A Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol built by WE Europe as part of their EU-Series Pistol Range, and is a more compact version of the standard sized EU-Series pistol.
- 6.03mm Tightbore inner barrel
- ETU/MOSFET, High torque motor, 16:1 CNC gears
- High-density polymer build - Light and fast!
If you like the integrally suppressed AR look but want something pre-upgraded with more competitive internals than the average, the Delta Armory DA-C05-ETU CHARLIE™ M4/AR-15 Silent Ops 7 AEG is the one. This is the ETU-equipped version of the DA-C05 Silent Ops 7, boasting the same strong high density polymer build but with the best internals Delta has to offer currently.

The ETU also allows for burst mode and binary trigger to be programmed in, along with pre-cocking for an almost instantaneous trigger response

- ABS Polymer build
- LPEG - For backyard shooting
- Licensed by FN Herstal
Whether you need a novelty primary for humiliation kills or you've got a younger sibling who wants to get in on the action, the Cybergun FN Herstal SCAR-L Budget LPEG is a great option. Made entirely from lightweight ABS polymer, this LPEG (Low Power Electric Gun) is powered by the included magazine-style 7.2V NiMh battery unit and is loaded through the dummy reflex sight on the top rail, functioning as a gravity-fed mag with 300 BB capacity.
It goes without saying that this isn't a competitive skirmish tool, but it is a great entry point into the world of sports shooting for those too young to be trusted with a full-power AEG. That said, this still hits out at around 210 FPS using 0.20g BBs with semi-automatic or fully automatic fire modes, meaning eye protection and the usual safety precautions are still necessary.
While it makes a great first foray into target shooting, this SCAR also makes a great prop for theatre work, being convincing enough from a distance while lightweight and affordable. Whether you're looking for a backyard plinker more suitable for younger shooters or a humiliation-kill platform which will make skirmishers weep with laughter, the Cybergun SCAR-L LPEG will do the trick!
- Full metal construction
- Optics-ready slide
- 20mm Picatinny frame rail

The trigger guard features undercuts to ensure your grip is consistent, and the trigger is short, light and tactile, exactly what we expect from a Hi-Capa build.
With uniquely speedy looks and a stylish custom colour finish, the A.W Custom will definitely stand out on site alongside relatively boring combat pistols. Whether you're hitting the field with a tracer and flashlight mounted or you're hitting steel targets in a hurry at a shooting comp, the Armorer Works HX26 Hi-Capa 4.3 A.W Custom GBB Pistol; Optics Ready is a solid piece of kit!

The Delta Armory programmable ETU/MOSFET system is also present, offering super snappy trigger response, improved rate of fire and the ability to program the fire controls for burst mode and binary trigger.

- ABS Polymer build
- Semi / Full-auto fire modes
- Integrated folding foregrip & compensator
If you're after a winter-proof sidearm with a unique look, the Tokyo Marui Model 93R Raffica AEP should be in your sights! An Automatic Electric Pistol (AEP) made from ABS polymer with alloy controls and trim parts, this menacing pistol design is inspired by the iconic Raffica, a 3-round burst-capable derivative of the M92, famed for its presence in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Battlefield 3, and for forming the basis for Robocop's large-and-in-charge "Auto 9".
An ideal lightweight sidearm for a sniper, the 93R boasts both semi-automatic and fully automatic fire modes, with an impressive mag capacity of 40 BBs. On a 7.4V AEP LiPo, the trigger responds quickly, and the rate of fire is plenty to keep heads down while you relocate to the next sniper's hide. If you're more of a CQB player, you'll be happy to learn you can add a railed slide and thread adapter (available separately) to mount a tracer and red dot sight, should the mission require it.
The main advantage of an AEP is its immunity to winter "cool-down", which makes GBB pistols perform poorly in colder weather, especially when fired rapidly. AEPs are also easier to maintain and more reliable in the long term, not to mention cheaper to run because they don't use gas. If you need a sidearm that doesn't quit when the ground gets hard, the Tokyo Marui Model 93R Raffica AEP is ideal!

A reliable gas blowback pistol, with a lightweight polymer frame and tough alloy slide, this is a go-to tried-and-true pistol for many Airsofters.
- High-density polymer build
- NBB Pistol - Very efficient & accurate
- Fits VSR/GBB Inner barrels & HOP-up buckings
If you have a sneaky playstyle, an MK23 belongs in your arsenal! This phenomenally quiet Airsoft NBB pistol has been the sidearm of choice for Airsoft snipers since it was released, thanks to its impressive long-range performance, compatibility with VSR-10-style HOP-up buckings and barrels and its near inaudible muzzle report, especially when the inner barrel extension inside the included suppressor is swapped out for a foam filling.
Famed for its role in the Metal Gear Solid video game series as Snake's primary, as well as being featured in one of the coolest scenes in Breaking Bad, the MK23 is an absolute icon, both in Airsoft and the real steel world. The real MK23 finds its origins in the "OHWS-SOP" project, designed for US SOCOM operators requiring match-grade accuracy and exceptional durability.
Part of the reason the Airsoft MK23 is famed for being ultra quiet is due to its non-blowback action, avoiding the excessive noise of the slide cycling, which also provides the edge in gas efficiency and consistency. For those who simply must upgrade every Airsoft gun they own, the MK23 is compatible with VSR-10 style inner barrels and HOP-up buckings, with access to plenty of specific tuning parts to bring the very best from this already impressive platform!
Find an affordable replica with our huge range of cheap Airsoft guns!
At Patrol Base UK, we offer a huge range of cheap Airsoft guns for beginners, budget-conscious skirmishers, and anyone after high-quality affordable BB guns in the UK, with options from simple shotguns to beginner sniper rifles and 1-2 day dispatch on guns under £200. If you're a beginner, budget-conscious player, or someone looking for affordable airsoft options in the UK, you're on the right page!
Types of Cheap Airsoft Guns
Cheap airsoft guns use spring, gas, or electric mechanisms, and for most new players, the best value is usually an entry-level AEG because it is reliable, easy to use, and well-suited to regular skirmishing; beginner sniper rifles with adjustable hop-ups are good for those looking for longer range and better accuracy. Airsoft guns use spring, gas, or electric mechanisms: spring-powered guns require manual cocking, gas-powered guns use compressed gas, and electric guns (AEGs) are battery-operated. Gas-powered pistols and other gas replicas usually fire semi-automatically, often cost more than spring options, and CO2 models are often chosen for their quality and sound.
Price Ranges for Cheap Airsoft Guns
Entry-level airsoft guns start at around £50, spring-powered options can cost £20 or less, and great starter setups usually sit between £70 and £200.
For new players, we usually recommend a reliable AEG over a gas-powered model, especially a beginner bundle, as our budget kits often include a battery and charger, and AEGs' metal gearboxes are easier to repair or upgrade later, giving better value for money.
Customisation and Two-Tone Service
Whatever catches your eye, you can customise it to your liking with our two-tone service. Choose any replica from our site and choose your non-realistic paint job on its product page or in the basket. The two-tone service customises the colour of your airsoft gun, ensuring that 51% of it is coloured in a non-realistic colour, with blue being an acceptable option.
This helps buyers without the required defences, like a UKARA, meet UK legal requirements for realistic-looking replicas by making them clearly distinct from a real firearm. Not only does it let you buy your first Airsoft replica, but some guns actually look pretty stylish with a two-tone paint job. Take a look at our pre-two-tone replicas for some inspiration! Purchasing realistic-looking airsoft replicas in the UK is subject to legal requirements.
