There is always one key question On every shoppers mind - how cheap can I
get it? This is true of airsoft guns too. We all expect to be able to
get the best possible deal with anything we buy today. Fortunately
investing in an airsoft gun doesn't have to break the bank - you can get
some exciting models at very attractive prices.
The quality and features of your airsoft replica will depend on your budget. There are three basic types of airsoft gun - in order of expense they are:
Spring
These are the cheapest airsoft guns you can get. An internal spring shoots the pellet from the gun. They're single shot guns which means you'll need to cock the gun each time you want to fire one of the plastic bbs. This can get annoying at times but these guns can be purchased for just a few dollars.
Gas
Gas powered models add one immediate feature - automatic fire. With a gas powered airsoft rifle or pistol you don't need to cock the gun each time because it has a gas charge built in. These are far more powerful than most spring airsoft guns and slightly more expensive. This extra power comes at an added expense - the gas needs to be refilled. This can be achieved with co2 cartridges or a portable hand pump. For the added expense gas airsoft guns definitely feel more like the "real thing".

Electric
And finally the electric airsoft gun. Also known as AEG (Airsoft Electric Gun) these are the top of the range when it comes to airsoft guns. Each AEG has a tiny but very powerful motor inside which powers the firing mechanism. There is still a spring inside an AEG but this is controlled by the electronic motor to achieve high rates of fully automatic fire. One of the really neat things about this type of airsoft gun is that it can be loaded with miniature paintballs. A word of warning however - if a paintball breaks inside an AEG it can clog up the entire firing mechanism meaning you'll have to strip the gun down and clean it.
So with airsoft guns it's best not to focus on the word cheap. What you're looking for is value for money and the features that suit you most. You can buy an airsoft gun for less than $20. That doesn't make it cheap - just very good value for money. Regardless of the cost of your airsoft gun once your friends see your new "toy" they'll want one too!

"You can buy an airsoft gun for less than $20"
ReplyDeleteYes, you can, but it won't be a GOOD airsoft gun. Stuff below $20 is absolutely horrible - screw holes all over the place, internal parts made from baked crap and the whole thing looking off. Good stuff starts from roughly $100 and goes up from there.
As for springers, there are some exceptions, for example the Chinese M1014 shotguns made by Double Eagle. They're around $30-$40 IIRC, but they're copies of Tokyo Marui tri-shot models, which means that every shot you're launching 3 BBs that scatter. And that means you can nail your target easier.
Gas guns have a lot of quirks of their own. The Chinese copied some of them, but most of it is hit or miss. Yes, they made their clone of Maruzen MP5K not eat its internals on propane (at least nobody complained about that issue, they're busy battling shitty magazine o-rings), yes, their TM M1911 clones are pretty good (thanks to Tokyo Marui's foolproof design) and yes, they copied some obscure Japanese stuff that can't be bought anymore (Winchester M1892, GBB Mauser M712), but they're not big about quality. You're better off with Taiwanese companies - KJW copied some Japanese designs well and improved from there and KWA has a deal with KSC, making more durable copies of KSC guns (that don't destroy themselves on propane).
AEGs... Well, the Chinese started copying normal AEGs six years ago and learned some tricks (sometimes on their customers' cues - A&K was "convinced" to design a PKM replica from the ground up by a company from Poland and I guess that another Polish company had something to do with improved trigger mech and circuitry in JG guns), so if you need a project gun, they're pretty inexpensive (but still around $80, and shipping on top of that). Want something decent, go way up higher. You can't go wrong with the original Tokyo Marui or some more dedicated high-end Taiwanese companies (ie. G&P).
thanks for u're info ,,
