IS TOKYO MARUI GOOD?
Tokyo Marui is the best brand in Airsoft. For those who also dabble in radio controlled model, Tokyo Marui is the Tamiya of the Airsoft world, leading the world in innovation and technology.Read more...
While other brands have come up with innovations of their own, Tokyo Marui airsoft guns make major breakthroughs and have continued to do so in many areas. We explain the different kinds of airsoft guns that Tokyo Marui has to offer.
Tokyo Marui Spring Pistol
Tokyo Marui makes some of the best spring pistols around thanks to their passionate pursuit of realism even on an affordable airsoft gun. Despite being full plastic, Tokyo Marui spring pistols look quite realistic and offer great value for money, with good power and range. While a little light to hold in your hand, they offer great performance for shooting at home. You cock the slide each time before you shoot.
Tokyo Marui EBB Pistol
If you don’t want to have to cock the slide every time to shoot on a spring pistol, the Electric Blowback Pistol is one step up and offers semi-auto shooting. A small gearbox inside the gun that is powered by AAA batteries stored inside the pistol grip will wind up the spring and shoot for you everytime you pull the trigger, so you don’t have to cock the gun yourself. EBB pistols are for casual shooting and are relatively low power, coming in at less than a spring pistol. If you want an electric pistol that you can actually skirmish with, consider an AEP pistol.
Tokyo Marui Automatic Electric Pistol (AEP)
Tokyo Marui invented the Tokyo Marui AEP, or Automatic Electric Pistol, which minimizes the AEG gearbox concept into a pistol body. Our online store classifies them under Electric Airsoft Pistols, which also includes the much cheaper and lower powered EBBs.
Tokyo Marui Non Blowback Pistol (NBB)
While GBB pistols are by far the most popular, Tokyo Marui offers a few non-blowback pistols where the slide is fixed and does not cycle. The benefits of NBB pistols is much greater gas efficiency, much quieter, and more power and accuracy. The Tokyo Marui MK23 SOCOM fixed slide full set gas pistol is extremely popular for players wanting stealth, and it’s high power and amazing range even allows players to snipe with it. Yes, Tokyo Marui has single-handedly made sniping with a pistol possible. Due to the limited number of NBB pistols in Airsoft, we classify NBB pistols together in the Gas Airsoft Pistol category.
Tokyo Marui Gas Blowback Pistol (GBB)
Tokyo Marui has led with their gas blowback pistol design since the 2000’s that many pistols today are based on. In particular, the Tokyo Marui Hi Capa 5.1 Gold Match is one of the most popular airsoft pistols in the world. The Tokyo Marui Desert Eagle, the Tokyo Marui MK23, Tokyo Marui P226, Tokyo Marui Hi Capa 4.3, Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 Stainless GBB pistol, Tokyo Marui 1911, Tokyo Marui Vorpal Bunny, the full auto Tokyo Marui Xtreme 45 and the Tokyo Marui Biohazard Resident Evil Samurai Edge Albert.W.Model 1 are just a few of the most popular airsoft pistols from Tokyo Marui.
Tokyo Marui Revolvers
A very limited range of Tokyo Marui revolvers is available, although admittedly this is not their focus and the options are rather basic. If you are looking for a airsoft revolver, then the best options are from Tanaka, WinGun, ASG, Marushin, and BO Manufacture. If money is no object, consider the ultra high end Airsoft Surgeon revolvers.
Tokyo Marui Automatic Electric Guns (AEG)
The company has defined industry standards since the birth of the Electric gun (AEG) in the mid 1980’s. The term AEG actually refers to AEG rifles or AEG submachine guns (SMG) in particular and is not used to describe their pistols or shotguns, even though there are electric versions of those as well. Their AEG line has continued to evolve into present day with the Tokyo Marui Next Generation Recoil Shock system that generates recoil in an electric gun, including the popular Tokyo Marui HK416 Delta Black, the limited edition collectible generally referred to as the Tokyo Marui Pink P90, the entire collection of the Tokyo Marui M4 AEG rifle, Tokyo Marui SCAR AEG rifle, and the Tokyo Marui AK AEG rifles.
Tokyo Marui Shotguns
They also lead the way in innovation for the airsoft shotgun category, and have long set the standard with their pump action shotguns like the Tokyo Marui SPAS 12 and the Tokyo Marui M3 Benelli. Even more impressive are their gas powered shotguns like the Tokyo Marui KSG and Tokyo Marui M870, and their mind blowing electric shotguns including the Tokyo Marui AA12 and Tokyo Marui SGR-12 which can pump out 6 BBs per trigger pull in full auto. Tokyo Marui is the only company to make electric full auto shotguns.
Tokyo Marui Sniper
Tokyo Marui VSR 10 is no doubt the gold standard by which all airsoft sniper rifles are measured against, and while high performance manufacturers like Silverback and Novritsch make better sniper rifles for a much higher price, you cannot get better value for your money with a basic VSR 10 or a more premium Tokyo Marui VSR 10 G Spec that you have the option of upgrading to higher performance levels as your budget allows. The Tokyo Marui M40A5 is the premium bolt action option.
Tokyo Marui Gas Blowback Rifle (GBBR)
And finally, Tokyo Marui MWS system continues to lead the gas blowback rifle sector with its solid recoil, power consistency and efficiency. The Tokyo Marui M4A1 MWS GBBR gas blowback rifle competes head-on with high performance gas blowback rifles from GHK and VFC, perhaps edging out the two latter brands in terms of cold weather performance but losing out a bit on field-stripping realism. The Tokyo Marui MK18 MOD 1 GBB rifle is very popular.
Other Facts About Tokyo Marui
Tokyo Marui is best known for their accuracy, thanks for an amazing hop up unit and hop up bucking. The super materials used and the precision fittings makes their accuracy difficult to match by other brands in the same price category. Tokyo Marui guns are reliable and excellent performers, with top build quality because they are completely made in Japan. However, this also introduces two limitations to Tokyo Marui airsoft guns.
Firstly, Japanese law prohibits the sale of full metal airsoft pistols so Tokyo Marui airsoft pistols are primarily plastic. The get-around for this is a huge aftermarket of metal slides that you can upgrade and change out if you prefer metal. Having said that, Tokyo Marui uses very high quality plastic that is sometimes laced with metal to offer a heavier feel. If having a metal gun is important to you, then plan on upgrading exterior parts. Some people ask if they should just get a full metal gun from another brand instead. We believe that the internal engine of the gun is much more important for accuracy and reliability, so we always recommend players who are willing to tinker and upgrade to get a Tokyo Marui first, and then upgrade parts from there over time. It is also a rewarding journey to see how each upgrade part can elevate the performance of your gun. Buying a full metal gun, which may often be simply die-cast pot metal, from another brand which has infeior internals can leave you ending up with a full metal brick that doesn’t do any good on the field. Luckily, the Japanese legal plastic requirement does not apply to rifles, which are allowed to be made in full metal.
The second shortcoming is Japan’s legal power limits of 0.98joules (around 300fps using 0.2g BBs). While about average for an airsoft pistol, this is low by most standards for airsoft rifles and snipers. The good news is upgrading power on electric rifles and spring powered sniper rifles is extremely easy, and we have a vast library of parts to make it interesting.
In summary, Tokyo Marui is really good. It is the brand with the most models on offer, and enjoys the largest number of aftermarket upgrade parts. If you are looking to get an airsoft gun that you can tinker with and grow with your abilities, then Tokyo Marui is one of the main brands you should consider.
HOW TO UPGRADE A TOKYO MARUI PISTOL?
If you are interested in upgrading your airsoft gun, then starting with a Tokyo Marui gun is the best choice. Because Tokyo Marui is the brand that enjoys the largest aftermarket upgrade parts library of any brand. For upgrading pistols, we would recommend starting with installing a more high quality precision inner barrel for tighter air seal.Read more...
For barrels, we love da Vinci of Japan, which is produced by the head engineer who used to make the legendary PDI inner barrels. While the Tokyo Marui hop up bucking is already very good quality, slight gains in distance can be achieved by upgrading the hop up bucking. For hop up, we like A Plus Airsoft and Maple Leaf. A Plus Airsoft offers the integrated hop up rubber with precision barrel for Tokyo Marui pistols that is an interesting concept and delivers superior range. Other things to consider are the gas nozzle which delivers air flow to the BB. Upgrading to a better nozzle with larger air flow can increase the power of your pistol. But there is a limit on how powerful Tokyo Marui gas blowback pistols can be upgraded, and moving from the factory 300fps to a 340fps - 350fps is already quite a big jump. A longer inner barrel will make the best gains since it would provide more opportunity for the BB to accelerate before it leaves the gun. Some players install a threaded outer barrel on their pistol and attach a mock suppressor, and then install a very long inner barrel that extends past the outer barrel and all the way out to the end of the mock suppressor. This trick can usually generate some significant power gains.
Check out performance parts from Nineball airsoft parts, COWCOW Technology airsoft parts, Airsoft Masterpiece airsoft parts, da Vinci precision airsoft inner barrels, Dynamic Precision airsoft parts, Edge airsoft parts, Guarder, Guns Modify, and Maple Leaf. If you want to upgrade metal body components, then check out Gunsmith Bros airsoft parts. We’ve only listed the most notable brands with the larger library of parts, but there are numerous brands on our website that offer unique parts that we have not mentioned above.
Unfortunately there are very limited upgrade parts available for spring pistols, EBB pistols or AEP pistols. Tokyo Marui’s gas pistol range enjoys the most upgrade potential by far.
Disclaimer: Before upgrading your gun, be sure to check local laws to ensure you do not exceed regulated power limits. In some countries, upgrading you airsoft gun beyond legal limits would make you criminally liable for possession of a firearm. We do not recommend or support upgrading any airsoft gun beyond legal limits, and will not be held liable for any crinimal activity from such acts. We provide information to readers on how to upgrade airsoft guns within the legal limit.
WHERE TO BUY TOKYO MARUI?
We are the biggest online airsoft shop for Tokyo Marui in the world, and we carry the entire line of Tokyo Marui airsoft guns here. We carry the full line of products that you see within the Tokyo Marui catalog on the Tokyo Marui website, which does not offer direct sales to customers.Read more...
We ship Tokyo Marui airsoft guns internationally anywhere in the world. You can use our shopping filter function to find a Tokyo Marui pistol, rifle, sniper, shotgun and our large library of Tokyo Marui replacement parts, including hard to find Tokyo Marui MWS parts. However, please note that due to licensing restrictions, all Tokyo Marui Glocks, certain Tokyo Marui H&K guns, and several other models cannot be sold outside of Japan.
WHERE TO BUY TOKYO GLOCK 17?
Some products made by Tokyo Marui are not licensed for sale outside of Japan, and the Tokyo Marui Glock 17 is one such example where the trademarks on the gun are not officially licensed for sale anywhere else in the world.Read more...
While Tokyo Marui’s Glock 17 is very high quality, the official licensed Glock airsoft pistols from Umarex offer comparable performance with a lot more features and realism. One thing to note is that the Tokyo Marui Glock 17 is actually wider than the real Glock 17 pistol, with slight differences in dimensions that make it unusable in a real Glock 17 holster. By contrast, the officially licensed Umarex Glock 17 airsoft pistols are correctly sized and do fit real Glock 17 holsters and accessories. Umarex Glock pistols manufactured by VFC are also cross compatible with Tokyo Marui Glock magazines in many cases.
If you are interested in a Glock 17 airsoft pistol, then consider the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 3 airsoft pistol made by GHK. It is the most realistic Glock 17 Airsoft pistol available.
HOW MUCH DO TOKYO MARUI AIRSOFT GUNS COST?
The price of Tokyo Marui airsoft guns can vary, starting with spring and electric powered airsoft pistols starting well below $50. Tokyo Marui offers a BOYS line of scaled down electric rifles to pre-teen shooters for under $100.Read more...
Moving up beyond the $100 mark will open you up to the vast library of gas blowback pistols, which offer the most bang for the buck. Engaging and fun, gas blowback pistols will need to run on HFC134a or Green Gas.
If you’re looking for a sniper rifle, then that will start at around $160 onwards. Tokyo Marui AEG rifles will cost more than $200, with the more advanced Next Generation Recoil Shock (NGRS) series costing more than $400. If you are interested in a gas blowback rifle, then the Tokyo Marui MWS (ZET System) GBBR rifles will cost in excess of $500. Their impressive line of electric shotguns is also in this price range.
If budget is no issue, then consider the range topping Tokyo Marui MK46 MOD 0 AEG machine gun.
No matter what your budget is, Tokyo Marui has an airsoft gun for you. But the true joy of owning a Tokyo Marui gun, especially the electric rifles, gas pistols, and spring powered snipers, is their endless upgrade options offered by various third party brands. Browse our airsoft upgrades section and use the shopping filters to find parts that fit your particular gun.
Tokyo Marui is one of the most well-known brands in the airsoft industry. Manufacturer of numerous airsoft platforms, Tokyo Marui upholds a reputation for accuracy, reliability, and superior quality.
RedWolf sells a wide selection of Tokyo Marui airsoft guns, accessories, upgrades, and replacement parts to keep your Tokyo Marui build running strong.
What Is Tokyo Marui?
Tokyo Marui holds the title of undisputed leader in the airsoft industry. The Japanese manufacturer of a vast selection of airsoft guns is known for accurate and reliable airsoft platforms that benefit superbly from innovation and quality engineering.
Much of the groundbreaking airsoft technology comes from Tokyo Marui, whether it’s in original parts or within a robust aftermarket.
Many beginners choose a Tokyo Marui platform because they’re reliable and perform well immediately. It’s easy to stick with one Tokyo Marui airsoft replica and grow with it as you play more games and develop your strategy.
Although most Tokyo Marui airsoft guns feature superior materials and precision fittings — like their hop-up units and hop-upbuckings that achieve the accuracy the brand is known for — those who prefer to tinker can typically find multiple upgrade parts in the aftermarket scene.
One thing to note about Tokyo Marui: Japanese law restricts the building of airsoft guns, which is why Tokyo Marui doesn’t sell full-metal OEM airsoft platforms. However, there are plenty of metal aftermarket upgrade parts available, and the metal restriction doesn’t apply to rifles.
Japanese laws also limit power to 0.98 joules — around 300 feet per second (FPS) using a 0.2 gram BB — which isn’t a problem for airsoft pistols but can result in low-power airsoft rifles.
What Are the Main Types of Tokyo Marui Airsoft Guns?
Tokyo Marui manufactures electric-powered, gas-powered, and spring-poweredairsoft replicas, ranging from pistols, rifles, and shotguns to submachine guns (SMGs) and airsoftsniper rifles. Check out the various types of Tokyo Marui airsoft guns below and visit RedWolf to explore our inventory and pick out the best platform for your style of airsoft gameplay.
Tokyo Marui Spring Pistol
Spring pistols may get a bad rap for field performance, but they’re a great introduction to airsoft, especially if you purchase a Tokyo Marui model.
The brand focuses on realism, affordability, and value in its spring pistol lineup, which includes the Tokyo Marui P7M13 Spring Airsoft Pistol and the Tokyo Marui AUTOMAG III Spring Airsoft Pistol. These airsoft spring pistols are entirely plastic, making them lightweight, but they also achieve respectable power ratings and range.
Tokyo Marui spring pistols are a great choice if you want to practice shooting at home. You have to cock the slide each time you want to shoot — as you do with any spring-powered airsoft replica — but these pistols are super beginner-friendly.
Tokyo Marui EBB Pistol
Electric blowback (EBB) pistols are one step up from spring pistols in terms of function. Similar to gas blowback (GBB) pistols, these semi-automatic electric variants have functioning slides that move backward when you shoot.
Instead of having to cock the spring manually, the electric pistol does all the work for you with a small gearbox located inside the pistol grip that runs off AAA batteries.
The Tokyo Marui Centimeter Master EBB Airsoft Pistol, Tokyo Marui Combat Delta EBB Airsoft Pistol, and Tokyo Marui Mac11 EBB Airsoft Pistol are viable EBB pistols ready for any airsoft game.
Some players prefer the Tokyo MaruiDesert Eagle EBB Airsoft Pistol instead. However, the automatic electric pistol (AEP) is the next step up if you want more power.
Tokyo Marui AEP
The Tokyo Marui Hi Capa E Full-Semi Auto AEPAirsoft Pistol (Fixed Slide, Without Battery & Charger) represents the quintessential AEP. The internal components on these Tokyo Marui replicas are more robust, including a stiffer main spring.
The gearbox fits into the pistol body and runs off a rechargeable lipo battery. AEPs are more consistent in cold weather compared to GBB pistols but not necessarily as popular.
Tokyo Marui NBB
Gas pistols from Tokyo Marui can either be GBB or non-blowback (NBB). For example, the Tokyo Marui MK23 AirsoftSOCOM Fixed Slide Full Set Green Gas Pistol features a fixed slide, which won’t cycle when you fire the pistol. NBB pistols — including Tokyo Marui replicas — are known for being quiet, accurate, efficient, and powerful.
Tokyo Marui GBB
The GBB pistol is by far one of Tokyo Marui's more popular segments.
Available platforms include everything from Hi-Capa models to customized pistols inspired by popular culture:
- Tokyo MaruiColt 1911 Government Series 70 Nickel Finish GBBAirsoft Pistol
- Tokyo Marui Vorpal Bunny AM.45 Llenn Version Green GasAirsoft Pistol (Gun Gale Online)
- Tokyo Marui Hi Capa 5.1Gold MatchGreen GasAirsoft Pistol
- Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa Xtreme .45 GBBAirsoft Pistol (Auto Only)
- Tokyo Marui Biohazard Samurai Edge Std. Model (Hi-Grade Type) GBBAirsoft Pistol
- Tokyo Marui Hi Capa 4.3Green GasAirsoft Pistol
- Tokyo Marui Hi Capa 5.1 Stainless Green GasAirsoft Pistol
These gas blowback pistols perform several functions on the airsoft field, from acting as your primary weapon to supporting your airsoft rifle, SMG, or airsoftsniper rifle as a sidearm.
Many of the Tokyo Marui pistol platforms — especially the Hi-Capa models — benefit from vast aftermarket support, so you can customize them as you please.
Tokyo Marui Revolvers
Although this Japanese brand produces a limited range of revolvers, the ones it does uphold its reputation for accuracy, realism, and performance. The Tokyo Marui SAA.45 Civilian 4.75-inch Spring Revolver and Tokyo Marui Python PPC Custom Airsoft Spring Revolver 6-inch are two of the most common Tokyo Maruirevolvers.
Tokyo Marui AEG
Automatic electric guns (AEGs) are similar to AEPs in that they use electronics to fire the airsoft gun instead of manual action, as with a spring-powered airsoft gun. AEGs are typically rifles or SMGs, not pistols or shotguns.
Here are a few examples of Tokyo MaruiAEGs:
- Tokyo Marui AK47 AirsoftAEG Rifle
- Tokyo Marui AUG (High Cycle) AirsoftAEG Rifle - TAN
- Tokyo Marui P90 Ver.LLENN (Gun Gale Online) AirsoftAEG
- Tokyo Marui PS90 High Cycle AEGAirsoft Rifle - OD
- Tokyo Marui MP5 and M4
As you can see from the list above, many of the airsoft replicas Tokyo Marui produces as AEGs come from popular real-steel firearms. Tokyo Marui fits its AEG lineup with the Next Generation Recoil Shock system, which produces realistic recoil.
Tokyo Marui Shotguns
Gas-powered and electric-powered shotguns from Tokyo Marui are a blast to shoot. They perform well in close-quarters battle (CQB) scenarios.
Popular Tokyo Marui shotgun models include the following:
- Tokyo Marui AA12 AEGAirsoft Shotgun
- Tokyo Marui SGR-12 Electric Airsoft Shotgun
- Tokyo Marui M3 Shorty Spring Airsoft Shotgun
- Tokyo Marui SPAS 12 Spring Airsoft Shotgun (Stockless Version)
- Tokyo Marui KSG Gas Airsoft Shotgun
- Tokyo MaruiSAIGA 12K Gas Blow Back Shotgun
Note that Tokyo Marui is one of, if not the only, airsoft manufacturer that produces electric full-automatic shotguns.
Tokyo Marui Sniper Rifles
The Tokyo MaruiVSR-10 G-SPEC AirsoftSniper Rifle (Spring Power) and Tokyo Marui M40A5 Bolt ActionSniper Rifle are two of the more popular airsoftsniper rifle platforms from this Japanese brand. Although Novritsch and Silverback sniper rifles rival Tokyo Marui’s lineup in performance and quality, they typically sit at a higher price point.
Tokyo Marui GBBR
The gas blowback rifle (GBBR) platform offers airsoft players solid recoil, consistent power, and efficiency on the field. Some of our favorite GBBRs include the Tokyo Marui MK18 MOD 1 GBBRAirsoft M4 (ZET System) - Cerakote Coating and Tokyo Marui M4 MWS Carbine (ZET System) GBBRAirsoft M4 Rifle.
Tokyo Marui competes with VFC and GHK in the GBBR arena, topping their cold weather performance but losing a few points to the realism VFC and GHK integrate into their replicas.
How to Upgrade a Tokyo Marui Pistol
Since Tokyo Marui airsoft guns offer such a solid base, upgrading the internal components only makes them better.
The GBB pistols are probably the most upgradeable of the Tokyo Marui lineup, but here are a few things you can do to most Tokyo Marui airsoft guns as far as upgrades:
- Start with a high-quality precision inner barrel to achieve a tighter air seal
- A longer barrel will typically help you increase your speed and velocity
- Although the factory hop-upbucking works well, an upgraded bucking will do even more
- Install a threaded barrel to attach a mock suppressor
RedWolf carries a wide selection of Tokyo Marui replacement parts and aftermarket upgrades. Check out our selection of Tokyo Marui airsoft guns and start building your own Tokyo Marui to bring to your local airsoft field for hours of fun.
Before upgrading your gun, be sure to check local laws to ensure you do not exceed regulated power limits. In some countries, upgrading your airsoft gun beyond legal limits would make you criminally liable for possession of a firearm.
We do not recommend or support upgrading any airsoft gun beyond legal limits, and will not be held liable for any criminal activity from such acts. We provide information to readers on how to upgrade airsoft guns within the legal limit only.

This trick can usually generate some significant power gains.

Unfortunately there are very limited upgrade parts available for spring pistols, EBB pistols or AEP pistols. Tokyo Marui’s gas pistol range enjoys the most upgrade potential by far.

WHERE TO BUY TOKYO GLOCK 17?
Some products made by Tokyo Marui are not licensed for sale outside of Japan, and the Tokyo Marui Glock 17 is one such example where the trademarks on the gun are not officially licensed for sale anywhere else in the world. While Tokyo Marui’s Glock 17 is very high quality, the official licensed Glock airsoft pistols from Umarex offer comparable performance with a lot more features and realism. One thing to note is that the Tokyo Marui Glock 17 is actually wider than the real Glock 17 pistol, with slight differences in dimensions that make it unusable in a real Glock 17 holster. By contrast, the officially licensed Umarex Glock 17 airsoft pistols are correctly sized and do fit real Glock 17 holsters and accessories. Umarex Glock pistols manufactured by VFC are also cross compatible with Tokyo Marui Glock magazines in many cases.
If you are interested in a Glock 17 airsoft pistol, then consider the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 3 airsoft pistol made by GHK. It is the most realistic Glock 17 Airsoft pistol available.
HOW MUCH DO TOKYO MARUI AIRSOFT GUNS COST?
The price of Tokyo Marui airsoft guns can vary, starting with spring and electric powered airsoft pistols starting well below $50. Tokyo Marui offers a BOYS line of scaled down electric rifles to pre-teen shooters for under $100. Moving up beyond the $100 mark will open you up to the vast library of gas blowback pistols, which offer the most bang for the buck. Engaging and fun, gas blowback pistols will need to run on HFC134a or Green Gas.
If you’re looking for a sniper rifle, then that will start at around $160 onwards. Tokyo Marui AEG rifles will cost more than $200, with the more advanced Next Generation Recoil Shock (NGRS) series costing more than $400. If you are interested in a gas blowback rifle, then the Tokyo Marui MWS (ZET System) GBBR rifles will cost in excess of $500. Their impressive line of electric shotguns is also in this price range.
If budget is no issue, then consider the range topping Tokyo Marui MK46 MOD 0 AEG machine gun.
No matter what your budget is, Tokyo Marui has an airsoft gun for you. But the true joy of owning a Tokyo Marui gun, especially the electric rifles, gas pistols, and spring powered snipers, is their endless upgrade options offered by various third party brands.
