LOL LOL GENE WE KNOW YOU DONT DIG THOSE WALTHER RIFLES AT ALL LOL.


The ones Gene is talking about aren't really Walthers, they just carry the name.  A real Walther has nothing in common with anything made in Turkey.

Gamo pistols with the 20# trigger top my list, I don't have experience with anything else I didn't like at least a little bit.  I think the Gamo PT80 was the ONLY airgun I have ever returned to the store because of it's quality and not because of defects.....and I've owned a few airguns at this point:)  Never shot a Turkish Webley or Walther branded Hatsan, but from the ones I've seen I'd most likely not own one either....it's too bad because those two names in airguns used to mean something, now Hatsan is tarnishing them with their junk.

By far ...

The Beeman RS1 with the direct sear trigger!

After a few hundred rounds, my trigger finger has bulked into another thumb... :)

That was funny, Dan. Is the trigger guard big enough for two fingers? Maybe use a dowel as a lever?

The Marksman .45 pistol.  They were pretty weak forty-some years ago and have gone downhill since.  I was given a "Shootin' Darts" set containing the current production model.  I took it to a gathering and tried to shoot a paper target at about fifteen feet with the darts.  They simply bounced off.  About the third or fourth try, the little barrel fell out.  And the new models, incorporating more plastic, make inferior boat anchors.

I should have made an "L" lever out of tubing or something and shot it like a crossbow... :)

Wound up changing out the trigger.

Forgot.  Bought a Daisy CO2 rifle with the rotary or helical clip about ten years ago.  Was a @#$%^ to load.  First time I took it out, the barrel liner went ten feet.  Promptly returned it to WalMart where it was on clearance for $28.  Wasn't worth 28 cents.

I know a lot of folks like them, but I'd say the Crosman 1077.
Bought a new on for my son a few years ago. The box said semi-auto but it really was just a glorified revolver. After a week one of the seals failed and all the CO2 would blow out of a fresh cartridge in a minute. We took it back to K-Mart and exchanged it. That one failed the same way right out of the box. We returned that one and got the money back.
Maybe they were just old stock with dried out seals...

From all the issues I read on this forum about RWS 350s I'd say they belong on this list too!  :D
Just a joke!
That beautiful Walther up there seemed lonely.

:o  I would not say the WFH and the WTM are the worst airguns. I own all in 17-22-25 cal.  with PA gas spring conversions.  They shoot hard, are very accurate, and have excellent back up via UMAREX.  Yes they have issues  which I'm trying  to debug.  UMAREX has given me exellent assistance in parts like the breech seal issue and also the replacement stock which I got for my WFH.  In this day when everything is so competitive the only thing which will keep you going is the SERVICE AFTER THE SALE.  I bought the WFH in 22, after seeing first hand how UMAREX took care of me, I bought the 17 cal. WTM and now the 25 cal version.  I really dont think you can buy this kind of power and accuracy for just $358.00?  With EXCELLENT service after the sale. Dont believe me???? If you have issues with a UMAREX product,  e-mail GLENN SEITER.  He's the man.  just my 2 cents.............CHINAGUNNER
