Description.

The Double Bell 789+ JW3 Baba Yaga is a green gas airsoft pistol based around the familiar Hi-Capa-style platform, but this deluxe version is as much about presentation as it is about shooting. Rather than arriving on its own, the pistol sits inside a collector case alongside a selection of JW themed props, including coins, a pencil and Continental card. If you like your airsoft kit with a bit of cinema-inspired character, there is plenty to look at here before you've even filled the magazine with gas.

More importantly, underneath the collector-set extras is a proper skirmishable GBB Pistol. The 789+ runs on green gas and uses a realistic gas blowback system, so the slide cycles backwards with each shot before returning ready for the next BB. When the magazine is empty, the slide locks to the rear. It is a small detail that makes a big difference to the handling. Reloads feel natural, and you know immediately when you've run dry rather than standing there wondering why nothing is happening.

The construction also gives this BB Gun a reassuring amount of substance in the hand. Double Bell uses metal for the main pistol construction and controls, while the grip itself is polymer. That combination suits this type of airsoft handgun well. You get the colder, heavier feel associated with a metal GBB while retaining the practical texture and shape of a polymer grip. It feels more like a serious sidearm than a lightweight plinker.

Starting at the controls, Double Bell has fitted an extended magazine release. It sits more prominently than a basic service-style release, making it easier to reach when you want to drop the magazine without completely rearranging your firing grip. Underneath, the flared magwell gives the magazine a wider opening to find during a reload. Think of it as a funnel for the magazine: you still need to point it in roughly the right direction, obviously, but you don't have to be quite so surgical when things get busy.

The supplied gas magazine holds 28 rounds, which gives the pistol a useful capacity for an airsoft sidearm. It's enough for plenty of secondary-weapon work while still keeping the handling and reload process you expect from a gas-powered Hi-Capa-style pistol. Fill the magazine with suitable green gas, load your BBs and you're ready to go. As with any gas airsoft gun, actual performance can vary with gas pressure and ambient temperature, so colder winter days can make the pistol behave differently from a warm summer skirmish.

The safety arrangement is another useful touch. Ambidextrous safety levers mean the controls can be operated from either side, which is handy for left-handed airsofters and also useful when swapping hands around cover. The pistol operates in safe and single-shot modes rather than offering automatic fire. For a sidearm like this, that's exactly the straightforward arrangement most players will be familiar with.

The hop-up is adjustable. For anyone newer to gas pistols, the hop-up applies controlled backspin to the BB and helps it maintain a flatter flight path. Getting the setting right matters. Too little hop and BBs drop early; wind in too much and they'll start climbing towards the clouds. Spend a few minutes setting it for the BB weight you actually use and the 789+ should be much more useful at normal airsoft pistol distances.

Then there is the blowback itself. A gas blowback pistol has a completely different personality from a fixed-slide BB pistol. Every trigger pull cycles the metal slide, giving you movement and recoil feedback while also cocking the action for the next shot. It isn't firearm recoil, of course, but in airsoft terms it gives the gun that mechanical snap which makes GBB sidearms so enjoyable to use. The lock-back after the final BB finishes the effect nicely.

The JW3 influence is where the 789+ steps away from an ordinary Hi-Capa. Its competition-inspired appearance, extended controls and flared magwell give it that unmistakable customised-sidearm look. It's certainly not shy. If a plain black service pistol is the airsoft equivalent of turning up in a sensible pair of trainers, the Baba Yaga has arrived wearing the expensive suit.

The deluxe presentation package is also worth discussing because it is a genuine part of this particular model rather than an afterthought. Alongside the JW3 pistol and gas magazine, Double Bell includes themed pieces such as the pencil, Continental card and coins, all presented with the display case. That makes the 789+ particularly interesting for an airsofter who enjoys collecting film-inspired replicas as much as taking them onto the field.

For skirmishing, the useful bits are still there. You have the 28 round magazine, adjustable hop, green gas power, semi-automatic firing, blowback operation and practical competition-style controls. In other words, the presentation doesn't turn it into something that has to spend its entire life sitting untouched on a shelf. It's an airsoft gun you can actually run as a secondary if that's what you bought it for.

Maintenance is worth keeping in mind with any full-metal green gas airsoft pistol. Keep the sliding surfaces clean, use suitable lubricant where required and look after the magazine seals. Don't drown the internals in oil; more isn't automatically better. Gas magazines also appreciate being treated with a little care rather than being thrown into the bottom of a kit bag underneath three kilos of BB bottles and assorted tactical clutter.

Overall, the Double Bell 789+ JW3 Baba Yaga sits in an interesting middle ground. It has the working features you'd expect from a Hi-Capa-style gas blowback airsoft handgun, yet the collector case and themed extras give it considerably more display appeal than a standard boxed sidearm. For someone who wants a JW-inspired BB pistol but still intends to actually shoot the thing, that's arguably the point of the package.
