EMG × Salient Arms International BLU — Compact CO₂ Training Pistol (Carry Package)

Engineered for realistic training and everyday carry fidelity, the EMG Salient Arms International BLU Compact brings full-scale SAI ergonomics to the 6mm world. Meticulously licensed and designed with input from Salient Arms, this CO₂ mag Carry Package recreates the look, weight, and handling of the real SAI BLU — right down to individualized laser-engraved serial numbers and machined slide details. If you want a compact, authentic training pistol that performs like a competition-grade sidearm while offering field-ready convenience, this BLU Carry Package delivers.

Precision feel, purposeful design

The BLU’s lightweight, rugged injection-molded polymer frame is sculpted from SAI specifications for optimized ergonomics. A “stippled” texture and interchangeable backstraps let you dial in a positive, repeatable grip for any hand size or shooting posture. The framed-integrated 20mm accessory rail and beveled magazine well are practical touches that speed reloads and accept lights or lasers without fuss. To enhance balance and handling, SAI-brass colored removable backstrap and magazine release add a touch of weight where you want it.

Real-steel looks, airsoft performance

A machined slide with aggressive serrations, precision lightening cuts, and authentic SAI rollmarks creates a striking profile — one that’s nearly indistinguishable from the live-fire BLU. The threaded, engraved SAI-style outer barrel ships with an EMG convex thread cap for a finished, factory look and future suppressor or tracer attachments. Fiber-optic front sight and SAI rear sight are positioned for single-handed manipulation and are fully compatible with TM-spec sighting systems, so aftermarket optics and night sights are straightforward to fit.

Carry Package — built for the field

This Carry Package includes a second EMG/SAI CO₂ magazine so you can stay in the fight longer without hunting for spares. A hard-shell paddle holster with active retention is included for secure, practical carry — perfect for training scenarios, range days, or scenario skirmishes. Every BLU also carries a unique individualized serial number laser-engraved on the frame for authenticity and collectibility.

Internals and shooting characteristics

The EMG BLU is tuned to deliver reliable cycles on CO₂ magazines with consistent power and a satisfying, realistic recoil impulse. With an FPS window of 370–390, the BLU offers strong terminal performance while staying within typical field limits for many venues that accept CO₂ platforms. The engineering emphasis was clear: recreate the manual of arms, controls, and tactile feedback of the SAI BLU so training transfers cleanly between airsoft and real-steel handling.
