Description
Golden Eagle 4.3 OPS Gas Blowback Pistol (Metal – 3301) (Blue)
The Golden Eagle 4.3 OPS (model 3301) is a metal gas blowback pistol in blue, based on the Hi-Capa 4.3 platform. The 4.3 is the compact member of the Hi-Capa family, with a shorter slide and barrel than the full-size 5.1, which makes it quick to draw and easy to carry as a sidearm.
Golden Eagle is known for offering well-featured replicas at accessible prices, and the 3301 OPS is a popular choice for players who want a metal Hi-Capa without spending a fortune. This blue version is a UK coloured replica, giving it a bright, unmistakable look.
Build and design
The 3301 is a metal pistol built on a full metal frame, giving it a solid, weighty feel in the hand. It follows the classic Hi-Capa layout, with a double-stack grip and familiar controls, and has an accessory rail on the underside of the frame for a small torch.
The compact 4.3 size balances well, with enough grip to hold comfortably while keeping the slide short for quick handling in tight spaces.
Performance
As a gas blowback pistol, the slide cycles with every shot for realistic feedback. It is semi-automatic, with an adjustable hop-up so you can set it for your preferred BB weight and get consistent, flat shots.
The Hi-Capa platform is one of the most widely supported in airsoft, so magazines, upgrade parts and holsters are generally easy to find.
Getting started
Charge the magazine with gas in short, steady bursts and let it rest briefly before shooting. Test-fire at a safe target and set the hop-up from zero, adding a little at a time until the BB’s flight is straight and level.
Practise reloads at home so they feel natural, and have the replica chronographed at the site before your first game.

Compatibility
The 3301 is based on the Hi-Capa 4.3, so Hi-Capa gas magazines should generally fit; check that spares are listed as compatible with Golden Eagle Hi-Capa pistols. The underside rail takes compact pistol torches. Choose a holster made for a Hi-Capa 4.3. Use a suitable airsoft gas such as green gas.
Care and maintenance
Keep a little gas in the magazines when you store them and lubricate the seals with silicone oil from time to time. Fill in short bursts until gas just starts to spit back, and keep magazines at room temperature for the best performance.
After use, check the moving parts for dirt and wipe them with a light coat of silicone oil. Clean the inner barrel occasionally, use clean seamless BBs, and keep the replica dry.
Who is it for?
The 4.3 OPS suits players looking for an affordable, metal Hi-Capa sidearm in a compact size, and anyone who wants a blue pistol that stands out.
Please note: BBs and gas are not listed as included. Always wear suitable eye and face protection when using airsoft replicas.
