EMG / Salient Arms BLU Standard Gas Blowback Pistol in Blue

The EMG / Salient Arms BLU Standard GBB Pistol in blue isn’t just another flashy sidearm—it’s a seriously dialled-in piece of kit that blends tactical flair with real-deal handling. Fully licensed by Salient Arms International and EMG, this airsoft pistol mirrors the iconic real-steel BLU upgrade kit in all the right ways. You’re getting a full-metal gas blowback experience, complete with a CNC-machined aluminum slide featuring weight-saving ports and crisp front and rear serrations. Slide manipulations feel purposeful, not just functional—and the recoil kick has enough punch to keep your grin going between shots.

Out of the box, this GBB pistol chrono’s around 320 FPS with green gas—ideal for most UK skirmish fields. The 93 mm inner barrel and gear-adjustable HOP-up system give you the edge when it comes to precision, whether you're holding tight corners in CQB or laying down covering shots in woodland. The fluted outer barrel isn’t just for looks either—it’s threaded 11 mm CW with a 14 mm CCW adapter included, so adding a suppressor or tracer is quick work. Pair that with the fiber-optic front sight and anti-glare rear, and your sight picture stays clean in all light conditions.

The frame tells its own story. Made from high-strength polymer with aggressive stippling, the grip locks into your palm even in gloves or during sweaty summer matches. Salient's undercut trigger guard invites a higher grip—better control, less muzzle rise. Controls are spot on too: an extended mag release sits within easy reach, the flat Gen4 trigger has a defined wall and satisfying reset, and the overall control layout mimics a Gen4 Glock, making transitions feel familiar for most players.

This pistol doesn’t just look the part—it plays it too. Internally, it's based on the WE/Armorer Works EU17 system, meaning upgrades and replacement parts are plentiful. That means tighter barrels, stiffer recoil springs, or competition-grade nozzles are all within reach if you fancy tweaking it to your own spec. But make no mistake, it runs like a dream out of the box. The slide cycles fast, recoil is snappy thanks to the beefy blowback unit, and trigger response is instant. It walks that fine line between realism and skirmish-ready performance—and does it with style.

From a functionality standpoint, the 20 mm Picatinny rail under the barrel is ready for torches or lasers—no adapter faff needed. The included thread protector screws on solidly, and the included adapter brings compatibility with most 14 mm CCW devices. That means no extra purchases just to get your setup how you like it. The magazine fits 25 rounds and is weighted for realism, with a satisfying clunk when you slap it in. And if you're running CO2 mags or sticking with green gas, the platform handles both with ease—thanks to its durable internal architecture.

In terms of skirmish application, the BLU works brilliantly as a primary in tight environments or as a reliable sidearm for support players. Its two-stage blowback system gives you that cinematic recoil without burning through gas too quickly, and the tactile feedback on each shot means no second-guessing when it counts. From CQB arenas to full-day MilSims, this GBB pistol holds its own in both performance and presence.

If you want a sidearm that feels just as good to fire as it looks in the holster—this one’s hard to beat. It’s a pistol that gives you more than just backup firepower; it’s a shooter’s gun with real-world handling and a flair that stands out on the field. Trust us—rack the slide once, and you’ll understand.
