Discover What Sets It Apart
Consistent, Regulated Power
The S510 Tactical’s precision-regulated air delivery ensures every shot leaves the barrel with consistent velocity and power. Why does that matter? Because consistency is the key to accuracy. When shot velocity stays steady, your groupings stay tight, and you eliminate frustrating variability, especially over long sessions or changing conditions.
Ergonomics That Give You the Edge
The CTR stock and tactical grip configuration are engineered for stability, comfort, and reduced fatigue. That’s not just about feeling good – it’s about staying sharp and steady when it counts. A stable platform reduces strain, improves follow-through, and keeps you in control during extended sessions or under pressure.
In high-stakes shooting environments, that ergonomic advantage can be the difference between a good shot and a missed opportunity.
Versatility Across Every Shooting Scenario
The S510 Tactical isn’t limited to one role; it’s built to perform whether you’re shooting from a bench, prone, supported, or on the move. Its adaptable design and modular setup make it equally at home in precision target work, competitive shooting, or field use.
This versatility means you’re never boxed into one style or situation: your rifle evolves with your skills, disciplines, and ambitions.
Action
Fast Side-Lever Cycling
Every S510 Tactical features Air Arms’ signature side-lever mechanism – fast, smooth, and reliable under pressure. It offers clean, precise cycling that keeps you focused and in control, whether you’re on the range or in the field.
High-Capacity 10-Shot Rotary
Each S510 Tactical includes two 10-shot rotary magazines, giving you rapid follow-up shots and less downtime – ideal for competitive shooting, pest control, or high-tempo practice.
Calibre
.177 – Precision & Flat Trajectory
Perfect for target shooting or pest control where tight groupings and flatter trajectories are essential at longer ranges.
.22 – Balanced Impact & Versatility
Offers more stopping power than .177 while maintaining strong accuracy and good shot count – a great all-rounder for mixed shooting needs.
.25 (FAC Only) – Maximum Impact
Designed for high-impact, close-range hunting and pest control, the .25 calibre provides maximum stopping power, available only in FAC-rated models.
Optimised shot-to-shot Consistency
Internal Optomised Regulator
Both the Tactical Carbine and Tactical High-Power models include an internal regulator that ensures consistent air pressure across every shot. This improves accuracy, tightens groupings, and increases total shot count per fill, vital for shooters who expect precision even under changing conditions.
Power fit for Purpose
Sub-12 ft/lb (No FAC Required)
Our Sub-12 ft/lb models can be owned in the UK without a firearms certificate, making them perfect for target shooting and effective pest control across all sporting environments.
High Power (FAC Required in the UK)
For shooters who need extra range and impact, the high-power Ultimate Sporter models are built to deliver. Offering increased muzzle energy for tackling larger quarry and challenging shooting conditions, they’re available in .177, .22, and .25 calibres. Always ensure you comply with local licensing regulations.
Stock Design & Accessory Mounts
Adjustable Tactical Stock
CTR-style adjustable stock lets you set the perfect length of pull for comfort and control in any position. Ambidextrous design and tactical pistol grip provide stability and flexibility across all shooting environments.
Modular M-Lok Mounting
M-Lok slots along the forend make it easy to attach accessories like bipods, lasers, and lights exactly where you need them.
Built for Agility
Carbine Configuration
Both S510 Tactical models use a carbine configuration, with a shorter barrel and overall length for improved manoeuvrability and faster handling. Ideal for tactical scenarios or any shooting style where agility and control matter, without sacrificing power or accuracy.
Not all air rifles are built like the S510 Tactical
Here’s what you risk when you settle for less:
❌ No Adaptability: Fixed stocks and non-modular designs can’t be adjusted to your fit, style, or environment.
❌ Locked into One Setup: Without accessory mounting, you can’t evolve your rifle as your skills grow.
❌ Inconsistent Power: Unregulated rifles suffer velocity drops that ruin groupings and predictability.
❌ Unreliable Accuracy: Fluctuating performance makes it hard to trust your rifle when precision matters.
❌ Poor Fit: Lack of adjustability leads to strain, fatigue, and reduced stability.
❌ Faster Fatigue: Discomfort sets in quickly during longer sessions, hurting control and focus.
❌ Lost Confidence: When your rifle can’t keep up, your performance, and trust, take the hit.
