Hi guys, im interested in buying the Wierauch HW45 for some general target/tin shooting, and maybe hunting a few lions and zebras .

I was wondering is it hard to cock/load ? As the only air pistol ive shot before was a webley tempest and i recall that being quite hard, but that was when i was 15 or something.

Is it as easy as on this video or is he just loading it after cocking?

I will probably go for the .22 caliber, as it makes more impact on the target, and is less similar to bbs. Also i heard someone saying that the .177 version would make it over the legal limit if you swapped the barrel to .22 .

Any advice would be greatly appreciated cheers.
