G&G Armament GX45 MkV (EU) Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol – Black
Blending classic 1911 aesthetics with modern airsoft innovation, the G&G GX45 MkV (EU) is a gas blowback pistol that’s as functional as it is stylish. This isn’t just another throwback sidearm—it’s a refined, competition-ready airsoft handgun designed to perform in fast-paced skirmishes, harsh UK weather, and intense CQB encounters. G&G took the soul of the 1911 platform and gave it a serious upgrade.
From top to bottom, this airsoft pistol is built tough. The full-metal construction covers the slide, frame, barrel, and all major controls—giving you a weighty, realistic feel that comes in around 715g. It’s solid in the hand but balanced enough to stay nimble when you’re weaving through tight corners or ducking into cover. The matte black finish, deep-cut G&G engravings, and competition-style slide cuts give it that custom-shop aesthetic without being over-the-top.
What really makes the GX45 MkV stand out, though, is the smart hop-up system. Instead of removing the slide or fiddling with tiny dials, you get a bullet-style tool that fits straight into the front of the outer barrel. Quick twist, and your hop-up is dialled in. Gloves on? Mid-game? No problem. It’s the kind of clever, no-fuss system that makes you wonder why all GBB pistols don’t come this way.
Internally, the pistol is equally refined. It’s powered by G&G’s Whirl Cylinder Valve—a gas system engineered for efficiency and cold-weather resilience. Combined with cold-resistant green rubber internals, this pistol maintains reliable cycling even in chilly UK temps where lesser pistols start wheezing. You’re looking at around 270 FPS on 0.20g BBs, so it’s skirmish-safe and CQB-friendly straight from the case.
The recoil is sharp and snappy, thanks to the ported slide and skeletonised internals that allow for faster cycling. Extended slide release, ambidextrous safety, and a skeletonised trigger and hammer all add to that competition feel. The grip safety is well-contoured—not too sensitive, but always responsive. And those high-density polymer grip panels? They’re textured for solid purchase without being overly aggressive. It’s a pistol that feels ready for action the moment you draw it.
On top, you’ve got adjustable rear sights with a white dot system and anti-glare serrations, keeping your sight picture crisp even in varying light conditions. The full-size frame includes a lanyard loop at the base of the grip—useful for those who like a bit of retention peace of mind when moving fast or climbing obstacles.
Each GX45 MkV comes boxed in a hard pistol case, complete with a 26-round green gas magazine, a speedloader, and the unique hop-up adjustment tool. It’s a complete package that’s ready to run, straight out of the box. Whether you’re building out a modern loadout or just want a 1911-inspired GBB pistol that won’t let you down when it matters, this one's built to perform.
