description Walther LGR Overview
The Walther LGR is a German match air rifle developed for 10-metre target competition. It uses a single-stroke pneumatic system, in which one operating stroke compresses the air needed for the next shot, avoiding the separate air cylinders used by later pre-charged pneumatic rifles. Known for its recoilless operation and match-oriented sights and stock, it represents an important stage in precision air-rifle development.

What is the Walther LGR designed for?
The Walther LGR is a 10-metre match air rifle for target competition. It fires one 4.5 mm diabolo airgun pellet at a time through a single-stroke pneumatic system. [Walther LGR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walther_LGR)
How does the LGR's single-stroke pneumatic system work?
One operating stroke compresses the air needed for the next shot, so the rifle does not need a separate pre-charged air cylinder. The system was valued for recoilless and low-vibration shooting in 10-metre competition. [Walther LGR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walther_LGR)
Which match rifles competed with or followed the Walther LGR?
The LGR initially competed with spring-piston rifles such as the Feinwerkbau 300S. Feinwerkbau's 600 series, introduced in 1984, became a major later single-stroke rival and helped end the LGR's dominance. [Walther LGR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walther_LGR)
What Walther LGR variants were made?
The documented family includes the LGR Match, LGR Match Universal, LGR Moving Target, and LGR Junior. These variants adapted the same basic 10-metre single-stroke concept for different competition uses. [Walther LGR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walther_LGR)
