Walther P-38, Mauser M712 & the Luger P-08 Parabellum Co2 .177cal/4.5mm Steel BB Pistols




My Walther P-38 Co2 pistol is one of my favorite replica AirGuns, and I liked it so much, I bought a replica WW2 German military P-38 leather holster to store the pistol in🔫
The P-38 is a semi-automatic with blowback action that cocks the hammer and the muzzle velocity is an impressive 400 fps!





The German Military sidearm that the P-38 replaced just before WW2, was the P08 Parabellum designed by G. Luger and picked up by the German Military in 1908.
Umarex released two versions, one, which I have is a double action only pistol with a fixed toggle assembly, and a muzzle velocity of 410 fps, and the other is an ultra realistic model, with full blowback toggle action, and field strippable, with a muzzle velocity of 300 fps.
I am not a fan of the Co2 pistols with power ratings that low, so I chose the higher powered non-blowback version, and I don't regret my choice on bit.









Umarex Legends "Mauser" M712
.177cal/4.5mm steel BB
Co2 full/semi-automatic blowback action
Muzzle velocity: 360 fps



The .177cal/4.5mm steel BB Mauser M712 is a select fire weapon just like the gunpowder cartridge version.
The bolt cycles back and forth at a terrific speed in full auto mode.
