Though the recent Umarex new product reveals left me somewhat underwhelmed, the 6mm gas PPK/S (and version with silencer) has tickled me somewhat and has me casting eyes at my wallet. Does anyone know any background on this or if it might be licensed from an existing airsoft PPK release? It looks like the version with silencer is going to be £199 which is a fair chunk for a small airsoft pistol so hoping that might be a sign of expected quality! - www.landwarriorairsoft.com/product/umarex-walther-ppks-gas-blowback-pistol-with-silencer-kit-214184 I do loves me a PPK! |

I wonder if it is just a re-packaged Maruzen?

Quite possibly Mark, as they are the only company I know of that made a ppk replica.
If so. it will be an accurate copy, but possibly a bit fragile build.

It's bloody expensive for a PPK but I think I might have to have one

VFC tend to be at the upper end of the AS manufacturers. They work closely with brands to produce top quality items. Umarex use them to make the AS Glock retailing at circa £350 and I had one .

I must admit i do like the look of these ..... with blowback as well really nice ..... at the price they are asking i hope they are better built than the older ones
i currently own 5 of the Umarex blowback ones all of which were bought at a good price
because ALL of them except 1 had a fault of some kind or another ..... i have fixed another 2 .... 1 needs looking at
and 1 is completely shot (pardon the pun)

They look good, and VFC make good quality replicas.

Its VFC that's making the much awaited by me .... Gas blowback PPSH41
I must admit the quality looks good on these PPK/S price is high but if the quality is there its worth it ..... Cant wait
