  • Full metal construction
  • Unique ported slide
  • Full-auto fire mode

If you like uniquely styled compact pistols with serious spray and pray potential, the Armorer Works VX8500 EU19 GBB Pistol Full Auto is a fantastic choice. This full metal gas blowback pistol stands out thanks to its P80-inspired frame and distinctive ported slide, giving it a modern, aggressive look straight out of the box.

The P80 style frame is a hugely popular upgrade on real steel platforms, offering an undercut trigger guard, extended beavertail and a full 20mm Picatinny rail. These features improve handling and ergonomics while allowing compatibility with a wide range of torches and laser units. The addition of a full auto fire mode adds an extra layer of fun for close-range encounters.

Designed as Armorer Works’ compact EU19 platform, the VX8500 is ideal for players who want a lighter and more manageable sidearm than a full-size service pistol without sacrificing performance. Whether you are picking up your first sidearm or want something that looks as good as it shoots, the Armorer Works VX8500 EU19 GBB Pistol Full Auto is a solid choice.

Description

Based on the EU19 platform, the compact alternative to the full-sized EU17, the Armorer Works VX8500 EU19 GBB Pistol Full Auto features striking custom styling straight out of the box. A ported slide paired with a P80 style frame improves ergonomics while giving the pistol a modern, high-end appearance.

Internally, the VX8500 is based on the WE EU19 system, delivering strong recoil thanks to its heavy metal slide and enlarged blowback unit. The outer barrel is fitted with 11mm CW female threading, allowing the use of a tracer unit or suppressor with a compatible thread adapter. The barrel is finished in matte black alloy with Armorer Works branding engraved on the chamber.

The slide features deep front and rear serrations for reliable manipulation in all weather conditions, along with weight-reducing cutouts and top corner ports inspired by custom real steel handguns. Glock-style white dot and U-notch iron sights provide a clear and familiar sight picture under pressure.

A fire selector switch allows the user to choose between semi-automatic and full automatic fire. Semi-auto is ideal for controlled gameplay, while full auto offers maximum close-range suppression and plenty of fun when the situation allows.

The enhanced frame includes a full-length 20mm Picatinny rail for mounting torches or laser units, offering broader compatibility than standard pistol rails. The trigger guard features undercuts and a recurved front face, allowing a higher grip for improved recoil control. An extended beavertail improves comfort and prevents slide bite during aggressive use.

The grip angle and texture are a noticeable upgrade over the standard EU19, providing excellent control in wet or muddy conditions. A low-profile Gen 3 style magazine release reduces the risk of accidental mag drops, while the steel slide lock ensures long-term durability. A lanyard point at the base of the grip allows the pistol to be tethered for extra security during skirmishes.

The adjustable HOP up unit can be accessed during disassembly and is compatible with TM GBB and VSR spec inner barrels and buckings, giving plenty of upgrade potential. As it is based on the WE EU platform, aftermarket internal compatibility is excellent.

If you are looking for a compact, aggressively styled GBB pistol with full auto capability and strong upgrade support, the Armorer Works VX8500 EU19 GBB Pistol Full Auto is a fantastic choice and offers impressive performance for its price point.
