The Right Airsoft Gun for You (Choosing Your Airsoft Gun)


Depending on which game you are going to be playing you will need the right gun for the game. Some games require you to play with only a pistol others require you to play with a rifle. Knowing what airsoft gun to play with will give you the best advantage at winning the game of choice. It can also make a difference on where you play and what kind of player you are.

Playing games with a long-range distance, you will want something to meet the need of a long-range shot. Something like the AEG series is going to give you the best accuracy along with the speed needed for the long range. These are the most powerful of airsoft guns available. The Black Eagle M6 has a range of around 115 feet. It is accurate and a very powerful gun. A airsoft gun like this would be good for the loner range battles. The AEG series have so many possibilities that many purchase these guns as their primary weapon.



The Airsoft Sniper series is a gun that beginners find very interesting because the price is not that much more than a regular rifle, but many need a lot of adjustments or accessories before they can become useful in the game. The Sniper rifle is also not used very often and is not normally a primary weapon.

If you are a beginner many suggest using something that is low powered to start your experience with. The more you play and the more experience then the higher powered you will want to go with. The lower power guns also are the more affordable guns to choose from.

Spring Airsoft pistols, known as springers, are good sidearms to use but they are not commonly used in combat. Gas powered gives more coverage because it can be semi or fully automatic but it is not ideal for distance. The spring airsoft shotguns have more power than the pistol and make a great usable primary gun though this gun is not recommended for beginners. This shotgun can also make an excellent secondary gun if you have a sling to put over your shoulder.

In the end when choosing your airsoft gun you should go with how much experience you have with the game. The less experience the less power you are going to want to start with. If you are an experienced player the AEG series of rifles is going to give you the power along with the distance needed for most of the games that are commonly played.

And how do you choose airsoft for you?

  1. Great Review. Most of the DBoys AKS-74U we are shipping out chrono between 380-400FPS. We even had one clock in at 411FPS. All our tests are done with .20g TSD BBs. With Muzzle velocities like that you can comfortably use .23 and .25g BBs on the playfeild.

  2. Choosing an airsoft gun that will fit your needs and budget can be difficult. Obviously, the more expensive a gun is, the more powerful it is. Also, guns of a higher caliber (no pun intended) have more capabilities, but you may not need lots of options, depending on what you want to do with your gun.
