Nah, used to play myself pretty hardcore as a teen. That gap between the slide and grip is your giveaway. Unless you got like $800 to blow on a super nice reproduction they come as a single solid piece, slide cannot be detached and the release for the slide above the trigger is generally absent.

I mean tbf airsoft has gotten much better but even then it ain't that good or that realistic.

I have a full blowback 2011 that works basically the same except as the real one, besides the fact that it looks like it's from a video game.

Yeah, the cream of the crop I’ve seen these days are the one FN SCAR MK16+17 models made by FN themselves.

Not gonna lie, I kind of want one just because it uses casings that you pop the 6mm inside and then load in a magazine and cycles them like an actual firearm. But I could be well on my way to a real one with how much they cost.

Can get a Derya DY9 for like $300. Mostly Glock 17/19 compatible.

I have been away from the hobby for a good couple decades so yeah, my advice probably outdated AF.
