The Sentinel Basic Kit | .50 | CO₂ | Vesta Defence

The Sentinel Basic Kit – Powerful training partner for serious shooters

The Sentinel Basic Kit from Vesta Defence is a complete starter set that is ready for use straight out of the box. This semi-automatic air pistol in .50 calibre comes with everything you need: 30 CO₂ cartridges and 100 rubber projectiles. With 20 joules of power and the clever Quick Pierce System for efficient gas regulation, this is a no-nonsense training set for recreational shooting and realistic practice sessions.

Our experience with The Sentinel Basic Kit

The first thing you notice about this air pistol is the solid construction. The polymer frame feels robust without being too heavy – at 0.7 kilograms it sits comfortably in the hand. The double action trigger operates smoothly and predictably, which is especially pleasant during rapid shooting sequences. The 6-shot magazine can be changed quickly, and the 22mm Picatinny rail under the barrel provides space for accessories such as a tactical light.

Technology and performance

This CO₂-powered system delivers consistent performance thanks to the Quick Pierce mechanism, which utilises the gas cartridges efficiently. With 20 joules of energy and a 12.7mm calibre, you shoot with power and accuracy. The 22 cm long barrel ensures stability when aiming. The semi-automatic system means you can fire rapidly in succession without having to reload manually.

Use and operation

The operation is intuitive: insert the CO₂ cartridge, fill the magazine with the supplied rubber pellets, and you’re ready to go. This pistol is suitable for both left- and right-handed shooters. The grip has a good texture that remains comfortable even during longer sessions. The iron sight is simple but effective, and thanks to the mounting rail you can add a red dot sight for even greater precision if desired.
