Nuprol Raven EU17 Semi Auto Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol in Black

Nuprol Raven EU17 Semi Auto Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol in Black

The Nuprol Raven EU17 is one of those sidearms that’s earned its place in many airsoft players’ kit bags. Part of NUPROL’s RAVEN series, it combines practical features, a sturdy build, and a realistic shooting feel that makes it just as at home in a CQB environment as it is during outdoor skirmishes. This isn’t a flashy showpiece—it’s a dependable, no-nonsense airsoft pistol built for regular use.

Externally, the EU17 mirrors the real steel version’s clean, squared-off profile. The alloy slide is tough and gives a satisfying blowback recoil with every shot, while the high-density polymer frame keeps the weight manageable. At the front, you’ve got a 12mm CW female threaded alloy barrel, ready to take a 12mm to 14mm CCW adapter for fitting tracer units or suppressors. That means you can customise it for stealthier night games or add a bit of personal style.

Up top, the square combat sights provide a crisp sight picture. They’re simple but effective, letting you align shots quickly without overcomplicating things. On the right-hand side, you’ll spot a mock ejection port and faux extractor—purely cosmetic, but they give the EU17 a realistic look that’s appreciated by anyone who values authenticity in their gear.

Under the dust cover, you’ve got a 20mm Picatinny rail for mounting torches, lasers, or other compatible accessories. The serial plate just ahead of the trigger guard doubles as the trigger lock safety—push it back to secure the pistol for transport, forward to get back in the game. The trigger guard itself is shaped for the “European grip” shooting style and features front checkering for a more secure hold.

True to the EU series design, the EU17 uses a two-stage safety trigger. You’ll need to depress the central blade before the trigger will pull, reducing the chance of an accidental shot. The extended magazine release and subtly flared magwell make reloads faster and smoother, even when you’re wearing gloves. The grip texture is aggressive enough to keep the pistol planted in your hand without being uncomfortable.

Inside, the 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel and adjustable hop-up work together to give the EU17 solid accuracy for a sidearm. The hop-up is easy to access—remove the slide and you can fine-tune it for your preferred BB weight. Once dialled in, it holds its setting well, keeping your shots consistent from start to finish. Gas efficiency is also respectable, making it a practical choice for longer skirmishes where every mag counts.

The EU17 is finished in full tactical black, giving it a professional, understated look. Because it’s a realistic colour, you’ll need a UKARA or similar defence to purchase it unless you choose the two-tone version. Out of the box, it comes with a gas magazine, spare nozzle and O-ring set, plus two backstraps so you can adjust the grip to your hand size.

For players who want a reliable gas blowback pistol with a straightforward design and dependable performance, the Raven EU17 ticks the right boxes. It’s got the features you need without unnecessary gimmicks, and it delivers a satisfying shooting experience every time you draw it.
