Valentines Day 2021: Guns under £100

If you like speedy ported-slide pistols, the Armorer Works VX9 Mod 2 EU19 GBB Pistol should fit the bill! This full metal GBB pistol is based on the EU19 design but dressed to impress with a P80-inspired enhanced frame and unique ported slide. For the price, this is one of the best-looking GBB pistols out there in our opinion!

The P80 frame is one of the most popular upgrades for real steel Glocks, offering an undercut trigger guard, extended beavertail and a full 20mm Picatinny frame rail, enhancing ergonomics and offering broader compatibility with flashlights and laser aiming modules. Up top, the unique Armorer Works slide boasts linear front and rear serrations, anti-glare texture on the top, stylish ports on the top and sides and weight-reduction cuts for a slick, custom look. Inside the slide, the internals are WE EU-series spec, meaning an extra-large blowback unit which provides violent recoil, much heavier than most of its rivals.

The VX9 is Armorer Works' "compact" offering, ideal for those who want to carry a sidearm which is a bit smaller and lighter than "service pistol" sized platforms but still packs a punch when you need it. If your needs dictate a stylish pistol with pre-upgraded vibes, you won't find anything better at this price than the Armorer Works VX9 Mod 2 EU19 GBB Pistol!

If you are looking for a cheap yet decent holster filler, Golden Eagle has something you'll like! The G.E Hi-capa 4.3 is a full metal clone of the Tokyo Marui, meaning 100% compatibility with aftermarket upgrades and the intense recoil and realistic feel of full metal straight out of the box.

Though it is based on the Tokyo Marui 4.3, the Golden Eagle Hi-capa has a 6.02mm tightbore inner barrel, adding to its accuracy potential, improving gas efficiency and raising FPS slightly. Golden Eagle also saw fit to add an 11mm CW female threaded outer barrel, meaning you don't need a new outer barrel to fit a tracer or suppressor, just an 11mm CW to 14mm CCW adapter. Unlike many other cheap GBB pistols, the Golden Eagle Hi-capa feels buttery smooth when cycling and is remarkably consistent, pointing to well-made internals and tight tolerances.

Whether its fate is to be your trusty sidearm, ready for close encounters, or it is destined to be built up into a Speedsoft monster, bristling with upgrades, the Golden Eagle Hi-capa will serve you well!

Whether you're after an economical pistol for backyard target shooting or a winter-ready sidearm with full-auto, the Swiss Arms NAVY Pistol AEP; MOSFET Version is a fine choice. Styled after an iconic special forces sidearm famed for its reliability, the NAVY Pistol boasts an alloy slide and polymer frame, giving it a more realistic weight and feel than other AEPs.

This version is equipped with a MOSFET trigger unit, enhancing trigger response, boosting rate of fire and allowing 7.4V LiPo batteries to be used. The set even includes a USB LiPo balance charger and a speed loader, though it does not include a battery (we recommend a 7.4V 680mAh LiPo).

While it may not be a violently recoiling, maintenance-heavy beast like a GBB pistol, an AEP runs all year round, with no care about the cold and minimal maintenance between games. Unlike most GBB pistols, its full auto fire mode is accurate and effective, making it an asset for a sniper seeking a compact sidearm which always works when the trigger is pulled.
