    It looks like an HW 40 with a base attached to the grip.

    It does, but the key thing about it for me, the Unique Selling Point, is that it is single or multi-pump. If what I've read is to be believed, 1 stroke for around 3 ft.lbs, 2 for about 4.5 and 3 for 5 ft.lbs.

    Multi-pump pistols in the past, like the Crosman, just about get a pellet out of the barrel on one pump, needing at least 2 or 3 to get a usable velocity.

    Interesting. A high-quality multi-stroke pneumatic. I always though of MSP's as toys.

    The Alecto's original guise was as a 'Zoraki' from 'Atak Arms' of Turkey.

    Hi Adam
    Multi-pump pistols in the past, like the Crosman, just about get a pellet out of the barrel on one pump, needing at least 2 or 3 to get a usable velocity.
    So how come my C130 is currently leading the Vintage shoot?
    It aint because I'm a brilliant shot. I KNOW i'm not

    You are correct

    Um.... will it be another Turkey from Turkey?

    Lets hope not, still its bound to be better than the Typhoon, a spud gun or water pistol is better than the Typhoon

    This pistol seems to have generated a fair amount on interest...i just hope we are not disappointed

    found this which answers my earlier question about the underside accessory rail

    I'm looking forward to putting her through her paces and doing a review for the next UBC Article
