Umarex T4E Walther PDP Compact Optics Ready CO2 .43 — mag-fed training & utility marker
What it is?
The Umarex T4E Walther PDP Compact Optics Ready is a CO2-powered .43 caliber marker designed for training, mag-fed paintball, and utility use where permitted by law.
It’s modeled after the Walther PDP pistol platform and built to feel realistic in handling, magazine operation, and optics mounting — making it popular for force-on-force training, target practice, and controlled outdoor use.

This does not refer to chemical sprays or poisons and should only be considered:

Always follow local and state regulations regarding airguns, paintball markers, and animal control.
Ammunition & accessories:
Compatible with .43 caliber projectiles, including:

Quick-Pierce magazines are available separately for faster reloads.
