Walther PPQ M3 Gas Blowback Pistol (Umarex - 2.6498)

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.

The Perfect Polymer Pistol: Walther PPQ M3 GBB by VFC

The Umarex Walther PPQ M3 GBB (2.6498), built by the quality experts at VFC, represents the apex of modern striker-fired airsoft replicas. This pistol is celebrated by the community for taking the already excellent PPQ platform and refining it into a highly reliable, ergonomic Green Gas sidearm.

Ergonomics: Built for the User

The hallmark of the PPQ series is its exceptional grip, and the M3 model excels here. Featuring an aggressive, textured surface, the polymer frame ensures a positive, non-slip grip even during intense, fast-paced maneuvers.

The extended magazine base plate further aids control, making it comfortable for a wide range of hand sizes. Coupled with the realistic blowback action that cycles the full-metal slide, the handling experience is outstanding, making it a formidable choice in any close-quarters scenario.

Performance That Keeps You Winning

Powered by Green Gas, this licensed GBB pistol delivers the snappy cycling and audible performance that distinguishes a premium airsoft product. While maintaining field-appropriate energy output (often around 300-320 FPS), the accuracy is enhanced by the Adjustable Hop-Up system, allowing fine-tuning for optimal BB flight with various BB weights.

Furthermore, the integrated Picatinny rail under the barrel means you can immediately fit the best tactical pistol light or laser for low-light operations, adding modularity right out of the box.

Aethetic Features and Markings

Beyond its field capability, the PPQ M3 honours its real-steel counterpart with precise Walther markings and functionality. It features a semi-automatic firing mode and can be field stripped similar to the original, appealing to enthusiasts who demand detail in every aspect of their airsoft sidearm.

With a generous 22-round capacity magazine, you spend less time reloading and more time dominating the objective. This pistol is the definitive choice for anyone seeking a modern, high-performance VFC GBB.

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.
