    HW-100 arrived today

    Hello all
    New to the Forum and PCP’s.
    Haven’t shot it yet (still unboxing and getting familiar) but very excited to get started.
    Mounted a Hawke 3-9x40 scope with UTG mounts.
    Not sure about your side of the pond but inventory for just about anything in the US is sketchy, so the Air tank is on back order.
    I guess I’ll be rationing my shots with the air it came with.
    How many shots do you figure a full gun cylinder will provide?
    Thanks Ed

    Welcome to the forum.

    Depends what pressure it has been filled to. I get 4 mags out of a fill out on mine, a 22 will get a few more.

    welcome... what it's running at 30 foot-pound ? Presume .22 ?

    Good purchase 👍🏻

    I think the HW100 is the best all rounder PCP that you can buy.

    As already said, shot count will depend on your power level, caliber and cylinder size.

    My old sub 12 KT in .177 would get just over 4 mags (56 shots) as standard. When I fitted an A&M cylinder, it would do just under 7 mags (98) shots.

    All of the above.

    Welcome...
    I have recently bought my first PCP and have a new 100 in a KT synthetic, You won’t be disappointed.
    I have a 177 and get about 60 per fill.
    I have done a lot of Pellet testing and found the JSB exact by far the most accurate and flattest trajectory.
    Enjoy 😁

    I admire he engineering, fit and finish of the HW100. But I sold it, while keeping my Daystate MK4is - just saying!

    Thanks guys
    This setup is a 22cal, carbine w/ thumbhole. Not exactly sure what size the cylinder is but it’s whatever it comes with.
    My first rifle ((which I returned in a week) was a Gamo Magnum 22.
    No comparison in quality but I thought being less dependent on filling tanks etc…. would be more convenient.
    Boy was I wrong!!
    Cocking the thing required me, my wife, and three of the neighbors. The gun but Almost popped a nut and I got a black and blue bruise on my leg.
    All of that for one shot.
    Extremely accurate however but no worth the pain.

    Hi John

    Congratulations on your new purchase.

    Much will depend on it's power settings and calibre, and obviously how much air it came with, so not something your going to get a credible answer for I'm afraid.

    If I were you I'd also change my location to include "USA" or similar, as your laws are very different, so it lets people understand when your post stuff that for here would seem strange

    Welcome to the forum buddy.

    I actually did a full shot string yesterday of my recently acquired HW100 ks in .22. Totally standard, I stopped at 100 shots. All shots between 11.3 - 11.6. Weihrauch figures state 75 shots, so well happy.
