I'm a huge Tokyo Marui fanboy and I love this Mark 23, it's a great piece of kit. Because it has no blowback it's incredibly quiet, which is why airsoft snipers valued it as a secondary. The accuracy is great and you can get a ton of upgrade parts, like a long inner barrel through the silencer. It's all plastic and the flashlight is weak, but at $140 I think it's priced well for what it is. I don't play sniper much so it mostly stays in my collection, but I love having it.

What he said, by aspect

build“it's built incredibly well... the whole thing is plastic... isn't necessarily the same quality as some of the other things” at 03:287
gas power consistency“meant for duster gas... if you're using green gas on it it isn't going to last as long” at 03:30—
accuracy range“the accuracy on this is great... put a very long barrel in through the silencer and make this thing incredibly accurate at range” at 03:088
reliability failures“no failures reported; used in games; green gas use reduces longevity” at 03:35—
ergonomics“it is a massive pistol... basically the size of a PDW; safety fairly easy to manipulate but not the easiest” at 00:56—

Problems he hit

LAM flashlight is very weak and can be left switched on unintentionally, draining the battery and giving away position · 05:02
Running green gas instead of duster gas will make it not last as long · 03:35

Out of the box

140Price quoted

No chrono or performance numbers given. $140 at Redwolf, out of stock at time of filming. Non-blowback design, very quiet. Built for duster gas; green gas shortens lifespan.

Caveats

  • No FPS, joule, or accuracy distance numbers were given anywhere in the video
  • Ed openly describes himself as a Tokyo Marui fanboy, so the review is explicitly positive-biased
  • Price is a quoted retailer price (Redwolf) and the item was out of stock at the time
  • Pistol is non-blowback; categorized as GBB pistol because the schema has no NBB category
