2. KEY FACTS Walther P99 Blowback Airsoft Pistol Verified Buyer – 15 March 2025

   It’s a Walther P99 Airsoft gun with blowback for about $60, what’s not to like? Firstly, the Walther P99 is one of my personal favorite handguns. I’ve loved the look of it ever since I saw the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies in the theater back in 1997. And, I actually fired a real one at a range years ago, it’s a really nice gun. I already have a spring airsoft version of the gun, but when I saw this gas blowback one was so inexpensive and highly rated, I had to buy one. Starting with the positives: The gun is a faithful recreation of the Walther P99 DAO. But, this shouldn’t be a surprise as Umarex owns Walther. Just like the real gun, the lower receiver is polymer and the slide is metal. The inner barrel is also metal, as are the slide release and the magazine. Though, the bottom piece for the mag is polymer, as are the trigger and outer barrel. The inner workings must contain a fair amount of metal too, because the slide slams forward with a loud(ish) clanging sound. So, it’s loud and obnoxious. So am I, so the gun is a nice fit for me. It’s also pretty heavy. According to the package, it’s 1.76 pounds. According to the Walther website, the real P99 is 1.5 pounds empty, so this one probably weighs in about the same as a loaded one. The gun is a lot of fun to fire and it’s pretty accurate out to about 15 feet. I haven’t tested it beyond that. It’s also gas conservative, I can get 10 mags of good shooting out of a 12g Crosman CO2 cartridge before the FPS drops too low to be useful. I quite like how the CO2 goes into the grip and the gun uses a stick mag. That way, if I decide to get more mags, I don’t have to put CO2 in all of them. Also, the bottom piece on the mag covers the tab for the CO2 plunger, giving the gun a cleaner look. Now for the neutral: This gun isn’t a true gas blowback gun. When you fire it, the slide does go to the rear. However, it doesn’t chamber the next round like a true GBB gun, a real firearm or a spring airsoft gun. The gun really fires like a double action non blowback gun and the slide blowing back only looks cool and gives you some recoil. Though, it also locks to the rear when your mag is empty, which is much nicer than a GNB gun. (you have to count shots with those) But, you can fire the gun with the mag locked to the rear, which wouldn’t be possible with a true GBB or springer airsoft gun or a real firearm. But, for $60, I can’t complain. The trigger pull is also long and heavy, but that should be expected from a double action only (DAO) gun. The negatives: Really only a couple things here. Firstly, the slide spring isn’t very good. The slide moves more easily than it should. I can effortlessly move it with one finger. That’s not normal. Though, it may be that way so that it uses less gas to blow back the slide, which is fine with me if that’s the case. Either way, it’s not a problem for me. Secondly, the gun is a bit rattly. If you move the gun too fast, he slide can move a bit and make that clanging noise, and the tab for the CO2 plunger rattles. Not an issue for me as I just target shoot, but it could be a problem for people trying to be stealthy playing airsoft competitively. Though, as soon as you fire the thing, they’ll know where you are anyway. Bottom line, this is a good gun. It’s a lot of fun to shoot. When I first opened the package, the loose slide kind of bothered me, but once I started firing it, I was having nothing but fun. Besides, for $60, what’s there to complain about? The gun is heavy, solid and loud. It sips gas for a blowback and it’s accurate. I can certainly live with it.

   Shoots great. Accuracy isn’t always the best. For me it hovers at a little over 300 fps with a fresh co2 cartridge. I get about four mags in one cartridge. 4 stars because sometimes the slide stays back when it blows back even though the magazine isn’t empty. I have two mags and it does the same thing with both. After playing with the magazine, I’ve noticed the slide only catches if I put an empty mag in and the spring isn’t held back the way it would be if the mag was loaded. Not sure why the slide catch engages while shooting. I can put an empty mag in with the spring locked back and dry fire with no problem, but it engages after 4 or 5 shots with a loaded mag. Great for the price, i love to terrify my cqc arena with this thing, it is rather loud when that metal slide blows back. Wouldn’t recommend it for stealth, but that’s not really the airsoft way anyhow.
