H&K Heckler&Koch VP9 6 mm is a spring-powered replica with a metal slide, designed for those starting their adventure with airsoft.
The replica faithfully reproduces the German striker-fired Heckler&Koch VP9 semi-automatic pistol, originally designed as a service weapon for law enforcement.
Just like the original, the Heckler&Koch VP9 6 mm features a durable polymer frame along with a heavy metal slide and barrel. The replica belongs to the HME (Heavy Metal Energy) series, meaning that the pistol has an increased weight of 612 g.
Attention to authenticity is highlighted by the left-side magazine release lever, front slide serrations, and trigger safety. At the front of the frame there is a Picatinny rail for mounting additional accessories, such as a laser pointer or tactical flashlight.
The replica features a spring-powered system, which requires manual cocking before each shot.
This is done by firmly pulling the slide back, assisted by aggressive serrations. The main advantages of the spring-powered system include: no additional costs for consumables, ease and reliability of operation, and low sensitivity to weather conditions.
Unlike green gas replicas, the spring-powered model operates reliably even in winter. The fired BBs reach a velocity of approx. 230 fps and an effective range of about 15 m.
The pistol features a fixed hop-up system, which performs best with 0.12 g BBs, ensuring a flat trajectory and consistent accuracy.
Airsoft realism enthusiasts will certainly appreciate that the pistol is powered by a low-cap magazine with a capacity of 11 BBs.
The replica features a manual safety that locks the trigger mechanism and protects against accidental discharge.
