In Conclusion
Aside from the Mentioned guns above John Wick uses a variety of other firearms throughout the franchise. In the first movie, he uses a Heckler & Koch P30L and a SIG-Sauer P226. In "John Wick: Chapter 2," he also uses a Benelli M4 shotgun . These firearms are not as prominently featured guns, but they still play a crucial role in the action-packed scenes of the franchise. Sadly some of the guns in the movie don’t have airsoft versions yet, so we can only dream for now. Although if you really do want to live out your john wick shotgun fantasies then the APS CAM 870 SAI MK III or the maruzen M1100 might be the shotguns for you. As they allows for some cool realistic reloads and with some custom work they can look very much in the style of John Wick.
The airsoft versions of the John Wick guns are highly sought after by fans of the franchise and airsoft enthusiasts alike. The TTI Pit Viper, TTI Glock 34, and Combat Master are three of the most iconic firearms used by John Wick, and their airsoft versions are faithful replicas that capture the essence of the originals. From the Pit Viper's sleek design to the Combat Master's customizations, these firearms are not only visually striking but also reliable and deadly in the hands of skilled airsoft players. As the franchise continues with "John Wick 4" and beyond, it will be exciting to see what new firearms will be added to John Wick's arsenal and how they will be recreated in the world of airsoft.
