It’s easy to speak in general terms when you need to pick up a new piece of gear or an airsoft gun, and much more difficult to offer concrete advice.
For instance, if you’re looking for a starter airsoft gun that won’t break the bank but will perform out of its price class and allow for modding and expandability you can take advice to look for airsoft guns with “high-quality, full-metal or polymer components” and “upgradeable internals.”
You could also just look for one of these.
1.Lancer Tactical MK18 Gen 2 Mod 0 M4
This AEG boasts a lightweight nylon polymer body that is as easy to handle as it is tough. It has plenty of space along the rail over the receiver and barrel, with flip-up, adjustable sights, so you can add an optic if you so choose. It also features a rotary hop-up and adjustable sights so you can really dial in your shots.
As far as internals, it features a Version 2 fully upgradeable gearbox with low friction 8mm ball bearings. The price is the most attractive feature – you can find these below $175.
2.G&G Combat Machine 16 Raider
There’s not much we can say about the G&G CM16 Raider that someone else hasn’t already said. Highly moddable, highly versatile, affordable, and with high-quality components and plenty of space for attachments, it’s an excellent choice for a beginner airsoft gun.
3.G&G ARP9
The G&G ARP9 takes what made the CM16 great as an M4-replica light infantry rifle and makes it even better for CQB.
The ARP9 is lightweight and immensely maneuverable, with one of the shortest barrels among AEGs. This thing handles more like an airsoft pistol with a stock than an AEG.
Lightweight, made with high-quality parts and internals, upgradeable, expandable, and moddable, the ARP9 is one of the top choices in the game for CQB.
4.Action Army AAP-01
The Action Amy AAP-01 is one of the most popular airsoft pistols in the game, with blazing fast rates of fire that’ll drain most magazines in less than a second on full-auto.
Ergonomic, fast, reliable, and lots of fun to shoot (plus with plenty of room for attachments and upgrade parts) the AAP-01 is one of the best options for a sidearm.
5.EF Glock 19X Green Gas
Since you’ll need a sidearm, you can’t go wrong with a Glock replica. Ergonomic, light, and smooth shooting, the EG Green Gas Glock 19X replica is a real winner.
Plus, there are tons of Glock airsoft accessories out there (like holsters and magazines) so you won’t have a hard time finding a setup that you can really appreciate.
