Even though I did not get on with the gun in this cal it has always been on the back of my mind to try a 177 cal hw100, Thing for me now is I only use buddy bottle guns as I need the shot count so the 100 is out of the question. I may have had a different outlook in 177 cal but as said above it did not quite perform like my other pcp guns at that time. This is my opinion on the hw100 and I could only compare it to the guns I had back then. maybe as a hw fan I was just expecting a little to much from the gun. No doubt some of the guns I have now people may not get on with like me with the hw100, It just wasn't for me.
