HW/Weihrauch Are you missing out? Little group therapy with the HW100 BP in .22.

Haven’t shot one, but if they are anything like their little brother (HW44) then it would be a keeper. Personally I don't need another long gun. Pistol, yesiree.

If anything like the regular rifle then it should be pretty great. Ive got or had the .177(t/h rifle) just traded it for a .22 in transit to me now delivery tomorrow. Cant beat a HW100 for quietness or accuracy.

On one hand...yeah, I like them.
I have two, one is a right side cocking, one is a left side cocking. I took the longer version and cut the barrel, so it's close to the same length as the full, bull pup. So they are both short. I bought the second gun, just because I wanted the left side cocking lever.
Problem is, they BOTH currently...leak. One from the front-lower receiver block, the other from the magazine slot.
I took the magazine slot leaker apart last night. Didn't change any o-rings yet though.
And...HELL no, without a good muffler, they AREN"T...quiet. One of the noisier guns around. At least the shorter barrel guns.
Maybe a third one will be the lucky one that...doesn't freaking...leak.

Not many if any pcps are quiet w/o a mod or a functioning shroud. With a mod my HW100 is pretty much dead quiet, most birds or squirrels dont react to it if more then 20 yds away. And they all leak at some point so not unique to the HW100.

I assume it is the HW100 rifle action. I have a carbine in .177 and it's my favorite yard gun. I tuned it down to a little over 11 fpe, and it's virtually silent, great shot count, and very accurate. Power is still sufficient for squirrels at 35 yards, which is about my maximum yard range. I guess the rifle was designed around the sub-12 European standard, and that's where it really excels. We Americans tend to screw things up with our desire for power.

Pretty simple, all you have to do is look...
Head on over to the Airguns of Arizona, and pay attention to the photos.

IMHO, The HW100 is a true classic. Well designed, well made and excellent performers - they are heirloom quality airguns! AND they have the best magazine system ever.
I have a pair (.177 & .22) full length FAC HW100s and really like them.
Cheers!
