2.5 Ammunition

WARNING: Never use ammunition not specifically designated for use in your

weapon. Failure to use the specific cartridge intended for use in the P99 pistol

may cause the pistol to jam, fail to fire or even generate excessive gas

pressure which can damage or destroy the pistol, cause personal injury, death

or property damage.

Locate the caliber designation marked on the

pistol. This information indicates the ammunition

specifically intended for use in the pistol

(see 2.5 Figure 1).

Use only ammunition corresponding to the caliber

of the weapon and which conforms to the

provisions of C.I.P. or SAAMI (or certified

according to “Technische Richtlinie Patrone

9mm x 19 schadstoffreduziert“).

Check your ammunition before shooting it. Use

ammunition in prime condition.

A firearm and ammunition are a system and must work together. Their performance

is closely related.

Different combinations of bullet velocity, bullet weight and firearm weight can have

major impact on felt recoil; high felt recoil can be uncomfortable to some shooters.

For example:

• Gun Weight: lower gun weight increases felt recoil.

• Bullet Weight: higher bullet weight increases felt recoil.

• Bullet Velocity: higher bullet velocity increases felt recoil.

To adjust yourself to higher levels of felt recoil, consider the following:

• Use a firm two-hand hold on the grip when firing.

• Always begin your shooting experience with the lowest bullet velocity and

lowest bullet weight available for your firearm.

• Ask your firearm dealer to suggest the lowest power, lowest velocity, lightest

bullet weight for your firearm.

• You can also consider changing your firearm’s grip configuration/composition

to better fit your hand’s specific size and shape.
