Umarex Walther P99 DAO EBB

Brief History

The project for the P99 pistol began in 1994, and the first presentation took place in 1997, the year it also entered serial production. This model represented a significant leap for the Walther company, following a change in management. The new model was initially used by the German police in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate. From there, the pistol was ordered by many other law enforcement agencies worldwide due to its revolutionary design, exceptional maneuverability, and reliability.

Exterior of the Replica

This replica offered by Umarex mimics the P99 model. It is entirely made of plastic and successfully imitates the recoil system of the pistol using electric power. That is why it is called EBB Electric Blow Back. With each shot, the slide moves back in a somewhat amusing manner.
As for buttons, there is the trigger and the safety located below the trigger. There are no other buttons. The magazine, also made of plastic and curved in shape, is secured in place by friction. At the back of the magazine, there is a compartment for batteries, which is easy to operate.

Interior of the Replica

The mechanism of the replica is somewhat simple and made of plastic. We recommend not to block the slide during firing as it may get damaged. The hop-up system is fixed, but the level is high enough to lift 0.12g BBs. It has a very low speed of up to 40 m/s, so we recommend using the lightest BBs possible.

Power Supply

The replica operates with 4 AAA batteries, but we strongly recommend using high-quality alkaline batteries or high-capacity rechargeable batteries. The replica will not function with low-quality batteries. Even though it is a cheap and unpretentious toy, we advise against using low-quality BBs as it may get damaged.
