Description
Tokyo Marui V10 Ultra Compact 1911 Gas Blowback Pistol (Black)
The Tokyo Marui V10 Ultra Compact is a short, 1911-pattern gas blowback pistol in black, based on the compact, ported V10 carry pistol. It is small enough to carry easily as a backup or concealed sidearm, and its distinctive slide porting gives it a look that stands out from full-size 1911s.
Tokyo Marui is Japan’s best-known airsoft manufacturer and its gas pistols are known for accurate shooting and reliable blowback. A UK retailer listing describes the V10 as using a blowback engine based on Tokyo Marui’s M45A1, and as reproducing the V10’s distinctive ported slide and surface finish.
Size and handling
The retailer listing gives a length of about 180mm and a weight of about 709g, which makes the V10 notably compact while keeping enough weight to feel solid in the hand. It is a good choice for players with smaller hands or for anyone who wants a pistol that sits close to the body in a holster or pouch.
The single-action 1911 trigger is short and crisp, and the familiar controls make it easy to pick up if you have used other 1911-pattern pistols.
How it works
The V10 is a gas blowback pistol: gas stored in the magazine fires the BB and cycles the slide on every shot for realistic recoil. The hop-up is adjustable so you can tune the BB flight. The retailer listing gives a 22-round magazine capacity.
The same listing advises using low-pressure gas rather than standard green gas, which helps protect a compact pistol like this. Please follow the manual’s guidance.
Getting started
Fill the magazine with the recommended gas in short bursts, load BBs, insert the magazine and rack the slide. Fire a few shots at a safe backstop and adjust the hop-up until the BBs fly flat. Compact pistols have smaller gas reservoirs, so they are most efficient in mild weather; keep the magazine warm on cold days.

Compatibility
The V10 uses Tokyo Marui V10 Ultra Compact magazines; full-size 1911 or Hi-Capa magazines will not fit. Use low-pressure gas as recommended in the manual and good quality seamless 6mm BBs. Holsters need to suit a compact 1911-pattern pistol.
Care and maintenance
Put a drop of silicone oil on the magazine’s fill valve and seals every few fills, and store the magazine with a little gas in it so the seals stay seated. Do not overfill, and in cold weather let the magazine warm up naturally rather than heating it.
Wipe the moving parts with a thin film of silicone oil now and then, clean the inner barrel with a rod and patch, and keep the pistol away from heat and direct sunlight.
Who is it for?
The V10 Ultra Compact suits players who want a reliable, compact backup pistol, collectors of Tokyo Marui 1911s, and anyone with smaller hands looking for a manageable gas pistol.
Please note: Gas is not included. Always wear suitable eye and face protection when using airsoft replicas, and check your site’s rules and power limits before play.
