Description
Knights Armament by EMG PDW M2 Compact Gas Blowback Rifle (Tan – KA-DR0210)
This is the Knight’s Armament PDW M2 Compact gas blowback rifle in tan, produced under licence by EMG (code KA-DR0210). The KAC PDW is a compact personal defence weapon designed by Knight’s Armament Company, with a side-folding stock and an extremely short overall length, and it has become a favourite among airsoft players who want something different from the usual M4.
EMG is a brand known for officially licensed airsoft replicas, carrying the correct manufacturer trademarks. Combined with gas blowback operation, this gives you a realistic, recoiling PDW that is ideal for CQB.
How gas blowback works
In a gas blowback rifle, each shot uses gas from the magazine both to fire the BB and to drive the bolt carrier back, giving a sharp, realistic recoil impulse and a working bolt you can see and hear. The bolt typically locks back when the magazine is empty, just like the real rifle, and you release it to chamber the next round after a reload.
Gas blowback rifles appeal to players who value realism and a hands-on experience. They need a little more care than an AEG, and gas performance falls off in cold weather, but the feel of shooting one is hard to beat.
Design and handling
The PDW’s side-folding stock and short receiver make it remarkably compact, especially with the stock folded, and it is very quick to bring on target in buildings and vehicles. The Compact version is the shorter of the PDW M2 versions, for maximum manoeuvrability. The tan finish suits coyote, desert and multicam kit.
Gas and magazines
The EMG PDW M2 is offered by retailers with gas magazines in different types, including green gas and CO2 versions. Please check with us which magazine type is supplied with this rifle before buying gas or spares, and never use lighter fluid or butane. In cold weather, keep spare magazines warm in a pouch to maintain pressure.

Compatibility
Use gas magazines made for the EMG KAC PDW M2, and make sure the gas type of any spare magazine matches what you intend to use. Magazines from other GBB systems will not fit. Rail accessories should match the rail type fitted; compact optics and lights suit the PDW’s size best. We also list the PDW M2 in Compact black (KA-DR0200) and Standard tan (KA-DR0110).
Care and maintenance
Use only airsoft-specific gas of the type the manufacturer recommends; never lighter fluid or butane, which damage seals. Fill the magazines in short bursts with the valve upright, and put a drop of silicone oil on the fill valve and outlet seal now and then to keep the rubber supple.
Store magazines with a small amount of gas in them so the seals stay seated, and keep everything somewhere cool and dry. After a game, wipe the replica down, lightly oil the moving parts of the bolt and slide or bolt carrier rails as the manual describes, and run a cleaning rod through the inner barrel. Gas performance drops in cold weather, so keep spare magazines warm in a pouch on winter days.
Who is it for?
The PDW M2 Compact suits CQB players who want a compact, distinctive gas blowback rifle, and fans of Knight’s Armament designs looking for an officially licensed replica.
Please note: Gas and BBs are not listed as included. The number and type of magazines supplied are not stated in our listing; please contact us to confirm. Always wear suitable eye protection, and full-face protection where your site requires it, when using or testing any airsoft replica.
