    The Ugliest Weihrauch Ever?

    The new HW44 is HIDEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    What is going on in Germany? This is not right, not right at all.

    Makes a CP-1 look positively elegant.

    The barrel shroud and at least the underslung Picatinny rail should be binned immediately. Even then it looks like a big slabby piece of 'combat fantasy' junk. I am sure it is a good functional pistol underneath, so its a shame.

    It handles well, the accuracy reports are impressive and it's well made.

    It will sell extremely well over here, just as most of the other airguns some on here seem to find offensive. I spent quite a while on the Weihrauch stand at the weekend and I spoke to many people about the HW44, and not a single one of them said that gun was ugly - and most were connected to rival companies.

    Personally, I don't find it ugly at all, and having operated and handled it, I think those who get to do the same will be impressed.

    I guess it's a matter of taste. I like it but I love my Gladius aswell.
    You can spend thousands and still miss a barn door or spend just enough and enjoy yourself. If you haven't got the talent to start with a million pound won't fix it. Whippet, Russell, a few bang sticks and a flat cap. http://www.smart-tech1st.co.uk

    This post is not about popularity but ugliness. The HW100 is, I.M.O. a superb rifle but its looks, in standard form, wouldn't attract Quasi Modo out of a burning shed. Take me for example. Im very popular but

    The post to which I replied was about Weihrauch 'learning from the HW100', my blessed chum. Do pay attention ... between attending to your beauty regimen, of course.

    I think that under the circumstances they made a brilliant job of taking your eyes off the air tube...

    But seriously as a "bottle hater" I prefer it that way.

    Moi, the HW 35 is the ugliest... *getmycoat*
