I have started to collect classic FWB air pistol and so far in the past 2 months I have aquire a 103, model2,and just received yesterday a LP 90
This is the first time shooting an electronic trigger on any pistol
All I can say is WOW!
But I'm trying to figure out when did the LP 90 was introduced?
And was the LP 90 the first AP to offer electronic trigger?
I appreciate any information on this classic AP
Thanks

Great info

Was the 90 the first AP to offer electronic trigger?
Or any pistols for that matter?

Looks like a pretty good list of FWB pistols. I see it is missing the C5 and C55 repeating C02 pistols. Is there any other pistols not on the wiki list?
