Action Army AAP01C "Shinobi" Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol - Black

The Action Army AAP01C "Shinobi" is a standout addition to the world of airsoft pistols, offering a perfect blend of stealthy aesthetics, responsive performance, and modular versatility. Built for airsofters who thrive in fast-paced CQB environments or tight corners of urban skirmish fields, this gas blowback (GBB) pistol is deceptively compact, yet undeniably fierce. Whether you're side-arming for backup or running it as your primary in a tight indoor setup, the "Shinobi" lives up to its name—silent, sharp, and precise.

At just 700 grams, the AAP01C’s featherlight feel comes courtesy of its durable full-polymer frame. This makes it a joy to wield during extended games or high-mobility loadouts. The aggressive lines and angular silhouette lend it a futuristic vibe, but this isn’t all show. From the integrated top and bottom rails for optics and lights to the functional built-in compensator at the muzzle, every design choice adds purpose to its form. That compensator isn’t just a visual flourish—it comes pre-threaded with a 14mm CCW, making suppressor attachment effortless for players looking to keep things quiet or push a specific aesthetic.

Performance-wise, this airsoft gun doesn’t disappoint. You’ve got the choice of semi-automatic for tight trigger discipline, or full-auto for when it all kicks off and you need to rain BBs. The selector switch is sneakily tucked beneath the bolt carrier and easily accessed mid-match. And thanks to ambidextrous controls—including a reversible mag release and mirrored safety—the "Shinobi" adapts comfortably to both righties and lefties without compromise.

Action Army has made sure the internals keep pace with its slick exterior. The AAP01C is Tokyo Marui (TM) compatible, which means your upgrade path is wide open. The hop-up unit is fully adjustable and pairs well with the included 84mm inner barrel, giving it snappy accuracy out of the box. The pistol comes with a 22-round green gas magazine, but it's also compatible with G-series mags from WE, KJW, and VFC—so existing GBB pistol users won't need to re-invest in a whole new mag setup.

Its velocity clocks in at a respectable 295 FPS with 0.20g BBs, making it CQB-ready and legal at most indoor sites across the UK. That 0.81-joule output strikes a solid balance between power and control, and the consistent blowback adds that satisfying tactile feedback with every shot. The blowback system is crisp, responsive, and highly gas-efficient—meaning you can count on it to keep performing round after round.

For those who care about the finer details, the AAP01C features a unique serial number etched into the frame—a nice touch for collectors or skirmishers who want to add a bit of identity to their loadout. The double-action trigger enhances realism, while the gun’s balance and ergonomics ensure comfort even during long stints of gameplay. It’s not just a great backup—it’s a genuinely competent primary for CQB missions.

If you're looking for a pistol that bridges the gap between innovative design and reliable performance, the AAP01C "Shinobi" is worth serious consideration. It feels fresh, functional, and just plain fun to shoot. Whether you're upgrading from a spring sidearm or expanding your GBB arsenal, this one’s an exciting addition to any kitbag.
