Bolt action .22 pistol inspired by the British Welrod Mk 1

VP22 Bolt Action Pistol Details

From the developers of the mp22k, Gun Cad Ideas brings us the release of their latest design, the VP22.

This unique pistol is a bolt action, magazine-fed, optionally suppressed firearm chambered in .22 caliber. Inspired by the British Welrod Mk 1 pistol, the VP22 is designed for point-blank or very short-range shooting.

Despite its “close up” design it still maintains reasonable accuracy up to 25 meters. The VP22 is a piece of history and deserves a place on every 3D gun printer’s wall.

VP22 Bolt Action Pistol Tech Specs

The VP22 (Weld Rod) style bolt action pistols design includes a grip safety and an integral magazine, allowing for a compact package that can be fired without the grip/magazine.

The VP22 fires affordable and accessible ammunition such as 22LR Subsonic or 22LR CCI Quiet

This pistol produces minimal noise, and it can be easily printed using less than .5kg of filament with only one part needing supports.
