Design

The Rogue, despite not having its own sights, has a 9.5mm top rail behind the 6-shot clip for a scope or SLR, it also has a bottom rail with two slots (one per accessory) to hold a bipod, laser or light.^[2][3][4][5]

It uses a 330 cc air tank that can be filled to 3,050 psi (210 bar). For optimal air efficiency, the Rogue features the "Epic Display," a factory-installed electronic device that manages the rifle's power. Three bullet weight options (light, medium, and heavy) and three power options (low, medium, and high) can be selected, combining them to the shooter's liking. The electronically adjustable trigger can be adjusted from the Display Epic. It weighs 4.3 kg, has a barrel length of 25 inches, an overall length of 49 inches with the stock extended and 45 inches with the stock retracted.^[1][4]

The Rogue has a 6-shot clip on top and is essentially semi-automatic, with a range of 4 to 20 shots at full pressure. It has a jacketed barrel that suppresses muzzle noise, making it even quieter than any other firearm, producing around 80 dB. This rifle also has zero recoil. The Rogue also features an adjustable stock for shooter comfort. The Rogue's air tank can be refilled with a hand-operated PCP pump or a high-pressure Benjamin air tank.^[1][4]
