Airsoft Guns Under £300

If you are looking for a serious speed demon of an AEG, the WELL PRO WE06 PPK-20 Compact SMG AEG - Advanced Version is without equal in its price range. Based on the most recent prototype of the PPK-20 SMG, an AK-derived SMG design, the WE06 boasts both M-LOK and 20mm Picatinny accessory attachment interfaces, ambidextrous fire controls and a side folding retractable stock based on that of the AM-17, another advanced Kalashnikov Concern prototype.

On the inside, the WE06 Advanced Version is absolutely insane. Featuring 9:1 ratio high-speed steel gears with a dual sector gear, a programmable optical MOSFET and a 20K RPM high-speed Neodymium magnet motor, this beast kicks out an insane 25 rounds per second with an 11.1V battery! Not content with building an affordable SMG with minigun-like speed, WELL PRO saw fit to install a 6.02mm tightbore inner barrel to improve accuracy and FPS, meaning this lightweight, compact platform can still upset the enemy at range. If you like cutting edge modern SMGs with a unique look and a positively incredible rate of fire, this is what you need!

If you're in search of a slick, modern AK to complete your PMC loadout, the Specna Arms SA-J06 EDGE™ AK-74 Tactical AEG w/Gate ASTER MOSFET is one to watch. This full metal AK AEG boasts a large proportion of steel in its build and is rocking an M-LOK/20mm Picatinny hybrid handguard, 20mm railed gas block and M4/AR-15 buffer tube, sidestepping the usual utilitarian AK ergonomics for vast handling and modularity improvements. 

Inside, things get even better! The ORION reinforced gearbox is present, equipped with an aluminium piston head and cylinder head, a steel-toothed polycarbonate piston and reinforced steel gears. This superb, hard-wearing gearbox is backed up by the advanced Gate ASTER MOSFET, one of our favourite electronic trigger units offering absolutely loads of programmable functions via the Gate Control Station App along with vast improvements in rate of fire and trigger response. If you're planning a tactical AK build, the Specna Arms SA-J06 EDGE™ AK-74 Tactical AEG w/Gate ASTER MOSFET will save you a lot of work!

If you're after a truly demonic CQB platform which weighs less than a packet of crisps and shoots like a minigun, you must be talking about the G&G Armament ARP9 3.0P Enhanced Combat Machine AEG! The latest version of G&G's CQB game-changer, the ARP9 3.0P, is lighter and more affordable than ever before.

Like the previous versions, the 3.0P is 11.1V LiPo ready straight out of the box, and its internals are based on an enhanced G&G V2 gearbox design, dubbed the MIG (MOSFET Integrated Gearbox). The MIG features G&G's new MOSFET system, which is smaller and more efficient than ever before, and a QD spring guide to allow for easy power tuning. Other innovations include a new side-folding stock system, known as the CHFS, and a new double-feed magazine. The other awesome G&G pre-upgraded internals remain, including the epic 25,000 RPM high-speed motor, ready to provide the thunderous rate of fire the ARP9 is known for!

As far as CQB primaries go, the G&G Armament ARP9 3.0P Enhanced Combat Machine AEG is in a league of its own, honed specifically for challenging environments with a focus on performance and ease of use. A platform no one wants to face down with in the tight confines of a CQB site, the ARP9 3.0P is the game-changing SMG everyone is happy to see on their team!

If you held off on the original WE06 PPK-20 because of its lack of steel, the WELL PRO WE06 PPK-20 Compact SMG AEG w/ Eshooter MOSFET; Full Metal is the one to go for! Based on the most recent prototype of the PPK-20 SMG, an AK-derived SMG design, the WE06 boasts both M-LOK and 20mm Picatinny accessory attachment interfaces, ambidextrous fire controls and a side folding retractable stock based on that of the AM-17, another advanced Kalashnikov Concern prototype.

This, being the "full metal" version is also rocking a steel flash hider and a steel trunnion block along with a stamped steel receiver and top cover, giving it the appropriate hefty feel for the authentic replica experience. Inside, we have a unique version 3 gearbox-derived shell with a quick change spring system, a steel 18:1 ratio gearset running on 8mm slide bearings, a type 2 cylinder, a polymer piston with a full rack of steel teeth and an EShooter programmable MOSFET to top it off. The EShooter 'FET provides electrical efficiency improvements, battery protection and cycle completion along with programmable fire modes and adjustable pre-cocking. If you love the styling of the WE06 PPK-20 Compact SMG but have been waiting for the full metal version, here you go!

An Airsoft 6mm BB AEG Light Machine Gun, designed for a Support Role, and is based on the Russian Built RPK-74. The weapon features a real wood Stock and Handguard, with a full Alloy Body and Internals, with a Polymer Pistol Grip and Imitation Bakelite Magazine.

If you like the looks and ambidextrous functionality of the ARCTURUS E3 Rifle but you prefer a shorter package, the E3 Carbine is the same thing but with a 10.5-inch outer barrel, making it ideal for close-quarters use, and those who like to play aggressively and close ground with the enemy! Like the E3 Rifle, the E3 Carbine boasts full metal construction, well thought out pre-upgraded ARCTURUS internals, an intimidating looking compensator and M-LOK/Picatinny hybrid handguard up front.

The impressive internal spec includes a 6.03mm steel tightbore inner barrel, rotary HOP-up unit, microswitch trigger and a thoughtfully built gearbox with low friction components. The E3 Carbine is perfect for any aggressive player who wants all the options when it comes to accessories, and will make use of the wealth of QD sling points across this modern M4/AR-15 platform!

If you are looking for something to keep heads down at an outdoor skirmish, or something to upgrade to a DMR in the future, the CM.068D is perfectly suited to the task! This M4/AR15 platform AEG sports full metal construction, a 6.03mm tight bore inner barrel, long quad 20mm Picatinny rail handguard, and extended controls, but the real icing on the cake is its silent piston and cylinder heads, which significantly muffle the gearbox noise. This rifle is a few choice upgrades away from DMR capability, but performs surprisingly well as it is!

If you're searching for a 416-style AEG with pre-upgraded internals which won't hinder your mobility, hit the field with the Evolution E-416 CQB Carbontech™ AEG; ETS II ETU! Superbly built with a Carbontech engineering polymer receiver, alloy outer barrel and CNC aluminium handguard and buffer tube, the E-416 is inspired by one of the most prolific rifles serving with special forces units worldwide, from the SAS to Japanese SFGp and US Navy SEALs, along with many, many more!

Inside, the E-416 CQB is well-equipped, featuring a TM-spec V2 gearbox with 18:1 steel gears running on 8mm oil-less steel bushings, a polymer piston with a steel tooth rack, a quick-change spring guide, and a sector gear delayer to maintain reliable feeding at high speeds. Also inside is a 6.01mm tightbore inner barrel, which boosts air efficiency and accuracy along with the ETS II programmable MOSFET/ETU, offering a wealth of programmable fire mode options while keeping your gearbox running at maximum efficiency.

If you're working on a special forces-inspired loadout and need a primary with the elite look, the Evolution E-416 CQB Carbontech™ AEG; ETS II ETU is a fine choice. A solid build, which isn't too heavy, packed with pre-upgraded internals, the E-416 is ready to be dressed up special forces style!

If you miss the days of simple yet reliable AEGs like the G&G Combat Machine, the CM16 STEALTH 556 Combat Machine AEG brings proven Combat Machine internals to an exciting new format! Made predominantly from high density polymer with an alloy outer barrel, alloy buffer tube and steel trim parts, the CM16 STEALTH 556 is uniquely modern on the outside with an enhanced receiver, M-LOK/20mm Picatinny hybrid handguard and a new generation of G&G ergonomic furniture.

Inside, the CM16 Stealth is based around the version 2 gearbox, equipped with 18:1 ratio steel gears, an 18K RPM motor and a true quick-change spring system. The new G&G quick-change spring system means you no longer have to remove the gearbox from the receiver to switch springs, making power tuning easier than ever before. Also inside is G&G's latest rotary HOP-up design, providing superb airseal and the usual rotary HOP-up perks of easier adjustment in fine increments and improved setting retention under the vibrations of full auto fire. Our test example showed incredible consistency on the chrono (1-3 FPS deviation at maximum), pointing to a well-built gearbox which should provide very tight groupings downrange.

While it may not have an ETU or anything super fancy on the inside, the CM16 STEALTH 556 Combat Machine AEG is focused on reliability and will probably keep running for decades, like owners of the eternal original Combat Machine experienced with what is probably Airsoft's most reliable AEG. If you're looking for the perfect backup or loaner platform which will never let you down, the G&G Armament CM16 STEALTH 556 is the one!

The EVOLUTION S Recon M EMR S ETS is another excellent AR15 platform offering a range of top-notch qualities, a great choice for the player looking to tech-up their set-up.

The Speedsoft style doesn't always need to be bright colours and HPA tanks. Sometimes, it looks like a gun straight out of a futuristic COD game! The ARCTURUS X C.A.T. Versatile-10S AK AEG FE™ has an extremely unique design and equally unique ARCTURUS Centaur V2 gearbox. The enhanced internals and FE™ programmable MOSFET/ETU system make for some impressive shooting, too.

This rifle is clearly based on the Russian AK rifle; however, it is a far cry from the original Kalashnikov platform. With its extremely skeletonised design and modern style, the only tell that it's an AK is its curved magazine! The skeletonised M-LOK /20mm Picatinny hybrid handguard allows for plenty of accessories while being super fast to steer between targets thanks to its ultra-low weight.

Plus, its snag-reduced receiver design features ambidextrous controls to ensure your weapon handling is super slick, whether you're left or right-handed. The C.A.T. Versatile series from ARCTURUS offers fully modular platforms in which you can change the handguard, stock and even the magazine well! The versatile part of the name really makes sense...

The EVOLUTION S Recon M EMR S ETS is another excellent AR15 platform offering a range of top-notch qualities, a great choice for the player looking to tech-up their set-up.

An absolute pleasure to hold and shoot. Don't let the budget price tag put you off. This AK is rock solid and every shot is lovely and crisp. The wood is genuinely real and finished to a high quality with no fraying or splintering on any edges. 

If you collect modern military replicas and don't have the service rifle of the Taiwanese military, G&G has your back! The GTW91-P T91 Assault Rifle AEG is part of G&G's GT Advanced training rifle range, equipped with a magazine cutoff system which stops the rifle from firing when the included magazine runs dry. This is the -P version, constructed with a high density polymer receiver but otherwise matching the metal-to-polymer proportions of the real T91.

Inside, we're treated to G&G's G2 MOSFET and ETU system, the refined version of the original G2, which is more compact than ever before, far more resistant to faults, and now includes pre-cocking along with the usual 3-round burst and 5-round burst programmable options. The gearbox itself is a reinforced V2 with 18:1 steel gears running on 8mm brass bushings, a padded piston head, double o-ring nozzle and quick-change spring system. G&G's much lauded 25K Orange IRFIT high-speed motor delivers the speed needed for snappy double taps, and a quick-change spring system makes power tuning a breeze.

Also inside is G&G's latest rotary HOP-up unit design, a superb quality rotary with tactile clicks as you adjust, a big improvement over the previous gear-style unit. If you're after a rare rifle with AR-15 lineage but packed with perks and ready to rock on 11.1V LiPo batteries, the G&G Armament GTW91-P T91 Assault Rifle AEG should be your next primary!
