Tokyo Marui MK23 Socom Gas NBB Airsoft Pistol

Tokyo Marui MK23 Airsoft Gas Powered Non Blowback Pistol

The Tokyo Marui MK23 Gas Non Blowback isn’t your average sidearm—it’s the legendary “offensive handgun” built with stealth in mind, modelled after the USSOCOM MK23 issued to US Special Forces. And let’s be honest, it’s basically airsoft’s answer to the suppressed assassin’s tool from *Metal Gear Solid*. Iconic? You bet.

What sets the MK23 apart straight out of the gate is the non-blowback system. No flashy slide movement, no gas wasted on recoil—just solid, consistent shots every time you pull the trigger. It takes a bit more pressure than your usual GBB pistol, sure, but that also makes it quieter than a mouse’s fart in a padded room. Paired with the included suppressor, this thing is stealthy enough to make your opponent question their own hearing. Genuinely, it’s the kind of silence that turns heads and raises eyebrows—usually *after* you’ve already got the tag.

The body is made from ABS polymer—keeping it lightweight without feeling flimsy. It’s comfy in the hand, well-balanced, and easy to holster. You’ll be able to carry it all day during a long woodland skirmish and barely notice it’s there. And speaking of carrying, it comes neatly packaged in a proper hard case, with a 28-round die-cast magazine, a functional Laser Aiming Module (LAM), and that beautifully effective suppressor.

Performance-wise, you’re looking at around 260 FPS on Cybergun gas, or closer to 300 FPS with something like Abby Predator Ultra. It’s snappy and reliable, especially in the spring to autumn months. Just don’t go pumping in high-pressure gas—these mags weren’t made for it, and it’ll only cause problems. Stick to medium-power gas, and this airsoft handgun will run like clockwork.

Now, here's where it gets interesting for the tinkerers and techies out there. The MK23 platform is ripe for upgrades. Want better hop-up consistency? Get yourself a Hadron TDC kit. Looking for more range or tighter groupings? Swap in a tight bore barrel and an H-Plate. It’s a modder’s dream, and there’s a huge aftermarket community around it—so the sky’s the limit.

In terms of feel, it’s got that movie-prop presence to it. The size, the squared-off suppressor, the bulk—it all adds up to a serious looking sidearm. Some folks might say it’s a bit chunky for a pistol, but if you’re running it as a sniper’s secondary or as your main in CQB (yes, some people do), that heft just adds to the immersion. And yeah, it does make you feel like Solid Snake every time you draw it.

The MK23 isn’t blowback, but make no mistake—it’s still one of the most reliable, accurate airsoft pistols you can get for sneaky, tactical play. It hits where you aim, it doesn’t give away your position, and it’s rock solid out of the box. For anyone building a stealth loadout or needing a dependable sidearm for longer games, this one’s a no-brainer.
