Best Beginner Airsoft Guns

If you have been keeping an eye out for a submachine gun with a modern twist, you can give those peepers a rest, you have found it! Introducing the M917C Double Eagle UTR45, a fresh new SMG with a fresh look, combining the AR15's familiar and comfortable fire controls with SMG.45 style magazines and a side folding pistol stabilising brace style stock with a massive battery compartment. The UTR45 isn't just about those jaw-dropping looks, it also sports the ultra-flexible Double Eagle FALCON fire control system within, together with a 6.1mm "air cushion" inner barrel to provide impressive stability and accuracy.

If you love an interesting AK platform, the Double Bell MD.65 AIMS AK47/74 AEG should get you going! This full metal AK AEG platform is patterned after the real steel MD.65 AIMS, a licence-built version of the AKM made in Romania for the Army of the Socialist Republic of Romania. As with many full metal AK platforms, a large part of the external build takes the form of stamped steel, giving you the appropriate weight and heft for an authentic replica. 

What makes this AK really interesting is its apparent favour by Western Private Military Contractors during the Global War on Terror era, being seen in the hands of British, American, Australian and many other nationalities carrying out close protection duties. This was due in part due to its affordability and local ammo availability but also its super simple yet effective skeleton folding stock, making it the fastest full-size AK platform to bring from stashed in the footwell to engaging the enemy. Also present on the Double Bell build is the iconic Romanian "Dong" handguard, constructed from real wood to complete the AIMS silhouette. If you seek an AK which sidesteps the default AK look, the Double Bell MD.65 AIMS AK47/74 AEG is exactly that!

A well built and well thought out Airsoft Electric replica of the AR-10 platform, which offers tough construction and a wealth of top-tier features such as a Quick Change Spring, Microswitch Trigger, MOSFET and other high-quality internals to make this perfect for beginners and experts alike.

If you're looking for a lightweight beginner platform and you like sneaky SMGs, this is the one to go for! The Golden Eagle SMG-5 SD6 AEG Submachine Gun Replica is styled after an iconic SMG design we all know and love, constructed from high density polymer so you can run around all day without feeling the burn.

While it may be cheap, the Golden Eagle SMG-5 SD6 doesn't compromise on build quality, being constructed from strong high-density polymer with a matt finish indicative of fibre reinforcement with an aluminium suppressor at the front. Inside, you will find an alloy version 2 gearbox with full Tokyo Marui compatibility, boasting 7mm ball-bearing bushings for a smoother gearbox sound. A 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel is also present, a nice bonus to squeeze a bit more accuracy and FPS out of the platform. If you want a suppressed subgun to match your sneaky playstyle, the Golden Eagle SMG-5 SD6 fits the bill but won't break the bank!

If you like uniquely styled compact pistols, the Armorer Works VX9 Mod 1 EU19 GBB Pistol should be right up your street! This full metal GBB pistol is based on the EU19 design but dressed to impress with a P80-inspired enhanced frame and unique ported slide. For the price, this is one of the best-looking GBB pistols out there in our opinion!

The P80 frame is one of the most popular upgrades for real steel Glocks, offering an undercut trigger guard, extended beavertail and a full 20mm Picatinny frame rail, enhancing ergonomics and offering broader compatibility with flashlights and laser aiming modules. Up top, the unique Armorer Works slide boasts angled front and rear serrations, anti-glare texture on the top, stylish ports at the front and weight-reduction cuts for a slick, custom look. Inside the slide, the internals are WE EU-series spec, meaning an extra-large blowback unit which provides violent recoil, much heavier than most of its rivals.

The VX9 is Armorer Works' "compact" offering, ideal for those who want to carry a sidearm which is a bit smaller and lighter than "service pistol" sized platforms but still packs a punch when you need it. Whether it will be your first sidearm or you're smitten by its distinctive looks, the Armorer Works VX9 Mod 1 EU19 GBB Pistol will definitely treat you right!

An electric powered 6mm Airsoft gun styled off the slightly longer member of the AR36 Family, the AR36K. It features an elongated handguard which is excellent for battery space, and a folding stock for CQB environments.

If you want something a bit more stylish as a sidearm, VORSK must have come to your attention by now! The EU18 Gold Match GBB pistol follows the usual VORSK formula of taking a tried and tested GBB pistol design and spicing it up with some key aesthetic changes. The EU18 Gold Match follows the same external design as its EU18 Solid slide but with matt gold accents, making the pistol stand out and giving it the classy looks of a decked-out race gun.

As with VORSK's other EU-series offerings, the EU18 Gold Match is compatible with common EU series magazines from VORSK, RAVEN or WE and is kitted out with a 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel straight out of the box, promising improved accuracy potential and a slight raise in FPS when compared to its rivals. If you seek a more elegant looking EU series which sidesteps the usual pedestrian EU series looks, the EU18 Gold Match would be a fine choice!

The Army Armament R604 is a Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol based on the Hi-Capa frame, which is known for its good gas performance due to large Magazines. The lightweight Slide also benefits the Pistol's performance, by having less weight to move around, giving it a snappy Trigger Response and better cold weather performance than standard.

An AR platform replica which is built from very tough High-Density Nylon Fibre Polymer, and features a MOSFET, Quick Change Spring and Microswitch Trigger, making this the absolute perfect Starter Gun.

If you seek a compact CQB platform with a solid full metal build, the Delta Armory DA-A03-EGL ALPHA™ SilentOps CQB M4/AR-15 AEG should be on your shopping list! This ALPHA™ line AEG is equipped with Delta's latest programmable ETU/MOSFET system, known as the EAGLE™. 

The EAGLE™ transforms this already impressive little beast with a range of programmable fire modes, including 3 or 5-round burst mode, binary trigger, sniper delay, AUG mode, semi-auto only, adjustable precocking and adjustable trigger sensitivity. Being electronic, the trigger will never suffer a dreaded semi-auto lockup, making the DA-A03-EGL a fantastic CQB tool for fire supremacy. When it comes to outdoors, this little menace ain't no slouch! The pre-installed 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel and rotary HOP-up unit ensure it can still do the job when engaging targets at long range. 

A generously equipped platform with full compatibility with aftermarket V2 gearbox upgrade parts, the DA-A03-EGL is one of the best-value SBR-style AR platforms out there currently. Mobile, agile and hostile despite its realistic full-metal build, the Delta Armory DA-A03-EGL ALPHA™ SilentOps CQB M4/AR-15 AEG is ready for any challenge that awaits it!

The Army Armament R603 is a Hi-Capa Platform Airsoft Gas Blowback Pistol, made to a realistic standard using Alloy for the externals, with the exception of a Polymer Stippled Pistol Grip. If you're looking for a compact and deadly sidearm that can perform in cold weather, than the R603 will be right up your street.

If you like a classic with a side of class, you will love the RAVEN R92F in silver! This Gas Blowback pistol boasts full metal construction and replicates the US Army's standard issue sidearm from 1985-2017 with a stylish silver finish. The R92F is an iconic pistol design which has been through multiple iterations since its conception and has been featured in innumerable video games, movies and TV shows.

For a full metal GBB pistol, the R92F is remarkably affordable and also boasts a pre-installed 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel to provide the edge when it comes to accuracy. Whether you run a US Army loadout or you're into iconic, timeless pistol designs, the R92F is a perfect fit!

Are you looking for a reliable M4 to help you in your skirmishes, or maybe you're a veteran looking for an affordable AEG to pimp out with your own upgrades, if so, the Specna Arms SA-C25 CORE™ HAL¹ ETU™ M4/AR-15 AEG is exactly what you're searching for!

This SA-C25 is rocking Specna's HAL¹ ETU, boasting programmable fire controls and several quality-of-life functions built-in, all for barely more money than the original. The HAL¹ allows you to select binary trigger, AUG mode and sniper delay instead of semi-auto and semi-auto lock, 3-round burst or 5-round burst instead of full auto. Also available are 5 levels of trigger sensitivity adjustment, 6 levels of adjustable pre-cocking, active braking and a low battery voltage alarm. Like the original, the HAL¹ equipped version also has a 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel, giving it above-average accuracy potential and a slight rise in FPS from the same strength spring. Impressive stuff for a beginner-level price point!

If you are looking to dominate the field with incredible range and upgrade-ability then look no further. The G608-4 AR36V is one of the longest AR36 variants with an exposed outer barrel system.

If you are a fan of bullpup rifles and you don't have an AUG in your collection you are missing out! The Army Armament R904 AUG Para is the short-barrelled version of the famous AUG assault rifle which has served with the militaries of Austria, Australia and New Zealand, and was also wielded by Karl, mercenary companion to Hans Gruber during their attempted take over of Nakatomi Headquarters in the 1988 movie Die Hard.

The R904 boasts full metal construction, a pre-installed MOSFET and an integrated 3x optical sight, and is a more modern iteration of the AUG with plenty of 20mm rails for the addition of accessories. Join the elite, equip yourself with an AUG and benefit from the improved handling, short length and long barrel of this fantastic Airsoft AEG version of a near perfect real world design!

If you are looking for a lil CQB monster AEG but shorty AR15's don't float your boat, the CM.041PDW is worth a look! Constructed from strong alloy in all the places the real one is, with a high torque motor and impressive performance right from the box, you can dominate the CQB field in a classier manner than ARP people with this classic PDW from Cyma. 

If you are looking for a pump action shotgun to lay down the law in CQB this is one of our favourites! The CM.360M M3 Super 90 from CYMA is a spring-powered pump action shotgun which uses the Tokyo Marui Tri-shot system, meaning with each trigger pull you get 3 BBs headed downrange from 3 separate inner barrels, improving hit probability by providing a shotgun-like spread pattern.

We have seen Tri-shot shotguns before, and even M3 Super 90 style ones, so what makes this so special? Well, it is full metal, giving it a solid feel in the hands and a decent but not over-the-top weight, and CYMA has added a few frills to this ancient TM design to add extra realism for those that seek it, most notably the moving mock bolt carrier and charging handle, which has been omitted from Airsoft M3 Super 90 shotguns until now. If you have a taste for realism and you need a spring tri-shot to expand your arsenal this would be a great pick!

If you are looking for a GBB pistol with a style all of its own, the VORSK VM9 will do the trick! This full metal GBB pistol is styled to impress, with a vented slide with angular cuts in classic VORSK style and a 20mm Picatinny rail on the rear of the slide, ready for a red dot sight. This pistol is based on the B9 shape, but VORSK has done its usual glow-up to give this classic pistol design a sprinkle of the 21st century tactical aesthetic, adding a lengthened frame rail, raised light-enhancing iron sights and a skeletonised hammer to spice things up a notch.

Inside, the usual VORSK formula of a 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel and gear adjustable HOP-up unit is present and set to impress, granting improved accuracy over standard bore barrels and surprising consistency for a pistol in this price range. Also present is the Raven/VORSK standard 12mm CW female threaded barrel, meaning tracer units or suppressors are a go with the VORSK pistol thread adapter. If your sidearm tastes are unconventional and you want something that takes a walk on the wild side, this is the one to go for!

If bullpup AUGs weren't unique enough, get a load of this! This AUG carbine is jam packed with features, customisation options as well as having a compact design perfect for those tight CQB encounters. With full metal construction to complete the look, what's not to love?
