one pound off of the gun and gave me the ability to fill to 4500 PSI with that I needed a regulator so I went with a Huma and I have it set right now at 160 bar ( 2320) psi , so that gave me the consistency of the same amount of air with every shot, I have also added a extended Magpul buffer tube and Magpul stock, while I was at it I eliminated the folder section as it had a little bit of Wiggle to it and that is not good for accuracy of course, and it has a 24-inch Barrel so it's not like folding that stock is going to make that much of a difference, saber tactical bottle clamp , Atlas bipod, and then topped off the gun with a Vortex scope ,after a lot of trial and error I found the jsb King heavy Mark 2 33.95 is the pellet that this gun loves, at 50 yards if I do my job I'm seeing 3/8 groups, that's pretty damn accurate with a 25 caliber pellet,The more I shoot and practice with this gun the more accurate I am getting , I've had it almost two years and I'm really glad I took a chance on a AEA, but getting more to my point I would definitely go up against FX brocock air arms Edgun in a amateur bench press competition anytime, an accurate gun is an accurate gun no matter who makes it

Hey ……Will….is SG still doing videos …I don’t see any of his videos anymore.

Nice little shooter.

I really like my AEA HP 25 cal Carbine with the 12" barrel, it's well broken in now and doing from 50-60fpe with my cast 34.5 grain NOE pellets. I've bagged quite a few red squirrels with it now and I'll be out with it this morning soon !!! AEA has some great guns for sure, I've also got the standard Challenger 357 that I'll be hunting deer with this year.

I’m way to much of an accuracy snob for this gun. If I can’t make Consistent head shots on birds/squirrels I’m out. Powder or air doesn’t matter. Gotta have that accuracy. But it’s a neat gun. Think I’m going to by the new sk19 in .30 🍻

Great presentation and review WILL that is one bad ass AEA 30cal compact , should get better group and accuracy when you find the right ammo Good to see you back Will Roman- 🎯

Nice stuff... Long time no see you

Ok so you know the question now. Is fx or any other companies have semi auto in the works for regulated?

So... from what I've read and seen on youtube, this HP assassin generates the same or very similar FPE as in .25 caliber. Could be?

Just emailed Fox yesterday. You CAN add a Huma regulator to these. I’M SOLD!!!

How hard is it to make it to remove the short barrel. Put on a long. If you want. Gaining. Two hundred fps. Can you get a back pack carbine. With a long. To short

Good job my friend.

I purchased one of those month or so ago and like the gun but wish it had some more power. I also have my first gun was Air Force Texan SS 45 caliber. So I was hoping around somewhere around high 900 ft per second into the 1,000 ft per second. I purchased this to go coyote hunting was needing around 100-150 foot pounds. Is there a longer 30 caliber barrel available and maybe heavier hammer spring to bring that power up?

Nice gun Will. I have gotten into the semiauto platforms yet. Not bad velocity for that short barrel.

Wondering how well of a shot count And accuracy improvements would you get from this gun adding a huma regulator. 🤔

These must really suck judging on the overwhelming number of these things on the used market. I wanted to buy one but thankfully the dealer was very unresponsive and I never acquired one. In retrospect money saved and disaster averted!

And how is te gun after one year,still working without problems?

Why type of energy, does the .30 caliber produce at muzzle?

Great review. I just bought one I would like to see a somebody try one with an external regulator and plenum. that way I would knw what parts to buy and settings to use? great to know the hatsan vortex work all JSBs where sold out or scalped on ebay. Thanks

Buen vídeo wil Para saber que no comprar una carabina no regulada Me quedo con la leshy 2 de edgun

I been thinking about getting a semi and this one would be good but I need to know if the trigger is good for double taps. Thanks Will.

Soo when are you going to review the cricket 2 tactical??? 😀😀🍻

💥COMPACT CANNON💥

Hey Will, thanks for the review. Quick question. Would you consider the .30 cal as a backyard friendly gun? Been looking at either the .25 or .30. Just want something pretty quiet. Not trying to spook the noisy neighbors, if you know what I mean.

Hey Roman , I can’t own firearm in my state - I feel life a need to prep 4 Zombie Apoc: and protect fam etc ... what air/pellet/pepper/rubber ball etc Airgun recommended if can only get 1x per category & best bang 4 the buck ;) Short range: 1x Pistol = Long range: 1x rifle = Prob Semi auto & enuf 🛑 power for home defense types , right ? Also Recommend Ie pistol cross-bow etc in addition to or instead of above ?? If so which make/model pls ? Any other Ie knives , spears, stars, sais, hatchets,sling shots etc..? And any other survival prep recommendations etc = 🙏

Can you make the aea air ruffles stronger? Example mine AEA HP.semi auto..30 cal CARBINE ?

Okay I seen enough either you're going too fast are your shooting a hundred fifty yards but I'll put my $300 Avenger up against this

Can you later buy & change with longer barrel?

Great video but I think I'm going to pass on this one I will stick with the Terminator it is more accurate and three times the power

Prairie dogs are about that size. .30 cal is alot of gun for that size. I just bought a Hatsan Invader in .25 cal a semi auto and haven't had issue yet. Haven't made any chromo's myself but I seen others vids of them and think there's some consistency per fill. I'm gonna do a accuracy test with it and see if I could get them headshots. They sent a pack of a hundred with it so i got to shot 'em. But cool vid watched every minute. -951

Hey will try jsbs mk2 pellets nice video 👍🏿

Do you have to have a gun permit in order to own one of those

Saya orang Indonesia Mr.. adakah disana di jual senapan itu yg sudah bekas pake harganya 5 juta rupiah?saya suka sekali dengan senapan bapak itu..saya tidak punya uang beli baru..!!👍👍

Can you ship to the Philippines. .nice review bro. thanks.

Hey this gun is great but It wont de cock by holding the bolt open pulling trigger and gently letting closed the bolt ? I have to hold the bolt closed and shoot it to de cock it. Is that normal for this gun? other wise it cycles fine shooting 48.8 grain pellets more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Oh and the safety doesn't engage unless the gun is cocked, is that normal? SIG Shooter has a Trigger clean up and safety adjust video but that's for the older version HP. Just looking for advise from any one whos done a trigger job thanks

I like hunting iguana's 🦎

I would spend extra $$$$ on those high end rifles. FX airgun or something......

Not a fx wildcat 30cal ,not bad for semi auto

We’re did you get the pic rail at sir

what is the decibel rating ?

Power output seems really low for 30 cal. A 22 Huben can push out 80 Fpe easy.

Not a. 22 not a. 25. It is a. 30 holly cow

Haumas i m the Malaysia

dose this shoot slugs

I meant jsbs hades in 30 cal will not mk2

Do you have to take the barrel off to clean it.

Can you ship here in the philippines,?

i'm in zephyrhills, florida,, where are you

Did you say you put the pressure up to 3300 psi? I saw on the specs of the gun say working pressure 1700-2600 psi.. I heard if it is higher or lower than this the gun will not cycle ? Is this the case ? ]

Can anyone point me in a good direction for shooting in the Detroit metro area?

Where can I get one of those

Không chụm

It appears to be a good gun for 20 to 30 yards… 50 yards on out that gun is unacceptable in my book..… Home defense, Predator poly mags…I can see that🎯

very disappointing. I just attempted to ordered this rifle and the purchase was declined because the company does not ship to Florida. this sucks big time.

FX will never again make a semi auto because of woke politics.

Terrible grouping

Aeas are not known for accuracy!

*it's extremely cruel of you to attack prairie dogs and squirrels. Despicable you are.*

Quick questions. I received my 30 cal AEA Carbine yesterday. Its a beast and shooting through two plys of wood, and a metal sheet. Too loud for back yard for sure so I was going to do a Donny FL Suppressor. I noticed up three quarter the way up barrel there is a connecting point for the shroud or is this a suppressor too? If I add a suppressor, do I need to take off the shroud or can I just put it onto the end using the Donny adapter? Also do you have a recommendation on what Donny to use with this gun? Thanks

Good video brother, much respect on your reviews cuz I know is for real and not Fluff like others. Anyway, I have been looking at AEA for a while. They look like a good air rifle company definitely stands behind their product, but I just don't think the accuracy is there yet. Probably when they come out with models with regulators the accuracy will improve A lot. In the future, I probably will get one just not this generation yet. Good seeing you making videos again.
