TheBlack Ops Rhino 50DS 4.5mm is a CO2-powered air rifle, shooting two types of shot, which is a faithful and fully licensed replica of the Chiappa Rhino model revolver with a linear hand-barrel axis system. The manufacturer of the air rifle is the Taiwanese company Wingun, which, in cooperation with Chiappa Firearms and BO Manufacture, has developed a magnificent replica, distinguished by its realistic weight, dimensions, manual operation, as well as the compatibility of the target instruments with the original. The version is made in silver color.
Features of the Black Ops Rhino air rifle:
- heavy metal construction,
- hexagonal barrel,
- functioning indicator of a tight cock (firing pin),
- lowered axis barrel,
- high profile barrel with porting,
- SA/DA trigger mechanism,
- official Chiappa Firearm markings,
- original fiber optic sighting instruments,
- side lever for locking the barrel.
Rugged and metal construction of the revolver
The revolver has a heavy construction made almost entirely of metal, which guarantees reliable and long-lasting use. Only the facings, which faithfully imitate the wooden grip used in firearms, are made of plastic. Thanks to this design, the air rifle weighs as much as 1100 g, which is almost the same as the weight of a loaded revolver. The windcheater uses a 5-inch (127 mm) barrel, thanks to which the revolver guarantees good accuracy also at longer distances.
Targeting instruments used in the air rifle
The Black Ops Soul Rhino 4.5mm uses fiber-optic sighting instruments in the form of a fixed bowtie and a vertically and horizontally adjustable pinniped. The realism of the design is emphasized by the fact that the air rifle's sighting instruments are compatible with firearms. As in the original, the air rifle has a hexagonal barrel, a taut firing pin (inner cock) indicator and a vented barrel with a high profile.
As in the original, the handle has a mild profile, a high-cut spur and textured side walls responsible for a comfortable and secure grip.
Choice between BB and Diabolo pellet shotgun shells
The revolver has been adapted to shoot two types of shot, i.e. diabolo 4.5mm and BB's 4.46mm. Instead of a classic magazine, brass cartridges, resembling gun ammunition, were used to load the shotgun. After placing the diabolo shot or BB's in the back of the cartridge, the shells are loaded into the barrel chambers. Such functionality makes the airgun great for both precision and dynamic shooting. As a result, we don't have to make the difficult choice of whether to buy a bb or diabolo shotgun.
CO2 cap power supply
The revolver is powered by compressed carbon dioxide supplied from a 12gCO2 capsule. The fired diabolo shotgun reaches an energy of about 3.5 J, which allows accurate shooting at distances of up to 30 m. Loading and replacing theCO2 capsule are very simple, just remove the polymer liner, place the capsule in the port and tighten it with an allen wrench. The mounting wrench is permanently attached to the liner, so it is always with the airgun, thus avoiding the mundane problem of forgetting the tool needed to replace the capsule.
One capsule allows you to fire about 60 shots with an even initial velocity. It should be remembered that the biggest influence on the number of shots is the air temperature and the dynamics with which we shoot.
Double-action trigger mechanism
The revolver uses an SA/DA trigger mechanism, which means that firing can be done from self-tensioning or after tensioning the cock (tensioning lever). A tension indicator for the mechanism has been applied behind the stock, which informs the shooter that the weapon is ready to fire. Such a solution is due to the fact that, unlike classic revolvers, the Chiappa Rhino shoots from the lower chamber of the barrel, while the actual cock is located inside the grip. In this case, the outer cock serves only as a lever for tensioning the inner cock.
