The sliding compression tube system has many good points.
The direct to breech loading is certainly one of them.
Ease of stripping is another good point, especially on the TX, LGU and 77/97. Not sure about the Dianas as I've not owned / stripped one.
Very short transfer port (on 77/97) and central port on TX. And the TX one isn't excessively long.
With the comp tube not being an integral part of the receiver of the gun, tuning and experimenting with different bores etc is also made easier. And wrecking a comp tube doesn't write the whole of the receiver off (applies to many out there who may not have the engineering skills or tackle to make good knackered cylinders).
The only potential negatives are the finger mangling capabilities, which are a non-issue if safe handing is observed anyway and a slightly more fiddly loading operation compared to some systems. Both non-issues for me and I love 'em.
As to which sealing system would be the better, don't really know, but never had an issue with my TX or my many 77s/97s.

Sliding breeches can crush digits, but break-barrels can smash teeth and noses. You pay your money and take your chances...

I wonder what type of barrel on a break barrel would gnash teeth and noses better? Short and stumpy with a large diameter shroud / silencer or a long, slim item like the 35 Export?

Even better looking than a HW35
You'd be safe with the ultra long 35 export barrel as you'd smack the bloke next to you in the chops insteadI wonder what type of barrel on a break barrel would gnash teeth and noses better? Short and stumpy with a large diameter shroud / silencer or a long, slim item like the 35 Export?

Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

They think of every eventuality at HW HQ!

Just remember not to stand next to a 35 shooter at the next bash then.Cool!

You have been warned
Could be interesting if you get two 35 shooters next to each other, it could turn out like a Star Wars lightsaber fight

Short and stumpy, preferrably a gas-sham. The lack of mechanical advantage means the extra effort allows one to be hit in the face, break the stock AND possibly get your fingers/web of the hand pinched or crushed in the breech when it 'kangaroos' the unfortunate shooter. The scope should be destroyed when the brute hits the ground scope-down in accordance with Murphy's Law.I wonder what type of barrel on a break barrel would gnash teeth and noses better?

A HW35 Export with its nice long lever is perfectly controllable.

Didn't Hitler's people dream one up like that that could shoot round corners?
Well, for a few shots anyway!

The Krummlauf. Or, more correctly, the Vorsatz J (or I) and Vorstaz Pz. Originally a way (Pz = Panzer, 90 degree bend) of letting tank crews engage infantry without sticking their heads above the open hatch. Also developed (I or J, 30 degree bend) for infantry in trench or urban warfare.Didn't Hitler's people dream one up like that that could shoot round corners?

Not sure it ever saw service. Never replicated by any other army. Which tells you something about its utility, 72 years later.
Back on topic. Tap-loader, anyone? Surely it's not just me?

Is it particularly sympathetic to bad handling?
If you don't know enough to judge - don't judge

Oops!Is it particularly sympathetic to bad handling?Thank you for pointing that out, good sir.
Bloody iPads!
Hope you're keeping well MrD.
How's the testing going on that new mystery gun?
