walther w2000 ???

[jonosk]

I was wondering if some military uses walther w2000 and has any one seen them for real or shoot from one? Thanks for any info.


P.S if u haven´t got a pic it did not happen;)

I wouldn't think so, considering only 176 were ever made. And that includes all three variants.

They're more of a collector's item than anything else now, really.

ohh so no one has seen one, I think there are 15 in usa and no one in Iceland. At least I am not thinking about getting on at 75000$. But why only 176 models, was it not poppular.

I could only find 2 photos of one actually being used. The first was of it being used by Bond in "The Living Daylights" and the second is of a soldier in "Equilibrium" using it to execute dogs.

Seems odd that of all the guns in the world, they used a WA200 to represent a shotgun used for culling animals.

No military here, but this is understandable due to the intention with which the Wa2000 was designed. Though, the German SEK team of the Baden-Wurttemberg State Police is a proud owner of a dozen exemplars of this fine piece of art.

No good picture here, I have the full resolution version somewhere...

but ant this just some stuff from the movies, like fake ;) you must like the movies

I was saying that I hadn't seen it being used by the military, only in movies, and is that smiley meant to indicate that you are having some kind of seizure causing you to talk like a prick?

Very much a collectors Item. And worth at very least $75,000 US. Production costs were far too much for poor old Walther.

[Freibier]

They have one for sale, asking price is less than 10k:

Fondled it a little but too much € for me

[Jagdtiger]

this piece of art was origionally developed for police/s.w.a.t. purpouses only and it offers quality that comes with a certain prize
since it wasn´t commercially sucessfull (because of the price) it´s still a good look-at :)

If I remember correctly, the Baden-Wurttemberg SEK Team bought them in 1980. No wonder here why they don't want to replace them with newer weapons nearly three decades after having acquired it.
