Tokyo Marui is probably the most legendary airsoft manufacturer out there. The first company to ever manufacture AEGs, Tokyo Marui is still one of the most reputable airosft companies on the market.
Given this, it’s no wonder that most airsoft enthusiasts would love to own a Tokyo Marui replica. But, where do you start looking for the best replica for you? To help you make that choice, we ranked and reviewed 7 of the best Tokyo Marui guns out there.
If you’re in a hurry:
Tokyo Marui is a Japanese company, primarily known for manufacturing airsoft guns. Their products are widely popular not just in Japan, but in most of the airsoft world.
This is the company that first introduced battery-powered airsoft guns on the market more than 30 years ago. That invention changed airsoft forever.
Even 30 years later, Tokyo Marui is still one of the most reputable airsoft manufacturers in the world, with airsoft enthusiasts all over flocking to their products.
Apart from their reputation, a big advantage of Tokyo Marui guns is that they’re pretty easy to modify. This is because a lot of companies make aftermarket parts for them.
There are many factors to consider when choosing an airsoft gun. Some of the more important ones that we took into account when we made this list are shooting performance (FPS), accuracy, reliability, build quality (both internal and external), value for money (we made sure to only include Tokyo Marui guns on the list if they’re definitely worth their respective price), adjustable hop up, as well as others.
And now, here are the best Tokyo Marui guns on the market in 2024.
Best Tokyo Marui Guns for 2024
Best Tokyo Marui Pistols
1. Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 Gas Blowback
Best Tokyo Marui pistol overall
| FPS Range | 250-300 |
| Gas Type | HFC134a, Green gas |
| Dimensions | 235mm x 143mm |
| Magazine | 31 rounds |
| Hop up | Yes, Adjustable |
| System | Gas Blowback |
| Firing Mode | Semi-Auto, Safety |
| Manufacturer | Tokyo Marui |
Tokyo Marui produces some truly great airsoft pistols, so that’s where we’ll start our list. And among the plethora of great TM pistols, we chose the Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 Gas Blowback pistol as the best one out there.
In fact, this is not only the best Tokyo Marui gun, but we also ranked it first on our list of best airsoft pistols overall. When it comes to pistols, it can hardly get better than the Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1.
While other companies have created similar airsoft pistols, this one is truly elite, fully living up to the reputation of Tokyo Marui.
It’s a gas blowback pistol featuring a high-strength polymer slide and frame. The Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 uses green gas and can shoot up to 300 FPS. Its magazine can carry 31 rounds, much more than standard gas blowback pistols, so it protrudes slightly from the bottom.
The Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 is lightweight with a comfortable grip. It features a Hi-Grouping barrel stabilization and a hop up system which make it highly accurate. Apart from its high accuracy, it also has a great range. In a nutshell, the Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 is characterized by a great shooting consistency, FPS stability, and cycling speed.
Features:
- High strength polymer slide and frame
- Optional 20mm lower accessory rail
- Double stack magazine
- Stamped style markings
- Adjustable rear sights
- Realistic blowback action
It’s an all-plastic pistol, which comes with both advantages and disadvantages to full-metal pistols. Some of the advantages are the snappy blowback, the cycling speed, as well as having great gas efficiency.
One of the disadvantages of plastic airsoft pistols is that the slide is less durable. However, the Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 has a solid construction and has proven to be very durable in various tests. Therefore, it successfully overcomes even the biggest concerns usually related to plastic pistols.
In addition to it being great out of the box, the Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 is also highly upgradeable and customizable, with a number of aftermarket parts available for fine-tuning it.
The Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 is slightly more expensive than non Tokyo Marui pistols, but without a doubt, it lives up to the price. And due to its gas efficiency, in the long run, it’s still cost-effective. Hands down, this is probably the best Tokyo Marui gun you can get.
2. Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 4.3 Gas Blowback
Another great Tokyo Marui pistol
| FPS Range | 250-300 |
| Gas Type | HFC134a, Green gas |
| Magazine | 31 rounds |
| Hop up | Yes, Adjustable |
| System | Gas Blowback |
| Firing Mode | Semi-Auto, Safety |
| Manufacturer | Tokyo Marui |
If for any reason you’re not convinced by the Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1, a great alternative is the Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 4.3. You can also opt for the Tokyo Marui Desert Warrior 4.3, which is another great alternative.
The two Tokyo Maruis are similar in many aspects. Just like the 5.1, the Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 4.3 features a magazine with a capacity of 31 rounds, an adjustable hop up, and is powered by green gas. It shoots with a FPS of 250-300.
The main difference between the two is in the length of the barrel. The Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 4.3 has a barrel that’s 4.3 inches long, as suggested by the name. And as you probably can guess, the barrel of the Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 is 5.1 inches long.
Features:
- High-strength polymer slide and frame
- Optional 20mm lower accessory rail
- Double stack magazine
- Stamped trademarks
- Light weight trigger
- Adjustable target style rear sight
- Rear slide serrations
- On-frame safety
Due to the shorter barrel, the TM Hi-Capa 4.3 doesn’t have the range of the 5.1. Another shortcoming is that there aren’t as many parts for upgrading and customizing available in comparison to the 5.1.
The TM 5.1 and the 4.3 have a similar price. So, it’s up to your preferences if you want a more compact airsoft pistol, or a larger one with more range and aftermarket support. You can’t go wrong with either one anyway.
3. Tokyo Marui 1911 MEU
The best Tokyo Marui 1911 pistol
| FPS Range | 200 |
| Gas type | HFC134a, Green gas |
| Dimensions | 223mm x 150mm |
| Magazine | 28+1 rounds |
| Hop up | Yes, adjustable |
| System | Gas Blowback |
| Firing Mode | Semi-Auto, Safety |
| Manufacturer | Tokyo Marui |
The last airsoft pistol on the list is the Tokyo Marui 1911 MEU. Another truly great airsoft handgun.
The Tokyo Marui 1911 MEU is another all-plastic pistol, which shouldn’t really concern you, because it’s very solid construction and a very durable plastic. The pistol has a nice recoil, faster cycling speed, as well as good gas efficiency, which are all possible due to the plastic slide.
Features:
- High quality Japanese construction
- High cyclic rate thanks to ABS slide
- Realistic trademarks on slide
- Textured wrap around style grip
- Tactical low profile sights
This pistol features an adjustable hop up, a semi-auto firing mode, and a magazine with a capacity of 28+1 rounds. It’s powered by green gas and shoots with an FPS of roughly 200. As well as most other gas pistols on the list, the Tokyo Marui 1911 MEU is very accurate and has a great range.
Just like most Tokyo Marui pistols, it’s pricier compared to airsoft pistols that aren’t TM. However, that’s expected from a Tokyo Marui, and this pistol justifies the price.

Tokyo Marui is generally not your first thought when talking about AEGs. And rightly so. When talking specifically about the best AEGs out there, only a handful of TM AEGs can make the discussion. And the Tokyo Marui Next Generation SCAR-L / MK16 AEG is definitely one of them.
This airsoft gun is incredibly realistic. Even though an AEG, its realism is equivalent to a gas blowback rifle. Also, it features fully licensed trademarks, further adding to its realism.
Apart from the realism, the Tokyo Marui Next Generation SCAR-L / MK16 AEG has great internals. Contrary to what we’re used to with TM guns, it’s not all polymer, since it features metal receivers.
Features:
- Heavy duty nylon fiber reinforced lower receiver with CNC machined aluminum upper receiver w/ fully licensed FN Herstal trademarks
- Uses Marui’s proprietary Next Generation Recoil Shock system (NGRS) to simulate recoil and muzzle flip
- When utilizing the NGRS magazine, mock bolt will lock back after the last round
- Adjustable 6 position folding stock w/ cheek riser

- Flip up front and rear sights
The Tokyo Marui Next Generation SCAR-L / MK16 AEG shoots BBs at an FPS of 280, which is lower than most AEGs. But, given the customization options for Tokyo Maruis, this can be improved upon if you consider it an issue. The gun comes with a mid-cap magazine of 82 rounds.
By far the biggest con of the Tokyo Marui Next Generation SCAR-L / MK16 AEG is its price, which is a general theme throughout the article. The reputation and quality of Tokyo Marui guns means that they’re simply more expensive than other brands.
But, if you’re looking for an AEG and would like it to be Tokyo Marui, you probably can’t find a better option than the Tokyo Marui Next Generation SCAR-L / MK16 AEG.

Due to Japanese laws, its FPS out of the box is limited and is around 265. Despite that, this is a very accurate bullpup gun, with surprisingly great range and rate of fire. It comes with a hi-capacity magazine of 330 rounds and with an adjustable hop up.
All in all, if you’re looking for a P90 airsoft replica, the Tokyo Marui P90 is very likely the best one on the market. And if you like similar PDWs, check the best airsoft PDW replicas overall.
