Best Airsoft Guns for Beginners

number one they are neither here nor

there when it comes to being expensive

the aeg will be the cheapest this will

kind of be in the middle between the

three types of airsoft guns you have

available to you they are not extremely

reliable and that is again because the

way the gun operates it has a full

moving bolt and all these small internal

parts and the gas mechanism it uses it's

very susceptible to dirt and debris

getting and the gun and seizing up the

action but if you are the type of guy

that's looking for a gun to maybe you

know simulate a real steel gun or maybe

you're trying to do some real steel

firearm training with it or maybe heck

you want to do like some type of

cosplaying thing and you want a gun that

while is not a real gun is basically the

same thing as a real gun in terms of how

it operates and how it looks then I

would highly recommend going the route

of the gas blowback rifle because quite

honestly you can't get much closer to

how a real steel gun functions than a

gas blowback and lastly the third option

you guys have available to you is the

HPA gun or high pressure air these guns

are basically aegs but on steroids now

while they are easily the most expensive

type of option you have available too

and while I wouldn't really recommend

them as a beginner airsoft gun they are

an option available to you and if you

have the money and you're really willing

to spend it by all means go nuts but

basically what I'm going to do is just

tell you a little bit about HPA guns

here HPA

usually has money put this gun down this

it's like oh that's all teddy how HPA

works is you have an air tank that you

usually put on your back and think of it

as like a mini scuba tank this tank will

have a line that comes up top of it and

you kind of bring around front and you

plug it into the bottom of your airsoft

gun via a little line this air pressure

will then travel through the line up

into the gun and like on the aeg it has

like a little internal gearbox mech box

type system we usually call them engines

or

systems usually and like an aeg this

system or engine will create air

compression inside the device and when

the trigger is pulled it will shoot air

through the device through a nozzle

ultimately picking up a BB and to which

it will carry it down the barrel and out

the end of the gun I would not recommend

these guns as beginner guns for a number

of reasons number one they are easily

the most expensive type of gun out there

mainly because of how hard they are to

manufacture and all the stuff that goes

into you know making these guns work

you're going to need to get an air tank

align the regulator as well as the

internal system itself now that being

said these guns the best way I can

describe them our aeg is on steroids

the reason for that being you can do so

many crazy things in the HPA gun because

a lot of these guns are actually

controlled with an internal computer

that you can utilize to adjust the FPS

rate of fire and even firing modes like

you can make these things shoot

three-round burst five-round bursts you

can also make these guns shoot insanely

fast the trigger response and these

things are unrivaled so that's basically

the three types of airsoft guns all

summed up again i would recommend going

the route of the aeg for the reasons of

being mainly the guns are very

affordable and they are extremely

reliable

number three what qualities and features

should I look at and consider when going

to get my very first airsoft gun firstly

I would look at and consider the price

here's the reason why I say you go out

and buy a $500 HPA gun the first game

you run out there and you're having a

good time and then at the end of the day

you're like and I really didn't like

carrying around that big ol air tank on

my back and I didn't like having that

line connect my gun I'd like to get

something else well now you just spend

$500 on your airsoft gun where you could

have used that money to maybe buy some

attachments or upgrades for your gun but

then now you're stuck with a gun you

don't really you're not really

comfortable with and you don't really

enjoy all that much now if we go to the

opposite end of the spectrum and we go

okay I don't really want to spend a lot

of money my airsoft gun I think I can

get this nice fifty dollar Walmart gun

and take it out there and quite now that

gun may work for a little while but odds

are that guns not going to last very

long and it's not going to perform very

well so when you're getting out there

and you're playing with a whole bunch of

other guys that have like these you know

reasonably nice guns you're not gonna be

able to keep up with them in terms of

performance of your weapon and you know

your gun may even go down when you need

it the most so when you're looking at

purchasing an airsoft gun I would stick

close to the price range of between a

hundred and two hundred dollars but you

can expand that price range or decrease

it depending on how you know your money

situation is I would not go any lower

though than $90 and I would not go any

higher though than two hundred and fifty

dollars so the reason why you don't want

to spend a whole lot on a beginner gun

is because well you get out there and

play you don't really know you maybe

have like an idea of how you want to

play from like maybe watching a movie or

playing your favorite video game but you

really won't know how you like to play

until you actually get out there and do

it for yourself getting a

middle-of-the-road gun can be really

useful to you to help you decide what

type of gameplay works for you the best

so then you don't waste a whole bunch of

money and buying a gun that only is

situated and utilized for a specific

scenario in addition to that this gun

will ultimately become your backup gun

or maybe a spare parts gun because when

you get into the sport more and you get

more involved with it and you want to

upgrade and buy better guns maybe one of

your newer more advanced guns goes down

and you go oh what's this thing I got my

beginner gun that I got

the start and now I can use it as a

backup gun so in summer you can utilize

this gun to ultimately decide how you

like to play airsoft and what your

preferred style of play is and you can

utilize it in the future as a backup gun

flash spare parts gun that brings me to

my next talking point which is FPS which

stands for feet per second now this is

an important thing to consider because

here in the United States this is

generally the standards that we use to

judge how hard a gun shoots now at 90

percent of airsoft fields the legal FPS

limit that you can use on your guns

without them being subject to

restrictions or not even being allowed

for that matter is about 400 feet per

second if you're going to shooting under

400 feet per second your gun in like 90

percent of fields should be a-okay if

it's shooting over 400 feet per second

your gun may still be allowed at this

field but you may be subject to some

either some extreme regulations on your

gun as to how you can utilize it in

terms like maybe you can't shoot this

guy within 100 feet or something like

that or your gun might not even be

allowed at all so when you're looking at

online gun also take into consideration

where you're going to be playing now as

I was just saying if you do get an AEG

you're going to need to purchase a

battery and a charger you have to be

aware of what you're getting because a

lot of these guns come with a charger

and a battery and you go well great now

I don't have to worry about buying if

you're getting an Ag I don't have to

worry about buying those things

separately well here's the thing if you

get a gun that comes with a charger and

a battery

it may seem nice but do you know the

quality of the charger and battery so

what I would recommend going out and

doing would be don't pay attention to

all that stuff they add on to the gun to

make it seem like more enticing pay

attention to the attributes solely of

the gun and then go out and buy your own

battery go out and buy your own smart

charger and go out and buy your own

magazines that way you're getting

exactly what you want and exactly what

you need for your gun now as for what

kind of charger and battery you're going

to need that really depends on the kind

of gun you're utilizing so you might

need to go watch a couple other videos

on the specific gun you're purchasing to

determine which one you want but make

sure you read all the details and

description of your done before you

purchase all the aftermarket upgrades

and accessories or anything you want to

put onto your gun

number four what guns do I have access

to and really the simple answer to that

question is all of them the beauty about

airsoft is there are so many different

types of guns you have available to you

any real gun you can think of or any gun

you see in a movie or from your favorite

video game will likely be available in

airsoft guns form number one thing I

would recommend looking into is does

this gun take m4 / m16 style mags for

example this scar right here the scar L

it look does it look like an m4 doesn't

look like an m16 but it takes m4 / m16

style magazines and that is a general

trend you will find in the airsoft world

a lot of these different guns are

designed to take m4 / m16 style

magazines because they are so common and

this actually holds true for a lot of

real steel firearms as well also the

majority of airsoft players out there on

the field will be using a gun that takes

m4 flash m16 style magazines so say you

run out of ammo in the middle of a game

when you go hey can you talk to me

magazines odds are that your teammates

sitting over there is going to have

magazines that are going to fit inside

your gun if you have an 8k or a g36 for

example may not be able to talk to you

magazine now again this is a very minor

concern but you're not just something

else to consider but ultimately one of

the biggest things to consider when you

get a gun that takes m4 / m16 style

magazines is the advantage that you will

have when you go out to buy potentially

future airsoft guns that take the same

style magazines so in a sense you don't

have to go out and reinvent the wheel

and go get a whole bunch of different

magazines that will fit your new gun

odds are the gun the magazines that

we're using in your previous gun will

fit in your new guns so you don't have

to go out and buy a whole bunch of

different magazines in order to again

fit that new gun you got now as far as

gun brands go we would personally

recommend G&G; Elite Force kwa vfc G&P;

classic army and Lancer tactical these

are all gun brands that we have used and

can personally vouch for now there are

plenty of other great brands out there

to choose from that we did not list but

these are the ones that we've had good

is with or currently use and lastly if

you aren't really too dead set aren't

really too sure what type of gun you

want to go to I will steer you in the

route of going with an m4 now the reason

why I recommend an m4 is because they

are so upgradable a great example would

be one of my personal custom guns this

is one of my custom long range guns the

DMR platform this is an m4 / m16 style

gun it does take m16 style mags now if

you'll notice I put an upgraded stock on

the gun I've attached a rail and because

I have a successor accessory rail on the

top and this monolithic rail all the way

down the top of my gun I have all these

different options and different ways to

attach any potential accessory or part

on to my gun you can either purchase a

gun though might be a little more

expensive at first fully upgraded like

this one or you can get your beginner

gun and then as time progresses you can

add parts onto it and upgrade it for

yourself now again you can do this with

a lot of different other guns I'm not

saying you can't do that at all I'm not

trying to suede you away from going that

route but I do feel with an m4 system

you actually do have a lot more options

available too in terms of what you can

do to it

so it's because of those reasons I will

potentially steer you in the route of an

m4 for your first weapon platform to

choose from

all right guys so all that being said

here is my personal opinion on what I

think is the best beginner airsoft gun

and that gun is drumroll please the G&G;

combat machine Raider these guns are

absolutely fantastic for what they are

so this gun is beautifully priced at

only a hundred and fifty dollars so it

falls right between that one hundred to

two hundred dollar price range this gun

shoots between 350 and 370 feet per

second making it ideal FPS for being

legal at the field you will play it as

well as having you know enough energy

behind that shot to make sure that when

you're shooting your bb's are getting

significant range out of them this gun

is also extremely lightweight you can

hold it up which is one hand and that's

primarily because the body is composed

of high-quality polymer it's actually

very durable so that's how they're able

to cut down the price they're not using

a full metal body receiver but it's

still very strong and it can withstand

being dropped and beating around trust

me meet myself and a lot of the other

members of the team themselves have been

using this gun very extensively and in

very harsh conditions throughout playing

airsoft it's actually a lot of our team

members backup gun specifically because

a lot of the guys actually started out

utilizing this gun and to this day

they're still running very very well

there's nice thing too about the G&G;

combat machine Raider is that it comes

in both tan like the one you see here

and also in black in addition to that

you can also get both tan and black in a

long-barrel version or a CQB version

with a shortened barrel and I think the

CQB version even shoots a little softer

too so if you have a really restrictive

CQB field you can only play it you

should be covered there as well a little

disclaimer though when you purchase this

gun you do not get the tan holographic

sight this specific magazine or the

specific grip here this is an angle fork

on the foreign but the reason why I put

these attachments on is just to kind of

give you guys an example of what you can

potentially do to your gun to make it

look a lot cooler and perform a little

better as well so for example stuff you

could upgrade on this gun would be in

the pistol grip you could change the

stock out maybe remove your rear iron

sight and put some type of optic on it

it doesn't necessarily have to be an

EOTech can be any type of sight you like

you can put maybe a light or a laser on

this quadrate quad rail you have right

here or maybe even some type of grip so

you can use this gun to reach out to

medium

and you can utilize it in short ranges

so what this allows you to do is kind of

play around with it and decide what you

like to end up doing an airsoft so you

use this gun decide I don't really like

getting up close I like staying further

back then you maybe make your next

purchase a little more geared towards

long-range and game it's engagements

rather and/or on the flip side of that

coin maybe you like really like getting

up close and personal you can utilize

this gun for that as well

but you decide hit maybe for my next gun

I want this going to be a lot shorter

and you maybe like a PDW or submachine

gun because I really like to get in

close-quarter situations again you can

use this gun as a stepping stone to may

even get to that decision you want to

make in the future but yeah guys this is

my top recommendation for the best

beginner airsoft gun in my personal

opinion I just think everything is there

the price is right where it should be

the FPS is right where it should be you

got a whole bunch of different options

in terms of colors in terms of barrel

lengths in terms of different options

too you can get these guns and higher

quality versions ranging from 200 to 200

plus price ranges it's durable it's

reliable what can I say about it's just

a great gun overall a couple all these

great things for the fact that myself

and a lot of the other guys in the team

have had a very good experience with

this gun and you just have a great pick

for what I believe to be the best

beginner airsoft gun but guys that about
