Gun and gear reviews Turkish garbage abuse test.
Pictured are the new Hatsan BullTac SA, and a used and abused Escort Magnum I got for dirt cheap. Put nearly 1500 rounds between the two over the last few days. I didnt count how much I fed each gun, but close to 1000 through the escort and ~500 through the bullpup. The shells used are pictured, along with some handfuls of Winchester 3" slugs.
For the Escort Mag, the one and only issue I had was popping the ring out of the piston while rapid firing slugs. Pinched it and popped it back on, no issues 250 rounds since.
For the bullpup, one FTF and one stovepipe in 500 rounds, both occurred within the first 50 cycles.
Anyone on the fence about the BullTac, between all the positive reviews and my own positive experience, it's a good buy. It happily eats whatever I feed it, and nothing comes loose between cleaning. You can't ask for much more for the price it is. And it's cool as fuck.
The Magnum was what really impressed me especially with god knows how many rounds went through it prior to me. For a $250 gun it far exceeded my expectations.

I want one of those bulltacs so bad but I’ve got 2 other rifles on my wanted list and I think I forgot hold out for them I’m really happy to see that these are feeding reliably though! Who knows maybe I’ll order them what’s 500$ nowadays
