Raven EU17 Hydro Series Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol in Digital Desert Tan With BDS Sight
If you're after a skirmish-ready airsoft pistol that stands out in both function and flair, the Raven EU17 Hydro Series Gas Blowback in Digital Desert Tan with BDS Sight might just be your next go-to sidearm. Built under NUPROL’s RAVEN brand, this EU-series airsoft handgun is a versatile platform with semi-automatic capability, enhanced ergonomics, and upgraded sights—ready to take on any CQB scenario or tactical loadout.
Right from the grip, the EU17 features a Gen.4 style frame with finger ridges and a grippy dot-textured surface that keeps the pistol firmly in hand, even under pressure. Whether you're barehanded or wearing gloves, the ergonomic feel of the polymer frame makes weapon handling natural and fast. That Digital Desert hydro-dipped finish gives it a distinctive edge—subtle, effective, and undeniably tactical. The alloy slide offers a realistic weight and helps produce a crisp, satisfying blowback on each shot.
This model includes a red dot-style BDS sight pre-installed, giving you faster target acquisition and easier aim tracking—especially in fast-paced, close-quarter games. That alone adds serious value to this pistol, cutting down your draw-to-target time and giving you an edge in reflex shooting. You still get the standard white dot front and “U” rear iron sights built into the slide if you want to run it without the optic.
Internally, the EU17 runs on green gas and clocks in at approximately 300 FPS with 0.20g BBs. The 90mm inner barrel features a 6.03mm tightbore for consistent accuracy, while the fully adjustable hop-up allows you to tune your shots to match BB weight and shooting distance. Accessing the hop is easy—just pull back the slide, press forward on the backplate, and you're in. This is a proper skirmish-ready GBB pistol that doesn’t just look the part, it performs.
On the practical side, the 12mm CW female-threaded outer barrel allows for the attachment of suppressors or tracer units using an adapter. Beneath the barrel, the 20mm Picatinny rail offers room for torches or lasers—perfect for kitting it out to match your loadout. The frame also includes a black serial number plate that doubles as a trigger lock; slide it back to engage the safety for transport, forward to disengage when ready.
Handling is intuitive thanks to a large, glove-friendly magazine release and a flared magwell that helps guide reloads under stress. The trigger itself uses a two-stage safety blade design, preventing accidental firing unless your finger is properly positioned. Combined with a solidly textured grip and removable back straps, this is a pistol that feels custom-fitted and game-ready right out of the box.
This variant supports both green gas and CO2 magazines—so whether you're shooting in the summer or dealing with colder environments, you’ve got flexibility. A standard gas magazine is included, along with spare nozzles and O-rings to keep it field-maintainable without needing upgrades from the start.
