A faithful Gen 5 service pistol replica

The E&C G17 Gen 5 is a well-priced gas blowback pistol modelled on the fifth generation G17 service pistol, here in a two tone training weapon blue (TWB) finish. A metal top slide over a polymer body gives it a solid feel, and the high kick blowback makes it a genuinely fun sidearm to shoot.

Site-friendly power

Running on green gas, it fires 6mm BBs at roughly 270 to 320 FPS on 0.20g, keeping it legal at most UK skirmish sites for both CQB and field play. An adjustable hop-up lets you dial in your point of aim, and it has been tested reliable on Nuprol 2.0 and 3.0 gas.

Two tone exempt

The TWB finish is VCRA exempt, so no UKARA is needed to buy it, making it a great choice for newcomers. Browse more sidearms in our airsoft range to build out your loadout.

Set up your way

Two interchangeable back straps let you tailor the grip, while a 20mm rail takes lights and lasers. Magazines are EU-series compatible, so spares are easy to source. Keep it fed with quality green gas and BBs.

Frequently asked questions

Does the TWB version need UKARA?

No. TWB stands for training weapon blue, a two tone finish that is VCRA exempt. You can buy it without a UKARA registration or defence, as the blue clearly marks it as an airsoft gun.

What gas does it run on?

The pistol uses green gas, held in the drop-in EU-series magazine. It has been tested happily on gases such as Nuprol 2.0 and 3.0, with warmer temperatures giving a snappier slide.

How powerful is it?

Out of the box it produces roughly 270 to 320 FPS on 0.20g BBs, which keeps it site-friendly for both CQB and outdoor field games. Always chrono at your site before play.

Are the magazines easy to find?

Yes. It takes common EU-series magazines, so spare mags are widely available. The included magazine holds around 20 rounds of 6mm BB.

Can I adjust the grip?

Yes. It comes with two interchangeable back straps so you can tune the grip to your hand size, and an adjustable hop-up lets you fine-tune range and accuracy.
