I've tried watching their films before. I don't think I've ever completed one.
"Aye, it looks just like a bullet gun"
If you have never seen the laughable chap operating and trying to describe the workings and history of these two guns you have missed a treat,
total miss information.Just look up Webley mk2 service and haenal 28 air pistol and on You Tube there you will find them.It will be interesting
to read your thoughts. 2 movies. one on each of them.

The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.
I've seen them, yes they are kind of funny cause he certainly, doesn't seem to know how to operate the guns at first. But it is the only UTube on the Webley Service out there, I believe? It made me want to own one! And there are only a couple of UTubes on the Haenel 28, one in German. It would be awesome if more UTubes were made by members of this forum. So much expertise and awesome collections. I would love to see a good review of the Webley Service rifle but someone who can show what it is like.
Try Youtubing "BSA Goldstar .22 air rifle" for an unbiased review.

Just watched it Mick very colourfull and the gun also.
I have just watched the Haenel 28 youtube ... if it is the same one. Chap with a distinct Northern accent with no initial idea of how the pistol cocks. And I think there is a spring missing that keeps the cocking lever in position. Not sure about his testing procedure firing at his wooden shed ... clearly the pellet bounced off so I guess he should be pleased it did not come back and hit him.
Such is life.
Cheers, Phil
What a pair! Nice guns and lots of enthusiasm, but the clinking of metal on metal made me wince.
Talking of which, I just saw a YouTube video on a lovely Tell 3 that wouldn't cock - an update video showed it fixed after the owner removed a section of broken spring. But he then repeatedly dry fired the pistol, which was almost unbearable to watch!
