Walther Arms’ airsoft pistol kits made a big splash during the Corona virus quarantine across this land, as people ordered the kits – which include the gas blowback airsoft pistol, extra magazine, 2700 6mm BBs and 2 bottles of Walther fuel – in order to practice shooting safely at home. Walther also threw in a challenge, the #WaltherCQT, that set up a trial in order to beat Cody Osborn (Walther’s marketing manager extraordinaire) and his 2-second par-time for 5 shots at 7 feet.
Cody sent me a Walther PPQ airsoft pistol kit ($169.99), because he knows I have been carrying and shooting my Walther PPQ M2 since 2013. I’ve shot a lot of rounds through that gun, as I routinely practice with it. The nice thing, though, is that I can now put this airsoft pistol into any of my holsters for the PPQ M2 and practice drawing and shooting.
First, I took the airsoft pistol down to our family dump. We inherited the dump with the old ranch and haven’t added to it. It has a lot of cool old things in there, though, including a refrigerator from the 1960s, a girl’s bicycle with a banana seat, at least 1,000 coffee cans and a satellite dish from the ’80s – you know, the type that looks like a big old wok.
The hubby and I practiced and timed each other, shooting at the Corona virus targets that I downloaded for the challenge. I could only get my time down to 2.2 seconds and 4 shots in the Corona virus target. Then, we set up a few other targets and I’d call out where he should aim: “Folgers! Maxwell House! Bottle!” You get the picture, I’m sure.
Then, we decided to shoot the challenge here at the house, and even though we could shoot it indoors safely, we went out to the driveway area. Cody recommended using a pizza box and maybe put a towel or paper inside it to add a little weight … I found 2 boxes that make quite a statement regarding the quarantine we’ve been living under for several weeks. I found a box for 48 rolls of Angel Soft toilet paper with lavender scented cardboard interiors – not my brand of choice, but it’s all that Amazon Prime offered at the time – and a box for a case of wine from Cameron Hughes. Don’t judge.
I live out in the sticks of the Ozarks, so I especially appreciate UPS, FedEx and the USPS. And that’s another thing, this kit comes through FedEx! No having to deal with an FFL or filling out the paperwork.
We shot the challenge in the driveway and tied at 1.83 seconds with all 5 shots landing squarely in the virus’s center, which I believe entitles us to some type of notoriety from Walther Arms.
We’re wondering if you’d like to practice with a new airsoft pistol kit from Walther Arms, and on behalf of this excellent firearms company, we are offering a a Walther PPS M2 blowback airsoft pistol kit. It includes a Walther PPS Blowback Airsoft Pistol, 1 extra magazine, 2700 6mm BB’s, and 12 cartridges of Umarex CO2, enough for 2700 shots ($109.99).

I have been want to work on my dry firing and this would be a great way to practice in the back yard. Hopefully I win! Thanks
Would love to enjoy the nostalgia of plinking with this and having a safer and more affordable way to practice!
Pretty potent for an airsoft pistol to consistently punch through the cardboard box.
This would be a more cost effective way to practice target shooting! Lol thanks for the opportunity!
Strange. Two of us share this computer with separate accounts. Facebook, Twitter, etc all have no trouble recognizing the separate accounts; and other online contests don’t have a problem. But this contest seems to get us confused with each other even through the accounts are completely separate windows logins. It can’t be cookies because Windows keeps the cookies separate.
I would love to have this for cheap backyard training! So awesome.
Great tool for my wife and myself to practice indoors. 🙂
I would love this gun to be in my air gun collection for target shooting on my back yard shooting gallery.
The Walther PPS M2 Airsoft Kit looks interesting. I’ve never owned or fired one.
It would be great to add a Walther PPS M2 to my Airsoft collection
I guess this is the blog post comment for the giveaway. This is the first giveaway (of several hundred) that I’ve seen that asks for a blog post comment but doesn’t provide a link to where you are supposed to post it. I only found this at the bottom of the page.
I would love to win this Walther airsoft pistol for my mom as a mother’s day gift. Great addition to the gift basket I’m putting together for her. 🙂
yes i would like the wlther airsoft pistol please and thankk you
My first airsoft pistol was a Walther PPQ GBB purchased after turning 60. I have a gas (pun intended) shooting in the garage all winter (left over pink insulation traps plastic balls). Then moved to out side and even use archery deer as a fun long range target. The vertical adjustment range was to small to get heavy pellets above sight and the sear broke. It still operates just occasionally goes to full auto (really fun but loss of accuracy). The kit is very tempting.
Don’t know when I might go to the range again … this would be a great tool for practicing in areas close to home.
I would love to win this airsoft Walther pistol for training and practice of gun fundamentals. Not only that but it’s a Walther!
This Walther PPS M2 Airsoft Kit would be the perfect way to keep my shooting skills sharp! With times as they are and not being able to visit my favorite range to practice it is a very real possibility that my skills will degrade. With the PPS M2 Airsoft pistol I can continue to practice.
I love all sorts of guns It would be cool to try a quieter, more economical, more convenient option for target practice
Got introduced to Walther by Louder With Crowder. I have a Q5 Match and I carry my CCPM2. I love them both!!!
I think that Twitter is a waste of time. Therefore I will suffer without twitting anything having to do with being a twit.
Wife and I love our Walther’s. Over 2 years of enjoyment and security. The challenge sounds FUN.
We live to far inside city limits to do ny form of recreational shooting, so this would be a great option for our kids and I to play with in the backyard.
I love the PPS I already have. Would enjoy being able to shoot an Airsoft for additional practice.
I would love to win this for my girlfriend. Great birthday present!
I have the PPS M2 in 9mm. Practicing with the airsoft version would have a lot of benefits. I love my PPS, it is my EDC.
I plink; therefore, I am.
