Weihrauch & Weihrauch GmbH & Co. KG is a German manufacturer of target and sporting air rifles and air pistols. The company also manufactures a small range of cartridge rifles and pistols. In North America they are often distributed under the "Beeman" brand name. Weihrauch air rifles have a reputation for being rugged and solidly-built, but heavy; an accessorised HW 77 can weigh as much as 10 lbs.

[edit] HW 97 K

Air rifle from Weihrauch available in 0.177 and 0.22 calibres. This rifle is a shortened version of the HW77 and incorporates a silencer in the rifle which is of limited but useful effect with a spring air rifle since a large proportion of the noise when firing is caused by the spring releasing its energy and not the air which escapes the muzzle. The rifle is very well made although at 4.2kg is heavy to hold and fire. There are numerous tuning options available which increase power and are reported to improve the smoothness of the firing cycle. This rifle is based on the HW77 which has received wide acclaim within the slightly antiquated realm of spring air rifles.
