The main feature of this superb air rifle is Walther's electronic trigger system, aptly dubbed the E-Trigger, powered by an USB-rechargeable internal battery.
A full 90-minutes recharging cycle provides enough power for 5.000 shots, and 100 shots can be fired after plugging it in for one single minute of loading.
With its realistic dry firing mode, the E-Trigger offers enhanced training capabilities while remaining totally safe at all times – no accidental discharge is possible.
The company declares that the electronic trigger will not wear out and retain settings for at least 500.000 shots; it can be set on a single-stage or a double-stage mode, and its weight can be adjusted from a minimum of 15 grams to a maximum of 120 grams.
The E-Trigger shuts off automatically when not in use, in order to save power, and comes with LED indicators to allow the shooter to check the state of the battery at any time.
Each Walther LG400-E air rifle is issued from factory in a polymer carry case and comes with sights, a DIN adapter for the gas tank, a barrel weight, fore-end weights, butt-plate weights, adjustment keys, and of course an instruction manual. Any mini-USB charger can be used.
