Hatsan Flash Wood QE .22 Cal – Power, Precision & Classic Hardwood
The Hatsan Flash Wood QE .22 caliber combines traditional hardwood styling with modern PCP performance. Designed for shooters seeking a balanced mix of velocity and impact energy, this model delivers up to 1,000 FPS and approximately 38 ft-lbs of muzzle energy.
Built around a 165cc aluminum air cylinder and a precision rifled barrel, the Flash Wood QE offers consistent performance for target shooting and small game applications (where legal).
Its lightweight hardwood stock, ergonomic cheek rest, and rubber butt pad provide both comfort and stability.
What Is QuietEnergy (QE)?
The QuietEnergy (QE) system features a fully shrouded barrel and integrated sound moderator designed to reduce muzzle report.
Compared to previous non-shrouded models, QE versions are rated approximately 50% quieter, making them more backyard-friendly when used responsibly.
.22 vs .25 Cal – Which Should You Choose?
The .22 caliber version offers a balanced combination of speed and energy.
| Caliber | Velocity | Energy | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| .22 | Up to 1000 FPS | ~38 ft-lbs | Target & small game |
| .25 | Up to 900 FPS | ~40 ft-lbs | Heavier impact |
The .22 caliber provides:
✔ Higher velocity
✔ Flatter trajectory
✔ Increased shot count compared to larger calibers
Is the Flash Wood QE Regulated?
The Hatsan Flash Wood QE is a non-regulated PCP air rifle.
This means:
- Air pressure decreases gradually during the fill cycle

Non-regulated systems are often preferred for reliability and easier maintenance.
