I have tested quite a few airsoft pistols over the last couple of years, but I've barely scratched the surface of what's available.
To give you a taste of what else is out there, I've decided to introduce this page which covers guns I've not had a chance to test (and may well never do), but which strike me as worthy of one, for a variety of reasons.
FN 5-7 - TM or Marushin
Not out yet, but the FN sidearm for the 5.7mm P90 round is coming soon from Marushin and TM (at least).
With a plastic encased slide, this should be one of the most realistic looking airsoft pistols going (although it's a shame KSC or WA aren't doing one...)
Weight : 600g-700g probably.
134 Minigun - Piper
You really need to see this to believe it, so follow this link , but basically it's a 21st century Gatling gun.
With multiple barrels and a constant airflow it just fires whilst the (electrically powered) barrels pass the flow.
Check out the videos of one working and you'll see what airsoft can do (for a price!)
Knights Armament SPR - G&P
G&P's AEGs have a mixed reputation - Great guns, with flawed internals, but the SPR/SR25 models really appeal to me.
Weight : 4,600g
Walther P38 - Maruzen
The archetypal Nazi sidearm (although everyone still thinks it was the Luger!), the P38 is a classic handgun design from Walther.
It continued in service after the war as the P1 and if you doubt it's influence, look at a Beretta 92 or a SIG P226.
The Maruzen P38 is a great looking gun - A worthy stablemate to the lovely (if flawed) P99 - and looks especially good in the silver finish.
Weight : 720g
Walther PPK - Maruzen
Very James Bond, but the PPK remains one of the most elegant guns ever produced.
The Maruzen PPK seems to have a reasonable reputation and I've nearly bought one a number of times.
Impressively, too, they have managed to squeeze 22BBs into the magazine.
Weight : 380g
Nambu - Marushin
Often mistaken for a Luger, the Nambu was Japan's WWII sidearm.
Marushin announced this for a 2004 release in 8mm NBB form.
They have modelled a working cocking action, which, hopefully, will mean it won't be the tactile disappointment the Automag was.
Weight : N/a
Smith & Wesson 4505 - Tanaka
Another 'classic' GBB, but this is here because I like the S&W M4505/6 so much.
As far as I can tell, this is the only GBB version of the gun that was ever made. I once had one on order from Endoshoji, but they were unable to obtain it. If you have one, get in touch!
Weight : 700g(?)
CZ75 - KSC
Just about the only former-Eastern Block handgun going (if you ignore Hudson's rare and, reportedly, fragile TT33), the CZ75 is based upon the Browning Hi-Power and looks a handsome gun.
Like the Sig 2009, this is not a rare gun, but one I have yet to try out (except for an already broken TM springer).
Weight : 725g
