Hw100T Or Hw100Kt?

[Max Yells-James 34]

Hi guys, i'm thinking of buying a HW100 but don't know which to get the standard length or Carbine, what are your thoughts?

[villaman 9,982]

_{Had both , carbine far better for balance but less shots un less you get a&m cylinder ,mine does another 30 more shots per fill and with a&m cylinder it makes the gun lighter.}

_{So carbine for me}

[scissorman 13]

Same here. Carbine with A&M cylinder

Ok thanks for that, I've never heard of "A&M" I'll have a look on there website. What i can't understand though is if you can get the same shot count as the standard version why do VerminHuntersTV use the longer, heavier version?

[A1WOC 212]

Shot count with the carbine is less than the standard length but nothing to choose between for accuracy, the carbine is a little easier to tote around in the field, if pushed, personally I would say the standard length feels a little more stable for HFT; and also when unsupported standing shots are taken, but both are beautifully balanced. Don’t be paranoid about the weight difference as you will get used to either. Only fit an aftermarket lighter weight air cylinder for the extra shot count if needed, but quite honestly you have more than enough available good shots for a field shoot or HFT. If you have the opportunity to try both, go with your instinct and not what other people recommend.

A&M cylinder will make them more balanced in both full length and carbine its not just about more shots imho

Mines carbine Max, its Davy's that full length.

 

I like the carbine better.

 

Mines .22 and Davy's is .177.

Oh right I've never realised I thought yours was a standard length one.

[Craig Fosse 286]

Just out of interest, what shot count do you get on both with and without the AM cylinder?

On my .22 kt with the standard cylinder about per fill with the a&m cylinder about 110 per fill

[Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701]

I have the KT and I think its a lovely balanced rifle with the standard cylinder, and not too heavy.

my first impressions were it was a bit short, very pointable, and lighter than I thought It would be.

 

if I could have tried a full length aswell I would have probably gone for full length!!

 

but im weird haha

 

so try both if possible, but if not you wont regret whichever version you get, they are cracking air rifles mate
