Glock-18 | Bunsen Burner (Factory New)

Skin overview

Glock-18 | Bunsen Burner is a Mil-Spec pistol finish with a blue patina on the slide, where polished areas form a graphic flame design. In Factory New the teal-to-cyan gradient is even and the flame outlines are crisp against the darker slide. The grey frame stays neutral and keeps the attention on the blue top half.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The slide carries a blue patina that shifts from deep teal at the rear to bright cyan near the muzzle. On its side a stylised flame design runs forward, drawn in dark navy outlines with brighter blue tongues inside. The frame, trigger guard and textured grip remain a plain light grey polymer that contrasts with the coloured slide. On worn copies the patina goes first on the muzzle face, the front corners and the upper edges of the slide, and the rear serrations and ejection port edges follow.

The patina is uniform across the slide and the gradient from teal to cyan has no interruptions. The flame outlines are sharp and the muzzle face keeps its bright colour. In game the slide looks clean and saturated at any distance. The grey frame and grip show no marks.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear range, since a low float in a grade keeps the muzzle and slide edges cleaner.
• Look at the muzzle face and the front corners of the slide, as these lose the patina first.
• Make sure the flame outlines on the slide side are intact on Field-Tested and more worn copies.
• Check applied stickers and the name tag, because they change the look of a simple two-tone finish.
