Overview
The Walther LP400 is a pre-charged pneumatic single-shot 10-metre match air pistol chambered for .177 (4.5mm) pellets. Designed for ISSF Olympic air-pistol competition, it feeds one pellet at a time and is limited to a maximum muzzle energy of 7.5 joules. The pistol uses a refillable aluminium air cylinder with an integrated pressure gauge that delivers roughly 180 shots per charge, a steel barrel inside a carbon barrel jacket, a fully adjustable two-stage match trigger with a dry-firing function, and an adjustable MEMORY 3D walnut orthopaedic grip.
