Questions & Answers
Only CO2 can be stored in this magazine. It makes use of a 12 gram non-woven fabric. CO2 cartridge with a threaded connection. Pellets are held in the gun's body by a rotary magazine.
Umarex, based in Germany, is in charge of Asian distribution. You'd have to look for a retail outlet in Indonesia.
For a CO2 pellet pistol, 50 feet is a considerable distance. At that distance, this would be adequate for target practice and plinking.
I've only used pellets so far, and there's only one magazine that fits. I'm guessing you're using the CP99's included 8-round magazine.
Selected User Reviews For Umarex Walther CP99 .177 Caliber Pellet Gun Air Pistol
This small weapon has a lot of punch to it. I decided it was broken in enough to shoot at some targets after getting used to the kick and firing several hundred pellets downrange. Set them up at a distance of ten feet, and all eight were in the ten zone. It's incredible. I'm a decent shooter, but this little dynamo buried those pellets about an inch into the cardboard backboard, with no ricochet. Set a new target and stepped back to a distance of 20 feet. Another eight in the ten zone, but this time with a wider spread. Although there isn't much of a drop, this is a new CO2 for the target run. Despite this, the Umarex sank about 3/4 inch into the backboard. br>This Umarex is pricey, but well worth it. The 12oz CO2 can be held with ease thanks to the drop out clip. I'm going to buy a few more so I can have spares on hand in the field. The two eight-round magazines that came with it worked perfectly for me, and I'm going to buy a LOT more of them to keep preloaded in a pouch with the extra magazines. br>I would highly recommend this product; the extra money spent on the single and double action models was well worth it. The single-action shots were extremely accurate in terms of hitting the target.
My Walther is aimed squarely at your ear. Amended: I was interested in giving c02 pellet pistols another shot. This Walther features the usual high level of German craftsmanship. The cheesy white painted name logo on the barrel front would have been better replaced with a plain engraved one. The 8-shot metal wheel is fine to install and operate, but make sure the drop-down mag brass screw is tightened to pierce and secure the c02 cartridge. I guess it's attention to detail, but the safety slide is on the right side of the barrel for right-handed users. The slide has an additional release button that is inconvenient. br>According to other reviews, this pellet gun has problems with the reported Walter AS trigger (Anti Stress-Safe). Shooting practice is a plus). It has a long pull and the mechanism can catch, requiring additional finger pull to fire. Understand that the real Walther has this AS trigger as well, which is why some owners prefer the Glock 19 for its smoother trigger. Pull the rear slide back until it locks, which shortens the trigger pull on this pellet pistol and improves shot accuracy. If you don't do this, the trigger is set for double shots (successful but not semi-automatic). The long pull (automated) as well as the automatic. br>I appreciate the fact that this pellet gun is non-toxic. Yes, it has better shot placement accuracy due to the lack of blowback (less CO2). The rear sight can be adjusted, but don't strip the mounting screws under the gun's rear slide. These can only be accessed by turning the gun upside down. Pull back the back slide with one hand while using the screwdriver with the other. Phillips screws are a soft metal with a tight installation, making them very awkward. I decided to leave it alone and compensate for the lack of targets by shooting slightly to the right. The Umarex Walther CP pellet/bb compact model, based on other Amazon reviews, appears to be a good alternative, but it is not available for shipping to my state.
I really like this air gun because it shoots very accurately and is single action. It's also co2 friendly. It's a little more expensive than the average, but it's made with high-quality German metals and precision craftsmanship.
I purchased two more magazines after receiving one with my CP99. I use one for practice and keep two more on hand with fully charged CO2 cartridges. When I'm done practicing, I remove the partially used magazine and replace it with a new one containing a full CO2 cartridge, ensuring that my gun is always ready to fire. When I go back to practice, I replace the full magazine and CO2 cartridge with the magazine and CO2 cartridge I used the last time. When that one runs out, I simply replace it with a full magazine and CO2 cartridge, and then replace the empty CO2 cartridge in the previous magazine; this way, my gun is always fully charged and ready.
After a month of use, I like it overall, but there are a few drawbacks: br>Accuracy is better than I had hoped for. At a distance of 20 feet, only the sight is shifted an inch to the right, and it cannot be adjusted (update: It is possible to adjust the rear sight). The laser can help with part of the problem (though fine tuning is difficult). br>CO2 emissions are higher than anticipated - After about 50 pellets of autonomy, there is a noticeable loss of pressure. Regardless, I recommend this gun - the trigger is fairly difficult to pull without cocking the gun, and the gas cartridge mechanism is not the most precise. br>In any case, I recommend this gun - It's a nice pistol to shoot with, and it's a lot of fun to do so.
This serves two purposes for me: first, plinking or target shooting enjoyment. Second, it has the same feel and handling as the real thing. br>br>This pistol performs admirably.
