Wolfiek Pandora Launched At IWA 2026

Spain’s Wolfiek Group majored on its new Pandora launched at IWA 2026. This was a significant introduction for the group and the first gun to be announced for the 7mm Wolfiek caliber that was previewed at IWA OutdoorClassics in 2025.

The name Pandora originated in Ancient Greek mythology and has come to have the meaning of being “all gifted” or “all giving”. Either way, the Wolfiek team is clearly positioning their Pandora PRS as a multi-use, multi-disciplinary PCP air rifle. It sounds to be both “all gifted” and “all giving”!

They are aiming to create a platform product that’s attractive to a wide range of shooters who are serious about PRS, NRL22 and ultra long-range competition shooting.

Francisco Eizayaga, otherwise known as “Mr. Wolfiek,” told me all about this new project. (That’s Francisco with the big beard and big smile in the center of our photograph above).

Francisco was very open with me that the Wolfiek Pandora PRS was developed in conjunction with AEA Airguns. He explained that the air rifle is a first on two counts. The availability of the 7 mm Wolfiek caliber and the 500 bar (7,250 PSI) maximum fill pressure.

That 7,250 PSI is a maximum, Francisco stressed. He says that the gun works well at more common (lower) fill pressures, too. Particularly at lower power settings.

Talking of power, the Pandora can apparently be tuned down to very low Muzzle Energy levels – even 6 Ft/Lbs (7.5 Joules) – yet achieve extremely high maximum values. The company is quoting the following maximum power levels measured under ideal conditions at 310 bar (4,495 PSI) plenum pressure, 28-Inch barrel and the largest plenum available.

• .177 caliber maximum Muzzle Energy 94 Ft/Lbs
• .22 caliber maximum Muzzle Energy 137 Ft/Lbs
• .25 caliber maximum Muzzle Energy 201 Ft/Lbs
• .7mm Wolfiek caliber maximum Muzzle Energy 275 Ft/Lbs
• .30 caliber maximum Muzzle Energy 301 Ft/Lbs
• .35 caliber maximum Muzzle Energy 401 Ft/Lbs

Wow! Even with such an extremely high fill pressure – wow!

In addition – Francisco confirmed that the company will be offering a “Kickstarter-style” pricing structure for early customers. There will be an exclusive founder price of just €1,499 ($1,737 at today’s exchange rate), a massive €500 ($580) discount off the standard price.

Think of it – Francisco says – as reserving your spot for the most advanced PCP platform in competition shooting. Your custom-built, match-grade rifle will be delivered within a 6-month production window, he says.

To confirm, delivery for these “founder orders” is estimated 6 months from order confirmation and payment. Orders will be processed in a fixed 6-month timeline from the date of confirmation, Fransisco emphasized.

As you would expect, there’s a TON more detail and specifications behind this Pandora platform – much more than we have the space for in this introduction summary. I suggest that you check out the Wolfiek product page here for more details.

So, the Wolfiek Pandora launched at IWA 2026. It was a major introduction at the major trade show for the international airgun industry.

There’s still more IWA 2026 reports to come…

I have three questions, one is for everyone concerned about 7kpsi vs 5kpsi and two about the rifle/caliber in general:
1. Are you more dead with a catastrophic bottle failure at 7kpsi than with an exploding bottle at 5kpsi? Assuming the bottle is next to your cheek. That’s written tongue in cheek. Personally I’m shocked at how so many airgunners seem to be oblivious to how dangerous compressed air is, even at 3000psi.
2. Surely 7000psi with a .177 or .22 is going to be supersonic at its peak. If you’re going to neuter it, why bother?
3. Assuming it will use heavier/longer than normal slugs, how abundant will the appropriate ammo be?

Oohh, here we go again
No way im putting 5k psi against my cheek either!
3650psi is my max-fill cutoff, guns that fill beyond that dont interest me much...but yeah 3650psi will wreck your face too.
In-the-moment safety (while your shooting) is only one part of the equation.
Where are you getting that super hpa from?
Any compressor built to constantly handle that pressure will cost accordingly (or break down in record time if it doesn't).
If you look at your welding gas cylinders, co2, oxygen, nitrogen, etc none of them fill beyond 5k, there are good reasons for that.
High pressure regulated Pcps & gear are still fairly new and there aren't any 20, 30yr+ old ones out there. Failures happen from time to time but, it WILL be more common with higher pressures as all this gear ages. GK1s aren't blowing up?.... get back to us in 10-15 years.
Along with that 7k psi compressor and gun you now need to source appropriate hoses, fittings, regulators, gauges, etc.
Toss is some good ol human nature;
- not abiding by tank expiry dates
-filling a 4500psi bottle to 7k
- running 4500psi rated fittings on a 7k pump
- not running moisture filters, etc and I see more and bigger explosions.

For your 2nd question....that pcp will be sending .357 ammo supersonic with 7k psi, let alone the smaller calibers for sure. My .22 Ghost does so easily with >16gr pellets, 150B reg, and 600mm barrel.

3rd question...I very much agree, Ive seen .177 slugs in 20 & 22gr and 40gr in .22. So to get those power numbers the Pandora will send them all well past supersonic. How accurate they will be should be interesting to see!

So, say again. Where did you say you were gonna get that 7500 psi air?

You don’t really need me to answer that question

Sure looks like it.

Sure looks like it.

Modifed / developed since it takes 500bar
