The CS Vengeance 3.8 Compact is the compact version of the CS Vengeance range, putting the aggressive slide cuts of the Vengeance line onto the 3.8" platform. Mechanically it's the same as the standard 3.8 Pro — same internals, same magazine platform, same performance. The difference is purely the external slide profile: aggressive window cuts and sharper styling versus the cleaner lines of the standard 3.8 Pro.
The choice between the 3.8 Pro and the CS Vengeance 3.8 Compact is a visual one. Both platforms perform identically in the field. Players who prefer the modern, competition-inspired aesthetic of the Vengeance line and want that look in a compact form factor will prefer this version.

Before you buy — essentials
| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| Green gas | Nuprol 2.0 recommended for reliable UK temperature performance |
| Spare magazines | One mag lasts roughly one engagement — most players carry 3+ |
| 0.25g BBs or heavier | 0.20g is too light for accurate GBB fire — use 0.25g minimum |
| Hi-Capa / 1911 holster | Hi-Capas fit most standard 1911/2011 holsters — note CS Vengeance slide cuts may not suit tight kydex moulds; soft or universal retention holsters are safest |
Common questions
UKARA: All realistic imitation firearms require UKARA or a valid defence. We verify at checkout. To register: play 3 games over 56+ days at Skirmish Wycombe Airsoft.
Magazine compatibility: All Vorsk Hi-Capa pistols use the standard Hi-Capa / 2011 platform — cross-compatible with TM, Army Armament and other Hi-Capa brands across the entire Vorsk range.
HPA conversion: Yes — pair with the AirTac Hi-Capa to M4 HPA adapter for consistent FPS output in cold UK conditions.
CO2: Works but accelerates internal wear. Use a CO2-rated magazine and replace O-rings regularly if you go that route.
Versus the 3.8 Pro: Same compact platform, different visual style. The 3.8 Pro has the classic Hi-Capa aesthetic. The CS Vengeance 3.8 Compact has the aggressive modern slide cuts. Performance is effectively identical.
