Yes the PPK has the real blowback, it is cool for a while but if you’re into accuracy I’d get boring since the accuracy is awful and the blowback is nothing like of a decent power handgun.

Sunny the PPK is a Single action only, meaning if will only fire if the hammer is coked (after blowback the hammer stays coked). I used to get 135 shots per CO2...so yeah the power sucked.

Hi Sniper,

I did try the PPK at 10 metres but target results were very poor. The short sight radius, in conjunction with BB projectiles and a smooth bore, made decent groups impossible... for me. I can't remember the average 10m group size but it was definitely larger than the 25 foot average group size.

Perhaps it would be better if Walther install a rifle barrel in PPK like the V3 has good velocity, nice accuracy even at 15 yards, BAD trigger, kind of dumb fake blow back ..... oh well still fun to shoot with .... I guess.

Hi ETA,

Okay... tell us more. :D
Any accuracy improvement?
Velocity?
Any major work needed to install the 1008 barrel in the PPK?

Thanks,
Todd

Todd,

Here is the low down on the PPK project back in March.

It is not too tough to mod. Just need to keep track of the small parts. :P
