hw100

HW100 is a line of pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifles produced by Weihrauch & Co., a German firearms and airgun maker. First introduced in the late 1990s, the HW100 is designed for precision shooting and field use, and it has earned a reputation for solid build quality, accuracy, and modular options. The rifle is powered by compressed air stored in an internal or externally supplied reservoir and uses a regulator to deliver consistent velocity across shots.

A key feature is its feeding system, which employs a detachable rotary magazine that feeds pellets to the breech for multi-shot capability without frequent reloading. The action is offered in several calibers, with popular choices including .177, .22, and .25, and performance is tuned to the specific caliber. The stock range includes sporter and wood configurations, with options for adjustable cheekpieces and length of pull on some models. Many versions are fitted with a two-stage, adjustable trigger and a manual safety, and some variants include a muzzle moderator or integrated shroud for noise reduction.

Operation emphasizes repeatable accuracy: after filling the air reservoir to the rated pressure, the user cocks the action and fires, with the regulator helping to maintain consistent velocity throughout the shot string. The HW100 is noted for smooth handling, robust construction, and ergonomic design, although it sits at a higher price point than some entry-level PCP rifles.

Variants and production: over its history the line has seen multiple configurations and stock options, including carbine-length and sporter forms to suit different preferences and regulatory environments. The HW100 remains in production and is supported by Weihrauch service networks for maintenance and parts.

The HW100 is regarded as a high-quality option within the PCP sector, favored by enthusiasts who value precision, consistency, and a refined firing experience.
