-Airsoft Electric Rifles-

Airsoft is becoming increasingly popular world wide.  After its humble beginnings in Asia – Japan, and Taiwan mostly, once the sport hit U.S. shores, it exploded.  Even though the sport is most popular here, because of its origins and the cost of labor in the far east, most Airsoft Rifles and Airsoft Pistols are still manufactured overseas – Especially AEGs.

AEGs or Automatic Electric Guns, have become the mainstay of the American Airsoft gaming communities.  With their realistic appearances and actions combined with amazing accuracy and blistering rate of fires, going into a large scale Airsoft battle with just a handgun is tantamount to suicide.  While Tokyo Marui was the early King of the AEGs their reign of dominance has ended.  Tokyo Marui still builds excellent Airsoft Rifles and AEGs, but other manufacturers such as Classic Army have begun using more realistic weight components and actions.  Also, most Tokyo Marui guns are designed to be modified and tinkered with, while companies like Classic Army are building their Air-soft Electric Guns to be battle ready out of the box.

The most common AEGs found in the sport today are the MP5, M-15, and M-16 models, followed by the ubiquitous AK-47 and Uzi / scorpion style guns.  These Airsoft guns go beyond being toys – they are firing replica models correct down to minute details.  Because in the sport of Airsoft, bullet weight and velocity are of little importance, you don’t have to consider caliber or stopping power into your choice of weapons… you can just pick the style that you think looks the best to you and go with that!

           Choosing between Several AEGs

Because Discount Airsoft Warehouse doesn’t stock the cheap guns, even the Airsoft AEGs at the bottom end of the pricing structure are find guns that will give you great service and all the fun you can handle.  That being said, there is a difference in quality between the “Good, Better, and Best” categories we offer.  If you plan on shooting on a regular basis and are planning on only buying one AEG this year, you should consider getting something from the Better or Best categories.
