Umarex brought a couple of its new airguns to the 142nd NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits, its new Octane among them. The Octane is a high-powered, high-velocity, break-barrel airgun that's powered by a gas piston system.

The gas piston system offers a smoother shot and smoother cocking effort, while retaining power. The rifle is equipped with a noise dampening system that's designed to reduce downrange noise.

The Octane is available in .177 and .22.

To learn more about the Octane, take a look at the video below or go to UmarexUSA.com.
