ProForce M17 vs M18 Airsoft: The Three-Second Answer

Short version: the ProForce M17 is the full-size airsoft replica of the U.S. Army’s M17 service pistol — 4.7" barrel, ~880 g loaded, Coyote Tan only, best for static-range work, IPSC Action Air practice, and anyone who actually shoots a real-steel M17. The ProForce M18 is the compact Marine Corps variant — 3.9" barrel, ~830 g loaded, Coyote Tan or Black, better suited for CQB, indoor draw drills, and shooters with smaller hands or concealed-carry training goals. Both are SIG-licensed and built by VFC, both run on green gas or CO2, and the 21-round magazines are fully cross-compatible.
