[KSC] MK23 SOCOM Pistol (CO2) ABS CO2 Gas Blowback (3rd batch / Released around late August 2023)

Finally, KSC has released a CO2 gas gun! The first one is the H&K Mk23!?

So, KSC's first CO2 GBB is a large handgun.

The "Mk23 SOCOM" is named after the Special Operations Group that unites the US military's special forces, and is packed with specifications required for close quarters combat (CQB).

This is one of KSC's most popular and enduring gas blowback handguns, and it has continued to be loved as its internal engine has been updated from the original to Hard Kick (05HK) to System 7 (07HK).

This latest model uses a new generation power unit called "System Zero" that significantly reduces the impact of outside temperatures. It is likely that "System Zero" will be used in KSC's CO2 series from now on.

The Mk23 is the largest handgun from KSC. It looks like it will be a powerful blowback model worthy of a non-standard military gun, and it's a model I'm really looking forward to.

The power source is CO2 (liquefied carbon dioxide), which is tenacious even at low temperatures, and it uses the largest big-bore cylinder (inner diameter 15.5mm) of any KSC pistol.

Another noteworthy feature is the mechanical feel of the short recoil of the heavy barrel unit.

In addition, the adjustment functions of the front and rear sights are realistically reproduced, and the dummy movable firing pin extractor and other features enhance the realism when held in the hand.

The huge slide blows back with the overwhelming power of CO2, making this the definitive SOCOM pistol that can be enjoyed all year round, with little effect from the outside temperature.

The real-size magazine holds 12g CO2 cartridges, just like a regular CO2 gas gun.

I was thinking that KSC hasn't released any crazy limited edition custom products for a while, but it turns out they were planning a product like this.

This time, the material is ABS, but the Mk23 is extremely popular in its HW version, which allows you to feel its overwhelming weight. I am well aware that HW is a material that is weak against impacts, but as the world's first heavyweight CO2 blowback gun, I can't help but look forward to its future commercialization.

Either way, I believe this is a highly sought-after item that toy gun enthusiasts should have in every household.

I'm really looking forward to it too.
