Brigg Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 So, the mysterious clone manufacturer, WELL, also know by such other nebulous names as Galaxy, Bell, and doubtlessly several other names that never point to one manufacturer, has cloned the Wingun Webley revolver. Thats correct. Someone has cloned a Wingun. I thought it was crazy when I saw ARMY cloning the WE rifles but this is even crazier. The price is about $60 USD. I havent seen these on any website but this link, and on ebay so far: http://www.wholesalecentral.com/globeproductsupply/store.cfm?event=itemdetail&itemid=1409616&returnto=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wholesalecentral.com%2Fglobeproductsupply%2Fstore.cfm%3Fevent%3Dshowcatalog%26catid%3D85347 I purchased one and received it today. I thought it would be a staight Wingun clone, but it is not. While the externals are more or less the same, The WELL version uses its own shells which are shorter then wg webley ones. It also, oddly, seems to fit together much tighter then the wingun, as the top break doesnt wobble when locked up. The most interesting change though, is that WELL have used a decent brass barrel with an actual fixed hopup. Not like the wingun who really mean "No hopup" when they say fixed. It has a nub and everything. Ive yet to see how it performs but if you just want a display or holster filler for a WW2 kit, you could do much worse for $60 Heres a comparison picture to a wg "weathered" model (WELL on the top): Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Would you say that the shells are proprietary? Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Well, for sixty bucks I would, the question is when will HK sellers stock it. Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 The Webley is Gun Haven, not WinGun. Unless WG and GH are the same thing... This would be worth it for parts, at the very least, and I'd finally be able to get to modding it without fear of damaging my GH. Ahh, alas, importing is a pain Link to post Share on other sites

WG is the manufacturer for GH. Seen the raw unfinished sample in Jan trade fair, so less than 6 months to market i guess is reasonable timing. Have a friend wanting one here so I'll have a hunt for one too. Link to post Share on other sites

Solid Snake Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Man, that would nicely finish out the Indiana Jones gear I've been working on. Gonna have to set aside some cash. The Gun Haven versions are still really expensive, this seem like a good alternative. Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Will have a couple. The shorter shell would be more realistic, real one uses .38 S&W which are short stubby cartridges not .38 Special. Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted June 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Well, no the real one would use a .455 cartridge which is still stuby, but rather fat.Neither are particularly realistic but whatever. Also when I say the well cartridge is shorter, its by like a millimeter. just enough for wingun shells to not work. Link to post Share on other sites
johny_blaze Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Could they be modified to work? Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted June 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Maybe, im not sure really. you would need new rubber slugs in order to make them work. the brass casing seems to be identical to the wingun ones (both webley and dan wesson shells) Link to post Share on other sites
mimesis Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 So the problem with this, then, is that you're stuck with just the 6 shells that come with the pistol, and if/when they fail, there's no way of acquiring more. Is that right? Link to post Share on other sites

swatti Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Cloners improving the original design... Me likey. Also the link says it has six cylinders. I want a revolver with six cylinders, how cool would that be! Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Also the link says it has six cylinders. I want a revolver with six cylinders, how cool would that be! It's nerf or nothing [link]https://basicnerf.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/zombie_strike_doominator.jpg[/link] But why have six, when you can have eight by Joseph Enouy.
