Today, let’s take a final walk around IWA 2024, looking for airguns and associated products.
So our first stop was with Diana. There Markus Dombrowski showed me the new new Skyhawk Gen. 2. That’s Markus above in our heading photograph and a close-up of the gun below.
The main change for the Skyhawk Gen. 2 is the mid-mounted sidelever cocking action. It’s a big improvement on the rear-mounted lever of the “Gen. 1” model, in my opinion.

Markus also showed me the Outlaw Gen. 2 Outlaw. This adds a regulator gauge, Picatinny scope-mounting rails and a new stock with M-LOK slots to the previous generation model.

Below, Leapers was at the IWA 2024 show, of course! The indefatigable David Ding showed me the latest scope models from his company, including the Integrix 4.5-27 x 56 FFP scope.

The Accushot Pro 3-12×42 FFP scope is another close-focusing model that is likely to be vey popular with airgunners.

Below, Evanix always has something unusual, interesting and – usually – big bore. This year it was the Viper .30 caliber semi-automatic PCP air pistol…

While – talking of semi-automatic air pistols – here’s the Huben GK1, complete with carbine stock.

Slovenian PCP manufacturer RTi was at the show as always. Main man Rok – below – showed me their new products, such as the Prophet 2.1.

In addition, the P-3 Compact offered a lot of performance in a very small, light form factor. Rok explained that The P-3 is an evolution from the Prophet 2 in terms of operation and functionality. It is easier to disassemble and more robust in its overall construction, he said, with major upgrades and also several minor tweaks in different areas.

In addition, RTI had a much larger PCP, based on a completely different, physically much larger platform. It’s below. Sadly I don’t have the name on this one…
(It's the Mora, thanks to the people who told me).

Below. Another regular trade show participant is Lily from SnowPeak. Below she shows us the company’s new SL900 sidelever springer. It’s available with a gas ram powerplant also.
Either way, it has one of the most compact magazine feeds I’ve seen on a “springer”, with an almost “PCP-like” form of magazine and location. The SL300 was listed as .177 caliber only at present.


That ends Hard Air Magazine’s coverage of airguns at IWA 2024. To be clear, there was even more to be seen than I was able to cover alone over the four days of the show.
For example, this year, I completely missed-out on the many Turkish airgun manufacturers, after giving them a lot of coverage last year.
Also, I skipped the precision 10 Meter target air rifle scene that was very popular at IWA 2024 – think FWB, Steyr, Walther and more.
But I hope that these posts have given you an idea of the dynamic nature of the international airgun scene. There’s a TON of interesting stuff being done, as you can see. Hopefully some of it will make its way to market for us to buy.
I’ll be back next year to do it all again…
