Airsoft pistol MK-23 Stealth Assassin with silencer, GNB

The HK MK 23 is a semi-automatic large-frame pistol chambered in .45 ACP. It was developed as an extremely durable weapon for harsh environments. In the 1990s, it was added to the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) arsenal as part of the Offensive Handgun Weapon System (OHWS) program for special operations forces.

Replica of MK23 SOCOM pistol from Y&P. This is the same pistol sold by ASG under the name MK23 Special Operation.

The gun is made 1:1 to its real model and very well made. Although the frame and slide are plastic, it is indistinguishable from the original. The small parts on the gun are metal - e.g. barrel, trigger, striker, safety levers, magazine, etc. With the heavy metal magazine of realistic appearance, the total weight of the pistol is 780g.

There is a rail on the frame of the weapon for installing a light or laser. The stock has a roughened surface for a more secure grip.

The slide can be stretched by hand as in the real steel gun, but it is not necessary for shooting. Just insert the magazine filled with BBs and Green gas into the gun and pull the trigger. You don't have to worry about anything. Only the internal parts and striker move when firing. There is no movement of the slide - BlowBack. This makes the gun quieter and less gas consuming - ideal for snipers.

An interesting part of the package is a silencer with a length of 19.5 cm. It can be screwed directly onto the barrel of the gun without any reducer (+16 mm thread) and you will get not only an exclusive looking set, but also a quieter, more accurate and more powerful gun. Inside the silencer there is an internal barrel that connects to the gun inner barrel and extends the barrel by about 185 mm. This increases the accuracy of the gun and the power to 110 m/s. Without the silencer, the performance is about 90 m/s. The silencer casing is plastic.

The gun allows for real disassembly, It has ambidextrous functional safeties (bolt and magazine release). At the end of the handguard there is an integrated eye for attaching a safety cable.

Suitable BBs weight for shooting with a silencer is 0.25 g.
