Comments: The PPQ M2 T4E (Training for Engagement) will bring your paintball game to the next level of realism. This .43 caliber CO2 pistol is a 1:1 scale replica of the iconic Walther pistol, with identical features like yellow dot sights, a trigger safety, and ambidextrous slide release. The grip back strap has a built in hex key to access the drop out magazine's CO2 compartment.
This replica Walther PPQ M2 looks and feels good in your hand. The accuracy of this pistol from 7 to 15 yards is pretty good via target shooting with rubber training bullets. When training with rubber bullets change out the spring (paintball spring) to the rubber ball spring that is included in the case. The mag only holds 8 bullets not 9. The magazine will take Crossman or Daisy 12g CO2 which you can purchase for cheap Cabelas. The trigger safety hinders your ability to fire faster and that causes it to jam if you are firing really fast. The whole package does not come with an instruction manual or maintenance manual for cleaning or maintaining your pistol after the warranty which is the biggest reason why I give it 4 stars. 5 stars if they supplied a maintenance manual.

It was fun to shoot the Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol for a change but really it was a lot like shooting one of my BB and Airsoft pistols, except in this case I was shooting .43 caliber rubber balls. I decided to not use paintballs inside my nice new Sea Can Indoor Airguns Shooting Range to keep things clean :)
First, I put three rounds through my Chrony Chronograph to see what the real world FPS would be, keep in mind I was using rubber balls rather than paintballs and the rubber balls are a little bit heavier than paintballs so this could bring the FPS down a bit compared to the lighter paintballs. Using a brand new CO2, the Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol average 316 FPS which was high than the claimed 290 FPS!

I'm really glad to see another Replica Paintball Pistol available in Canada, especially such a well made and realistic version. The Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol looks to be perhaps the best to date .43 caliber Paintball gun on the market and may even prove to be an option for non-lethal personal defense when using rubber balls with it. Not that I would trust my life with it but it sure looks the part and I am sure most people would not want to be on the receiving end of 9 rounds coming at you. As a training tool and Paintball gun the Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol offers superb realism for this purpose. I am looking forward to testing mine out shortly :)
