Weihrauch HW100T K, FSB or non FSB

[Vermin Al]

I'm after a PCP in 0.177 for tree shooting magpies and rooks. I'm looking at the Weihrauch HW100T K but am unsure whether to get the shrouded or non-shrouded barrel.

Any advice would be welcome.

I have a non FSB HW100, it's quiet, very quiet with the standard moderator. I have used one with a FSB, it also is quite but just not as quiet as the "standard" moderator version. That said the FSB model does look very nice!

Hi mate,

I've had both fsb and standard, both carbines. The standard 100 with moderator is quieter than the FSB. I currently have the FSB version with a moderator fitted and that is unbelievably quiet as you, in effect have 2 silencers - it's adds some length to the gun but not much, it looks fantastic aswell. No matter which 100 you go for you'll love it as it's a fantastic piece of kit.

Thanks. Just thought of a couple more questions.

Are there any differences in the barrel, ie is the FSB barrel the same diameter or skinnier ? Also, is there any possibility of corrosion to the barrel from the vented air back into the shrouded section and, lastly, is the accuracy the same ?

Mine will put pellet on pellet at 30 yards no problem, as did my none shrouded version (from a bipod of course) as they say the gun is more accurate than the shooter! I'm not 100% on the barrel question but I'm assuming it's the same size barrel with a shroud over. I'm also never heard of the air corroding the barrel, I can't see it been a problem but if anyone knows any different please speak up.

The vented air comment refers to moisture in compressed air being sent back down the shroud and the possibility of it rusting the barrel underneath the shroud.

A solution would be to remove the shroud and wipe the barrel with a oiled cloth on a regular basis.
