Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key specifications of the Hatsan Bull Tac shotgun?

The Hatsan Bull Tac is a 12 gauge pump-action bullpup shotgun, over 28 inches long, weighing 7 pounds dry. It holds five 2.75-inch shells in the magazine plus one in the chamber. It features a detachable carry handle with accessory rails and adjustable iron sights with a fiber optic front post.

How accurate is the Hatsan Bull Tac with its iron sights?

Accuracy tests using Federal Law Enforcement rifled slugs showed the Hatsan Bull Tac's iron sights to be functional. Acceptable groups were achieved at 7, 30, and 70 yards, with a notable group also recorded at 100 yards, indicating reasonable precision for its class.

What is the main reliability concern with the Hatsan Bull Tac?

The primary concern is the tendency for two roll pins, which secure the pump action to the action bars, to work loose. This issue was observed during dry firing and testing, posing a significant risk of the pump becoming detached and rendering the shotgun inoperable.

Can the Hatsan Bull Tac reliably cycle mini shotgun shells?

No, the Hatsan Bull Tac failed to cycle 1.75-inch mini shells during testing. While it can hold a larger quantity of these shorter shells, the feeding and ejection mechanism did not function reliably, which is a disappointment for users interested in short shell versatility.
