Airsoft pistol MK23 Special operation with silencer, CO2 version

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 the MK23 SOCOM by Y&P. Constructively almost identical to the Tokyo Marui brand. Even the magazine is compatible. It is made 1: 1 to real gun and very well processed. Although it is plastic, it is indistinguishable from the original. Small pistol parts are metall. For example, the barrel, the safety levers, the entire magazine, and so on. With a heavy metal magazine the gun weight of the pistol is 780 g. In addition , packing also include silencer. You can screw it directly onto the gun barrel without any adapter. So you get a luxurious looking set, but also a quieter and more accurate weapon. Inside the silencer is an inner barrel that fit to the barrel of the gun. This improves weapon accuracy and performance. The silencer body is also plastic.

The slide can be pulled back by the hand as a real gun, but it is not necessary for shooting. Just load BBs, insert CO2 cartridge, insert magazine into pistol....and just press the trigger. Only the inner parts and the hammer move when shooting - gun has no blowback. Therefore it has lower gas consumption and is quieter.
