The MK23 was developed in the 1990s for US Special Operations Command: a large .45 pistol built for accuracy, often carried with a suppressor. This airsoft version by the Taiwanese maker STTi captures that look with its removable silencer, and it is one of the most affordable ways to get a full-size gas pistol.
Why players like it
- Silencer that adds power: it has a barrel inside, so fitting it extends the barrel, for more power, range and accuracy.
- Non-blowback: the slide stays still when you shoot, so all the gas goes into the shot. That means accurate shots and low gas use.
- 28 BB metal magazine for long strings of shots without reloading.
- Realistic handling: the hammer moves with each shot and can be cocked first, the safety works, and the slide can be pulled back.
- Heavy and solid: 780 g of polymer with metal parts.
Power
About 91 m/s (300 FPS, 0.84 J) with 0.20 g BBs, and up to about 116 m/s with the silencer fitted. Check your field's limits before a game. Like all gas pistols, it works best in mild weather.
Always wear eye protection when shooting, such as Bolle Cobra goggles.
