ARK17 Strike Industries CO2 GBB Airsoft Pistol KWC EMG

The Strike Industries KWC EMG ARK17 CO2 GBB airsoft pistol: a secondary weapon with a distinctive look and finishes designed for the field

The Strike Industries KWC EMG ARK17 CO2 GBB airsoft pistol is a gas-operated, moving-bolt pistol powered by CO2 via a 12g cartridge, developed under official Strike Industries license by EMG and manufactured by KWC. It is designed for airsoft players looking for a reliable, instantly recognizable, and ready-to-use secondary pistol, whether for CQB or more open-field games. Its ARK design, hybrid metal and polymer construction, and extensive customization options make it a standout in the CO2 GBB pistol category.

Construction and Materials

The slide is made of metal, giving the pistol a pronounced blowback and a balance in the hand consistent with its size. The frame, made of high-density polymer, keeps the total weight at 745 g for a length of 215 mm, two factors that facilitate quick handling, especially during weapon transitions. The full-grip pistol grip features a textured finish and an undercut trigger guard, two ergonomic details derived directly from Strike Industries, specifications to improve grip and index finger placement. Strike Industries markings are faithfully reproduced across the entire body, in accordance with the official license.

Barrel, Rear Sight, and Front Sight: Choices Tailored to Use

The outer barrel is CNC-machined and features a fluted profile, a visual hallmark of the ARK design. It is threaded 14 mm CCW, allowing for the direct attachment of a compatible suppressor or tracer without an additional adapter. The open-frame receiver reveals the outer barrel, reinforcing the replica's visual identity. The rear sight and front sight are integrated, maintaining a clear line of sight even with an accessory screwed onto the barrel. The hop-up is adjustable to adapt the effective range to the BBs used.

Accessories and Compatibility

The 3-slot Picatinny rail positioned beneath the fluted barrel accommodates tactical lights, laser pointers, or any other standard Picatinny-mount accessory. The slide is designed to accept an ARK-17-compatible sight plate, allowing for the mounting of a compact optic such as a micro red dot sight. In terms of power, the pistol is compatible with the EMG SI ARK 17-BB CO2 magazines, ProShop 17-bbs 6mm CO2 magazines for the KWC Glock 17 SI ARK, as well as Umarex CO2 magazines for the GLOCK 17 Gen4 by KWC. The pistol is available in an all-black finish or in a black/silver dual-tone version.
