Hello,
I have just joined this forum, I have returned to airpistol after 30yrs, my what a difference in that time. I bought a FWB 103 a few months ago as I shoot indoors and dont want the bother of compressed air. I have found that the book says that the trigger can be cocked for dryfire by lifting the 'flap', I found that I have to pump the piston for every dryfire shot which make it very tiring. Has anyone got this pistol and can tell me how it works.

You don't have to pump the piston for dry fire. You can cock the pistol by opening the flap manually and pushing it far enough until it clicks. When you have done that, be sure to flick the small horizontal switch (at the left side below the flap) to the rear. This allows you to dry-fire.
To return to life firing, cock the pistol using only the flap (not by pumping the piston since the air valve is not open), and flick the switch back to the front, then pull the trigger one last time. The sound will be a little different than in dry-fire mode and your pistol will be ready for shooting again.

Many thanks Imrahil,
I can see now that I was frightened of braking the flap, thanks for your help.
