No, they're just shooting on a DSLR which has about 8-10 stops of dynamic range. The background is overexposed because middle grey has to land on the talent. If evike wanted to spend upwards of 250,000 USD to get into ARRI Alexa territory, they could maybe get enough dynamic range and bit depth in order to bring the background down. They're doing the best they can with the equipment they've got and that to me is more important than the background being overexposed.
Glad Matt threw the FPG into his list. They are super cool guns and you don't see them that often. I haven't seen another one on the field other than mine in the last 6 years.
My favorite gas pistol I’ve owned was the TM MK23. I put an extended inner barrel all the way through the suppressor and turned it into a mini sniper rifle. It was shooting 450-460fps with .20g bbs and with heavy bb’s could reliably hit at ranges further than most AEGs (at the time anyway). My second favorite was my tm 226 with guarder metal body kit and third favorite was my western arms Wilson combat bobtail 1911.
love my Marui Mk23 but replacing the original mags was always a must. great package and don't ever think I would give it up. Ah when airsoft was young. cheers
I guess I picked the right pistol to start with. The hi capa reminded me a lot of the 2011 or 1911’s and I love the look! Also my buddy showed me his tricked out hi capa build and I just had to get one. It’s my favorite thing to work on and super easy to customize with no prior knowledge
That yellow spot in top right, thought something got on my screen so i rubbed it off. Then the scene changed so it looked like it was gone. I looked away to see where it came from and looked back and the stain was back, until i realized it was part of the video. Lol
My first airsoft pistol was a Western Arms Hi-cappa "Infinity" blowback. I loved it, but sadly hasn't worked for years and have never been able to find parts. Recently purchased a Novritsch SSP1 and can't wait for it to get here tomorrow!
Mk23 is best hands down. Modify the suppressor and it becomes so quiet that you can almost touch them with the muzzle when shooting and they still won’t hear it in a silent setting
@@opairsoft8100 Lmfao no it's not bro what are you smoking?😂😂I've had mine for 5 years and still shoots just the way it did when I took it out of the box the first time
TX Outlaw Airsoft cool, literally any other pistol would still be working in that time period and could be upgraded instead of getting stuck with a proprietary garbage gun that breaks hammers and has the worst hop up unit/hop up in pistols. Hell kwa/ksc beats kwc 1911 hop ups for range and consistency by miles
I got the TM hi-capa 4.3 dual stainless With upgraded complete hop-up (maple leaf), inner barrel (maple leaf jet barrel) and a short stroke recoil spring.. And 50 rounds mags
I always thought #6 was pretty cool. The problem is it starts with a high FPS on a fresh CO2 cartridge so most fields wouldn't let me play with it and so I never got one.
I love my Maruzen P-38 'Detachable', because it's basically an unlicensed U.N.C.L.E. Special. It looks cool out of the box with its weird little flash suppressor, and add the double length magazine and you've got a lot of gas and BBs to keep going. I just wish Maruzen had finished the project and made the shoulder stock and scope to turn it into a full carbine. I also like the TM FN Five SeveN. It's light, easy to handle, and has a huge magazine, like the real one. That means lots of gas and BBs, too.
It is of my firm belief that the Elite Force M1911 Tac. I have owned it for about a year now and this thing has yet to die. Not only that, it’s CO2 which has yet to underperform even in the low temps around me. In the spring and summer it does help cause it is a nice little cooler after foreign for a minute. The only problem I have had is mags. 1911 mags are commonly over $50 before shipping. If they were cheaper and the gun came with at least one more it would be the best Airsoft replica that fills you with freedom with each BB. Over all I love my 1911 it really give the user the feeling of freedom. Why? Cause ma stopping power is why.
My favorite gas pistol is the ShoGun KPS. Now its technically a custom gun but you could order them complete. WE TT-33 witch shoots beautifully, but then you add an underbarrel PPS shotgun.
My fav would prob so far be the 100th anniversary colt co2 gbb pistol Gave it away to a new player that was about to play indoor CQB with a spring powered M4 and get his tail kicked
I was finally able to find the "Robocop Gun" but for some reason I don't think Evike will ever carry it. Honestly fires amazingly well, but it's plastic like the Tokyo Marui so a couple hits from incoming fire and your slide can get damaged. Sadly just a plinker and wall decoration. Get a WE-Tech Biohazard Barry Burton Resident Evil M9 Custom GEN II if you want to haul around something with the same feel and firepower...
Matt I know you’re not going to read it, but rainbow8.com sells the robocop gun. The shipping is expensive and takes a while (it’s from overseas) but they’re a good site and they have some great and rare-er guns.
First pistol was the emg sai 2011 hi capa. Part after part starting breaking. After replacing a LOT of parts and switched from that DESTRUCTIVE power of Co2 to green gas it works great. Got the secutor arms 1911 since I wanted a kjw and they basically make the best internals on a budget for hi capas and 1911s. But it makes more sense to get the skinny 1911 mags. I can fire 23 plus rounds on a full fill and 28 plus for the hi capa? 5 shots?! For what, double the weight? Takes the same amount of time to load either one, whats 5 seconds to fill up some gas. Maybe if your running hj capas as a primary, I've just steered away from them as of late. Its a back up loaner pistol now, all its good for hahah. I hate proprietary anything really. Atleast the hi capas had that going for them lol
All Ksc system 7 gbb especially the ksc M93R, all Tokyo marui gbb especially the USP compact and full size, the new aap01, the new novritsch ssp1 and 18, but the two best gbb ever are the TM HI CAPA and desert eagle hard kick, or the way to reach your target at 50m with a full stock gbb out of the box! 😎 Indeed WA gbb are good, but more for collectors instead of gamers.
I have the KWC 1911 and I got a lemon. My trigger grouping broke from firing it only after a month. I think I’m gonna replace it with a Hi Capa or Glock
You can't beat the magic of a Tokyo Marui. Get the Y&P mags for it and maybe a TDC hop eventually, and you'll be golden. But even stock it's great. Just the TM mags are problematic.
ive hpa'd my Mk23 modified the surpressor and the mag hold's around 430 bb's extended the barrel so it goes half way up the surpressor its still very silent possibly more than stock
I used to hate the over use of hi-capas and thought they were annoying how common and flashy they were becoming...now I'm a sucker who owns two. Moral of the story is: we all change🤷🏽♂️
I had asked this question for the helm of reasoning but it never got answered, what is your anecdotal unscientific experience between yourself and your friends who have played for years... granted that all airsoft guns are airsoft guns, that are built to replicate the look and feel of hammer fired pistols more reliable than those of striker fired models? That is is one more prone to breakage than the other. This stems from a debate I had with a friend that got a TM Glock because "real Glocks are indestructible" compared to the TM Px4 I was using, his pistol broke and the slide kept popping off while my Px4 is still functional years later, is it that there is just more "meat" (plastic) at the stress points on the PX4 or is this just a case of one being a Monday gun from the factory and the other being a Wednesday gun? Edit: did Matt and George get their patch?
I thought he was against a white background but the camera is just way over exposed lol
The lighting does show he is in a studio
It's hard to show black stuff (like pistols) on photos/videos so my guess is that's why they overexposed it a bit.
Overexposed is an understatement, the car park has become the surface of the sun
@@hw7001 then is there a green screen right next to him that they changed to trees and buildings that are overexposed?
No, they're just shooting on a DSLR which has about 8-10 stops of dynamic range. The background is overexposed because middle grey has to land on the talent. If evike wanted to spend upwards of 250,000 USD to get into ARRI Alexa territory, they could maybe get enough dynamic range and bit depth in order to bring the background down.
They're doing the best they can with the equipment they've got and that to me is more important than the background being overexposed.
this takes me back to when i owned the magpul fpg with the shoulder holster. an absolute beast that astounded everyone around me
Why would you get rid of it?
Do this for every type of airsoft guns pls

Kinda surprised this wasn't just the TM hi capa 10 times.... LY Matt
I have the CZ po9 and i love it. Accurate, smooth and so much fun to shoot.
Which BB do you recommend to use in the P-09 (GreenGas)? 0.20, 0.23 or 0.25?
My KWA M93R's are my favorite for sure. That 3 round burst is too much fun!
love my Marui Mk23 but replacing the original mags was always a must. great package and don't ever think I would give it up. Ah when airsoft was young.

I like my CZ SP-01 shadow 👌. Never has it once failed on me 😊.

Mk23 is best hands down. Modify the suppressor and it becomes so quiet that you can almost touch them with the muzzle when shooting and they still won’t hear it in a silent setting
It also has near sniper rifle
Range and accuracy
But it's not a blowback so it can't be the best. The best stapler maybe :-P
Great choices Matt. I put the MK23 at #1, but I think you made great picks.
I knew the Elite Force 1911 would show up somehow on the list.
Bc its god tier
Logan Tenney um no...it’s trash
Dude what? I’ve heard it’s super reliable and popular! Honestly it’s just like it’s real life counterpart in the respect.

The p226 was my first airsoft gun bought in an Asian mall shop over 20 years ago and finally stolen last year. Worked the whole time haha!
A few of my favorite gas pistols would be the EMG sti tti JW3 Co2 hi capa, the elite force 1911, Kjw Excelerator hi capa, and the WE M22.
Oh hey, the MK-II is available online now. May as well get one while they're in stock since they're only 80 bucks. Maybe a spare magazine or two, too.
I demand a video on Matt's top 10 Springer pistols!
Give some love to ukarms NOW!
I got the TM hi-capa 4.3 dual stainless
With upgraded complete hop-up (maple leaf), inner barrel (maple leaf jet barrel) and a short stroke recoil spring.. And 50 rounds mags
For me, as far as out of the box performance, the mk-23 tops em all
I've just purchased a KWA Mark IV 1911 from Evike. It's not in this top ten but I still love it
Because of matt i never watch redwolf anymore 🤣🤣🤣
Why is that?
Cus tim , and bit boring ,
@@papadalbo1997 true
my favorite gas powered airsoft pistol is the glock 18.
TM 2011 hi-capa series is Matt's favorites
I always thought #6 was pretty cool. The problem is it starts with a high FPS on a fresh CO2 cartridge so most fields wouldn't let me play with it and so I never got one.
ask your fields if they are ok with you blowing off 5-6 rounds before using it in game. That should drop the fps to a tolerable level.
Took me 8 seconds to click. Love these videos.
Hi Capa
Glad to see a tokyo marui hi-capa on this list. Just bought an EBB tokyo marui hi-capa but plan on expanding with a GBB in the future
Wut is it with Matt and “this bad boy”
you should see airsoft mike. he says it way more lol
Because of matt I bought my first three airsoft guns at 12 years old
How old are you now
I love my Maruzen P-38 'Detachable', because it's basically an unlicensed U.N.C.L.E. Special. It looks cool out of the box with its weird little flash suppressor, and add the double length magazine and you've got a lot of gas and BBs to keep going.

Surprised no Tokyo marui glock 18c made the list. I got this gun and used it for 5 years. Still works amazingly.
Still have my Mk23 and fully upgraded internally to give me close to 150-200 fts of range. lol
It is of my firm belief that the Elite Force M1911 Tac. I have owned it for about a year now and this thing has yet to die.

Gave it away to a new player that was about to play indoor CQB with a spring powered M4 and get his tail kicked
My 2 fav pistols (I like them both equally) are the KWA m9a1 and the TM hi-caps 5.1 gold match
My eye sores for looking at the flash bang behind him, but this is a good review!
The longer this video went on without seeing the TM Mk.23, the more and more worried I was it wouldn't be on this list. Absolutely deserves its place.
It is a very good pistol, but it has a very niche usage tbh. It's primarily a sniper pistol and doesn't really function as a quick response pistol.
@@mrnuutnuut4314 It's other niche use is as a body building tool for your index finger. That trigger pull is rough compared to other pistols.
@@CTCParadox That's true
Hey, I know it’s an old thread but I gotta ask! My local airsoft store has one for sale. The whole kit. For only $120-$180. Should I buy it? 🤔
@@Callsign_Kishin That's more or less the normal going rate for the TM Mk.23, so if its something you're interested in, go for it!
The last bonus I used to have a green toy version of.
I called his #1 pick even manufacturer I’m so dead😂
I actually have a old 8mm 44 automag and the Magpul fpg, however always had cycling issues with rhe fpg.
1.irl it’s an fmg9
2.cool,I’d like to hear more :D
My favorites are the EMG sti tti JW3 Co2 hi capa KWC C02 1911, WE M22, Ruger Mk 2, ASG Dan Wesson, and a SAI G34 that’s my friends.
I too put my eye protection on every time I hold an airsoft gun ;)
Had a feeling the Hi-capa would be up there. Im a little supprised the KWA 1911s werent on there. (mkI-mkIV)
HK45 🔥🔥
I love the vp9,p30l (irl),p30.
Damn, no AAP-01?? I'm surprised it wasn't even mentioned
Thanks Matt... Please do "another top 10 pistols".... Hopefully I see mine favorites there... Like the samurai edges or the FN 5-7...
But there can be only 10 top 10 pistols, I don't understand what you want. Like a top 20?
My top gun would be the automatic cybergun gold desert eagle, then the glock 18c…damn the best 2 gbb guns
the MK23 is pretty easy to find. The issue is the price for the TM compared to the knockoffs.
had the robocop gun I picked up at a garage sale, but sadly it was lost in a move cause my friend forgot the box it was in on the street 😢
We're sorry for your loss
Sig M17 with red dot is my #1
Holy camera exposure Batman

Good luck hitting anything over 100 feet with it

They are very fun to shoot, but I would never use one in game
No1 is the Shadow 2 and No2 is the Shadow 1.
i have actually never seen a hi capa on my field its just glock 1911 and other beautis
my guess is an 2011/hicapa, maybe the DVC?
I’m surprised that the novritsch SSP1 didn’t even make the honorable mentions
If regular KJW hi cap didn't make the honorable mentions, then neither should SuperSmallPenis1cm
