UmarexT4E Walther PPQ .43 Caliber Training Pistol Paintball Gun Marker

I don't even understand how the managed this. Obviously something in this caliber range is going to kick harder than a gas one does, but the thing really feels authentic. I mean... shockingly so. I have nothing bad to say about it. The mag was a little rough to go in at first, but after sending it through enough times it's like butter. I do put drops of silicone on the slide and the mag after each session (about 5 mags) and it's never given me any issues. You'll get about 4-5 mags out of a Umarex CO2 before it becomes unacceptable for plinking/accuracy/mosquitoes etc. I've thrown nylon and aluminum rounds through it so far. changed the mag spring out for the "Rubber Ball" one they give you. The slide stays back on the final round; if it's not, it's almost surely because the CO2 is too low. I've never had a "jam" and I do daily sessions of about 5 mags, as I have said. I have had it fail to chamber, but only because of low CO2. It's low joules... I get that... But it's a great marker for training and for self-defense rounds.

A little heavier than the real firearm. Works great as a non-lethal defense weapon. Never used it on a human, but it did repel a very aggressive, very large dog

Mimics very well the weight, feel, and action of a real firearm with good accuracy to 50 feet. The slow projectile speed tends to drop after that. Hard ammo has reasonable penetration. Generally each co2 cylinder is good for up to 60 rounds, after that penetration reduces. Paint balls work well, however, occasionally one will prematurely rupture in the barrel and make a mess. The pepper balls are pretty worthless. They don't produce hardly any dust cloud that can be inhaled or act as an eye irratant.

great pistol, i think it is much better than the glock 17

Looks amazing and feels amazing

I used a wood fence as the backing and an old box for a target. One co2 cartridge gave me 58 shots of fun. With the wood fence, I was able to recover 54 aluminum balls and reuse them. Most fell between the fence and the box. Some rolled away but I found a few of the rollers.The tool to tighten and pierce the co2 bottle is the black piece on the back of the handle. It pops out from the bottom and then you can see the tool to tighten the CO2 nut. (White circle in picture).The distance I was able to get within 10 inches or less of the target was easily 30 feet away, I went up to 50 feet and was still decently close to the target just not as consistent. That may not be the fault of this T4e but more me.It’s a fun way to practice your paintball skills and teach younger folks good weapon handling skills.

I absolutely love my PPQ .43. Looks like the real deal, heavy like the real deal & shoots like the real deal. I lost the vision in my right eye due to a mortar, now I have to relearn to shoot left hand left eye. Hard road ahead right! This gun had me punching the black out in 20 rounds & i absolutely love it. Who said you can't train an Ole dog new tricks? My PPQ did & I'm having more fun than I've had in years. Plus I bought some GLASS .43s. They shatter on impact. Home Defense, the only place an intruder wants to go after impact is the hospital to get the glass out of his tail.

I've had my Umarex Walther PPQ .43 caliber air pistol for about a week now and absolutely love it. Definitely a heavy-weight pistol, but it's supposed to be, so it handles like the "real thing". Anyway, Ive shot rubber, rubber steel, and aluminum rounds out of this and they all work very well, although the aluminum ones will probably be what I keep loaded for defense purposes. They slammed right thru about a dozen layers of cardboard (that stops any BBs/pellets) and hit the (foamed) concrete wall in the basement. So far it also seems that I'm getting about 35-40 shots from each 12g CO2 canister, which I'd say is pretty good, considering how much larger of a projectile it's pushing. A+ to Umarex for a great product, and since I got it on sale for about $160 I'd consider it a great buy. I also ordered the quick-pierce magazine, but have yet to try it, but for reviewers saying the magazines are pricey, yes they are, but the magazine also holds the CO2 canister AND the actual pressure chamber that propells the projectile. So, compared to most magazines that JUST hold a row of projectiles, these are far more complicated, and hence more expenseive. Another nice feature is the inclusion of the built-in allen key in the backstrap of the handle, used to install the CO2. Much better than needing to carry a separate tool to reload gas. Feels like it is really good quality and I look forward to years of use from it. Oh, and my wife even tried it out and really likes it too :)
