KWC PM Makarov MKV CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol in Black

KWC PM Makarov MKV CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol – Black

The KWC PM Makarov MKV CO2 Blowback Airsoft Pistol is a compact slice of Cold War history that packs more than just good looks. Based on the legendary Soviet Makarov PM service pistol, this GBB airsoft handgun delivers an authentic shooting experience wrapped up in a solid full-metal frame. And make no mistake — this thing has presence. From the moment you rack the slide, it just *feels* right.

This airsoft pistol is made by KWC, a name known for building rugged and realistic CO2-powered platforms. With a weight hovering around 900 grams, it mimics the real deal down to the details — brown bakelite-style grip panels, a bottom-latch mag release, and a short, snappy blowback cycle. It’s not just for the shelf, either. On the field, it brings a surprising punch, clocking in at roughly 370 FPS with 0.20g BBs. Great for skirmishers running Soviet or Cold War loadouts, or collectors who value period-correct gear.

The blowback action is particularly satisfying. Each shot kicks with a sharp snap, and when the mag runs dry, the slide locks back just like its real counterpart. You get a functioning hammer, working safety lever on the slide, and even a lanyard loop at the grip base — it's the small details that really sell the realism here. And let’s be honest, there’s something really cool about fielding a pistol that looks like it could’ve been tucked under a trench coat during the Cold War.

It’s powered by a 12g CO2 capsule housed inside a 15-round metal magazine. Gas efficiency is surprisingly decent for a blowback — you’re looking at around 190 shots per CO2 under the right conditions. That’s no small feat for a compact GBB pistol. Recoil is manageable but satisfying, and the consistent FPS means it holds its own even outdoors. Whether you’re ducking behind trees or clearing CQB corners, the Makarov won’t leave you hanging.

Hop-up adjustment does require removing the slide, which might be a bit fiddly for newer players, but it's a fair trade-off for such a historically accurate form factor. Once dialled in, it’s best paired with 0.25g BBs for tighter shot groupings. At around 10 metres, you’ll be grouping shots in an area not much bigger than a £2 coin — not bad at all for such a short barrelled airsoft gun.

From a collector’s standpoint, this is a faithful reproduction that stands out in any loadout or display. From a skirmisher’s perspective, it’s a solid, reliable airsoft pistol with consistent performance and classic style. No rails, no flashy extras — just old-school steel, Soviet design, and dependable function. It’s like the AK of pistols — simple, tough, and it just works.

In short? The KWC PM Makarov MKV brings the best of both worlds: authentic Cold War aesthetics and practical, skirmish-ready firepower. If you're building a Russian-themed loadout, want something unique on your hip, or just appreciate a good bit of historical kit, this little beast is well worth a look.
