WE P38S Gas Blowback Pistol with Silencer (Full Metal - Black)

Want to buy a realistic-looking black airsoft gun (RIF) from onlyBBguns? Because these guns look so real, UK law (the VCRA Act) requires you to have a valid reason, called a "defence," to own one. Essentially, you need to prove you're buying it for airsoft skirmishing (the sport itself), not for any other purpose.

Here's how you can demonstrate your defence to onlyBBguns and buy a black airsoft gun:

  1. Show proof of skirmishing: Gather evidence like photos and videos from airsoft games you've participated in. These should clearly show you actively involved in skirmishing, demonstrating your intent to use the gun for the sport.
  2. Become a registered skirmisher: The easiest way to prove your defence is by joining a recognized airsoft association and getting a membership card. The most common one in the UK is UKARA. This registration confirms you're a legitimate airsoft player.

Don't have either of those? No problem! You can still buy the airsoft gun. onlyBBguns can paint it in a two-tone colour scheme. This means part of the gun will be sprayed a bright, non-realistic colour. This makes the gun a "non-realistic imitation firearm" and avoids the restrictions of the VCRA Act. Anyone over 18 can legally buy a two-tone airsoft gun.

Covert Classics: The WE P38 Gas Blowback Pistol with Silencer

The Walther P38 holds an undeniable place in military history, serving as the standard sidearm for the German Wehrmacht throughout World War II. Whilst not as well known as the classic German Luger, the P38 was used extensively during World War 2 and would make the perfect addition to any World War 2 themed loadout for Airsoft, Re-Enactment or Living History events.

The WE P38 Gas Blowback Pistol, is the definitive airsoft rendition, blending high-fidelity mechanical realism with the added value of an included tactical mock suppressor, creating a comprehensive package for historical reenactors and enthusiasts alike. This pistol captures the essence of the classic design while offering reliable modern GBB performance.

Uncompromising Full Metal Construction and Tactical Value

The basis of the pistol’s authenticity is its material construction. It features a heavy-duty Full Metal Slide and Frame, providing the substantial weight and cold-touch feel necessary for a true-to-life replica, weighing in at approximately 800grams before the suppressor is attached. This robust metal build ensures the durability required for field use and sustained operation.

The inclusion of the mock silencer is a significant value proposition, instantly transforming the pistol into a suppressed sidearm perfect for specialized German tactical loadouts or cinematic espionage looks. The barrel assembly is threaded specifically to accept this suppressor, guaranteeing a secure, wobble-free fit that maintains the pistol’s clean lines.

High-Fidelity Operational Realism

The mechanical operation of the WE P38 Gas Blowback Pistol is meticulously recreated.

It functions with authentic Double Action / Single Action (DA/SA) capability: the shooter can choose the heavy, safe pull of Double Action for the first shot or manually cock the exposed hammer for a light, precise Single Action pull for follow-up shots.

Furthermore, the functional slide-mounted safety lever acts as a decocker, safely dropping the hammer onto the intercept notch without firing, exactly as the real firearm operates.

The GBB system even replicates the P38’s unique tilting barrel locking mechanism during the cycling sequence, adding another layer of intricate realism unmatched by lesser replicas. This attention to detail makes the WE P38 Gas Blowback Pistol highly desirable for realistic tactical training.

GBB Performance for Milsim and Skirmishing

Running on standard Green Gas, the pistol delivers a crisp, satisfying blowback and reliable muzzle velocity, typically ranging between300-330 FPS. This FPS range makes the pistol compliant for use as a secondary weapon in virtually all airsoft fields and CQB environments.

The included mock silencer contributes to a quieter shot profile, enhancing the covert aesthetic. The WE P38 Gas Blowback Pistol feeds from a single-stack, drop-free metal magazine holding approximately 15 rounds.

For any player specializing in WWII German Milsim or seeking a unique, classic sidearm, this complete, suppressed package offers a blend of performance and historical authenticity that few modern pistols can rival.

The reliability of the WE GBB system ensures the pistol is not merely a collector's piece but a fully skirmishable, dependable secondary weapon. The ease of maintenance, facilitated by realistic field stripping, contributes to the longevity of the robust metal construction.

Two tone
We can two tone any weapon we sell at Bespoke Airsoft. The purpose for two toning is if you do not hold a valid defense under the Violent Crimes Reduction Act (VCRA, 2006) which is to prevent the misuse of Replica Weapons, which applies in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The gun will be sprayed 51% in a bright/primary color (we do only blue, green and red currently). The process of two toning currently runs at 2 working days depending on Drying Time, which is effected by Ambient Temperature and Weather. and currently no express delivery is available for this even if you select it at checkout.

FAQs

1.     What is a BB gun used for?  BB guns are mostly used for practice shooting and training. The stronger ones (i.e. Air Rifles) can also control pests or hunt small animals.

2.     Do you need a Licence in the UK for a BB gun? No, you don't need a licence for a BB gun in the UK, but there are rules. The BB Gun needs to be in two colours; one has to be a primary. All our guns are on the website as per default.

3.     Is a BB gun a good weapon?   BB guns, despite sometimes being seen as toys, can be dangerous. They fire pellets at high speeds and can cause serious harm, or even be deadly in some situations.

4.     Can you shoot BB guns in public in the UK without a Firearm license? BB guns in the UK navigate a legal grey area. While certain models, notably low-power 'soft air' types, typically evade classification as section 1 firearms, more potent versions may require a valid firearms certificate to avoid legal repercussions.

5.     Can you shoot a BB gun in your garden? You can use a BB gun in your garden under UK law, but you have to ensure the pellets don't go into your neighbour's yard, plot or land. If they do and you don't have permission, it's against the law.

6.     Which UK law am I breaking if the pellets go into my neighbour's law without permission?  If your BB gun pellets go into your neighbour's yard without permission, you're breaking UK laws. Specifically, the 1968 Firearms Act and possibly the 2003 Anti-Social Behaviour Act, because you may be causing your neighbours trouble or worry.
