Precision & gas economy
NBB (Non Blowback) replicas are gas-powered airsoft pistols without a moving slide. With no blowback mechanism, they optimise gas usage for greater precision, better autonomy and increased reliability in all weather. Perfect for precision shooting and players who seek pure efficiency.
Technology
NBB vs GBB: what's the difference?
The fundamental difference is the absence of a moving slide on NBBs. All the gas is used to propel the BB, with no wastage on a recoil mechanism. The result: more consistent muzzle velocity, significantly longer gas autonomy and fewer moving parts.
ⓘ Did you know? A gas magazine lasts significantly longer on an NBB than on an equivalent GBB. The absence of blowback can multiply autonomy by 2 to 3 times depending on the model and weather conditions.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about NBB pistols
Yes, generally. The absence of blowback eliminates micro-vibrations with each shot, resulting in better muzzle velocity consistency and improved accuracy at medium range.
Better than GBBs, yes. Without a blowback mechanism, gas pressure is entirely dedicated to BB propulsion. However, performance is still impacted by cold — CO2 is preferable below 10°C.
Green Gas is standard for most NBBs. CO2 is available on certain models and recommended in cold weather. Always check your model's specifications before use.
