The new Webley-Venom Paradigm single-stroke pneumatic air rifle

[moparman240]

If I could find any full power songle stoke I would buy it.

[AirgunTester]

@moparman240 Well... BREAKING NEWS (Jan 2012)... although Project Paradigm ultimately got shelved by Webley, the designer has teamed up with another gunmaker, improved it still further... and we could be seeing a reincarnation of this gun by mid-2012!

@moparman240

Me too, cant wait to put my hands in it!

[BigRooster747]

It is now august 2011, a long way from the sale date of march 2010....... where is it???? Rather get the fx independence..... much better technique, and it is in the shops.

[AirgunTester]

@BigRooster747 See my reply to @moparman240. Due to all their previous problems, Webley's new UK agent, Highland Outdoors, decided to shelve the project.

[SarkTheShark94]

i want that gun so badly!!!!!!!!!!

[AirgunTester]

@SarkTheShark94 You and many others... but see my reply @moparman240

looks superb! Unusually nice looks, and the whole guns looks interesting in a "mechanical geek" kinda way!

[kardredren]

Does the safety lever rub on the stock? (the stock looked damaged)

[AirgunTester]

@kardredren No. This was a prototype stock, anyway. It's fine on the production one.

Single stroke only ! what happens on very hot days when air is thin pressure will be low and give poor performance, colder the air the more you get in

should have a blow off valve fitted to compensate for air temp diffrences, that why a tank would be better,

But I like the idea if the gun is strong and reliable

[MrSpikeybird]

he said cock bawhahaha !!!

[r3mote]

did he mention fps, I didn't notice it if he did... full power ?!?

[AirgunTester]

@r3mote FULL POWER - 12 ft lbs... though most will be set around 11.2ft lbs

[solwareltd]

yes Webley have come back with a bang! The Alectro & Paradigm two awesome firearms.

[futurecanadianarmy]

@solwareltd they're not firearms....they're air guns

[lescooke82]

looks like a decent rifle,made in uk aswell :) :) alot of r & r gone into it

[AirgunHunterUK]

Great video, very interesting rifle too.

[papankunci]

thanks for your awesome airguns videos... I really love all of them! keep uo the GREAT work!

[brassbanjo]

Hopefully this will produce full power even in .177 calibre with light pelletes, say 7.9 grains? Some of the earlier signle stroke rifles tended to struggle a bit with such ammo. Hopefully the new accelerator system helps here.

Very promising rifle!

Wear happens to pcp air rifles sooner or later. Its a fact of life, thats why good air rifle companys make replacement seals.

The good thing with single stroke is you dont have the expence of a refill bottle or pump. I for one am eager to see Paradigm on the market. Having already owned the Daystate Sportsman, Titan Mohawk and the Parker-Hale Dragon. I wouldnt mind getting my hands on one.

Thanks for the upload Nigel.

[dove0hunter]

sooner or later these kind of valve are going to wear and fail and cause air leaks PCP`s are much more reliable and powerful but this has a very nice advantedge of not having to refill ur gun every few shots

[AirgunTester]

Actually, the designers disagree with you! There are fewer O-rings in this set-up - and there's not only less pressure on them than a PCP's, but there's also hardly any movement on the parts that deploy them. The designer has also had this rifle running at 19ft/lb with the same type of cocking effort (although that required a modified internal set-up).

[Pageyindahouse]

@AirgunTester how much u rekon??

[AirgunTester]

@Pageyindahouse £699 is what Webley are reckoning on

[Axbent]

@AirgunTester will u test the production version?

[70Mack]

Very interesting,good to see Webley making its rifles in Great Britain again.Where they should be made.Have to look out for that mag too.
