Walther SG9000 Co2 BB Shotgun

I have bought a used Walther SG9000 .177cal./4.5mm Steel BB Co2 Shotgun that was posted at gunpost dot CA.
Hopefully i will recieve it someday next week.

This Co2 BB gun is a unique airgun that has a single BB mode  and 3-BB mode, with a 40 round spring fed magazine.
ReplicaAirguns Mike tested his, and it shot single BB's across the chronograph in the low 500 fps range, and blasted 3 BB's in the low 300 fps range!

The SG9000 uses the large 88 gram Co2 cartridges, so i will have to make a trip to the sporting goods store to buy a couple of those large cartridges.

On Amazon,I found a supposed 12 gram Co2 adapter with 88 gram Co2 threads which enables me to use the smaller Co2 cartridges.
We will see if it actually works when it arrives later next week.

Beeman P1 Magnum .22cal. & Walther PPQ M2 T4E .43cal.

My Beeman P1 Magnum .22cal. spring piston air pistol & Walther PPQ M2 T4E .43cal. Co2 pistol, plus the extra PPQ T4E "Emergency" magazine represent $1100 of the hard earned dollars that I have invested in my AirGun hobby/collection.

A thousand dollar picture🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫

The Beeman P1 is by far the higher quality air pistol, and will probably still be shooting great long after I am dead.
Beeman first introduced the model P1 Magnum in the 1980's, and the following are pages from the 1984 and 1986 Beeman Precision AirGuns catalogs...

I have posted about the awesome Walther PPQ M2 T4E Co2 pistol and my favorite ammunition to feed it, RIOT-BALL!!!

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.

Walther PPQ M2 T4E .43cal. Co2 Pistol

Umarex distributes the Walther PPQ M2 T4E .43cal. Co2 pistol.
"Riot-Ball" ammunition  roundball ammo made from PVC/nylon and is dense and very hard.
They are designed for "less than lethal" self defense and training.

I bought my Walther PPQ M2 T4E because when combined with Riot-Ball ammo, it is an amazing big bore Co2 pistol🔫

I bought 20 rounds of 5.2gram .43cal./10.85mm steel roundball from an eBay seller in Germany.
They load and cycle perfectly, but the muzzle velocity seems consistently around 150-170 fps, which creates the same muzzle energy of 5 fpe (foot-pounds) as the much lighter one gram/round  Riot-Ball ammo.

Walther Arms & 007's LP-53

Even though 007, James Bond carried a Walther PPK at this time, he appeared in this press photo and illustrated movie poster brandishing a Walther LP-53, a .177 caliber pellet  break barrel spring piston target pistol.

The LP-53's appearance was based on the Nazi-Era   Walther M1936 Olympia .22LR Semi-Automatic Target Pistol.

The "Luft-Pistole 53" certainly does look like the famous Olympia M1936!

The Walther LP-53 had a Polish made clone by the name of "Predom Lucznik" , which sometimes pops up for sale on the Canadian collectable AirGun websites, and it is much  more affordable and more powerful  than when someone is selling a Walther LP-53.
I regret not buying a "Predom-Lucznik" from Mr.Marvin "the AirGun Guy" five or six years ago, instead I basically flipped aacoin to decide, and I  bough a near mint condition, very rare variant of the Crosman model 150 .22 cal. Co2 pellet pistol...a Hawthorne Montgomery Ward M-150, which was a smarter choice, because it is a 60+ year old brand new, very powerful, and very collectable Co2 pistol that has probably appreciated in value during the six years that I have owned it.
Regardless, I still wish I had the spare cash to have bought both air pistols the one and only time that I have seen either one for sale in Canada.

Below is a few photos of the Predom-Lucznik .177cal/4.5mm spring piston air pistol that was made during the 1970's.
