Raven EU17 Hydro Series Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol in Desert Tan

Raven EU17 Hydro Series Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol in Desert Tan

If you're after a dependable sidearm with no-nonsense reliability and a bold, field-ready finish, the Raven EU17 Hydro Series Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol in Desert Tan delivers exactly that. Part of NUPROL’s renowned RAVEN lineup, this EU-series GBB airsoft pistol combines solid performance, ergonomic design, and a distinctive hydro-dipped frame that sets it apart from the sea of plain black sidearms.

Built around a Generation 4 EU-style frame, the EU17 features the familiar finger ridges and aggressive stippling that provide a confident grip—even in gloves or when things get messy. The textured surface gives you full control, while the removable back straps let you fine-tune the grip width to match your hand size. It’s one of those pistols that just feels right the second you pick it up.

The Desert Tan frame is constructed from high-impact HIPS polymer to keep it lightweight, while the alloy slide adds just the right amount of heft. That combination delivers a satisfying gas blowback action that cycles smoothly with every shot. Internally, the 90mm barrel with a 6.03mm tightbore diameter provides solid accuracy and shot stability straight out of the box.

It clocks in at approximately 300 FPS with 0.20g BBs on green gas—right in the sweet spot for most UK skirmish sites. And thanks to the adjustable hop-up system, you can fine-tune your BB trajectory for different weights or playing styles. Accessing the hop is simple: rack the slide, pop the rear plate, and dial it in. No tools, no hassle.

Up front, the 12mm CW female-threaded alloy barrel lets you kit out with suppressors or tracer units using a 12mm to 14mm adapter. On the underside, a 20mm Picatinny rail on the dust cover offers space for torches, lasers, or other accessories. It’s a pistol built with versatility in mind, letting you tailor it to your loadout whether you're a weekend warrior or a serious milsimmer.

The standard “dot and U” combat sights offer a clean sight picture, and deep serrations along the slide ensure a firm grip while racking—even under stress. The black serial plate beneath the rail also doubles as a trigger lock for transport safety—slide it back to lock, forward to disengage. Small touches like this make the EU17 feel like a well-thought-out tool, not just a replica.

The two-stage safety trigger helps prevent accidental firing, only engaging when your finger fully presses the centre blade. A flared magwell and enlarged magazine release make reloads quick and clean—no fumbling when the pressure’s on. And being compatible with both green gas and CO2 EU-series magazines, it’s ready to roll in any season or skirmish scenario.
