The Snowpeak AP1000 is a pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle manufactured by Snowpeak (also known as Artemis or SPA in some markets), designed as a full-size carbine for target shooting, plinking, and small game hunting.
Why it's good
It's notable for its lightweight build, folding stock for portability, and budget-friendly pricing, making it appealing to entry-level and intermediate airgun enthusiasts. Released late 2025, it features an integrated regulator for consistent shot-to-shot performance and comes in multiple calibers.
These specs make it compact yet capable, with the folding stock allowing easy transport in a backpack or case.
Features and Performance
The AP1000 includes a built-in silencer for reduced noise, which is handy for backyard use or hunting without disturbing neighbors. Its regulator ensures stable velocity across multiple shots—expect 50-90 consistent shots per fill depending on caliber and power settings.
Early reviews from airgun forums and YouTube highlight its surprising accuracy for the price, with some users comparing it favorably to more expensive models.
However, it's primarily aimed at sub-12 ft/lbs markets in regions like the UK for unlicensed use, though higher-power versions exist for other areas.
