Though I didn't know him personally, I have dealt with him in the past, and he had tuned and done trigger work on my TX200. Was always impressed with his honesty and candor. Put a gold trigger on my TX free of charge and a super nice touch, which spoke tons for his character. I'm sure he will be missed by many. Prayers go out to his family from ours. RIP brother man....

I think he's pretty much the reason I'm in this forum. I ran across all the information he posted on his website, and found a link here.
Sorry to hear of his passing.

It is a sad deal. Hopefully, not to be distasteful, but when my family is down, we try to share humor to ease the pain. So here is a story on how I got to know the true "CharlieDaTuna". Years ago, when I was but a newb to the hobby, I bought TX200, and thought a tune was in order even before shooting it. Long story short, I came across Roberts name and went on the internet to find out more. I typed in Charlie Tuna and ended up on a webpage for Chali 2na. Well, Chali 2na is a rapper with Jurassic 5, which at the time was a favorite band of mine. I am not kidding, I though to myself how cool it was to have a rap career and also be a well spoken of air gun guru. Anyway for several days I was amazed by the multi-talented air gun rapper. It was my father who was also getting into airguns at the time with a R9 who corrected me and led me to the real Robert Werner. Boy did I feel silly. Anyway he ended up being multi-talented, just not a famous rapper ta boot. How can I now ever forget him or that story. RIP brother man.

Sorry to hear this, Robert was one of the guys that did a lot to promote this sport going a long ways back. We should all remember his contributions and be happy he was a part of our community.

I can't believe Bob is gone now too. He was someone I looked up to and had much respect and admiration for.
It's strange I was cleaning the Diana 36 I got from Gene yesterday, and remembered that Gene said Bob had tuned it for him when he was first getting into airguns (and Gene later re-tuned it), and was thinking about Bob and wondering how he was doing.
We all have Bob and Gene to thank for the GTA, but this is also a great loss for the entire airgun community.
Rest in peace Bob. Prayers go out to you and your family.
