    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.

    (DUCK now, to avoid the incoming! )

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

    Hi Adam

    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

    Jim, your incoming has acquired the wrong target!
    It was Jim McA who said about multi-pumps being toys, not me!

    I merely said the pellet barely gets out of the barrel with one pump, which was true of both the Crosmans I used to own (1377 and 1322). Velocity with one pump was about what you could get by throwing a pellet. If you were prepared to do the hard work of 10 pumps you could get 5.5 fpe but it's a lot of work for one shot. The Alecto seems to address that big drawback.

    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
