Weihrauch HW80 info

[Errol]

Hi can the HW80 be successfully used in .177 calibre? or is it better suited to the larger calibres
Thanks

[Mach 1.5]

Simple answer. Yes in 177. Mach 1.5

I shoot a HW80 in 177, standard version not the K.
Accurate and enjoyable to shoot. Love it.

better in 177 and 20 as about right amount of spring for piston mass imo

At legal limit it probably shoots .177 the best.

[Errol]

Excellent. I am looking at one to buy.
I think my mind was working the wrong way around

[Mach 1.5]

40 years old this year and still one of the best break barrels to this day. Mach 1.5

[Errol]

How do they stand up accuracy wise against the other Weihrauchs?

Buy with confidence. A true modern day hero and still one of the best.

nah, .25

[Black Beard]

nah, .25

I've got one with a .25 carbine barrel and it shoots really nicely. It is very quiet with a small silencer.

I've always figured that the extra air capacity consumption of the .25 bore, and the reduced backpressure, together mean less tendency for that piston to bounce when the spring is backed off for 12 FP useage.
