It served as the standard issue pistol for \r\nthe Wehrmacht during that era. The demand for P38 pistols was so high \r\nthat they were not only manufactured by Walther but also by Mauser, \r\nErste Nordbohmische Metallwarenfabrik, and Spreewerk factories.\u003cbr\u003eDespite not being considered modern by today's standards, the Walther\r\n P38 earned a reputation for its reliability. It was adopted by the \r\nAustrian military upon its introduction and remained in service until \r\n1980 when the Glock 17 pistol, known as the P80 in Austria, was \r\nintroduced. The design of the Walther P38 also influenced the famous \r\nBeretta 92 series, which was adopted by the United States Military as \r\nthe M9 pistol.\u003cbr\u003eThe Maruzen P38 AC40.s gas airsoft pistol is a fully licensed replica\r\n of the wartime Walther-produced P38. It faithfully recreates the \r\nfeatures of the original pistol. During the war, the P38 pistols did not\r\n bear \"Walther\" markings to conceal their origins from allied forces. \r\nInstead, they had manufacturer's codes engraved on them. The Maruzen \r\nreplica follows this detail accurately, with the \"ac\" code denoting it \r\nas a Walther-made pistol. It also replicates the proof marks, including \r\nthe eagle symbol sitting on the number \"359,\" indicating proof marking \r\nby Walther.\u003cbr\u003eThe Maruzen P38 replica is primarily made of plastic to comply with \r\nJapanese law, but it incorporates metal reinforcements and weights under\r\n the faux Bakelite grips, providing a sturdy feel that can easily be \r\nmistaken for an all-metal construction. Like the real pistol, it \r\nfeatures a smooth single-action and double-action trigger, allowing for \r\neasy follow-up shots. The safety on this airsoft pistol functions as a \r\ndecocker, decocking the pistol when engaged while cocked.\u003cbr\u003eWith a capacity of 12+1 rounds, the Maruzen P38 replica is \r\nrecommended to be used with HFC134A or duster gas. Stronger gases like \r\ngreen gas may cause increased wear and tear. The replica also includes \r\nan adjustable hop-up, which can be adjusted from the breach using a \r\nsmall Allen key.\u003cbr\u003eDuring\r\n World War 2, the Walther P38 was one of the four main pistols used by \r\nNazi Germany, along with the Walther PP\/PPK, Mauser C96\/M712 \r\nBroomhandle, and Luger P08. It served as the standard issue pistol for \r\nthe Wehrmacht. The demand for P38 pistols was so high that they were \r\nproduced not only by Walther but also by Mauser, Erste Nordbohmische \r\nMetallwarenfabrik, and Spreewerk factories.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough the Walther P38 is considered outdated by today's standards,\r\n it gained a reputation for its reliability. The Austrian military \r\nadopted the P38 upon its introduction and continued using it until 1980 \r\nwhen the Glock 17 pistol, known as the P80 in Austria, was introduced. \r\nAdditionally, the Walther P38 served as an inspiration for the famous \r\nBeretta 92 series, which the United States Military adopted as the M9 \r\npistol.\u003cbr\u003eThe Maruzen P38 AC40.s gas airsoft pistol is a fully licensed replica\r\n of the wartime Walther-produced P38, authorized by Carl Walther. Unlike\r\n pre-war and post-war P38s, this replica does not bear \"Walther\" \r\nmarkings. During the war, manufacturers concealed the origin of these \r\npistols from allied forces by using engraved manufacturer's codes \r\ninstead. This particular P38 replica is modeled after the \r\nWalther-produced ones, featuring the \"ac\" code indicating it as a \r\nWalther-made pistol, along with \"40\" and proof marks, including the \r\neagle symbol sitting on the number \"359,\" denoting proof marking by \r\nWalther.\u003cbr\u003eThe Maruzen P38 replica is primarily constructed from plastic to \r\ncomply with Japanese law, but it incorporates metal reinforcements and \r\nmetal weights beneath the faux Bakelite grips, providing a sturdy feel \r\nthat can easily be mistaken for an all-metal construction. Similar to \r\nthe real P38, this gas airsoft pistol features a smooth single-action \r\nand double-action trigger, facilitating easy follow-up shots. The safety\r\n on this replica serves as a decocker, allowing the pistol to be \r\ndecocked when the gun is cocked and the safety is engaged.\u003cbr\u003eWith a capacity of 12+1 rounds, the Maruzen P38 replica is \r\nrecommended to be used with HFC134A or duster gas, as using stronger \r\ngases like green gas may accelerate wear and tear on the gun. The \r\nreplica also includes an adjustable hop-up, which can be adjusted from \r\nthe breach using a small Allen key.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaruzen P38 AC40.s Pistol GBB Airsoft (Black Metal Finish)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:1 Ratio Airsoft Replica of P38 Pistol Airsoft Guns (World War 2 Pistol)\u003cbr\u003eSemi Automatic Shooting Mode\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeavy Weight Polymer Frame \u0026amp; Barrel\u003cbr\u003eEngraved \"P38\" Marking\u003cbr\u003eMetal Hammer, Trigger, Safety, Slide Stop, Magazine Release, Front \u0026amp; Rear Sight\u003cbr\u003e12 Rounds Loading Capacity Magazine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdjustable Hop-Up System\u003cbr\u003eExcellent finishing by Maruzen, Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Maruzen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44399624126692,"sku":"MRZ-4992487384239","price":169.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/1325\/2580\/files\/MRZ-4992487384239-2L.jpg?v=1702545210","url":"https:\/\/www.ehobbyasia.com\/ko\/products\/maruzen-p38-ac40-s-pistol-gbb-airsoft-stainless-finish","provider":"eHobbyAsia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
