The Ledger got curious if the Tokyo Marui MK23 SOCOM NBB pistol, which many airsoft snipers prefer as a backup, really as good as claimed to be. The Tokyo Marui’s HK MK23 Socom pistol replica features original markings on the lock, barrel, grip, and magazine. Constructed with a durable ABS composite for the slide, lower body, and grip, it also boasts metal components including the external barrel thread, silencer, cock, and some internal parts. The Hop-Up rubber adjustment knob is accessible once the slider is removed. Powered by green gas loaded into the magazine, its superior adjustable Hop-Up system outperforms many electric replicas in terms of accuracy and range, with an initial velocity of 330 FPS and a range exceeding 50 meters. The gun comes with a metal suppressor, a replica flashlight module and laser sight, a robust carrying case, and a small pack of BBs.
