Kral NP02 Review Big Dan's Airguns 

Excellent video and review. You've just helped me choose my next compact hunting rifle👍

Another great video. I purchased a kral puncher maxi after your review on it. This is going to be my next air rifle later in the year.

Excellent review and some great shooting Dan been looking at these and may just have to get one 👍🏻

Got a night shift so thanks for Something to watch Mate 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Really good review , really enjoyed it 👍👍

Love watching your videos. Keep up the cracking work. Would love to see you test the kral puncher knight in the same Indepth reviews.

Very good review Dan, I have shot one at my gun club. Totally agree with you, amazing gun at a cracking price. Good place to start owning a PCP at the price

Just bought one. £320 brand new. Pellet on pellet accuracy ( air arms Diabolo Field) and dropped a pigeon like a rock at 25y. I have a bad back, from botched surgery, and whereas it’s not the lightest, it keeps all its weight close. So no issue at all. Had a Remington Express springer before, and it’s a hell of a rifle, but would niggle my back after a short while. I’ve put a tin of pellets through this and not a whimper from my back. But a massive smile on my front!

I got one of these little Krals about 2 years ago. It's definitely a lot of gun for the money. I run mine on a diet of AA Exacts 4.52, which grouped ok. I changed to 4.53s and the groups tightened up. Then I got a custom air stripper for it from Rowan. The group's tightened again, but now it's LOUD !!!..... Though it's far from perfect, it's still a great little gun.

I’ve had mine two weeks and that two has the match trigger. 160 shots on the first fill up then to play safe I had it filled. I love the compact feel of the rifle and the rear bottle balances it very nice. It’s very accurate and it liked the JSB Diablos more than anything else but I now have some Air Arms Diablo Field to use. Also had good results on the RWS flat heads for ratting. I did pay over the odds but only found this out after it’s purchase. No regrets though. Weihrauch mod calms it down. It feels heavy in its own supplied case so have a soft tactical slip. Worth its money. Bought for ratting and so far very good. Just an update. I’ve just had my 4th recharge. 232 .177 shots. Air Arms Diablo Field 8.4 grains are the rifles choice for shot on shot. My backstop has been 20mm wood which I have had to double up as it was punching a hole through! Now zeroed at 56 feet on the Hawke fast mount 3x9x40 scope centre dot. To hit where the rats come in is closer at 40 feet which is one mil-dot below, for bang on accuracy. Love it. Shop around for the cheapest deal though as I paid £575 for the rifle, silencer and scope. I could have saved £125 or more. Anyway I’m loving it and that’s all that counts.

Had one for 3 years now , chistmas presant of the wife. I really like the rifle i was running a hawk 4-16 x 50 on the rifle but decided to change it for a vector optics veron 4-12 × 44 fits the NPO2 great .

Got to say im impressed,i have the empire xs in .177 ans thats just as sweet. No where near the shot count obviously, but again dam good pest control rifle with a lovely walnut stock. Love to see you do a review on it as i do believe your reviews make the best watch 😎👍

Love the gun I have the Kral jumbo puncher con from Ireland.

Fantastic little gun I’m getting 10 pence size groups at 42 yards indoors with JSB 4.51 pellets I have an A&M twink silencers fitted making it near silent

nice one dan have a good weekend

I've got this gun in my collection and I'm also a massive fan, it's great for getting rid of vermin and the shot count lasts forever

Neat little rifle. It kind of reminds me of the AA s410/510 TDR.

damn you do good reviews👍

They are a tidy little rifle , bought one for my son-in-laws Xmas box a.few years back , think it has the earlier trigger , because it was ( and as far as I know still Is ) a bit stiff .. needs a bit of fettling to get it right , but that ain't for me to do , he seems happy with it ( his first ever gun ) , personally a good old sear polish , and maybe a specially weighted titanium spring ect ect .. I love it .. aint had much time with it , but the time I have had with it ... 8/10 all day ... needed moderator and scope ( sorted them for him anawl ) excellent rifle ... may , just MAY get me a used one , if only to fettle around with and maybe a very sympathetic refurbish dependant on condition ..

Kral Empire XS looks an awesome little bullpup

I got one in 177 and love it I will put it up against any of my other guns ( fx M3 fx dreamline hw100) out to 30 metres. Like you said its loud lol but what a gun. Nice review Dan 👍

It has its place but the Air Venturi Avenger is a much better option in my book for overall value for dollar in my opinion or the Nova Vista Alpha. Bang for buck brother. Thanks for another awesome review. Stay blessed.

Hilarious man! Fan from the U.S.

Hi Dan after watching your video on the hw97 I'm going to order a blue laminate end of July....but after that I'm possibly going to get one of these in 2024 back end possibly got to have a trio of rifles with the remington sabre being my first

Great little gun and accurate what more do you want for the money.

It still looks a big 'un in your hands Dan. Mega rifle.

I think for the cash these are unbeatable for say a ratting gun etc.

I have just purchased one of these in .177 hence i am reading reviews now that are a bit dated lets say but for any one else out there whos just accuired one or thinking about it this might help you. This is my first pcp but my previous experience 25 odd years is with springers. Wanted to try a pcp and decided i wanted a bullpup for the reduced size and look i suppose. I decided i wanted something like a gamo boxer or the likes so went to my local gunshop uk. I shouldered a few bullpups a gamo and a snowpeak i think and instantly they felt odd and then i shouldered the kral np02 mk2 (with a better trigger). Yes i liked it straight away, felt right, the cocking lever on the left all though i am right handed felt better and i shoot off the bench mostly so again this was very quick reloading for me. The air capacity is 530cc which is higher than the other bullpup designs i had looked at, the gun looked traditional to me nice wallnut stock, nice finish great. Got it home shot it was loud and it needed a moderator. Allready threaded no problems. Ended up putting a brocock brk short mod on it because others affected accuracy off my spring rifles including a weirauch moderator all giving flyers. Is this a pcp thing? Put a hawke 3x9x50 ao ir scope on it with high mounts (gives your fingers a bit more room for mag changes) gave the barrell a good pull through untill clean, then shot accupells down range and proved to be very accurate, trigger can be given a bit more 1st stage if you take the stock off. Just gave it a bit of tlc really lubing pivot points. Mags work fine, single shot tray takes a bit of getting used too but the gun really has grown on me excellent bit of kit and i am a springer snob i will admit. Just be carefull with moderators, if your groupings seem a bit off try a different moderator(or take it off too prove a point) now mine has had some lead down the barrell in sub 12 a 14 shot mag at 25 meters groups so i can just about put my finger in the hole. Im new to pcp,s and have never been this accurate with springers so feel boosted about the sport to say the least,(sorry about the essay)

Prefare my np02 over my kt. Mags are crap but carm replacements are brilliant. Hw silencer and a 3 point harness finishes off a top piece of kit.

This seems like a good option as a tool for rat control. If 200+ shots per fill isn't enough for the task at hand then you've got serious problems. I might be interested in looking at alternative bottle stock options and/or suitable alternative high pressure bottle options for use at the rear of the gun.

This one seems to cry out loud for a synrh stock version ? Amazing almost-bull-pup package ! Big THX, Dan !

Hi Dan. Really great review. Can you get the NP-02 in sub 12 Ft/Lb .25 Cal. In the UK?

Hey Dan can you do that shot count again please mate ? 😂😂😂😂, Looks a lovely little gun that one , thanks for the vid Dan and your time

Would like to see you review the Webley Nemesis X PCP.

I always found a longer length of pull was better on a pistol-grip type stock, but should you have one and can't get on with it (there are a few second hand ones in the rfds for that very reason) then it may be worth looking for the alternative butt-pieces available, I'm sure I saw an NP02 with one of these included, they're used on the Gunpower/Airforce range of guns and some paintball guns. Personally, I'd get an adapter and fit one of those small regulated paintball tanks and just fill it slowly from there, not the front fill, who needs that many shots on a day out?

I've a question for you Dan - have you any recommendations for bipods? cheap v expensive, what to buy, what not to buy (UK outlets)?...cheers

No surprise with the Norma pellets as they are made by RWS and look to be the same as RWS Superfield though I cannot confirm that. I would say as near as makes no difference. I actually like that gun. I am favouring more compact rifles due to age and disability. Quite fancy one in .177 but I am going to have to part with a couple of my current rifles.......so the 'strife' informs me. So hard to part with guns you have a long history with.

Hi Dan! Sorry it's out of context, but is there any chance of reviewing the new BSA Meteor Super? I'm loving the look and knowing you're a fellow springer fan, I'd love to know what you think of it and your reviews are far better than any out there.

Hey dan so I currently own a Kral NP02 and after seeing your Reximex review, I went and held one and shot one I WANT ONE! In the walnut finish. Do you do have any sources that'll help me sell my gun. It is in PERFECT condition. Any help or advice would be appreciated 🔥 Keep up the good content

I have one. Whilst its not the prettiest thing. Its not a bad looking gun. The stock is a lovely bit of walnut. I ike the safety, though its a bit stiff. Ok to around 30m less accurate after. Hate the magazines. Very fragile. Some 3d printed ones much nicer, but need rather high scope mounts.nice tool over all.

Given how similar it is, I'd be interested to see a comparison between this and the Reximex Myth.

Nice video and good review. I wouldn't be happy with any of them groups at that range. Not sure why there is a flyer with every group either.

Could you do a review of the JTS airacuda max in .177 ,its a great rifle .

A 20"/500mm barrel will extract lots of power and reach from each pellet. A foldable stock and using the bottle as SCUBA would be nice work...

Alright Dan any chance you'll do a hw100 wouldn't mind seeing a review from you on one

is there a carbon bottle option to get the weight down?

If I was to ever get a PCP I would either get one of these or if compactness wasnt an issue then I would get an ATA airborne.

How do you think would this compare to a walther rm8 varmint?

I thought the np02 came with a mount in the bottom to attach a bipod

So only just spent today resisting air rifles in my rfd and then big dan puts out a vid on this gem at a bargain price my poor wallet

out of curiosity could you fit a longer barrel from another kral to quiet it down plus a moderator/silencer and would that help with accuracy thanks.

Can try to test the kral puncher maxi in .177, thinking of getting one and selling my smk xs38 underlever

Dive bottles have to be checked every five years. I think this done to reduce the chances of of one rupturing and exploding. Is a buddy bottle next to a person's head a good idea especially one that has the valves/neck near the eyes?

Hi Dan, may I ask a silly question regarding shooting Air rifles..? I fully understand there’s a power limit but after watching another you tuber explaining the “legalities” around owning, carrying and shooting an air rifle I’m feeling a bit despondent, I’m 70 but have no garden to plink in and according to the legalities I’m not allowed to set up some cans or a target on some waste ground or common field “if” other members of public could be using it…? So where in gods name can someone plink stuff in England without getting arrested?

Great review and a good gun for the money but not the prettiest thing is it!!

Coupled to a NV008 LRF it is my No.1 Pesting TOOL, but I would not be seen out with it at a range ? you know what I am saying (UGLY) you missed out another minor gripe ? the proximity of the cocking lever to the Mag. The NV008 is bad glass with little choice of magnification and no field of view, that also WORKS in any conditions, the NP02 is pig UGLY, together "WHAT" a tool. ;-) OK I am a gun snob ? they have to be pretty ;-) Tip;- RWS 5.52 good price, good results, no damaged skirts.

I forgot this thing existed

Can you fill the front tube and then take off the rear bottle?

Great review. Can the bottle be detached whilst it is full and then reattached, for packing purposes?

Would anyone say this is better than the pretensis??

At that price, it’s a much better product then Jet two that’s very close to that price. Same power range plus a never ending shit count. I’m pretty new and ignorant. Can this be tuned up to much higher velocities for us rednecks in southeast states? Thanks

More tidy shooting there Dan! Is there nothing you can't shoot?!!

Impressive Dan, but I'm a short arse with short stubby arms, so from your comments on pull length, It's probably not going to fit me!

@ 33:14 I'd say you have a 6 shot group. Nice little gun, heavy but robust as usual when they are made in Turkey . :-)

Looks like another cracker from kral . verey impressive.

Might be a little irrelevant.... When are we going to see big Dan testing the Norica Omnia?

How much this item

Maybe you should buy an anti-aircraft gun!

Hi what's your web address please I would like one of these I hate my Gamo Phox

After a few months this Kral will suffer from hammer stutter, under powering and cocking lever failure so allow another £150 for repairs. Nevertheless it is surprisingly accurate, looks good and has a huge air reserve but its cheap price has its drawbacks. Baz.

This must be the ugliest gun ever I’m a small guy from shoulder to trigger think be to much reach for me got the smk victory not bad.

Repent to Jesus Christ! Are you a sinner? Luke 5:32 King James Version 32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Luke 13:3 King James Version 3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
