Amazing value for the price! You get the Bandit Tactical, 1 mag, Red dot, fill probe, extra O-rings and case all included for the price. This was a no-brainer for my entry into PCP air guns.

Quick answer - Needs modified hammer spring. I was only getting about 6-7 usable shots before needing to refill. I couldn't even get through an entire mag, let alone two mags. I noticed others have been reporting this as well. Not the end of the world as a quick mod fixed this issue to my satisfaction. I did take a star off for the bandit needing such a mod out of the box.

Out of the box this beauty shoots spicy! The gun was letting out a lot of air per trigger pull. The valve dwell was way too high, or micro strikes (I'm not sure which). Without having any source of external adjustment, I then turned my attention to the hammer spring. Research suggested that Diana loaded this gun with a very heavy "over-sprung" hammer spring. I suspect Diana did this so they could advertise higher FPS/FPE for the US market (no power output regulation in the US that I'm aware of). Higher numbers, higher power, looks good on a features listing. Online suggests UK/European markets are not seeing this issue (they have power output restrictions/regulations). I likely voided my warranty and clipped two coils off of my hammer spring. As it stands, I can now shoot through two full mags without needing an air refill. I think with a proper hammer spring replacement I can really dial in the tune of the gun. I'm very happy with the results of my modification.

I just purchased the .22 version. I'm getting 2 magazines, 14 shots per fill on the tank.

Everything except for the (unregulated) 40cc tank. Using 14 grain (or less) should help and replacing the 9.5" barrel with the 17.5" one from the Chaser CO2 (Snowpeak | Artemis CP2) would be an improvement. JSB Hades 15.89g: Shot 1 - 677 fps 16.2 fpe 673 672 664 644 621 591 568 541 513 Shot 11- 487 fps 8.4 fpe

Should have engineered it with the 50cc tank from the regular Bandit.

The manual states that you can remove the moderator, but notes only in some markets. The US version is glued on and does not screw off.

I forgot to note that mine is the .22 version. I don't see a need to clip the spring after seeing the results from the 17.7" Chaser barrel. All it needs now is the 50cc tank.

I bought the .177 version and was only getting 6-7 shots before needing a refill. I clipped a couple of coils off of the hammer spring and can now get through 2 mags (18 shots). Here is my chrono testing with .177 JSB Hades 10.34gr - Shot 1-18 (FPS) = 732, 732, 725, 736, 727, 730, 726, 726, 729, 735, 719, 694, 708, 631, 603, 572, 543, 512. FPE: High=12.44 FPE and Low = 5.97 FPE These results were after my hammer spring mod. I think there is still room for improvement with a proper hammer spring replacement. Out of the box experience for me was bad, but with a tune I'm now happy.

John Oct 01, 2026

I put the 17.7" barrel on from the Diana Chaser/Artemis CP2 and re-tested the JSB Hades 15.89 gr - a 100 fps increase and 7 shots before falling off. Replacing the 40cc tank with the 50cc is next. Not sure why the regular Bandit's 50cc tank isn't on this model, it's only 3/8" longer. 782 avg fps 21.6 avg fpe 773 783 784 784 780 791 780

I really like everything about this gun, except for the unregulated 40cc tank. JSB Hades 15.89g start with 677 fps and by shot 11, you're down below 500. Not sure why they didn't figure out how to keep the 50cc tank, but swapping the barrel out with the longer one from a Chaser and using lighter pellets should help.

Put the Chaser CO2 barrel on it (17.7" vs. 9.5") and make the tank at least 10 more cc's, if not 20 since the barrel will be 8" longer. I'd buy another if they did and it.

It’s silent

A bigger cylinder

Dont buy if u don’t have a compressor. You get 10 shots max at the 10 you can see the pellet and hear the difference of noise. honestly not worth because you are filling more than shooting
