    can a new typhoon be made acceptable?

    I rather like the look of the"new" Typhoon but it must have the worse possible reviews of any pistol ever made. I almost feel obliged to buy it because I can't believe any modern gun can be this terrible. Someone at Webley / Hatsan must have "developed" this gun and decided it is of merchantable quality.

    If I fail to snap out of this urge, can this gun be made acceptable? Don't want a tempest and already have a brum Hurricane.

    Wouldn't part with the Hurricane but never understood why they have such a following. I put it down to nostalgia

    Only ever handled a couple, but from that and what I have read everywhere from people I trust, it is a candidate for worst air pistol ever.

    If you like Webleys, get another real one: Premier, Senior, Nemesis.

    If you like big spring pistols, get a Diana model 5, and/or a BSA Scorpion.

    With a little work and a squint it can be made to shoot like a Hatsan!

    I've had one for a few years.

    It is too large and clumsy.

    There is nothing really to like.

    The only air pistol that feels broken out of the box.
    Should be an amnesty for them.

    Everything can be made acceptable. Tune the trigger and fix the recoil slide
