KWC MKV PM Co2 Pistol (Blowback - Black)

Simple, Tough, and Period-Correct

At OnlyBBGuns, we love a RIF with a bit of history, and it doesn't get more iconic than the Makarov. This KWC version is built to be a workhorse. Ditching the plastic frames of modern pistols, it features an all-metal slide and body, giving it a realistic 900g heft that feels rock-solid in your hand. The only thing not metal are the brown polymer grips—a direct nod to the classic "Bakelite" look of the original 1950s service pistol.

Hard-Hitting CO2 Performance

Unlike Green Gas pistols that can struggle when the British weather turns cold, the Makarov runs on a 12g CO2 capsule. This gives it a consistent 350-370 FPS and a crisp, rapid blowback cycle that locks open when you're out of BBs. It’s also incredibly gas-efficient; you can expect to get through multiple magazines before needing to swap out the CO2 bulb.

Authentic Manual of Arms

KWC has kept the details honest. You get a functional hammer, a slide-mounted safety that actually works, and the traditional European bottom-latch magazine release. There’s even a lanyard loop at the base of the grip—essential for making sure your sidearm doesn't go missing during a hectic crawl through the woods.

The Perfect Backup

Because it's so compact, the Makarov is the ideal secondary weapon. It won't get in the way of your primary rifle, but it has the power to hold its own if you get caught in a corner. If you’re building an OpFor kit or just want a pistol that’s simple, rugged, and uniquely styled, the KWC Makarov is the "AK of pistols."

Want to buy a realistic-looking black airsoft gun (RIF) from onlyBBguns? Because these guns look so real, UK law (the VCRA Act) requires you to have a valid reason, called a "defence," to own one. Essentially, you need to prove you're buying it for airsoft skirmishing (the sport itself), not for any other purpose.

Here's how you can demonstrate your defence to onlyBBguns and buy a black airsoft gun:

1. Show proof of skirmishing: Gather evidence like photos and videos from airsoft games you've participated in. These should clearly show you actively involved in skirmishing, demonstrating your intent to use the gun for the sport.
2. Become a registered skirmisher: The easiest way to prove your defence is by joining a recognized airsoft association and getting a membership card. The most common one in the UK is UKARA. This registration confirms you're a legitimate airsoft player.

Don't have either of those? No problem! You can still buy the airsoft gun. onlyBBguns can paint it in a two-tone colour scheme. This means part of the gun will be sprayed a bright, non-realistic colour. This makes the gun a "non-realistic imitation firearm" and avoids the restrictions of the VCRA Act. Anyone over 18 can legally buy a two-tone airsoft gun.
