Description:
The Luger P08 NBB is a CO2-powered air pistol that faithfully recreates the iconic German Luger pistol, which entered service in the early 1900s and saw extensive use during both World Wars.
This full-metal construction model is chambered in 4.5mm steel BBs, with a non-blowback (NBB) action that prioritizes efficiency and simplicity. It holds up to 13 rounds in its magazine, operates via a 12g CO2 cartridge for consistent power, and features a manual safety for added control.
The overall design captures the classic toggle-lock mechanism and ergonomic grip of the original, making it a compact and historically inspired piece at around 230mm in length and weighing about 760g. It's a standout budget pistol because it delivers impressive value at an affordable price point, without skimping on quality materials or performance.
The full-metal body gives it a hefty, authentic weight and texture that closely mimics the real firearm, providing a realistic feel that's perfect for collectors, plinkers, or those interested in historical replicas. Despite its straightforward NBB system—which means no slide recoil for a quieter, more gas-efficient operation—it's surprisingly fun and accurate to shoot, achieving velocities around 400 fps for punchy, precise shots at targets up to 20-30 yards.
The lack of blowback also enhances reliability and extends CO2 usage, allowing for extended sessions of enjoyable backyard target practice or casual competitions without frequent reloads or malfunctions.
