Lol, they definitely seem to keep multiplying. I really enjoy the easy cocking stroke of the Vulcan, and the trigger isn't bad after changing out the spring and polishing the planes of the interference surfaces.
When I switch back to the HW50, who's cocking strong is a fair bit higher compared to the Vulcan, it's all worth it for that Rekord trigger. Still, they're certainly competitive of each other and Vulcans go for 100 bucks, whereas new HW50's are up to like 400 + shipping?
Just a ton of full for all day plinking compared to magnum. Also great rat guns due to their compact size and lower output.

My first "real" air rifle was a Webley Vulcan .177 that I ordered from Beemans in 1981 when I was 15; I put over 30,000 pellets through that rifle. Sometime between 1986 and 1989 I sold it and bought a Beeman R10. I regrettably missed out on a chance on a Webley Omega around that time. The little Vulcan was a great shooter.

Well, with 30k pellets shot, the Vulcan was certainly either a great gun, or a really poor shooter, and you had to try out everything and anything to make it shoot.
I know I've been down the latter road a time or two.

My .22cal Vulcan, due to the type of breech they have, only likes wide skirt pellets like Super Domes. Crosman pellets shoot about 25fps slower than the same weight pellet that is longer overall length and wider skirt. It has an Air Rifle Headquarters tune kit and British purple parachute seal instead of the 2-piece seal it came with. I checked it today since it's been a while since I shot it. Super Domes 14.55g shot at 615fps or 12.21fpe. The old Beeman Silver Bear Hollow Points 12.65g are my favorite choice as they shoot 640fps or 11.50fpe. They shoot faster and are the most accurate in my gun. I still have quite a few but don't know if they are still made.
