Yimmy:
i know on the V1 WA2000 with the cylinder for a flash supressor has a handle on the right side... when i looked at the closeup pics of the reciever... on this site... i didnt see it
heres the pic

re

I think it is further to the right of the pic, nearer the muzzle.

It is depicted in a James Bond film, the one where the bond girl plays the cello.

That would be The Living Daylights....

And the scene would be when Kara Milovy, played by Maryam D'Abo is about to shoot some VIP and Bond shoots he rifle with his fancy WA2000.... But I don't think you get a very good look at the rifle... :|

re

I am fairly sure you see Bond fondle with a magazine and cock the rifle before he shoots.

 

[Max338]

the WA2000 your referring to is the version1 with the cylindrical flash supressor... anyway thank you guys

Mel:
when you say accuracy of the WA2000 is exceptional.... do u have a ballpark figure as to groups?

 

[mele]

sub .5 MOA was the norm

[Max338]

JEEZ thats accurate even for a bolt gun! i guess it can be generalized that walther makes accurate guns...

 

[Jeff_850]

if your gonan pay like $12500 for a new gun (when they came out around 20 years ago) then they better be that accurate

re

Do you think Walther made so few in order to achieve a high unit price, and a mythical sense of quality, or do you think they simply had little interest from the market?

 

[Max338]

had it been a little bit cheaper... and not had so many reliability problems... quite a few would have been sold. the bad reputation for reliability in the first modle tarnished the second one to the point that walther stopped making them.. they werent selling.

 

[mele]

Max338 is correct, there was little demand for the rifles, and the reputation from the 1st series rifles really hurt them

At that price weapons should have their own mini-factory building homing bullets out of CO2 and releasing oxygen... :|
