Umarex H&K USP P8 CO2 Pistol Replica – Black
This is an Umarex replica of the Heckler & Koch USP in its P8 form, a CO2-powered airsoft pistol in black. The USP is one of H&K’s best-known service pistols, and the P8 is the version adopted by the German armed forces. Umarex holds licences from many famous firearms makers, so its replicas carry authentic names and markings.
According to our original listing, the frame, slide and most of the small parts are made from high quality plastic, keeping the pistol light, with metal used for other parts. It is a straightforward, easy-to-use pistol that suits target shooting, plinking and use as a back-up sidearm.
Design
Listings for the Umarex H&K USP CO2 pistol made by WinGun describe it as fully licensed with authentic H&K markings, and as a non-blowback design with a fixed slide. A fixed slide means none of the CO2 is used to cycle the action, so the pistol is quiet, efficient on gas and has fewer moving parts to wear. Those listings also give an adjustable hop-up and a 16-round magazine. We cannot confirm that this P8 version is identical, so please ask us if any of these details are important to you.
The USP shape has a comfortable, chunky grip and a well-balanced feel, and the black finish keeps it looking like the service pistol it is based on.
CO2 power
CO2 is stored in small sealed cartridges and runs at a higher pressure than green gas. It is also much less affected by cold weather, so CO2 pistols keep shooting consistently in winter. As the gas cools with rapid shooting, power can drop a little, so a steady pace gives the best consistency.
Getting started
Read the manual before first use so you know how to fit and remove the CO2 safely, how the safety works and how to load the magazine. Practise drawing and aiming at home with the pistol unloaded and no CO2 fitted, then test it at a safe backstop and set the hop-up to suit your BB weight.

Compatibility
Uses 6mm airsoft BBs and CO2. Listings for the WinGun-made Umarex USP give a 16-round magazine, but please confirm the correct magazine with us before buying spares, as magazines are model-specific. Holsters made for the USP should suit its shape, but check the fit before relying on one.
Care and maintenance
Put a drop of silicone oil on the tip of each new CO2 cartridge before fitting it, to help the seals last. Before storing the pistol, fire off or release any remaining CO2 as the manual describes, and do not leave an empty cartridge in place for long periods.
Wipe the pistol over after use, clean the inner barrel now and then with a cleaning rod, keep oil away from the hop-up and use good quality seamless BBs. Store it away from heat and direct sunlight.
Who is it for?
For shooters who want a light, licensed H&K USP replica that is easy to use, for plinking and target practice at home, and for players looking for a simple, reliable CO2 back-up pistol.
Please note: CO2 and BBs are not included. Always wear suitable eye protection when using any airsoft replica, and check your site’s rules on CO2 pistols before play.
