In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.
i would have to say G80 , but thats because my brother had one and we had lots of fun with it plinking,, and looking at the ads in airgun world from airgunaid and thinking that somehow we could turn the low powered gun into some sort of cannon , i had a mercury in 1979 and that was way more powerfull, then in 1981 bought a a proper 80 ,,,,, a hw80, never looked back since

I WAS that youngster Although I swapped an old Sinclair Spectrum for a Hawk Mk 3 from a second hand emporium (read junkshop) in the back streets of Chester, circa 1982.
It was S.H.I.T
Live, yes. Learn? Maybe
Never go off half cocked....
All lies matter
I'm ever so glad all the disparaging remarks are being directed at the MkIII and not the MkII, coz that'd be faightin' talk!
The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.
dunno whats wrong with the hawk mk111??? the one I had was reliable and reasonably accurate with Eley Wasps, ok it wasn't a full 12ft/lbs (more like 9.5) but it was good enough to knock squiggles out of trees at 25yds!
Agreed. The Hawk MkII was wonderful, and fun . I have had several with both barrels, and although 8.5ft.lb was the norm, the fun factor of being able to switch from .177 to .22 in moments, more than made/makes up for this retarded power level, and imo, renders the Hawk MkII the perfect 15 to 20 yard back garden plinker .
