Galaxy G2 Metal BB Gun in Blue

Compact, solid and surprisingly punchy for its size, the Galaxy G2 is a pocket-friendly airsoft pistol that gives you proper metal feel without the complexity of gas systems. Built around a zinc-alloy shell with comfortable textured black grip panels, the G2 is a sensible choice for backyard plinking, supervised younger shooters or anyone who wants a low-maintenance, no-fuss springer that still hits harder than its size suggests.

Despite measuring only about 160mm overall, the G2 carries a reassuring weight (around 350g) and a full-metal slide and outer frame that make it feel more substantial than many micro pistols. Operation is dead simple: rack the slide to cock the internal spring, load the removable magazine and squeeze the trigger. No gas, no batteries — just the classic spring rhythm that keeps maintenance easy and running costs negligible.

Performance is the standout for this size class. On test the G2 delivered roughly 235 fps using 0.12g BBs, which is lively for a compact spring pistol and makes it perfectly capable for short-range target work and garden plinking. You can experiment with heavier 0.20g BBs if you see pellets lifting or want crisper groups at slightly lower muzzle velocity, but the gun is optimised around 0.12g for the best balance of speed and trajectory.

Ergonomically the G2 is aimed at smaller hands — and that’s intentional. The compact grip and short reach suit younger players or anyone who wants a genuinely pocketable sidearm replica. That said, larger hands can still get a usable hold on it; the textured panels help keep the pistol steady during follow-through. There’s no manual safety on this model, so safe handling and supervision are essential, especially with less experienced users.

Feeding is via a low-cap magazine that holds around 12 rounds (plus one in the chamber if you like), released with a push-button mag catch. The magazine is plastic to keep weight and cost down, but it seats reliably and drops free cleanly for quick reloads. Fixed front and rear sights, slide serrations and a positive magazine release all mimic real-world controls and make the G2 a credible training tool or prop.

Because it’s a springer, the G2 is remarkably forgiving — fewer fragile parts than gas or electric guns means it’s durable and very low maintenance. That makes it an ideal first metal pistol for supervised youngsters, a handy plinker for the garden, or a realistic yet affordable addition to a collection. Remember it’s not designed for skirmishing: think target practice, training, and safe fun rather than full-on field use.

Cosmetically the factory blue finish looks smart and the metal construction gives the G2 a realistic presence that stands out next to cheap plastic minis. The package is straightforward — pistol, magazine and a small starter pack of BBs — so you can be plinking in minutes. For anyone after an inexpensive, reliable spring pistol that punches above its weight, the Galaxy G2 is a very sensible option.
