Heavy piston of quite large diameter, but it still behaves calm during recoil if set up with the correct spring.
Is it just a good combination of stroke, diameter, piston weight and compression?

Too many airguns!
the small port probably balances out the heavy piston.
lighter piston and 3.0mm port would be a good test
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
Disturbing guns that work as well as my Vulcans is not something I want to start with...
The recent threads about dream airguns has my head turning again... The Vulcan just suffers from short forks, which really is a shame.
A Supersport has a much more stable barrel, even if it only has a pin like the Vulcan, but the barrel locks up a lot better.
And then theres Micks recent work on the Diana 35, which puts his action closer to the Webley Vulcan specs.
Maybe a modded Diana 35 really is the perfect sporting breakbarrel...
Too many airguns!

With tight guides and some extra spacing it duplicates this kit: https://www.airrifleheadquarters.com...488/552850.htm
I get around 11fpe in good Vulcans with this setup, some more in the .22's, and some less in the .177's

Anybody know if the bore or stroke and maybe piston weight even was changed from the mk1 and mk2 as I had a mk1 which was one of the best hunting rifles I ever owned and took many many rabbits/ rats / crows etc but I just couldn’t get on with the mk2 I bought and gave up on it after a few month’s, both were .22.
The spring dampener was a milestone in spring guns imho.

Had a venom tuned MK1 back in 1983 and it shot very well. Mach 1.5
I have a webley vulcan mk2 Carbine venom tuned at webley , it’s a stage 2 tune what ever that is . It shoots very well
