The FN509 EMG DOUBLE EAGLE Gas Blowback Replica is a GBB airsoft pistol featuring Gas Blowback operation, designed for players seeking a modern, ambidextrous FN509 gas-powered replica pistol compatible with a variety of accessories. It stands out for its design, which combines a reinforced polymer frame, a metal aluminum slide, controls accessible from both sides, and a platform compatible with mounting an RMR-footprint scope via a dedicated plate.
A gas blowback design focused on realism and handling
This FN509 operates on gas with semi-automatic fire and a blowback effect on every cycle. This mechanism provides the mechanical recoil sensation sought after in a GBB pistol replica, while remaining easy to use in-game. The adjustable hop-up allows you to tailor the firing performance to the BBs used and the playing conditions.
The construction features a reinforced nylon polymer frame and a full-metal aluminum slide. The outer barrel is also made of aluminum, reinforcing the impression of solidity in the replica’s moving and visible parts.

The slide accepts interchangeable optic plates, with a dedicated RMR footprint plate included. This configuration allows the replica to be equipped with a compatible red dot sight without modifying the slide base.
The fiber-optic sights facilitate sight acquisition. The 14mm CCW threaded external barrel allows for the mounting of muzzle accessories compatible with this standard, such as certain airsoft tracers or sound suppressors.
