This gun features a metal barrel and other metal parts internally, and takes the standard Walther PPQ back straps and sights. All of the controls and dimensions are exact replicas of those found on the real gun. There are two visually-obvious safety features used to differentiate this gun from the real thing: the lower receiver is blue and the barrel tip is a bright red.

This is not a substitute for range work, familiarity with firearms, or basic marksmanship. Force-on-Force teaches decision-making in a dynamic environment- a skill-set that should be of utmost importance to anyone who carries a firearm for self-defense. Not to over-simplify, but the actual BB that is fired is primarily there to avoid the old game we used to play as kids- &#8220;Pow! Pow! I got you first!&#8221; &#8220;No, I got you first!&#8221; The no-nonsense thwack of the pellet also serves as a demonstration of whether your tactics will result in a victory or a tie. In a gunfight, a tie is not an acceptable outcome. The purpose of the training is to keep the trainee alive, not just to place a shot on the aggressor at any cost. I mean sure, if the bad guy dies on the scene and the good guy dies in the ambulance after preventing further bloodshed, you could call it a win overall. But that&#8217;s not the victory I would choose.<\/p>\n<p>[one_half]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_50155\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun11.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"force-force-perfected-walthers-ppq-gbb\" title=\"Force on Force Perfected--Walther's PPQ GBB\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50155\" title=\"Force on Force Perfected--Walther's PPQ GBB\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-50155\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun11-400x265.jpg\" alt=\"Want a more realistic training experience?

We&#8217;ve seen plenty of recent stories about concealed carry folks drawing their guns at times that were inappropriate in retrospect. Through training on what happens after your gun is pulled, you learn to better identify situations where de-escalation is the better option. These classes can do wonders for driving home the old adage &#8220;Not my problem, not my fight&#8221; for those folks who walk around looking for a reason to draw their weapon.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Airsoft May be the Perfect Tool<\/h2>\n<p>Force-on-Force training has gone through numerous tools over the years. I personally have seen BB guns, paintball guns, and simunition rounds used for such sessions. Each of these has their advantages and disadvantages. I think the bottom line is that the tool needs to simulate combat effectively enough to not be distracting to the role-player, while still being safe. I have seen simunition guns that are particularly finicky and prone to malfunctions, which is obviously distracting, and thus detrimental to the effectiveness of the training. Other platforms have been very propellant-sensitive or overly-complex, and difficult to maintain and supply. I think that Airsoft could be the perfect alternative; the look, feel, and easily-procured ammunition and propellant drastically lower the hardware involvement when planning and executing training exercises. The ultimate requirement has always been the ability to clearly distinguish the training equipment from a real gun, and Walther has accomplished this piece handily with the blue finish. I think this gun will be a big hit.<\/p>\n<p>[one_half]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_50158\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun14.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"force-force-perfected-walthers-ppq-gbb\" title=\"Force on Force Perfected--Walther's PPQ GBB\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50158\" title=\"Force on Force Perfected--Walther's PPQ GBB\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-50158\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun14-400x265.jpg\" alt=\"The blue frame helps distinguish that this isn't a centerfire PPQ.\" width=\"400\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun14-400x265.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun14-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun14.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-50158\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The blue frame helps distinguish that this isn&#8217;t a centerfire PPQ.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/one_half][one_half_last]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_50154\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun10.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"force-force-perfected-walthers-ppq-gbb\" title=\"Force on Force Perfected--Walther's PPQ GBB\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50154\" title=\"Force on Force Perfected--Walther's PPQ GBB\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-50154\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun10-400x265.jpg\" alt=\"A black gun with an orange tip is hard to judge when it is in a holster.\" width=\"400\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun10-400x265.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun10-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun10.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-50154\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A black gun with an orange tip is hard to judge when it is in a holster. Not this one.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n<h2>Running the Gun in a Scenario<\/h2>\n<p>I had the opportunity to run this gun recently in a training environment, and was quite satisfied with its overall performance. I was able to simply hand the student the gun, which was charged and ready to go, and have them holster it before I gave them the scenario. Once the scenario was in progress, the student was free to draw and fire as they deemed appropriate. The gun functioned well, with realistic slide movement and accurate shots placed consistently from up to 15 yards. The only issue we encountered was that the occasional stiff winds would affect the trajectory of the 6mm. plastic BBs. One of the features that I particularly liked was that the gun would lock open once the last round had been fired. Many of the current Airsoft guns on the market will just continue to cycle with an empty magazine unless they run out of gas, which takes us back to the &#8220;distraction&#8221; issue that was mentioned previously. This gun hits about as hard as I would want- in fact, at close range it may even hit a little too hard. I took a few hits on exposed flesh that left 6mm. blood blisters. I guess this was due to me being the agitator&#8230; so I probably deserved it.<\/p>\n<p>[one_half]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_50152\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun8.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"force-force-perfected-walthers-ppq-gbb\" title=\"Force on Force Perfected--Walther's PPQ GBB\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50152\" title=\"Force on Force Perfected--Walther's PPQ GBB\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-50152\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun8-400x265.jpg\" alt=\"When empty, the gun locks open.\" width=\"400\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun8-400x265.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun8-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun8.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-50152\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">When empty, the gun locks open.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/one_half][one_half_last]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_50151\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun7.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"force-force-perfected-walthers-ppq-gbb\" title=\"Force on Force Perfected--Walther's PPQ GBB\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50151\" title=\"Force on Force Perfected--Walther's PPQ GBB\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-50151\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun7-400x265.jpg\" alt=\"When still loaded, the slide cycles and then returns to battery. \" width=\"400\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun7-400x265.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun7-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun7.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-50151\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">When still loaded, the slide cycles and then returns to battery.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n<h2>The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n<p>As an instructor of Force on Force training, I think that there are a handful of requirements that must be met for this training to be effective. The first and foremost requirement is safety, and this is accomplished well by the new Walther PPQ Airsoft pistol. Secondly, the equipment used must be simple and reliable. This requirement was certainly met. The training gun must also be realistic, so as not to distract from the scenario, and this pistol exceeded all expectations in that regard. This Walther is definitely the best airsoft pistol I have ever used, by far. I don\u2019t know if I would want to use this to play Navy Seal (those BBs hurt, and I don&#8217;t have the legitimate gear for that) but to train someone on how to make good decisions with a firearm, there is no other imitation pistol I would want at hand.<\/p>\n<p>Retail should be $99.95.<\/p>\n<p>[full_width]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_50150\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun6.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"force-force-perfected-walthers-ppq-gbb\" title=\"Force on Force Perfected--Walther's PPQ GBB\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50150\" title=\"Force on Force Perfected--Walther's PPQ GBB\" class=\"size-full wp-image-50150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun6.jpg\" alt=\"The rear of the mag has a button to allow you to safely de-gas the mag when training is complete.\" width=\"900\" height=\"596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun6.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun6-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Walther-PPQ-Blue-Gun6-400x265.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-50150\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The rear of the mag has a button to allow you to safely de-gas the mag when training is complete.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/full_width]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for a way to take your handgun skills to the next level?
