Why a Vulcan Bpup cal .22 is better than .25
The only reason I could think of, really, is the cost of pellets.
Anything else I missed? Please enlighten me.

1. noisy action
2. stiff cocking action
3. plastic trigger
would like feedback from others like yourself regarding the action noise?
What Drunk said…..!
In addition, The action is only as loud as you make it. If you take your time and cycle carefully it’s no louder than an M-Rod. If you cycle the bolt rapidly and forcefully it’ll be rather noisy.
Because of where the bolt is placed it’s not really all that stout.
Plastic trigger for me is insulting. It functions wonderfully. Probably just as good as steel or alloy but for me it’s a blemish on an otherwise spotless design.

All three points listed above are there, and all valid. Do I care? No. Why? Because they are overweighted by an unbelievably succsessful combination of five points listed below:
1. Power
2. Size
3. Accuracy
4. Reliability
5. Robustness
Vulcan is not a “sports gun”. Vulcan is not a “neighbour-friendly” gun. Vulcan is not a “hi-tech” gun. Its an overpriced and rare example of “things done right” in a Russian way.
i was all set to buy one but did some research – bad points:

2. stiff cocking action

For all of us “blue collar” airgunners there will always be buyers trepidation when we’re considering forking over a large sum of money. This is the precursor to buyer’s remorse which often follows after the purchase has been made. I gave allot of thought and consideration to my purchase when I decided upon the Vulcan. I was very concerned that I wouldn’t be able to get used to shooting a bullpup design. Never owned one before. Fortunately for me I have no problem with this gun’s shooting characteristics.
As an example, I made up some steel targets which are 4″ X 4″ square plates which are 3/16″ of an inch thick. I hung these targets from a few trees around my shooting area. Three of them at 60 yards and one at 80 yards. I quickly learned that there is absolutely no challenge in shooting these plates when they’re facing me but because of the way that they’re suspended they seem to like to turn themselves sideways exposing only the 3/16″ edge to me from my shooting position which is standing in my back doorway braced against the doorframe. (Not bench rested.)
Well, If I can hold steady enough I will consistently hit the edge of those plates even out to 80 yards. On a good day I will connect 3 out of every five shots. I’d say the bullpup design works just fine for my 6′, 230lb frame.
Needless to say, any buyer’s remorse on my behalf has been displaced by sheer amazement! I freekin’ love this rifle!!!! :5:
:rofl:
steel, you have to buy it then you should start bitching about it.
look, the Vulcan BP is the best fun gun available. you will not regret
seriously, i was shaken upon learning about the plastic trigger.
the money i am saving for the Vulcan did not come easy.
but, i was drawn to the Vulcan mainly because of the positive reports. except, i am sitting on the other side of the fence. this is more like the only one high pcp i could afford in my entire life. if ever i get on with this decision.
it is a not a luxury, neither a necessity… but more like a dream for me. i am almost there…but i have to think and think again many times.
thanks for the encouragement though. i mean it.
the trigger is fine, the hard case is not really a hard case, it is soft.
:rofl:

Exactly…. plastic does not belong in a Vulcan.
Well, yes, the hard case is fine to be made of plastic. I admit, looking at the photos, the case is pretty.
But for a trigger?
No. Just no.
by the way, I created a post about this over there at the Yellow just a few second ago.
Hmmm…. I’ll have to look again but I checked mine and I was sure that the trigger is plastic. To be honest, I didn’t realize it until it was pointed out to me. I thought it was aluminum or some other alloy even after shooting the rifle for a few weeks. In all fairness, it’s still an awfully nice trigger as far as shooting characteristics are concerned. There’s always one or two things that make any product a little less than perfect. Plastic doesn’t belong an a rifle in this class. The Vulcan is an impressive gun plastic trigger br damned!
Mine does NOT have a plastic trigger.
I am sure others will verify the same.

congratulations. But I guess, those whose Vulcans came with plastic triggers, while yours is not, won’t be so happy.
I have seen several, as well as watched tuning vids on YouTube and I have yet to see one with a plastic trigger. Seems someone is trying to make them look bad, or it was a joke.

They fill from a scuba tank.

I am sure I will not be completely happy if my Vulcan Bullpup .22 has a plastic trigger, even if it shoots 6 mags.

I know some that get 6 mags from the .22.

I have the .25 Tactic.
Four mags from a starting fill of 250psi?
That is beyond me, if ever I choose to take this path. I fill from a 200bar scuba tank only.
I fill to 220 bar, no point in going higher for me.

How many mags with a fill of 220 bar on your Vulcan bullpup cal .22?

I get 74 shots with a 210 bar fill, after Ernest tuned it. Love it, it’s my go to truck gun now.
