Not yet, it's all hush hush, but the usual things are obviously being bandied around - Proper replacement for the MK4is, E Wolverine, non bullpup version of the Pulsar, or any one of the above as a Limited Edition - or probably as well as?

I'm looking forward to it TBH, I've been waiting for 2 years for them to bring out something high spec and target orientated, and have been disappointed with what they have delivered, even though some of it's good, it was just not what I wanted.

I'd love a Field Target version of the Pulsar.

Could it be the Galahad ?

Could it be the Galahad ?

What's that?

No, it might be called the Lancelot; then you'll look at the price and nickname it the Laughalot.

Another special edition costing £ 3000 and in pink is my guess.

It will be a back-to-basics break-barrel with open sights. Most components will be made from injection-moulded plastic, with the exception of the barrel liner which will be a thin rifled brass tube. The piston will be unique in that it will feature no seal, and will ride on the plastic compression cylinder with only fine tolerances and some 'Special Grease' to maintain a hyperbaric spike. The really big innovation, and Walther should take note, is the cam-action lever for locking the barrel and action together, which the expert historian will realise is an update on that used on the world-famous Greener rifle from before the Second World War.

It will be called 'The Daystate Break-Barrel Air-Rifle' (DBBAR) or 'Debbie's Arse' as the production team know it.
