Walther P38 Co2 Blowback 4.5mm BB black

Walther P38 CO2 Blowback Pistol 4.5mm - max. 3.5 JoulesDescriptionThe Walther P38 is a CO2 replica from Umarex. Here in caliber 4.5mm BB. A standard 12g CO2 capsule pressurizes the system. This provides a maximum energy of up to 3.5 Joules. Furthermore, the Walther P38 features a blowback system that realistically cycles the slide back with each shot. This also chambers the next round. The magazine holds 20 steel BBs. The CO2 capsule is hidden under the grip panels. The Walther P38 has a single action trigger. Therefore, the weapon must be cocked before the first shot. After that, only the trigger needs to be pulled. On the left side, like the live original, there is a manual safety. The CO2 replica of the Walther P38 is constructed in full metal and visually adapted to the original with grip panels in wood look.Technical data for the Walther P38 CO2 pistolCaliber: 4.5mm steel BBSystem: CO2Drive: 12g CO2 capsulesMagazine capacity: 20 shotsTrigger: Single ActionCO2 system with 12g capsules (not included)max. 3.5 JoulesOur assessmentHere in the test, we have the CO2 Walther P38 from Umarex. The live model has been replicated down to the last detail. Even the two-tone design has been recreated using grip panels in wood look. As with the live P38, the manual safety is located on the left side of the CO2 pistol. Thanks to the use of metal, the loaded weapon achieves a realistic weight of about 1kg. The workmanship also leaves nothing to be desired. All parts have been manufactured very precisely, so nothing rattles. The included magazine holds 20 BBs. A 12g CO2 capsule must be inserted behind the removable grip panels. The blowback system is a lot of fun. The slide of the Walther P38 cycles like the original and reliably chambers the next shot. In our shooting test, the good impression continued. The weapon is very precise at the typical distances for handguns and, thanks to an energy of 3.5 Joules, has extraordinary penetration power.The Walther P38 is a weapon that cannot be overlooked in history. The replica has become so realistic that the pistol can even be disassembled like the original. We had a lot of fun with the test.Information about the originalThe Walther P38 was the standard pistol of the German Wehrmacht and replaced the Pistol 08. Development started in the mid-1930s. After the first 1500 prototype models, the final model was approved in 1938. By the end of World War II, about 1.2 million units had been produced. The P38 featured a pivoting locking mechanism in conjunction with a sliding barrel. The ammunition used was the still-current 9mm Parabellum cartridge. Even after the war, the pistol continued to be produced and was slightly modified as the P1 for the Bundeswehr. Here, a weight advantage of 160g over the P38 was achieved through the use of lightweight metal. Overall, the P38 was used in various versions in 18 other countries besides Germany.Product safety information:Manufacturer: Walther, Im Lehrer Feld 1, 89081 Ulm, GERMANY, E-Mail: [email protected] Responsible: Walther, Im Lehrer Feld 1, 89081 Ulm, GERMANY, E-Mail: [email protected]
