Me shooting an EMGE Zenit, Webley Senior, Walther LP53, Diana Mod 6, Crosman 600, Feinwerkbau 90, FB Record LP2, Eusta LP210, Fb Record LP68 and finally a Webley E series Premier.
The aim is to share some history and interesting facts about these old air pistols, show how they work and demonstrate their potential accuracy.

All filmed at 'Pete's Airgun Farm' near Chelmsford in Essex U.K

Reference: ‘The Encyclopaedia of Spring Air Pistols’ by John Griffiths

I feel I should mention that when we began filming this the Zenit missed the 10 yd spinner a few times so I just said 'I'll shoot the Zenit at the tin can', and that take (with the subsequent pistols hitting on target) was a success.

Feeling bad for the lovely old Zenit I then tried to do some retakes but starting with the Zenit aiming at the 10 yd spinner.
I have to report that it hit the spinner multiple times but then I would invariably miss with one of the following pistols.
Loath to have any unnecessary edits I had to stick with the most successful run in which the Zenit only hit the tin can.
I wouldn't want anyone to go away thinking the Zenit is inaccurate, in fact I think it's a fantastic pistol design and I'll be shooting a nice Milbro G4 in a later instalment.

Cheers
