Overview<\/h2>\n

AirForce<\/a> made waves at the 2015 SHOT Show with their Texan pre-charged pneumatic air rifle. The new TexanSS is the much quieter version of the original, which remains one of the world\u2019s most powerful airguns. The TexanSS is a smaller, suppressed version of the big-bore air rifle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithin an hour of finishing the original Texan, we were at work on the sound suppressed version,\u201d commented AirForce founder John McCaslin. \u201cWe wanted to minimize sound while retaining as much of the Texan\u2019s power as we could. This air rifle strikes that balance perfectly.\u201d<\/p>\n

The TexanSS has a 24-inch Lothar-Walther barrel capable of delivering over 400 foot-pounds of force at the muzzle. On a full charge that exceeds standard .45 ACP loads. The airgun also has an adjustable power system.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time we design a new gun or a new version of an existing rifle, we ask how we can make it better,\u201d remarked McCaslin. \u201cWith TexanSS, we found a way to combine the power, reliability and usability in the field that we would expect from any good hunting rifle. Minus the sound.\u201d<\/p>\n
