TOKYO MARUI MK23 VS NOVRISTCH SSX23 REVIEW - FULLY TESTED 

Now that's how to review. Full of the relevant content. Great work

Did I just hear a European say "inch" without any hesitation?

You know he’s Irish when he’s doing a review on a bale trailer🤣

Unbiased, informative and to the point. All round a cracking review. Keep up the good work.

Great video and thorough review! A few tips on measuring sound: 1. Never measure at point blank range, the pressure wave from the muzzle will register as sound. In most fields of engineering 1m away is standard. With an air gun you might need to measure at an even further distance to get a coherent result. Like 3m, so the air puff dissipates. 2. Never measure with a mic directly next to a surface, adds 3-6db intensity, due to rebound/compression near surface. Ideally the microphone should be suspended at least 1 meter from any surface, ideally on a tripod, but sitting on a ledge or edge of a table, handrail, is good enough. Put the phone on a ledge, hold the gun at the same height/level, 3m away, pointing right at the mic. 3. Measuring outside will provide a better recording and cleaner curve since there are no room reverbs etc. Unless there is wind or noise. That way you can see the difference in characteristics much clearer. 4. If you do more of these reviews consider getting a calibrated microphone, like the 3.5mm plug Dayton Audio iMM-6 Calibrated Measurement Microphone for 20 dollars. It is light years better, almost considered legit for serious stuff. +- 1 dB error. 5. With a proper mic, check if C weighing can be enabled in the app. Usually a standard feature with A/C selectable. C is a weighted sum/"equalization" that preserves low frequency content at relatively flat levels. A ignores a lot of low freq content. Low Freq, the "thump", is what is hardest to suppress and travels further.

I love the videos it is great to see successful irish airsoft youtubers

Fantastic , comprehensive and pretty much what your fans (aka me)expect from your review / testing videos . Keep up the awesome content I am hooked .

Very good in-depth review and comparisson. You don't get "big" channels to do all this work. Respect from Argentina

Hi I'd just like to say I've just ordered the ssx23 because of this down to earth review..good skills start Monday... :-)

More people need to review accuracy based on groupings instead of free handing it

I will be honest, it was this review that sold me on the SSX23 and I absolutely love it. Been buying gear for my son and I so doubling up on costs. Wanted a pistol that performs well out of the box with next to zero faff. The SSX23 absolutely delivers. Yes I have fired the others and do like elements of the Tm and ASG etc but I am happy with my ssx23.

thank you sir you've helped on a decision 4 years later Hope everything is going your way

So here is the real difference. The tm version can accept all of the wii tech internal upgrades. Clones can not accept the left side action bar

Re: Markings/Branding - who cares if it has the .45 markings - you are shooting BBs.

Very good, comprehensive test..... Fair play man, I cringed ever so slightly when you were tightening the vice 😂 😂 😂

One reason it might be bare of markings is due to the USA restrictions. I know when I bought the TM MK23 all the markings were scraped or melted off. Good idea if it saves you the hassle.

Most thorough review of both guns on The Internets. Well done and THANK YOU! Closed captions..."Mach 23 talking Marie versus much talked about nirvash SSX 23". It can't handle the Irish but then again that's why we kick ass and take names later....Patrick. :)

Great review! There seems to be lots of hate for Novritsch lately but my SSX has been great. Literally the only gun I haven’t stared to upgrade within a week of buying it.

Great Video glad I'm not the only person out there that saw no need for the double screw tdc!

I bought the ssx23 (£123) and ive got a asg mk23 (£60), the 1st day out i had problems with ssx23, the mag switch failed losing a mag in field, yes it also had feed lips problems out of the box cheap cheap cheap. You didnt take it apart, i can tell you there is no difference between the cheap asg mk23 and ssx23. My advice is buy the asg mk23 and tech it, cut one of the mag release buttons off left or right depends on you, use a peice of velcro stuck to the bottom back of the cheap mags this helps not loosing mags, doesnt work for tm mags. Buy the nov silencer and bottem rail they fit the asg. Use a long barrel so it goes into the silencer you'll have to drill out asg to allow this 8mm drill bit, fit the hadron duel screw with fang with the og hop up plate, all explained on the "snipermechic" website. In the end you will spend less and get more than buying what is a asg in wolfs clothing. I sent my ssx23 back for a refund i cant trust that again.

Fare, unbiased review on both guns. Thank you very much, bro. I have a brand loyalty, so I will stick with TM )))

You definitely are my reference when it comes to know more about a replica. Thanks for the good content!

Probably the best review on the ssx23!! Now we need some gameplay!

You just got yourself a subscriber for not letting bias completely sway your review. I will be looking forward to more.

I’ve been waiting for a video like this

without the sight on it you can fit the suppressor and an extra mag

Thank you for this comparison. I owned a TM Mk23 years ago and I'm tempted to pick up the SSX23.

i already own a tokyo marui mk23 I'm just here just so I can hear his accent

Spectacular comparison / Review, thanks dude!

just came across this, and this is honestly a great video - thank you for providing the airsoft community with this

Thanks for the good review - I just bought the SSX23.

The ssx 23 is a rebranded stti mk23 with a better inner barrel and bucking and Hi viz sights. Same as the ssp1 being a rebranded KJW with the same upgrades. I have both and both counter part pistols. Not really worth the price points but still nice pistols.

Brilliant video mate. Love your content. I just bought the ssp1 and I love it. Sendin love from England. Keep it up bro👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻

jeezuz the music at the start gave me a flashback so big it became a flashfront.

Great video I have subscribed on the strength if it ....was brilliant to see an unbiased review ...The SSX tempts me massively because of the metal slide and pre upgrades also the suppressor will fit my M4 ....happy days ...keep up the good work

Very nice review man, taken with care and informative

Great review thx for taking the time to go through everything

Don't agree on one thing, the hadron TDC that comes with the SSX-23 makes it shoot slightly to the left, bought a twin screw TDC and problem solved. Also for everyone looking into getting an SSX-23 get ready to face Double feeding issues, loosing the spring which is underneath the mag release, drastic FPS drops because the bucking is sooo loose. These are all facts which you can also find on the SSX-23 Owners fb group. However grate vid mate.

The MK23 will always hold a special place in my heart

Great review bro, zero shite, I like that. I'm just getting into Airsoft and am glad I stumbled onto the channel. Takes me back to the G10 and G50 days, coating target pellets with chalk dust lol those were the days.

Awesome comparison. Very thorough. So the TM LAM will fit on the SSX?

Was a bit confused as i scrolled through the comments before watching your video. They are damn right. Great video, very clear and not even the slightest shilling.

Finally a proper comparison between the two, everyone's else's comparison is only like 5 minutes and barely gives any information. Also i still can't figure out which part of Ireland that accents from

"Cheaper" Although you still have to buy the Suppressor? Also done my own testings and at range tests over 50m the TM just comes into it's own my personal TM using .48's can push 70m whereas I'm yet to see the SSX do anything similar.

I've had that safety problem with my pistol too. Enemy right there, jump out, pull the trigger and.... Safety was on, back to respawn

really good work, I have just one suggestion : you should always test suppressors with bbs, the sound changes drastically compared to blank firing. keep up the good work !

very good review, all cons and pros without leaving anything unspoken

Got recommended to have a look at your channel and I absolutely love your niche boss🚀 fair play✌️

Very nice comparison, thank you a lot!

Excellent comparison. Very detailed!

Thanks, very useful comparison

for the sound test u should actually put your finger over the end by 3/4 to simulate a bb

Thanks for this. It's exactly what I've been looking for. Good show. I've been torn between these two. But Novirich's build with metal is what sold me. I can't stand plastic. As you can see why. And much better with a smaller case for me. Like consealment.

You’ve gained a subscriber from this video. Very good and informative content. Keep it up! 🙌🏼

Me scrolling through the comments wondering how the hell you have time to reply to 540 comments Haha, I love this review well done

Great review man. Will come back for more. Many thanks. Bryan.

Very good solid review mate.. well done 👏👏

Great review. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent video. Maybe an additional comparison between these 2 and the cheaper stti mk23?

Thanks for this great info. Your sound level test should have at least six feet of distance to the measuring device. Close proximity creates the greatest sound pressure variation from the slightest angle and distance difference to the muzzle. Greater distance will also allow the longest / lowest frequencies to be included in the measurement. Lower freq's travel the greatest distance revealing the initial direction / location of an opponent.

I bought my son an ssx23 an suppressor for xmas an before he had even emptied 1 mag 1 of the bbs had caught on 1 of the foam discs inside suppressor an forced it through the others ripping 2 of the discs and jamming the suppressor. I had to empty the foam discs out unblock the jam an put discs bk in minus the ripped 2 so now i have a section of suppressor without any suppressing foam. You would at least expect they would check the holes in the foam were big enough and clear of any bits that could get caught by the bb traveling through

Aloha Fox Green, great review!🇺🇸🇬🇧😎🤙

Excellent review. Thank you.

just what i needed. Thanks

Great review. Thank you. 👍

The reason its not marked or exactly the same is because its not a MK23 its an MK23-alike. meaning it replicates features of it but doesn't have rights to be called it or be identical to it.

I think for comparison you should compare them out of the box, not after particular upgrade, then you can see the differences

25 year warranty vs 6 month warranty. I'll take the 25 year warranty.

Very very good review!

Excellent video! Well done. Cheers from Canada

Very detailed review. Thank you for this great video!

really good comparison, thumbs up

Great video 👍 keep up with the amazing vids

Thanks to you I have decided MK23 😁😁👍 great review

Are these pistols both green gas?

Thank you for the Video, Rally nice review

Excellent review, I have subbed.

Thanks for the video, but I dont understand why did you put in name of the video: fully tested… and you tested 3bbs on tm and 5bbs on nov on 10meters, I was expecting to see 10-20-30-40-50-60-70+ meters…

Interesting that the trigger was markedly more quiet on the Mk23 than the SSX23

Great review and compare!

Just awesome review!

From looking at the prices, the tokyo marui is actually cheaper because u need to spend 40 euros to get the supressor on the novritch one (marui is sent with suppressor already)

Found the second safety useful for not dumping all your gas when you accidentally lean on the hammer...🤣

Thank you for that review. I was looking so hard for a review with decibel test as I look for a really quiet gun for at home. So I’ve heard that spring guns are around 80 dB too, so that means if this works without any complaints, then I could go with the Novritsch. Btw, can you test the ASG MK23? It would be cheaper and if it is just as quiet I would save a lot of money.

Brilliant video bud

I would say this: - No markings of an original manufacturers are a bit of a lay off, ok but, if you paint your gun, you cover those markings anyway, and you notice them only for some time when the replica is new. - Thankfully beacose its not licensed, with absolute 0 markings, replika is way cheaper, affordable for much more people aaaaaand its very good out of the box, other much expensive replicas are way worse, but the price is high beacose of markings...

I heard some people are having consistency issues wit their ssx pistols. Any with yours so far?

Awesome review man... Has made me want an ssx 😂😂

Nice to find unbiased Novritsch review. However, the weight of the pistols is 8+lbs, thats about 5kg. Not sure what happened as they are about 1kg.

Solid review. 👍👍👍

the LLM section doesn't really count to be honest because the olight is a 80pounds+ extra but good review otherwise

Thorough review. Well done. Youre my new go to guy for reviews 😎😎😎😎😎😎

Those iron sights look NICE

Excellent review.

You just helped me fix my ssx

I had my subtitles on and every time he said novritch it would come up as a completely different word every time try it out its comedy

Great review. Just the facts. Greetings from the Netherlands

You can use ssx23 accessories on the TM MK23? like the Red dot plate...Great video btw.

Which one did he say was better

I just got my SSX-23 in the mail 2 days ago and already have to return it. Jams after very shot.
