Raven EU17 Hydro Series Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol in Digital Desert Tan

Raven EU18 Hydro Series Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol in Digital Desert Tan

If you’re in the market for an airsoft pistol that offers more than just standard semi-auto performance, the Raven EU18 Hydro Series in Digital Desert Tan should be on your shortlist. Built under Nuprol’s well-established RAVEN brand, the EU18 isn’t just a reliable GBB—it brings the added chaos of full-auto firing into your loadout, wrapped in a rugged hydro-dipped digital desert camo that turns heads and blends beautifully into tan or arid loadouts.

Externally, the EU18 is a familiar face to anyone who’s run a Gen.4 EU-style airsoft handgun. You’ve got the finger-ridged frame, textured grip, and interchangeable back straps for customising your grip size. The 20mm Picatinny rail on the dust cover means torches and lasers slot on without a fuss, and the alloy slide comes finished in that sweet Digital Desert hydrographic coating. From the moment you pick it up, you’ll notice the ergonomic feel—tight, tactile, and locked into your hand like it was built just for you.

Now let’s talk functionality. Like its EU17 sibling, it runs on green gas and features a realistic gas blowback action with around 300 FPS using 0.20g BBs. The real kicker? That fire selector switch on the left side of the slide. Flick it down and the EU18 switches into full-auto, letting you unleash a stream of BBs in seconds. Great for room clears or when you just want to lay down a panic burst and watch opponents scatter. The switch itself is simple to operate, marked with one dot for semi and three dots for full-auto—no guesswork, just straightforward mayhem.

The pistol’s 90mm inner barrel features a 6.03mm tightbore for tighter shot groupings than your standard barrel, and the hop-up is fully adjustable. Access is easy: pull back the slide and pop the rear plate to dial it in. Once tuned, you’ll get a nice balance of range and accuracy, especially with quality BBs and gas. Whether you're shooting .20g or stepping up to .25g for consistency, the hop keeps your shots level and predictable.

Details matter, and the EU18 delivers. From the deep slide serrations that make racking it easy even in gloves, to the traditional square-dot sights (white dot front and white “U” rear), everything’s been thought through. The frame also features a flared magwell, which helps with speed reloads—especially when you're in a rush mid-firefight. That extended mag release? It's a subtle upgrade but makes a big difference when you’re wearing gloves or under pressure.

For realism, it sports a mock ejection port and a separate mock extractor on the slide, giving it a closer resemblance to its real-world counterpart. The trigger is a two-stage safety style—you’ll need to depress the centre blade before it fires, adding an extra layer of protection against accidental firing. And that black serial plate under the rail? It doubles as the trigger lock. Slide it back to lock, forward to release. Neat, easy, and effective for transport safety.

Compatible with Raven's own EU-series magazines, you’ve got options: standard 23-round gas or CO2 mags, and even 48-round extended mags if you're feeling spicy. It doesn't ship with gas, so make sure to stock up on green gas—or CO2 if you’re planning on switching mags later. Either way, this airsoft pistol is built to handle the recoil and perform under pressure, all while looking sharp on your rig.
