I was offerred a .22 Webley Typhoon on Saturday - it is the (mostly plastic) Turkish made break barrel type that is claimed to be "semi-recoiless". It looks like a cheaply made air pistol that comes with a plastic barrel extension cocking aid and when it is fitted the size of it reminds me of a BSA Scorpion that I had when they first came out.

Although the pistol looks very long it does not weigh much and so it may be a little easier to hold and shoot than the Scorpion.

The asking price seemed reasonable and it is a .22 pistol that I had never seen before and so I thought it may be worth a go to se how it performs as an MPL pistol.

I have not shot it yet as it has a broken rear sight, but I have ordered a new replacement from Chambers so I hope it will be here later this week so I can fit it and see if the pistol works for me at 6 yards.

Has anyone else had a go with this type of pistol?
