In all seriousness, Eric: we both know that I'm going to end up with a boatload of them!

i would get the hw45 i have owned one for a few months and love it i have only just brought a e9a .177 and e9a.22 but would never part with the hw45 put a red dot sight on it i can hit a pop bottle lid every time 10 to 15 metres you will love it also i know the 45 might cost a little more but not after owning it a few months you will soon make up the difference in co2 but both are good pistols
What about a Diana P5 Magnum; 5.1 FPE with RWS SuperH-Points;; http://www.airgunbbs.com/forums/show...21#post2737921

Although the EB is fun mine took some work to sort out. First, the plate that the bolt engages with to hold the bolt shut was incorrectly positioned, so that the bolt blew open when the pistiol was fired. I had to remove it, elongate the fixing holes, and refix. And the trigger was terrible, which wasn't too surprising when I saw how the sears had been finished, or rather not finished. Not too bad now I have polished them up.
So I'd say Crosman's quality control leaves a bit to be desired.
Quite a nice pistol once fixed though. Next project is to knock up some grips to replace the horrible brown planks it comes with.
I'm glad I posted this thread. I'm learning that the EB is not the "simple tank" I thought it to be.

I have to say buy both guns, I did, the EB is a cannon and as stated needs a tweak or two, excellent muzzle blast and a real can slicer, the HW 45 is a dream to shoot and cheaper to run, even an old Git! like me can shoot accurately out to 20 metres once it is run in and zeroed,
I shoot RWS Superdomes .22 in both having tried loads of others and found these perfect.
Thanks, RG: I'll have to give those Superdomes a try.
Of these two pistols, which do you think is the more powerful?
