Walther P99 Pistol Spring Replica

The Walther P99 pistol is a classic in the family of police-issue sidearms. This German design has been in production since the 1990s and is now also available in an ASG version. The airsoft version of this gun was prepared for you by Umarex - a company that - in the 1990s - merged with the Carl Walther brand. Umarex is also one of the largest manufacturers of airsoft guns. The cooperation of these two giants of the military industry simply had to have resulted in an unusual product. Don't you think so too? Read on!

Umarex and Walther - manufacturer of the P99

The merger of Umarex and Walther was a groundbreaking event for both companies, allowing further development for both of them. Walther continued to produce firearms - moving it to the most modern factory in Europe, and Umarex obtained a license that allows it to use original markings on its airsoft versions of Walther models. If you're into realistic, faithful looks and want your ASG to accurately imitate the real firearm, the Walther P99 pistol is a must-have for your collection. Of course, these are not the only advantages of having a licensed airsoft version of a real firearm. Let's see what else the manufacturer has in store for you.

What are the most characteristic features of the P99 Walther airsoft gun?

This ASG has almost the same dimensions as the Walther P99 pistol - it weighs less than 600 grams, with a length of 182 mm, making it a very compact airsoft pistol. Its weight makes it a very comfortable fit in-hand, increasing the realism of handling. If it were too light, it would be more like a toy than a real weapon. But that's not the case - this ASG provides a realistic experience, while not being overweight and burdensome.

The P99 airsoft gun is powered by compressed carbon dioxide. It is compatible with interchangeable capsules, with a capacity of 12 grams, fitted into the back of the pistol grip. The Low-Cap magazine holds 15 6mm caliber BBs and is clipped into the handle. For comparison, the Walther P99 firearm uses 9 mm caliber ammunition, with the same capacity of 15 rounds.

Walther P99 airsoft gun - design

The body of this ASG weapon is made of durable plastic, but it also features individual parts made of metal - lock, barrel and other small elements. The convenient safety (shot lock) is located on the right side of the body - just above the trigger. The ambidextrous magazine release and the bolt release lever allow comfortable use of this airsoft gun by both right-handed and left-handed shooters.

The pistol is equipped with a front, 22mm RIS mounting rail, allowing to affix additional equipment - e.g. laser sight or flashlight, guaranteeing increased shooting precision in any conditions. The set includes the magazine. Of course, the Walther P99 holster fits perfectly with your weapon, providing safe carry and storage of your equipment.

The most important parameters and features of the Walther P99 airsoft gun

The P99 ASG allows only single fire, but its shooting capabilities are truly awesome. As befits a CO2-powered airsoft gun, it is characterized by high - even enormous - punching power. The initial BB speed approximates 470-520 FPS. Velocities of this range are not often found on the airsoft battlefield - not only in airsoft pistols but even assault rifles or sniper rifles. What we have here is definitely a unique design, guaranteeing that your BBs will travel really long distances. The Hop-Up system, used to provide spin to BBs, is also a helpful feature.

For the purposes of increased realism, the airsoft gun features a Blow Back recoil system, providing additional feel similar to the actual firearm. When the trigger is pulled, the slide recoils backwards, which cocks the hammer. After firing, the slide returns to its original position and loads another BB into the barrel, so you can fire another shot.

To wrap things up - let's discuss the DAO feature - a double-acting only system, installed in the trigger mechanism. Its purpose is to protect the shooter from firing an accidental shot. It necessitates a stronger squeeze of the trigger, which has to travel a longer distance for the BB to be fired from the ASG. This requires greater effort and affects the precision of the shot, but it certainly increases the safety of using the airsoft gun.

The Walther P99 ASG and its applications

The P99 pistol is mainly used by uniformed forces in Germany and Poland. Its airsoft version is, on the other hand, universal - this type of weapon does not require any permits. It will perform perfectly in various airsoft scenarios; however, you will not be able to use it on every battlefield. If you were planning to take your P99 airsoft gun to a CQB arena - well, unfortunately we have some bad news for you. Its initial muzzle velocity significantly exceeds the limits imposed in the case of indoor, close-quarter engagements. A reminder - CQC limits the maximum muzzle velocity to 350 FPS.

However, the truly awesome power of this ASG will prove a great advantage in open spaces. It performs well at medium distances, and experienced shooters may even attempt to use it at longer ranges. This airsoft gun is light and compact, so you can use it in speedsoft, as well as in traditional airsoft scenarios. It's a great piece for those of you who prefer mobile, extremely tactical equipment. Keep in mind that the P99 ASG allows only single fire, so if you're planning to go against airsoft assault rifles and other automatic weapons, you have to shoot really precisely. It can also be used as a backup airsoft gun, in the event of an unexpected failure of your primary weapon.

Walther P99 - the airsoft gun for those who crave POWER!

The Walther P99 pistol is also a good tool for recreational target shooting, in your garden or at the shooting range, when you're not in the mood for strenuous activities and going against opponents. This model will provide great experience not only because of its great power. Accurate reproduction of its firearm cousin, the use of original markings, high-quality materials, a metal slide and the Blow Back system - all this increases the realism of using the P99. And isn't that what we usually look for in our airsoft guns? If you're a true realistic weapons buff, the Walther P99 by Umarex is an absolute must-have!
