these two ravens out each day
to soar across the lands. At day’s
end, they would return to Odin
and speak to him of all they had
spied upon and learned on their
journeys. We wanted to create
pistols that players could rely
I was very pleasantly surprised late in
2017 when Ross introduced me to the
pre-production version of the new RAVEN
EU17 GBB and I’ve been using one ever
since in my personal airsoft adventures!
Since then the marque has moved ever-
onwards, offering players a mind-bending
array of models and indeed, colours to
choose from! I asked him what there
would have been to look forward to at
IWA and this is what he told me.
“Raven has really come on as a brand in its
own right since we launched those initial
models and although, like
any manufacturer, we’ve
had our “ups and downs”,
it’s been pretty much all
“ups” as the range has
matured and grown!
“The raven is symbolic of
mind, thought and wisdom
in Norse legend, as the god
Odin had two Ravens as
his sidekicks. The first was
Hugin who represented
the power of thought
and the active search for
information. The other
raven, Mugin represented
“With the Hi Capas we’ve kept everything
on as their
“sidekick”,
something
that would
always be
with them
as they
progressed
in their own
personal
airsoft
odyssey,
forever
learning as they
went.
the mind and its ability to intuit meaning,
rather than hunting for it. Odin would send
RAVEN HI CAPAS, both 4.3 and 5.1. Both
these models have moved on from the
originals, with a modern, strong, almost
“blocky” look that is right on the button
for current combat pistol design.
“As much as
our existing
RAVEN EU and
“1911” models
are first rate
(and those
ranges continue
to grow), we
felt strongly
that we wanted
to really make a
firm statement
of intent when
it came to what we are able to achieve and
the net result of that was the new range of
completely streamlined
without any fuss or ornate
work to any of the main
parts. These are pistols
fundamentally designed to
be skirmished with, to be
used rather than just carried
in a holster. We’ve beefed
up areas that we felt needed
it, to give them longevity
and durability, only adding
features where necessary like
the threaded outer barrels
and the light/laser rail on the
frame. We also upgraded the
slide spring to cope both with the minimal
increase in weight and to give them a real
kick!
“The RAVEN Hi Capa line has been on sale
for a little while now but IWA was going to
be the first show where we highlighted the
entire range, as well as the new concept
model for the Hi Capa, the “Dragon 7”.
This model is still in development, but as
you know we go from concept to reality
pretty fast these days, as everything is
100% “in house”.
“There will be more to come with RAVEN,
so make sure to keep your eyes on the
website and Facebook page for news and
updates!”
