You can see where Roy Hutchinson got his inspiration from when he designed the Sterling HR81.
 
That is a very nicely presented set.

I must admit, a cased Webley Service and its accessories can be very attractive and this set will undoubtedly make someone very happy.
 
Nothing impossible about those ports.
I'm afraid Robert Beeman would disagree with you, which is why in 1979 his Weihrauch brief for a magnum break action air rifle had to have a short transfer port unlike the type fitted to the HW35. But yes these odd designs do appear to work more efficiently than one would first imagine.

Yes, the length/volume and diameter of the transfer port will of course all have an effect on performance. I thought when you used the word 'impossible' you were referring to the hairpin bend in the Webley system, as, contrary to intuition, this has a negligible effect compared to a linear port of the same dimensions. Beeman himself used this to good effect when he helped design the Weihrauch HW45 pistol.
