Glock 17 green gas is a perfectly reproduced replica of the Glock 17 gen 3 pistol, with a powerful blow-back system, metal lock and manual operation compatible with firearms.
The Glock 17 replica has an aluminum lock and a polymer frame. The gun's lock is made of aluminum alloy by CNC method, making the weight of the replica similar to the weapon. In the front part of the skeleton is a short mounting rail, allowing the use of additional shooting accessories such as a laser target pointer or flashlight. Licensed Glock company markings and the pistol's serial number are applied to the lock and the frame. The grip has anatomical finger molding and fine texturing, which ensures good control of the replica regardless of hand size. The operation of the moving parts (magazine latch, breech drop lever, trigger with safety), and manual operation are identical to the real Glock 17. The replica has dimensions consistent with the original, so you can use standard firearms holsters, i.e. Safariland or Blackhawk, to carry the pistol.
Glock 17 gen 3 blowback - replica with blowback and metal lock
The Glock 17 gen 3 replica is powered by green gas, a mixture of propane and silicone oil, which is also responsible for the maintenance of the seals and valve. The green gas shoots 6 mm 0.20 g bullets with an energy of 1 J (about 320 fps). This provides an effective distance within 20 meters, so the replica will perform best when shooting at short and medium distances. The gas mixture is stored in an integrated magazine reservoir, filling the green gas is done in the same way as with a regular gas lighter.
Thanks to the optimized distribution of green gas, the replica provides a particularly strong blowback effect. As a result, players experience a stronger, more realistic recoil after each shot. The gun is designed to be fed with green gas with increased pressure up to 150 PSI, which guarantees repeatability and efficiency of shots. The stronger "kick" of the breech makes us have an irresistible impression of shooting a firearm. A full tank of green gas allows you to fire up to 60 shots with an even initial velocity of 320 fps, which is a good result for a replica with a gas blow back system. The number of shots fired depends mainly on the air temperature and the dynamics with which you shoot. The replica uses an adjustable hop-up system, which is responsible for the accuracy and range of the shot. The Glock 17 is designed to be powered by green gas with an increased pressure of 150 PSI, which ensures stable operation of the replica even at a low temperature of 3°C.

The Glock 17 gen 3 has a Safe Action trigger mechanism with a trigger fuse, which forces the correct finger placement on the trigger tongue in order to fire. This solution is implemented from the Safe Action mechanism used in the Glock series.
The weight of the trigger tongue is about 2.8 kg, so the replica can be successfully used for "force on force" shooting training. The gun is powered by a metal magazine with a capacity of 20 bullets. To increase realism, there is a dummy ammunition level indicator on the back of the body of the 20-round magazine. The pistol uses mechanical sighting instruments, i.e. a musket with a white dot, and a frame-mounted (horizontally adjustable) sights. Contrasting markings speed up the ripping of the instruments, and also allow quick silhouette shooting in low or residual light.
