A well sorted Vulcan, cocked carefully 'dead on axis' will shoot and wear very well -

If you give a new shooter a Vulcan (with a trigger replacement/upgrade) I'd put money on them shooting it a lot better than an hw35, 335, or FWB despite the better engineering of these models

The old Webleys, are and were just very easy to shoot well with, and certainly in 22 with the correct pellet selected (superdome, old wasp, trophy's) if not a accurate as the german guns, so so so so so close that it really doesn't make any difference in real terms

That protruding barrel is the easiest thing to load too, you don't have to stare at your breach, can be done fast by pure feel -

But yes, they will never be valuable guns, are prone to easy bend barrels, have largely been knacked by ox springs etc when you find them, or jaws pushed apart by cocking in correctly with poor technique. They were originally 'cheap' thus going into the hands of 'non enthusiasts' , really good ones must be getting thinner on the ground now -
