HW45 Pistol Questions.

[dkay]

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.

I have a HW45 and it's not to bad to cock,once you get the technic rightas to changing to the .22 barrel and it going overI don't think so bud as the internals piston, spring,etc are both the same for both calibres,the only difference is the barrel

Ah right cheers for replying, i thought that the fps difference was only due to the diff barrels. Its not sounding too bad to load, as long as im not breaking my arm just to pop a few off.

Now all ive got to do is find one...

I thought that too, when it was loaded and he took both hands off the grip to squeeze it shut
