    Almost passes the *does it look like Robocop's gun* test - but it looks well expensive?

    It's not semi-auto or anything, is it?

    Arguably, as you know, all multishot air rifles are bullshitter's guns -- but all multishot air pistols most definately are.

    Not semi auto, but it is still 17 ft/lb same as the HW. A 17 ft/lb multi-shot pistol. The Ultimate bullshitters gun!

    How a pistol should be

    Pig, pig ugly beyond words....i didnt think something could be designed to look so bad or be so big in the hand. Even the 70s Scorpion pistol looks and handles better.
    Look at the styling and handiness of say a Crosman 150 but this designed 50 years ago..

    Maybe these people need some pointers ...
    Keep it handy....a pistol doesnt really need to be longer than 9.5 inches, or look like a 1960 Star Trek prop.
    Give it some sleek styling for pride of ownership .
    If they had simply made a double pump valve for the HW75 it would have sold all day long at 300 quid.

    And of course, the HW44’s phat booty.

    Looks: It's an air pistol, are there any good looking air pistols?
