The P99 EBB gel blaster from Beijing Youth
Since the first video of its prototype released last year
the topic of it has never been ignored
There is no doubt that the gas-powered system
is naturally advantageous on the pistol type blaster
Its real blowback simulation and the recoil force
are absolutely better than the electric-powered one
But for the gel blaster, the electric power isn’t given up on researching and innovating
There are still lots of boss players who continue searching the future of the electric system
Just like “Falcon Glock”
QWK’s P99 also utilizes DAS type of system
which gives a functional blowback and the real slide hold
Even I’ve seen their testing video before
but after I actually played it for more than a week
this blaster still brings me a big surprise
Play Gels~
In 007 series movie, “Tomorrow Never Dies”
Walther P99 is Pierce Brosnan’s exclusive weapon
The box of this electric toy gun from QWK
uses the rifling style poster of 007 as the background
The font of P99 and the same pistol image of 007
looks pretty nice
But this sample I got here isn’t the finalized product
so there is no gel pack and goggle in this box
Except for the blaster itself
there is a magazine with a decorating shell and a charging wire
The content of the manual
will give you an overall sense of this blaster’s functions
The size of Walther P99 is literally the same with Glock 17
but the shape of the grip is more fitting to the hand
feel comfortable when holding it
This electric-powered gel pistol faithfully simulates
most of the details and moving parts from the real steel
The whole black body
there is an orange color tip on the muzzle
The body is made of polymer
the sight, trigger, slide lock, and the slide release
those small parts are made by alloy
440g in weight with the magazine
P99AS on the slide shows
this blaster is replicating from the basic version
of Walther P99 which has single/double-action system
The logo of WALTHER on the front is very clear
Inside the ejecting window
the end of the nylon outer barrel is polygon type
you can see the texture of ejecting hook on the right side
P99 has a “decocking button” above the skid resistance
press it will cancel firing pin’s cocking status
then back to double-action mode for transportation safety
But there is just a texture on this toy gun
On the top of the front sight and the rear sight
there are small white spots help for aiming
The windage is adjustable on the rear sight by the screw underneath
From the rear of the slide
you can see the striker tip on P99 series
this red-painted spot will go back with the firing pin after cocking
Don’t even need to look at it
just touch it directly will let you know if the firing pin is cocked
This toy from QWK simulates this function with a smart design
which gives extra fun when playing it
Pull the slide, you can see the steel recoil spring guide under the barrel
The slide holding notch goes 1cm backward compared to the real steel
which makes a shorter blowback action
Pull the slide back, there is still a small part of the barrel remains inside the window
At the same time
the whole barrel will move backward a bit with the slide
and goes down a bit
which simulate the short recoil operation and the locked-breech of P99
This detail demonstrates the carefulness of the designer
Inside the orange muzzle, there is a hop-up goes with the barrel
its practical use is awaiting for testing
One-piece lower part and grip
there are inscriptions on both sides of this P99
especially the German words on the left, that is the feel!
The steel made slide release is very solid
and is easy to be reached by the thumb
but if you are a lefty, it won’t be friendly anymore
The size of the trigger guard is huge
it might be an optimization for big fingers
The trigger and the mag release are both made of alloy
the ambidextrous mag release
very good for quick reloading in either left or right hand
The small spots on the grip
will make people think about some prophylactic products easily
The rail at the front
most of the pistol flashlights will fit
You can see the mag design and know that
this blaster contains the motor inside the grip traditionally
400mah 11.1v battery is inside the bottom of the mag
powering the motor by two metal plates above
In the mid of the metal butt cover of the mag
there is a mini 4pin type connector for charging
The translucent mag uses a spring to feed
tri-stack structure, it holds around 18 rounds
If you say this is a “noodle” mag
this big bowl of noodle is easy to insert in
The simulated mag shell out of the box is interesting
put it on the mag
not only convenient for putting in the pouches but also good for photographing
The surface work of this gun is decent
the line is mostly hidden
I can’t say it is better than the real one
but you can notice its surface reflection
this surface hardening type of polishing
doesn’t have any cheap sense of the plastic piece
The solid material makes me feel safe when holding it in hands
The sample I got here went through my torture-tests for more than a week
There are tiny cracks appears on the rear of the slide and the slide holding notch
I’ve contacted with Beijing Youth and they said
the finalized product has changed to the new material recently to prevent this problem
Just like Falcon Glock
P99 could also manually cock and shoot without powering by electricity
it’s an extra perk comes with the DAS system
Pull down the slide lock above the trigger
then you can disassemble the slide
this way of disassembly simulates the structure of P99 real steel as well
Inside the slide, there is the barrel, recoil spring, the cylinder with teeth, and the piston
On the slide holding notch and the piston, those force bearing parts are reinforced by steel
The barrel is assembled by the thread
Screw it out then you can see the aluminum alloy inner barrel with the muzzle hop-up
The lower structure is more complicated
on the button, there's a two-step metal rod that simulates the firing pin
It will move with the cylinder when loading
as the indicator of the loaded chamber
The trigger parts are connecting with the metal rod
pull the trigger will release the spring and the piston
The gearset and the teeth are both steel-cut
and assembled inside the metal body frame
The whole system is controlled by a MOSFET
multiple sensors are used for testing the position of the slide, as well as the voltage of the battery
ensure the working stability of this blaster
Fully charge the battery, pull the slide to load, then you’re ready to go
The entire shooting process is very fluent
and the trigger force isn’t hard
the blowback is fast and powerful
Just like most of the EBB toy guns
the blowback is powered by the gearset, so don’t desire a real feeling of the recoil force
The same, fire first then the blowback
the slide holding is also effective stably
only the blowback action is a bit short
Using 7.4mm sandblasted gels
it barely breaks the gels even the mag is full
18-round gels are all fired successfully
The stability of the entire system is amazingly nice
You can see under the slow motion
when the slide moves back, the barrel will also move back a bit at the same time
and the muzzle will go up a bit at the end of the action
This simulation of short recoil operation is very interesting
The capacity of the battery allows shooting 8~10 mags
the heat produced by the motor isn’t very hot
The velocity goes over 70m/s out of the box
with the internal muzzle hop up, its range will definitely cover the indoor game
Except for the reinforced version that will be soon released (this one in my hand)
there is also a basic version will be released
the lower part uses the black semi-translucent material
Inside, the gearset will change to use nylon, and no internal muzzle hop-up
Except for that, no other reductions for small metal parts and internals
which is good news
Due to the durability of the gearset is reduced
so the spring is changed to a weaker one
the velocity of the basic version is around 65m/s
Comparing with Falcon Glock’s brave design of putting the motor inside the mag
this P99 from QWK has a more conservative grip motor structure
It reduces the cost of the magazine
but sacrifices the outer appearance of the magazine
in order to guarantee the structural stability
This design doesn’t have extreme requirements for the durability of the internals
The standard alloy material will perfectly work under the pressures of the motor and the gears
Balancing the cost and the stability
this should be the best solution now
Before the releasing of Falcon Glock
DAS system seems far away from us
but these two DAS gel blasters’ continuing release
makes the EBB type of pistol in our country become the lead of the world
The significance of this positive innovation, I think I don’t need to repeat it again
This P99 will probably release in the early of August
According to an insider
its price will be similar to P1
I personally think it’s a good cost performance
I am also expecting this system will apply to more and more types of pistol
and expecting this P99 will let DAS EBB pistol
widely spread in our country for real meanings
because this should be our real domestic style, tho
I don’t know if this P99 reaches your expectation?
