Hi Andy, the HW40 is a single stroke pneumatic (like the old Webley Nemesis) and not a springer as you stated. Closing is the compression stroke.
2:42 that’s what he said
I have the HW45 Black Star, a thing of beauty a gun for life.
Enjoy the video and don’t forget to visit www.vector-air.co.uk and www.aar-OnAir.com see you next week. Follow us on facebook.com/andyairgunreviews
Mrs. AAR is a natural talent
Impressive, especially for the money, already got the HW45 Black Star, I reckon at the price this is, it'll soon be an addition to my collection. Well done Mrs AAR, natural shot there.
..with todays inflation, I paid $300 us. I did pinch my finger one time, ouch! That wont happen again. Compared to my ole Tempest, this guy is twice as light or more. Great review and cheers from Texas.
Thank you. Nice review.
It amuses me when you say your Mrs is a none shooter, I have watched her shoot a lot of pistols for a none shooter, in the first video she may have been, but by now I would say she is a dab hand. Love your reviews. Keep publishing.
it requires some form of cocking aid to help others enjoy our sport, i see a lot of this type and style that have that same issue. I must admit it certainly had a good review and a well balanced video , thank you AAR
Get the P17, for a quarter of the price of the 45, and half the price of the 40.
wow its really cool to have this one
Love my HW40 in .22. Its accurate at 10 yards but not enough power at 20. The trigger is very very good. Well worth the money but I would opt for the 177 for above 10 yards. Recommended.
Hi Andy: Well, while the HW40 is certainly a nice pistol and comes in well below it's counterpart price wise, you really need to take a look at the
Chinese manufactured offering from Beeman, the P-17. I think you'll be pleasantly amazed at the guns durability, shootability, accuracy and most of all it's price... Not £300 , not £140 but a very modest £22 and you'll be hard pressed to tell the difference between the HW40 and the P17. So maybe you'll want to add a forth pistol to that review if you really want the whole picture.
Cheers from across the pond.
Stoeger has a single stroke pneumatic air pistol called the XP4 that looks similar to the HW40, but based on it's price, it probably falls somewhere between the Beeman p17 & HW40 in terms of build quality.
I hope you get your hands on that Stoeger XP4 for review so we can find out if it is a viable and more affordable option for a single stroke pneumatic air pistol.
Bye the bman it's identical and it's cheaper very accurate mine as had 20 or so tins of pellets trough it and it's never mist a beet
I have an early model of the HW 40 PCA without any fiberoptics installed which makes it a bit uneasy to shoot but I actually only shoot it with a scope so this is no issue. It's ideal for plinkering and target shooting on the 10m range.
John Ryder i also have it without optic sights, a little note some competitions will not allow the fibre optic sites “true glow” as its called
@@kanehood3478 Good to know indeed. I don't expect to take it to competitions any time soon but it's nice to think that in case one does, you could wreak havoc among the competitors with a low budget gear. Hahaha! After all, that thing is so amazingly accurate! I have actually extended my range to 15m now and recently put 8 pellets in a group of 1,3cm. Rested and with a scope though, but I like it. I used the cheapest ammo H&N Excite Econ II and it all works like a charm.
Personally 15 years ago i did take mine to competitions (in local club), I never came first but it sure did make a few people wonder why they had spent so much money on a competition grade gun, the highest I placed was 2nd hitting 92 out of 100 2p sized targets at 20m not a bad day at the range, dont get me wrong no good for pest control, but good if you want a good bang for buck, pardon the pun, stay safe and happy shooting
@@kanehood3478 Considering that the shape of the HW 40s sights cannot necessarily be called filigrane that is hands down a very respectable result indeed. I assume the use of 0,52 gram pellets is more prudent for 20m than my 0,48 g ones mentioned above?
I heartily agree with the "bang for buck." Lol
Message received but no worries. If pest control was actually required I would certainly reach for something more adequate. 😉I am lucky not to have pests anyway but pest control with i.e. airguns is prohibited here in Germany anyway. 🤓
I have two blank guns from HW and just like the HW 40, in terms of the high quality of build and performance I honestly find them almost underpriced. So indeed, in all possible categories, the HW 40 is very satisfying to handle and to shoot, may it be range style or sniper style rested and with a scope.
I own the P3 and The P17 ...if I had known I could have gotten the same power ,accuracy ,smooth trigger ,and over all quality of the p3 from it's 30 dollar clone right off the shelf at Wal-Mart, I would have saved a couple hundred bucks and gotten Myself a brace of P17s instead
That's the difference between German and Chinese production, production costs are so much lower in China.
HI Andy, One beautiful and realistic revolver YOU HAVE'NT discovered yet
is: Winchester 4.5 cal .177 pellet Co2 with 8 shot insertable magazines Revolver
Silver bodied. Outstanding realistic image of a real firearm. It's
gone to the top of my collection. It is one you should discover.
I bought a Beeman P17 2004e "deluxe air pistol" from Walmart when I was in the USA for 28 dollars and its almost the same thing, just a licensed copy made in China. The parts are interchangeable. The only thing bad about these guns is that it's easy to move the rear sight when cocking. (you can add loctite) and you can sometimes pinch the skin of your hand when it snaps shut. But a very satisfying pistol to shoot.
Were can i buy it
Hi Andy really enjoy your videos I have just purchased a WEIHRAUCH HW 40 actually today lovely pistol but I am finding it a bit difficult to cock it, obviously I cannot return it as I have used it, plus there is absolutely nothing wrong with it l was in the plumbing and heating trade for 50yrs so used to be quite strong but now 74 the muscles are weaker plus the brain is rusty. Lol I just wondered if you know of any way I could make cocking the gun easier sorry to bother you but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, kind regards Alan.Also I have a GAMO WHISPER AIR RIFLE. and find that quite easy to cock obviously the length of the barrel helps. Thanks for your time.
Nice video as always Andy. Its a great pistol. I have the same so I know :) Keep up the good work. Take care my friend and have a nice weekend. Regards Rune
Get about 400+ using HN field target trophey, the best single stroke pnematic pistol for the money and the trigger is amazing from factory, not a HW75 or a Fas 6004 but at that price wow, almost forgot the trick to cocking it is not to press to hard a steady regular pressure, i usually use my thumb and one finger at the end of the fake slide
Me too. Thumb and three fingers on the slanted surface on either side of the fake slide, just before the rear sight. At the same time I rest the bottom of the grip in my lap and raise the elbow of the pumping hand. This allows for long sessions.
AAR is a bad influence on me! I won an auction for a Beeman P17 and a few days later I found this video and after watching it I went looking for a Weihrauch Hw40 and found one on eBay and I had to have it. In a span of 72 hours I spent $39.99 for the Beeman P17 and $150.00 for the Weihrauch Hw40, I'm sure I'll like them both. I'm hoping the Weihrach is a little easier to load and cock, if not I can live that since I'm not a serious shooter.
A review on the Weirach Hw75 would be great for your viewers & followers!!!!!!!
👍👍👍
Picked up the older version for £100. Love it. So do the kids for knocking cans over in the woods
This pistol is almost identical to the Beeman P17 sold in the US for $30. The US version shoots at 410 fps, rifled barrel , great trigger and accurate. I own and enjoy the Beeman P17.
Me too crazy accurate pistol. I get 433 fps with mine. I put aluminum tape on the piston.
it is the same pistol,
@@robertkuhnke6156 why, does it stop the air from escaping?
@@B0rnles13 No, by adding a disc of aluminium tape to the end of the piston, the compression ratio is improved very slightly and hence the velocity too, but I stress, so slightly that it's not really worth doing in the first place!
Me too, I am impressed with the accuracy, and especially as Mrs. AAR was the 'shootist'! I also like that the barrel is rifled and this HW40 is NOT a BB pistol!
Now if only my preferred Dealer can get some Weihrauch inventory in stock! ( this is as of Dec.18/21 )
Love the reviews, some of the best and most informative on RUclips plus, occasionally, a good joke or two. But please, Andy, stop saying haitch when it should be aitch! There is no "h" in the word aitch. Thank you.
Mickymillersson ; thank you for your kind comments, and with regard to the “Letter H” you are correct of course, as this was the correct pronunciation dating back to French medieval times I believe, the Irish do sound the H though, along with most of the BBC and they have legitimated this recently. I take comfort in the fact that I have Irish ancestors (way Back) and despite being old (nearly Medieval, my kids would claim) I like to think my use of the H puts me in the more youthful category. Who knows I may drop my ‘H’ and some point in the future and hear my mother turn in her grave.😉👍. Thanks for the comments, keep them coming. Andy.
More linguistics than guns! Nottingham and Derby, despite being the Midlands,have an accent more akin to the north nearby Leicester on the other hand has an accent rather similar to Birmingham.H dropping is not practiced by the Irish, Scottish, Geordies(proper Geordies not any kind of north easterners where they do drop H's).
In this semi-profi target group (zoraki/webley, gamo compact, hw40 and hw45) lacks Beeman p-17 (just to asses what chinese trigger did to the thing), hw75 aka crossbreed of hw45 and hw40, FAS 6004 aka better hw75, and IZH46M. Then it is possilbe to dive into profi things and e-triggers with hämmerli, walther, FWB, Styer, AirArms is already here.
??????
One thing I don't understand is the metal trigger on the cheaper hw40 while the hw45 is plastic. The trigger still feels great so maybe it's something to do with the tolerances of the materials and wear over time. I know hw45 is very well made and needs little servicing other than a new breach seal now and again.
"Non shooter" Ms AAR probably tested 100-200 guns already 😂 😂
I know it's and old review but what's the difference between the hw40 and beeman 2004 which is half the price again
Can someone let me know what air rifle that is in the background of the video? Looks really smart
These accuracy tests would be much more scientific and useful if you put the pistols in a vice. That way you are removing shooter skill and chance from the equation, leaving only the accuracy of the pistol itself which, in the end, is what the viewer really want to know.
Is the hw 40 the same gun as the beaman p17, with a different badge? It looks almost identical
The HW40 and Beeman P3 are both made in Germany by Weihrauch, the P17 is made in China under licence from Beeman. Beeman and Weihrauch share ownership of the HW45, HW75, and HW40, P1, P2, and P3 respectively.
@@billythepigeon7345 you are a knowledgeable pidgion
Your chrono figure is interesting (quite low) as I'm getting 421 fps from a Beeman P17.
Cheapest, best airgun you can buy
Both the Beeman and the Weihrauch have the same pros and cons they are identically made. The Weihrauch is made out of better steel. Is one difference the other difference is price. You can buy a Beeman for a fraction of what a Weihrauch costs
The HW40 is the same as the Beeman P3, both made by Weihrauch in Germany. The Beeman P17 is the one made in China under licence from Beeman. QC is one of the complaints I've heard about the P17, although I can't verify that myself as I got the HW40.
I just got the beeman p17. I think its the same?
A springer ?
When Was the hw40 first brought out .Does anyone know?
Mrs. AAR was shooting from 10 meters?
I have a question. When a BB/Pellet gun is rated at .30 cal, .40 cal, .50 cal is it really that powerful?
These numbers refer to the size of the pellet and not the “power”. Using a larger sized pellet in the same gun will result in slower fps scores.
I've been looking at a Beaman p17. Looks like the same thing???
I just got the Beeman on Amazon and its bad ass I highly recommend it 👌
I did buy it and I love it! Very accurate and highly recommended.
It's great for the price. It's a Chinese copy of the original German. The quality and workmanship can't compare. The trigger is MILES better on the HW40. But it's fine on the cheap P17. It's a great value all in all for a china gun.
It's the poor mans version of the HW75. Not the HW45. No spring in this one.
The 75 is one heck of an air pistol best target pistol I've ever owned
The HW75 is a pricey gun, but it's very well made. Luckily picked mine up second hand.
Identical to the beeman p3 or p17 in looks, but the beemans are cheaper, are we paying extra just for the weirauch branding or are there any noticable differences? I must admit i like the extra power for versatality so the webley alecto was my choice, its also a pneumatic but with multi instead of one stroke. Obviously more expensive but has 3 power levels, one stroke up to a maximum of 3 at 5.8ftlbs, , suitable for any close range pest control (10 metres) as long as you are confident with your shot placement for humane dispatch, otherwise do not bother. I went with the. 177 for accuracy and penetration, powerful and accurate. Also find the correct ammo as it makes alot of difference. I like the thunderbolts and rws superpoints. I have an hatsan supercharger as well but thats is a springer but likes the rws superpoints as well, but really enjoys the hypermax. Different guns like different ammo which is something you should bare in mind. Sample packs are available on ebay until you find your own preference. All the best from lancashire U.K
Identical to the Beeman P-17/P3 here in the states. A bear to cock but fun to shoot, especially indoors. An aimpoint really tightens the groups up. I found using a heavy glove on my cocking hand helps reduce the wear and tear on your hand.
And the Beeman P17 clone of the HW 40 is 1/8 the price of the HW45. The P17 actually has a higher average FPS.
Higher fps than the HW45?? Are you sure? I own both and I'm inclined to dissagee.
@@billythepigeon7345 YES BY 5FPS
@@rick31869 source?
@@rick31869 I can't find a pellet for pellet comparison, but from what I can find, and from my own personal experience with both guns, averaged out, the fps of a .177 HW45 is around 150+fps higher than the P17. If you have another source please share.
@@billythepigeon7345 look up the specs at airguns of Arizona
Mrs. AAR. Er...do you know what she did for a living before you met her? :)))
Mark Szawlowski
Mr and mrs smith lol
Looks a lot like a beeman!
Zandah sold as the Beeman in The USA.
That's why. I always thought it was a shitty pistol because of the price, but now I know it's a Weihrauch I might just pick one up.
The Beeman P17 is manufactured in China where the Beeman P3 is a rebranded Wiehrauch
Just an FYI, Beeman share ownership of the HW45, HW75, and HW40, P1, P2, and P3 respectively, with Weihrauch. The P17 is made in China under licence from Beeman. So technically not rebranded, or clones, more a shared design.
Good well made gun, but pity isn't same power as 45
Mrs AAR is fast becoming a bit too experienced to be classed as a non shooter me old mate.
£300 for the HW45 ... MMmmmm , for £200 I got a p700 artamis complete with red dot scope and no need for arms like Popeye too cock it as it's a PCP .. over 20 shots the extreme spread was 3fps .. yes 3 feet per second .. and WAS ( and I emphasize WAS ) 9 ftlb ..and accurate as hell .. benched it easily as accurate as a cheapish rifle ... You can even get an add-on stock / silencer , and in my opinion with those options attached ok for short range pest control .. even now at 5.5 ftlb .. Mrs AAA would LOVE IT ..and I'm sure for a little " favour " ( wink wink ) you could let her use your air tank too fill it up ...
I can open it as much as i want, when i cocked it, it simply vents the air out. Maybe it is impossible to do it with the savety engaged (i don't have it with me to confirm that) but i have opened mine after cocking it countless times. It works with compressed air, so there is no problem dry fireing it. You can also just cock the hammer by opening it about half way (you would hear a click) to train your trigger finger. Much of your Info was wrong, but your grouping was good(ish).
Should really compare to the HW75 as they are both PCA's
theres no point - HW75 is the same as HW40, just got other looks/metal parts
@@swinka and the 75 is miles better and better made also made in or by different company's these are Chinese the 75 is actually made in Germany
@@weirdsciencethe2nd205 but their acccuracy is the same, so whats the point of overpaying? My HW40 is made in Germany. I think with the Chinese ones you mean Beeman P3 and Marksman 2004, which are copies of HW40.
@@swinka I have owned a beeman it fell apart inside and the trigger spring kept on slipping off pos but it was cheap my hw 40 is 10 years old now and never missed a beat and my 75 isn't the same inside its got some deference in quality I. E the trigger mech is highly polished and better than a good chunk of guns full stop it actually reminds me of my CD trigger a little bit on my tx200 basically you get what you pay for I don't see many beemans at the ten meter sessions at my club but there's a lot of baikails and weirauch stuff but the best budget gun is the gamo compact that things way more gun than its price warrents its like a 500pound pistol for 195 it's a steal the grips are walnut and made well and accuracy of the beeman is nowhere the same as any weirauch especially in competition with friends ect at my club been at this a while it's not even a debate sorry... The beeman good for garden practice or if a non shooting friend wants a go
@@swinka it's not - HW75 shoots lower fps :) please check the specs .
Hi would this do for dispatching a rabbit?
3,8 joul ?
You owed your viewers a proper accuracy test. I have one of these and it is tack driving. Half inch group at 10 yards. Go get one.
The Beeman(p17) version of this gun is way cheaper and probably just as accurate.
With the Beeman version mounted with a red dot. At rest, I can get 1.5" groups out to 20 yards. Am sure the Hw40 have much better polymer and trigger assembly materials.
Beeman
WHY NOT GET YOU A BEEMAN P17 FOR 35 BUCKS ?

Haitch. Silent H. Pronounced aitch. Peoples English gets worse.
Some chap feels the need to correct a non-existent linguistic error, then then leaves out an apostrophe! People's English does indeed get worse.
