Weihrauch

Weihrauch & Weihrauch GmbH & Co. KG builds precision air rifles and air pistols in Mellrichstadt, Germany, and also manufactures firearms, including the Windicator double action revolver imported in the United States by EAA. Flagship airgun families include the HW100 pre charged pneumatic line and the HW97K spring piston underlever, complemented by pistols such as the HW45, HW40, HW44, and HW75. The brand’s focus on clean machining, efficient powerplants, and careful assembly has made Weihrauch a mainstay for target shooters and hunters.

Tactical Precision

Weihrauch rifles and pistols are tuned for predictable shot release and tight groups. HW100 variants pair a sidelever system, magazine feed, and a regulated or self regulating valve for consistent velocities. The HW97K’s fixed barrel and underlever layout stabilize harmonics, while HW45 and HW40 pistols retain crisp, adjustable triggers for controlled break and repeatable sights.

Multi Mission Ready

The catalog supports benchrest practice, small game pesting where legal, and field target disciplines. PCP models offer quiet operation with moderators and multi shot magazines, while spring piston platforms provide self contained power for travel or remote use. Across the range, ambidextrous handling, quality stocks, and straightforward optics mounting keep setups versatile.

Durability Without Compromise

Cold hammer forged barrels, robust receivers, and corrosion resistant finishes contribute to long service life. PCP cylinders use 200 bar fills with integral gauges and quick fill ports, and spring guns emphasize sealed compression tubes and proven cocking linkages. Triggers and controls are built for high round counts with minimal drift.

Product Focus

Rifles

HW100 models deliver smooth sidelever cycling, double feed prevention, and excellent shot to shot consistency from their magazine system and valve design. For shooters who prefer self contained power, the HW97K underlever remains a benchmark for spring accuracy, with a fixed barrel, tuned piston system, and scope friendly stocks. Both families are supported by caliber options and package configurations that suit target work and field carry.

Pistols

Weihrauch pistols carry the brand’s hallmark trigger feel and barrel quality. The HW45 is a spring over lever design with two selectable power levels and optics ready dovetails. The HW40 and HW75 use pneumatic systems for low recoil precision, and the HW44 offers PCP performance with multi shot convenience. These platforms serve training and formal target roles with reliable ignition and stable sight pictures.
