Guns, Guns, Guns - Back to Basics - Chapter 3

Lets talk about guns. We were all once new to Airsoft. It's cool to imagine a baby being born with an Airsoft Gun, but it isn't realistic. The point is, at some point we all asked the age old question - which Airsoft Gun should I buy?

This question alone is exactly why we don't believe in pressure selling. Our job, as an Airsoft retailer is not to tell you which airsoft gun is most reliable, or which airsoft gun is the best - our job is to give you the facts, and help you to decide which airsoft weapons are right for you.

So, this is where we discuss some of the most popular airsoft guns, but the key thing to remember above all else is that it's up to you.

Do you want a realistic weapon and feels and looks like real steel? Do you want a lightweight airsoft gun to save the aching arms after a day on the field? We always try to provide as much information as possible to help you make an informed decision, but if there's ever anything you want to know that isn't covered in our descriptions then please contact us and we will be happy to answer your questions.

Lets begin with the most popular choices amongst our new customers. New airsoft players tend to want something reliable and robust with an attractive price tag. Here's some of the most popular beginner airsoft rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles and pistols:

The Nuprol Sierra Storm Tactical Charlie is one very popular shotgun. It is relatively new to the airsoft market, and we have found it to be great quality - especially since it will only set you back £64.95! Being a tri-shot shotgun, with a tactical RIS rail, fitted iron sights and including 3 shotgun shells are just some of the key points for this airsoft shotgun.

Moving on, we will take a look at the Raven Hi Capa 5.1 Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol. This is a very popular choice for beginners, thanks to its realistic feel and low price point of only £94.95.

This airsoft pistol is fitted with a tactical under rail, perfect for adding a light, laser or any other standard 20mm accessory you deem necessary. The included, modern iron sights, textured grip and included spare Co2 parts the Raven Hi Capa 5.1 airsoft pistol is a popular choice for old and new airsoft players.

The airsoft rifles we sell vary in price from the lowest being £129.95 all the way to £482.95, but as we are concentrating on beginners right now we will look at the most popular choice for beginners wanting to keep the cost down. The JG Works MP5 A4 AEG Airsoft Rifle is only £129.95 and is built to last, with strong polymer.

Some of the key points of this airsoft rifle are the ambidextrous design, large battery space, front and rear sling mounts, included 200 round mag and slide side hop adjustment to modify the range, accuracy and performance of the weapon. We find amongst our customers that this is a popular choice of primary airsoft gun for beginners, as well as being popular as a back-up weapon for more experienced players, thanks to its reliability.

Finally, lets take a look at a popular sniper rifle for beginners. One of our most sold airsoft snipers is the JG Works VSR Bar 10 G-Spec, which not only comes with a magazine, top rail, speedloader and barrel extension, but also comes with a rifle scope! 

This airsoft sniper is robust, reliable, accurate and easily upgradable, and at only £164.95 it is a great starting point for all airsoft players that want a go at sniping.
