I wish I could agree as the air cartridge system resulted in some incredibly realistic airguns.

I owned two back in the day; a Brocock Specialist and Uberti Cattleman. I bought the Brocock for competition use and whilst accuracy was OK, consistency was not. You just never knew if a cartridge was going to discharge when you pulled the trigger and that played havoc with my confidence, as I am sure you can imagine. The Uberti, with its case hardened finish was as much a work of art as an air pistol. Trouble was its accuracy was non existent and the cartridges seemed even more unreliable than the Specialist's, although I think they were both the same.

It's still a crying shame the airgunning public were conned out of buying these classics though.

Kind regards,
