- 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.
