The Walther P38 was one of the four main pistols used by Nazi Germany during World War 2, alongside the Walther PP/PPK, Mauser C96/M712 Broomhandle, and Luger P08. It served as the standard issue pistol for the Wehrmacht during that era. The demand for P38 pistols was so high that they were not only manufactured by Walther but also by Mauser, Erste Nordbohmische Metallwarenfabrik, and Spreewerk factories. Despite not being considered modern by today's standards, the Walther P38 earned a reputation for its reliability. It was adopted by the Austrian military upon its introduction and remained in service until 1980 when the Glock 17 pistol, known as the P80 in Austria, was introduced. The design of the Walther P38 also influenced the famous Beretta 92 series, which was adopted by the United States Military as the M9 pistol. The Maruzen P38 AC40.s gas airsoft pistol is a fully licensed replica of the wartime Walther-produced P38. It faithfully recreates the features of the original pistol. During the war, the P38 pistols did not bear "Walther" markings to conceal their origins from allied forces. Instead, they had manufacturer's codes engraved on them. The Maruzen replica follows this detail accurately, with the "ac" code denoting it as a Walther-made pistol. It also replicates the proof marks, including the eagle symbol sitting on the number "359," indicating proof marking by Walther. The Maruzen P38 replica is primarily made of plastic to comply with Japanese law, but it incorporates metal reinforcements and weights under the faux Bakelite grips, providing a sturdy feel that can easily be mistaken for an all-metal construction. Like the real pistol, it features a smooth single-action and double-action trigger, allowing for easy follow-up shots. The safety on this airsoft pistol functions as a decocker, decocking the pistol when engaged while cocked. With a capacity of 12+1 rounds, the Maruzen P38 replica is recommended to be used with HFC134A or duster gas. Stronger
