Also known as: Walther LP 200, LP200
Overview
The Walther LP200 is a single-shot precharged-pneumatic 10-metre match air pistol chambered in .177 (4.5mm) and built to ISSF competition rules. Charged from a removable 200 bar compressed-air cylinder, it bridges Walther's earlier CO2-powered CP1/CP2 match guns and the later LP300, offering a fully adjustable two-stage match trigger, an anatomically adjustable grip, micrometer-adjustable target sights, and a recoil-compensating barrel system for the low-vibration release demanded in precision air-pistol shooting.

Background
Carl Walther's precision air pistols have long been mainstays on Olympic and ISSF 10-metre firing lines; the LP200 marked the company's move from CO2 to the cleaner, more consistent precharged-pneumatic systems that define modern match air pistols.
