In this Field Test Shooting Video I shoot the Cybergun FN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol in my indoor Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range to see what the real world velocity is and also how well it will group shooting 10 rounds at a paper target 30 feet down range. I was using .25 gram Airsoft BB’s for my testing along with Propane Gas. The temperature inside the sea can was around 26 degrees Celsius (79 degrees Fahrenheit).
Because the Cybergun FN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol coms with both a shorter internal barrel and a screw on extended barrel designed to be hidden inside a mock suppressor I thought it would make sense to test both the short and long barrels to see what the fps difference would be. With the short internal barrel I shot 4 rounds and average 255 fps. I then added the longer barrel extension again shooting 4 rounds but this time I averaged 363 fps so a good 100+ fps faster with the longer barrel attachment added to the Cybergun FN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol.
For my accuracy portion of the testing I left the extended barrel on the gun but was a bit disappointed in my 10 shot grouping. The Cybergun FN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol did not get the tightest of groupings coming in at around 5 inches. It also shot a little bit to the right but vertically was fairly well centered. Perhaps changing up the barrels and lengths might make a difference?
I did really like the Cybergun FN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol, it has a really light trigger that is a bit hard to find the release point, the blowback action is crisp but not overly heavy. I’m pretty sure the Cybergun FN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol is a VFC product so the quality is bang on. Other than the grouping being a little bit spread out I really liked everything about the Cybergun FN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol.
Type: GBB Airsoft Pistol. Manufacturer: Cybergun Model:FN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical. Materials: Metal and polymer construction. Weight: 1.8 Pound (820 grams). Barrel Length: 4.8 inch (12.2 cm). Total Length: 8.9 Inches (22.6 cm). Propulsion: Green gas or propane Action: Single and double action. Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB’s. Ammunition Capacity: 25 round magazine. Max FPS: 380 fps.
Trigger Pull: The Cybergun FN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol has a single and double action trigger setup. Both feel pretty good with a surprisingly light double action trigger pull, the blowback action will cock the hammer between shots allowing for the vast majority of your shots being single action which you will find are short and very light. There is a little bit of take-up followed by a crisp light release.
Accuracy: So far I have not made my Field Test Shooting Video for the Cybergun FN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol. Keep posted for my upcoming Field Test Shooting Video for the Cybergun FN Herstal FNX-45 Threaded Barrel GBB Airsoft Pistol, until then I can not really comment on the shooting results.
Build Quality: The build quality of the Cybergun FN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol feels really good, it has a nice weight to it and feels really solid in the hand. The materials used look good and have an excellent finish to them. There is just a bit of a slide wiggle but not excessive. You will find metal parts where you would expect them to be like in the slide, barrel components, magazine, slide catch release, take-down leaver, hammer and lots of internal parts.
Realism: In terms of realism the Cybergun FN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol is pretty much the spitting image of the real steel version with all the markings and licensing in all the right places. Mechanically everything works about the same including full field strip-ability with full ambidextrous controls.
Pros:

Full length blowback action.
Accurate licensed TFN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical replica.
Trigger pull is nice in both single and double action.
Picatinny rail for adding accessories like a tac light or laser.

White dot high rise front and back sights suitable for compensators.
Fully ambidextrous controls.

Adjustable Bax Hop-up
Cons:
Sights are not adjustable.
Just a little bit of slide wiggle.
Comments: The Cybergun FN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol is a really great looking gun. The quality is on par with KWA and KJ Works in my opinion. I’m not sure who actually makes it as Cybergun is the license holder and distributer but I feel like the Cybergun FN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol is a step up from the standard KWC gun often used as the base. I look forward to testing out the Cybergun FN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol in the Sea Can indoor Airgun Shooting range to see how it performs. I’ll be testing with the short barrel and with the barrel extension installed to see what the fps difference is between the two.
My Vimeo Table Top Review for the Cybergun FN Herstal FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol:
In this Table Top Preview video I take a look at two Blowback Airsoft Pistols one Distributed by Cybergun and the otters Distributed by ASG. Both are very similar in that they have threaded barrels which makes them much suppressor ready the big difference being that the ASG CZ P-09 is CO2 powered while the FN Herstal FNX-45 is Green Gas or Propane powered. IN this video I talk about the specifications and details and also show both Airsoft Pistols up nice and close.
Type: GBB Airsoft Pistol. Manufacturer: Made by Tokyo Marui. Model:FNX-45 Tactical. Materials: Mostly polymer with metal components. Weight: 1.8 pounds (830 grams). Barrel: 4.4 inches metal non-rifled. Propulsion: Green gas. Action: Semi auto blowback, singled double action trigger. Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB's. Ammunition Capacity: 29 round drop out full size metal magazine. FPS: Claimed 366.
Trigger Pull: The single action trigger pull on the Tokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol is light and smooth with just a bit of take-up and a crisp release. You can also shoot in double action, as expected the trigger pull in double action will be longer and heavier but it’s still pretty smooth and not at all heavy.
Build Quality: TheTokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol even though on the outside it’s all plastic (Slide and frame), the quality is fantastic, fit and finish is top notch everywhere and you will find metal parts where they need to be as in the inner and outer barrel, trigger, hammer, slide catch release, back strap safety, trigger group and many more internal parts.
Realism: The Tokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol is virtually an exact replica of a Real Steel FNX-45 Tactical, looking at photos online of the powder burning version it is nearly impossible to tell them apart. You will find FN licensing in all the right places but keep in mind Tokyo Marui does not actually hold an FN license so yours will come with black stickers over the FN markings. Easy enough to take off :) In terms of functionality the Tokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol operated pretty much exactly like the real steel version including the ability to field strip it for easy Hop-up adjustments.
Pros:
Ultra realistic Replica of the FNX-45 with authentic markings.
Removable slide cover allows mounting of red dot sight.
16mm CW threaded barrel is mock suppressor-ready.
Multiple grip backstraps for a custom fit to your hand size.
Overall quality, fit and finish is excellent.
Easy to see white dot sights front and back.
Full size full metal magazine.
Ambidextrous safety, slide catch and magazine release.
Can easily put a mock suppressor on it.
Comes with additional internal barrel lengths for a mock suppressor or no meat tenderizer setup.
All mechanical parts work just like a steel FNX-45.
Super fast blowback action, great for action shooting.
Cons:
Mostly all plastic build.
Not actually licensed by Tokyo Marui.
Comments:
I am really liking the Tokyo Marui product line and welcome it to our Canada Replica Airguns Store. The Tokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol is one the nicest quality Airsoft guns I have reviewed so far, it really is a work of art. The only thing that would be nice is a metal slide but I can live without it since everything else about the gun is nearly perfect! The Tokyo Marui FNX-45 Tactical GBB Airsoft Pistol is really built for everyone, left hand or right handed, large or small hands, the full set of ambidextrous controls and interchangeable back-straps will take care of you.
I though I would feature the fact that we recently added some of the Tokyo Marui product line to our Canada Replica Airguns Store. Tokyo Marui is said to be one of the best Airsoft products on the market and they have been around for a while so they have had time to get it right! As Tokyo Marui is a Japanese based company they are restricted to only being able to use plastic frames and slides but even with this limitation the Tokyo Marui products that I have personally looked at are extremely well made.
