Tested by Ed

The Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 is my top tip for a first gas blowback pistol — incredibly good performance for what it is, very snappy, very accurate, with a huge amount of aftermarket parts. The Action Army AAP-01 is very very cheap at around $100 with a full-auto option, and the Elite Force Glock is a very very good platform at around $150; WE Glock 17s are more affordable with very good out-of-the-box performance, though the build quality isn't quite as good. I probably wouldn't recommend the VFC FNX-45 or P320 as a first pistol — I've had performance issues and they're known to have them. Don't make a gas blowback pistol your only replica — get an AEG primary first — and I nearly always run green gas over CO2.

Problems he hit

Hi-Capa polymer slide 'can break quite easily' if run on CO2 · 07:37

VFC FNX-45 and P320: 'I've just had performance issues with this and they are known to have performance issues generally' · 05:50

Green gas pistols may not work on very cold days; liquid gas must expand to function · 22:02

Storing mags with BBs keeps spring compressed; 'eventually... it's not going to feed as well' · 21:31

Out of the box

No chrono or weight data given for any pistol. Hi-Capa: 'incredibly good performance for what it is', 'very snappy, very accurate'. General figures only: GBB pistol mags ~20 rounds; CO2 cartridge ~1-2 mag fills; field limits cited <350-400 FPS on .2g, <1.2J.

No FPS, joule, or weight numbers given for any specific product
Prices quoted only for AAP-01 (~$100), Elite Force Glock (~$150), and spare magazines ($30-60); no price for the Hi-Capa
Scores are inferred from qualitative praise; Ed gave no numeric ratings
Accessories Ed discusses (Swiss Arms green gas, Matrix cleaning kit, EMG .25g BBs, Pit Viper glasses, CO2 revolver example) omitted due to 6-product cap
