Umarex Walther P99 Co2 Powered Airsoft gas Blowback pistol

"Just bought this to replace an old green gas M9, and I have to say, I couldn't have picked better! Good, solid feel, uses CO2 like a Prius uses gas, and has great FPS! It does have a stick magazine though. (But you can compensate for this in your mag pouch by sticking a CO2 cylinder in there as well)

Pros:
Good weight
Metal and poly durability
Good accuracy/FPS
CO2 Efficient
Has definite power
Great price!

Cons:
Not too good if you're into sneaking around, the action is pretty loud.

"this is one of the best pistols I have ever had!

Pros
you can shoot forever on one cartridge of co2
has a nice kick
nice little hole in the bottom of the mag for speed loading
feels great in your hands
easy to use dotted sights

cons
orange tip is hard to get off

that's it! I highly recommend this gun.

"Just bought this pistol.... LOVE IT. Amazing kick range acusery and power

"this is a really good back up weapon
pros:
nice fps
good co2 consumption some times i think it may never run out lol
looks sweet
shoots accurately
nice metal clack when fired
great blowback kick

cons:
wobbly but for a gun of this price not bad
stick type clip but again for the price not bad

"Has nice fps
Realistic kick
Also a nice backup gun

"This was my first airsoft gun, and I LOVED this thing. It is an amazing starter, but make sure to not leave gas in it while you store it so the gas valve does not snap. Until the unfortunate gas valve related end, it served its purpose and made me happy.
Pros:
*Very good for the price
*Good blowback
*Decent starter pistol
Cons:
*Bad accuracy farther than 30 feet
*Pretty light for a replica
*Just get it lol

"Good gun overall
pros
accurate
strong blowback
cheap
great fps
it is loud which could be a pro or a con
cons
not co2 efficient
the mag plate falls off (nothing a little glue wont fix)
overall a great beginner gun

"This was my first airsoft sidearm I’ve purchased and overall I really love it. It’s durable and heavy, the kick is also nice.

Pros:
-decent weight and recoil
-nice mag insert and eject noise.
-good range and FPS
-easy on gas consumption

Cons:
-does not make the traditional slide noise of a firearm, that chick-chick noise. Instead it makes a metallic pinging noise

Overall it’s an incredible gun for the price

"Its a pretty good side arm and for the price there is no reason you shouldn't by this. The blowback feels great it feels like it can take a beating and it hits pretty hard over all its a great side arm and I see this being my main sidearm for years to come.

"Got this as one of my first GBB sidearms and heres what i've discovered

Pros
1. Consistent
2. Doesn't use up a lot of C02
3. Accurate
4. Has a Decent Range

Cons
1. Super Loud (this thing could wake the dead)
2. No Hop Up
3. Safety can be difficult to switch on and off (this might just be me)
4. Trigger is Kind of Hard to Pull (i see it as fine but this might be a problem for others)

Overall this is a very good beginner sidearm considering the price and quality.

"So I really enjoy this gun. It is my first airsoft pistol I have owned. I only have one complaint about the gun, and that is the mag, with no other mags made for this gun besides the one made by umarex it is kinda weird, and it is a stick mag so it only holds about 15 bbs, mine only holds 14. The gun has a nice recoil and blowback, but it is a clinky type sound, also after the first 400 shots in one day the slide stopped locking back, I have no idea how to fix this or anything, but when I first got the gun It would lock back if you pulled the slide back, now It doesn't even lock back like that or when I am out of bbs in my mag. I suggest using EMG .20 match grade bbs to shoot out of this. The range is alright so overall I give it 4 out of 5.


Pros: Solid aluminum slide. Nice recoil. Okay build. Decent range.


Cons: Weird mag god knows where to find this. No slide lockback after about 300-600 shots. Plastic lower.

"This gun is not bad for the price, a lot of plastic inside, but never had any issues with it breaking. The only thing that went wrong with this was that the plunger for the blowback tore in half, which made the fps go way down, and the co2 consumption go way up. Im a mechanic by trade so i tapped the inside of the bore where the plunger rides with a 1/4-18 npsf tap and threaded in a plug, works great now, 7-8 mags per co2 cartridge. Thinking of getting a second one and doing the same right off the bat.


Pros:
Great on co2
Good mag capacity
Cheap mags
Easy slide removal for cleaning/lubricating
Price is good

Cons:
Lots of small plastic piece's in the chambering/firing mechanisms
Cheap o-rings, seals, and plunger

"When my girlfriend became interested in joining me on my airsoft outings I bought her this pistol since it was a cheap option in case she didn't care for the game, but it turned out to be a worthwhile investment and by far one of the biggest bang-for-your-buck purchases available.
First off lets talk about the elephant in the room, due to this gun being remarkably affordable there are a few drawbacks; first off it has a fixed hop up, which isn't too big of a deal, most pistol engagements aren't outside 30ft anyway, but it might be a dealbreaker to some. Secondly this pistol has an INSANELY long and heavy trigger pull due to it being double action only, so people without strong grip strength might have trouble quickly firing this pistol (case and point; my girlfriend) but, again, not a dealbreaker.
But other than those two minor gripes this pistol is very impressive for what it is! The polymer frame and metal slide are well made and don't creak or clatter, and the half-blowback design of the gun is VERY gas efficient, we could get five 15rd mags off of one umarex CO2 cartridge before the fps started to drop from the base of around 350! Thats 75 rounds without a CO2 switch! Which is very important since the cartridge is in the grip rather than a magazine- (this pistol uses thin metal stick mags) -and can be a tad time consuming to switch.
Overall this pistol is quite the bargin and a magnificent starter for a newbie or loan-out gun for friends hopping īnto a quick game, also you'll save a lot of money on gas considering it's efficient use and cheap magazines!
-PROS:
Durable/Reliable
Gas Efficient
Lightweight
Great price to performance value
-CONS:
Fixed Hop Up (Max accurate range is around 50ft, after that bb's fly off wildly)
Long heavy trigger pull
Stick mags (might be a con to some, not to me at least)
OVERALL: Solid 7/10
Also, on a side note, if you sand down the polymer frame it can be spray painted very easily! I painted my girlfriend's bright pink then covered it with a matte enamel clearcoat of rustoleum, paint is still perfect to this day.

"For it's low price, when compared to non-CO2 that sometimes run _ $100, this is a fairly decent gun. I've read that CO2 shoots harder than gas, and so far it has held true, my teammates have switch to CO2 powered weapons. It does have a clank sound with it's "blowback" feature, but I personally like it. Mag holds 15 rounds, lending a little to realism.

Pros:
- clank sound, I love the sound because it sounds intimidating.
- CO2 efficiency, have been able to run about 4-5 mags before it shoots low powered.
- CO2 feeds into back of grip instead of mag; you only load 1 CO2 cartridge at a time, instead of carrying gas on each mag.
- build quality seems sturdy, have been using this gun for a few months now and have had no issue.
- mag holds 15 rounds (more realistic).
- mags are ~ $12 and built pretty tough. rubber grip and metal bb retainer.
- mag release is on trigger guard, you just pull down, very cool. (ambidextrous)

Cons:
- trigger pull is very hard; have shot other gas guns and they don't require much to shoot the bb.
- mag only holds 15 rounds (some people prefer hi-caps).
- not a real blowback (if that matters); the slide does go back with each round fired.
- safety switch is a protruding button towards the front-right side of the gun, kind of ugly.

"To start this off, this gun is a double action, which means the trigger does all the magic. The trigger cocks the gun every shot, eliminating the need to pull back the slide to cock it. There is a problem to this though, such as rapid fire with this pistol is not possible, you aren't going to pop 3 guys around the corner with this in quick succession.

The slide is also a nice metal, but it is a bit loose. When the gun is done firing it will always lock back, which is helpful. The co2 also lasts for a long time, so it is gas efficient. The mag release is along the trigger, which allows quick changing along with the DA, so you can pop mags in less than 4 seconds.

Overall this is a good gun if you want a medium powered GBB pistol on a budget, great for beginners and intermediates.

Pros: Double Action, gas efficient, co2 stored in handle, blowback
Cons: SLOW firing, loose slide, dumb lil imitation slide release on side when there is already a actual one

Also I'm not sure if this is me but the aiming is weird, like the sights are off or something
