Kral NP02 - Better than an FX for less than £400? Massive shot count and fantastic accuracy. 

My mate bought one yesterday, scattered like shotgun, barrel full of thick thick grease, after dozens of pull through its absolutely fantastic! Pellet on pellet at 25 yards, that's the length I got to shoot out my garden, 330 quid brand new absolutely fantastic.

Bought one for my son - in - law for crimbo 2 years ago .. fantastic little rifle , idea woodland / barn tool , great shot count , needs silencer ( don't know what the thing on the end of the barrel is , defo aint a barrel weight , neither is it an air stripper ) pellet selection is a must , at least in my son in laws , took a while ( not too long ) to find the perfect pellet for it ( if there is such a thing ) .. trigger could do with a fettle , but aint that bad , magazine better then FX .. all you have to look out for really is not to over fill with air , there's a burst disc that ( I suppose ) bursts , and apparently , unless your competent at fixing PCP's , its off the the gunsmith for a replacement , all in all an excellent rifle , well , I wouldn't have bought it for him without the research ... which only leaves me to say Merry Xmas and an Happy ( and healthy ) new year .. ..

I have a Kral Puncher Breaker. The Kral has excellent consistency, even being unregulated.

Had two of these and still got one. I suggest you give the barrel a good clean, especially with a new gun. Krals come through pretty greased up down the tube. Good clean and those groups will tighten up dramatically, believe me. And l echo what you say, Chris, about FX guns, but also many other high-end guns too. See lots of snobbery at my range. But l group at worst equal, at best tighter. Kral guns are excellent!!!

Hi Chris, What, an honest and daring review! Great, brand..you made it more outstanding in this bold and honest review KUDOS to you sir! I, have a Kral Jumbo puncher in .177 didn't shoot much with it,..but now seeing your interview, I will shoot it some more with my Hades jsb 10.34 grain. Right, on Chris!

Hi Chris,again very good shooting,nice little air rifle and a real bit of a bargain under £400,all cased etc.a lot more than ideal starter gun,I'd love to have had one of these when i started shooting air rifles (too many years ago to say)and looking at the target results I'd say it likes the JSBs,kind regards Phil.

I have one of these in 22 and love it

Hey chris great to see you testing rifles under £600 as not everyone especially married can have budgets over 2 grand with scope , wish i has read this review 6weeks ago when i bought my gamo coyote , as maybe the np02 is a better choice , but to late now and still a decent starter rifle for me matched with the hawke airmax 30 wa sf 6x24x50 , anyway m8 keep up those sub 600 reviews aswell as the cream , before you get slammed i think you have been very fair . Oh and merry xmas to you and your family ,,,

The lever on the left is brilliant for right handers from my minimal experience with these.

Try the ATA airborne, quite a similar gun in a way ( probs made in the same factory) it's a brilliant rifle for 400, maybes a little heavy but the trigger is lovely!

Hi Chris.Great review.Kral have got a good reputation with the manufacturing of Airguns.Quality stocks and metal work.I think more people would buy if they were regulated.but for a for an unregulated gun…Fantastic value. Atvb and hope you’re enjoying Christmas👍🏻😁

I’ve had mine for 4 months now and love it! The Air Arms Diablo Field 8.4 gr pellets produce hole on hole shots. From 100 feet you can group around 10p sized coin. Every time of 50p shots I use one shootable wad cleaner. I have a Bisley 3ft air tank to top up. The most shots from one 200 bar fill was 232 to the red. The sweet spot starts at 160bar for the shots. 👍

I have one of these in sub12 - 22 cal, it is my go to gun for ratting at night and were I don't need to use FAC power, however as it is a sub 12 I wont use it to target vermin beyond 30 yds as the grouping does open up a little, it likes most pellets but especially Polymag shorts for ratting - my cousin liked it so much I sold it to him and immediately bought another

Watching from philippines sir Merry Christmas happy new year sir Ay wish more subscriber sir for you

I like my NP02 but there are things about it that irk me. The cocking lever in the left is annoying as a right handed shooter. Having to move my whole body at the bench just to clock it is tiresome. While standing I have to take my left hand away from the forestock causing the rifle to drop. If the cocking lever was on the right I could use my right hand while keeping the rifle on target as I do with my RM8. The other thing is the fact that it doesn’t hold its air. I can fill it and after a day it’s lost most of its pressure. This might be rectified with a service but I’ve only put a tin of pellets through it so it shouldn’t need to be stripped. I will say that it’s a nice accurate gun to shoot and with a silencer it doesn’t make much noise at all. I do wish they made a shorter buddy bottle for it to reduce the length of pull.

What an honest review/opinion

I know my comments are late on this video. But have U done a vid wich shows the differences when change the speed/using the power wheel ?? Or will U do a vid about this ??? Thousands will be happy to see this !!!!!! Maybe on a FAC version this makes more sense ! Greetings from Norway

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎Have a good Christmas and New Year Chris!

Accuracy\powa suckz cuz of short barrel its not rifle its bulpup size pistol, so can't understand why to get this instead of kral empire, kral empire xs, kral breaker? Why? U can get same size same price better rifle... Update: i was wrong) got empire X, good accurate gun but extremely heavy 🪨 and uncomfortable, sold it now looking for np02😂

Hi. I love this short gun because of the look and the shortness :)) . At 5:42 that must be a flyer/spiral !?? The QYS pellets where this brand come from ?? I use a brand called "Artemis"! 8.6 gr. Very cheap but deadly accurate in my FX Bobcat MK II .22 ( 16 gr. ) and in both of my HW 77 .177 and .22 cal ! Both HW´s are tuned down from 18/19 fpe to sub 12 . Much better to shoot specially the .177. There was so much twang !!!!

You should try the hades , in my npo2 .22 there amazing at 30 ,40 yards

Glad you've found Kral , do yourself a great big smiley favour and try the jumbo and empire X your really , really going to love those 😁😁🤘

I brought one last week put 1000 round through it. 40 50 60 yards it brilliant just as good as by bsa r10 . Found no problems with it so far. I have had pellet on pellet at 40 yards where im zeroed ... it loves AA pellets jsb and hades. Love the gun. Only thing i dont like is the 1 shot try. You have to put it in on the right side but cocking it on the left so your hands are all over the place... but who cares it awesome.. and just to say ill take anyone on with an fx down the range anytime...

What's best , this it the extending shot/less air version?

Was the barrel cleaned before you used it? If not, a quick half-dozen pull-throughs would have improved accuracy even more. Krals are always greased up - Turkey is a long way to travel from!

Hi Chris hope you’ve had a awesome Christmas 🎄🤘🏻 Would you recommend the NP02 for dropping rabbits 🐇 🐰 ? Also have a awesome new year 🍻

I have a back injury. Went to my local gun shop looking for a Bullpup, to keep the weight close. Was looking at the hatsan flash pup, but he recommended this (cheaper too, props to Range and country, Sleaford) instead. I’m a left hooker and this doesn’t feel at all like a compromise. Swapped my scope over and went mad in the back yard. It *feels* quality compared to the hatsan. It’s slightly heavier, but the weight is all in that tank, so no issue. Couldn’t be happier finding it has reviewed well, not just here, but everywhere.

£ for £ mine is without a shadow of a doubt the best i have owned and have had many high end over the years, i picked mine up new March 2021 for £330, phenomenal!!!!

Check out Avenger bullpup it's also a usd 400 can shoot one hole at 50 yds.

I want to do some ratting. I can't decide if I should get the Kral NP02 or the Kral Puncher Pro 500. Can anyone help me make a decision please?

You need a silencer (The Patent named it as a "Silencer", so That is what it is), they are loud.

got mine today =)

There's someone on ebay selling aftermarket magazines. They work much better than the kral ones. Which are fragile and break easily. Pay off is you need high mounts for the scope as they're bit chunkier. And half price of the kral ones

You love to slate fx but my Dreamline and maverick are easily comparable to my dads red wolf so much so he got a Dreamline for himself too

So would you buy one?

Got one Thursday. Incredible rifle for the paper. Can't see the point in paying a grand plus for a sub 12 rifle. Cheaper than a high end Springer and nicer to shoot, ok about the same price if you need a bottle as well but much better.

It doesn't like those pellets your feeding it mate!

Np02 or jumbo hi cap in 22🤔

2000pounds airguns arent worth it.

Anythings better than an fx.

I dont think this is as accurate as my springer, personally if I were investing in a pcp I think the AA S400 classic is far better

you can get one new off gunstar for £325...any day of the week these days

Oh dear.......at 15:55 😁 but the truth is hard to swallow !! In my case FX Bobcat MK II I´m disagree ! I´v no experiences with other FX air guns. If U feel so U have to say it !!!!! U welcome in my world ! I lost "Friends" because I told what I mean !!!!! Who cares ! Not real friends who jump of the board! I guess.

Not what I'd call VERY accurate. Just decent. That thing groups the samr at 30m as what I group at 100m and Im a terrible shot.

better than an fx? no.

Better than an FX.....😂😂😂 crack pot, never mind crack shot. If my Impact M3 grouped like that, I would throw it in the bin. Look, the Kral is a fine budget gun, but be real.

i will stay with my fx guns. they all shoot better than that one. i do like the red wolf.

ugly gun

It's everyone's right to have ones own opinion but if I was your sponsor I wouldn't be after that lol. brave man... how you can say a sub 400 can compare to say an FX M3 impact ? Well I'm flabbergasted. Unsubscibing from your channel. Learn to shoot correctly before you can give an educated evaluation. Happy New year.
