Walther P99 Airsoft Gas Blow Back Gas Pistol

This is the second one I've purchased both work great! I run mine with propane, and even though the slide is plastic, I've never had an issue with this gun (the other P99 I've had for about 6 years.) This gun looks extremely cool, and it feels really good in hand, almost the same as my real steel P99. gas consumption is also really good, I tend to get about two and a half mags off of one charge.

The plastic slide and outer barrel for one, there is a shooters design metal kit out there but good luck finding it, it's been discontinued for a long time now. it would also be cool if this gun came with the extra back straps like my real P99 did (seeing as how you can remove it like the real one.) also a new model with the picatinny front rail instead of a proprietary one, and the longer mag release levers would be really cool. Honestly I would love for KWA or WE-Tech to make a P99 model.

At it's low price point you can't go wrong with this gun. With proper maintenance, this gun will serve any airsofter well as a reliable sidearm.

Perfect replica, decent weight, and excellent handling. Nice solid kick, and positive slide cycling action.

Too much slack all over this gun. The slide rattles, and there is play between the inner and outer barrels. Also, this is not the Maruzen P99 so positively reviewed elsewhere on the web; this version has a flimsy plastic outer barrel and chamber, with no marking on part of the chamber visible through the ejection port when the slide is in battery. Other versions have the trademark and "9mmx19" stamped on this part. The guide rod is plastic, too, which was really surprising, and the recoil spring seems weak – slide sticks about a half inch from the front of the frame on occasion when racking manually.

Overall, a nice gun, shoots decently, but build quality of the slide and barrel disappointing. This appears to be an export-only version and is distributed by Umarez USA (the manual is in English). A metal outer barrel upgrade would be great, but parts are impossible to find now. A metal slide would be great, but same problem with availability, and you'd need to install a heavier recoil and hammer spring, and possibly use only green gas to get the heavier slide to cycle properly.

Great detail. Functioning decocker like the real deal. Trigger system is like the real steel. Adjustable rear sight.

ABS Plastic Slide - its a joke. If it was metal I would consider this one of the nicest GBB replicas ive ever held. FYI - Metal slides are almost impossible to come by so dont think this will be an easy upgrade. If you do find one, its going to cost about what the pistol cost after shipping and might not even have the walther trademarks. Plastic outer barrel and guide rod. This I dont understand as the some of the older ones had metal ones. Maruzen, what is that all about? And why is this not based on the newer P99 without ski-hump trigger guard and weaver rail. Too much play between outer and inner barrel that sometimes causes jams during blowback cycle.

If you want a P99 just to collect and shoot from time to time, get it as you'll love it. If you want a skrim viable pistol, don't.

I gave 1 star for value because it is way overpriced considering the lack of metal parts and its durability, but alas, its like the only p99 GBB on the market....

This gun is VERY durable! The bottom grip is made of strong ABS plastic and the magazines feel strong and sturdy. Nice accuracy too. If you zero in on the hop-up until it is just right, you will be able to hit a soda can at 40-50 ft. I like the size and shape of the gun. It has a awesome look and is a great replica of the real thing.

Adjusting the hop up is a SERIOUS annoyance. But do not adjust it hastily. If you take your time you will be able to get a .20 gram bb to travel far and accurate. I would definetly change the slide of the gun. It is a thin plastic material that is not as strong as the grip. When you compare the slide plastic to the ABS, the slide looks a piece of junk. I would also make the trigger full metal. It is a strong abs, but metal feels, sounds, and works a lot better.

I have upgrade my P99 with all metal parts except the grip, which is supposed to be ABS anyway. The top slide of my gun is all metal and it has a sweet mock silencer on it to. Upgrade your P99 with metal parts, and you will love it to death! My gun makes a great sound as the blowback cycles. Unfortunetly, all the upgrades I have made to it were pretty expensive..... Even if you do not plan on dishing out a couple hundred bucks on upgrades, get this gun anyway. You WILL NOT regret it. I also recommend using .20 gram BB's and green gas (also known as HFC 22 gas). YOu should also consider buying some spare magazines, even though they are a bit on the pricey side.

This is not the Maruzen p99 of five years ago. This is an export-only version that takes propane more fluently than it does 134a. reliability is excellent (I would go as far as to say near-perfect), power is very good for the barrel length, and accuracy is usable out of the box.

Accuracy out of the box is not quite on par with other pistols in this price range (price range being key, the accuracy isn't bad, just not great), though there are substantial after-market upgrades available which will make this gun entirely usable as a skirmish primary. With just a metal outer barrel, precision inner barrel, and some simple custom adjustments in the fit of the internal parts it can consistently hit a 2-liter bottle at about 75ft.

This is a great and unique airsoft pistol. The look and feel is amazing, it's far more quick and point-able than anything else I own (mostly because it's so small and light) and with propane a viable option and a choice of standard or extended 40-round magazines available this makes a good choice as a cqb or skirmish sidearm.

The poly-fiber reciever frame, the high flow gas valve, full replicated functions of the real steel, the realistic weight, i compared this to my real p99, and it weighs nearly identical, but the balance is a little to the back, the blowback generates about half the force of a .22 auto, the durability of the new maruzen design is awsome, i have found that it can use propane extensively (20,000 rnds so far) without any performance issues, or parts breaking, alowing it to shoot well over 320 fps, but constant lubing (every 1,500 rnds. or so) is a necessity. currently my gun is in it's origional condition with no flaws save some scratches on the magazine. the magazine also holds enough charge(propane) for two and a half mags easily.

plan to give it a metal slide and thats about it.

this gun can challenge any other on the skirmish feild or t the target range.

Cool looking and feels good in hand shoots very accuratly (I shoot at targets) weight is perfect like the feel of the gun it has some type of fiberglass abs renforced lower half that actually feels like steel.

a little more power would be nice I use 134A in my gun

cool factor of this gun = 100%
