Legends P08 CO2 pistol black - 4.5mm steel BBs

Legends P08 Co2 Pistol NBB 4.5mm Steel BBs blackWith the Legends P08 CO2 pistol, you have a replica of the legendary Luger P08. The pistol is powered by a standard 12g CO2 capsule, providing a maximum energy of up to 3.0 Joules. The CO2 capsule is directly inserted into the grip. To do this, only the grip panels need to be removed. The magazine of the P08 is slim but still holds 21 rounds in caliber 4.5mm BB. A blowback system has been omitted in the Legends P08. This means that the propellant gas is only needed for the propulsion of the BBs, allowing the capsule to last significantly longer. The manual safety is located, as with the live model, as a lever on the left side. The sights are fixed, just like the original. The P08 CO2 pistol is made of high-quality full metal construction.Our assessment:In this test, we focus on the Non Blowback CO2 pistol P08. This comes from the high-quality Umarex Legends series. With such a historically significant weapon, the appearance is especially important. This leaves nothing to be desired. The full metal replica has been faithfully crafted to resemble its live counterpart. All parts are, so to speak, in their places. The workmanship is also impeccable. The pistol has been manufactured with great precision, so nothing rattles. However, a blowback system has been deliberately omitted. This has two advantages. On the one hand, the gas lasts noticeably longer for shooting sequences, and on the other hand, the muzzle energy rises to a remarkable 3.0 Joules. The included magazine holds 21 rounds. The CO2 capsule, on the other hand, is screwed into the grip after removing the grip panels. During our shooting test, the good overall impression continued.Whether positive or negative. The Luger P08 is firmly linked to German history. It certainly demonstrated the high German inventive spirit back then. All of this makes the Legends P08 CO2 replica an ideal collector's item for history enthusiasts.Information about the original:Many people think the legendary P08 was the first pistol of its kind. This is only partially true. The toggle-lock mechanism was already used in the Borchardt C93, but it was much too bulky and unreliable. Therefore, the pistol was developed in 1900 in caliber 7.65x21mm Luger. Due to the weak caliber and still quite susceptible design, a pistol in the new caliber 9mm Parabellum was developed. This was then introduced by imperial order as a service weapon under the name P08 (Parabellum 08) in the imperial army. The under-locking mechanism was a real safety gain, as even in the event of a severe malfunction, the shooter's face was less at risk. Additionally, due to tighter manufacturing tolerances compared to, for example, the Browning lock, the pistol had higher inherent precision. A disadvantage of the design was increased sensitivity to dirt combined with a certain ammunition sensitivity. The Luger P-08 was the standard pistol of the German army until 1938. Only from that year was it gradually replaced by the P38. The Mauser factories continued to manufacture the pistol until the late 80s. Since it was also produced under license in other countries, it remains one of the most frequently manufactured handguns to this day.Technical data Legends P08 CO2 pistol:Manufacturer: LegendsModel: P08Type: CO2 pistolSystem: Non BlowbackCaliber: 4.5 mm/.177 BBsDrive: CO2 capsules (12g)Magazine capacity: 21 steel BBsEnergy: max. 3 JoulesSights: fixed rear and frontBarrel length: 116 mmTotal length: 216 mmWeight: 820 gProjectile speed: 125m/sTrigger: Double ActionSafety: manualScope of delivery: 1x Legends P08 CO2 pistol NBB 4.5mm BB blackProduct safety information:Manufacturer: Albrecht Kind GmbH, Hermann-Kind-Str. 18-20, 51645 Gummersbach, GERMANY, E-Mail: [email protected]
