Webley Tempest & Typhoon, .177 Cal.


When I was a kid, we thought of these like we would never have one. Only “Rich” people had these. haha

.177 Cal. Target Style, Air Pistol, Made in Britain

Intended Use


This was my backup gun for grouse hunting with my recurve bow. If the shot was risky then this would be employed instead of risking the loss of an expensive arrow.

Effective Range

Maximum range on this? Realistically, about 10 Yds.

Traditional top break action, single shot, spring piston, single shot airgun.

Controls

Grips

Sights

These air pistols were fitted with a fully adjustable rear sight, it was finicky but it worked.

Optics

The Tempest was never designed for optics of any kind. The Typhoon did have an optional optic in it’s day but I have not seen one.

Magazines

Single shot, one at a time. haha



Accessories


Holsters

Lights

Neither the Tempest or the Typhoon were ever designed to be be used with lights.

Ammunition Handling

If it was 1970 I’d say you keep your pellets in your mouth so they are handy & nicely lubricated when you need them, but …..



What would I Change?


Nothing. These are just cool factor guns these days. The kind you dreamed of owning when you were a kid and occasionally they come up for sale.



Ammunition


Standard .177 Cal. Pellets or Darts (If you’re made of money) haha



Shooting Results


Factory Ammunition

I have tested these on pop cans at about 10 – 15 Yds. and they’re great.

What’s Next?

Nothing left to do with these, The Tempest is no longer legal to use for hunting where I live so these are both “Range Queens”.
