Best Beginner Airsoft Guns

If you're just getting into Airsoft and prefer a military-style primary, set your sights on the NUPROL Delta Pioneer SOPMOD M4/AR-15 AEG! This CQBR (Close Quarters Battle Receiver) style replica is constructed predominantly from high density polymer with an alloy outer barrel, front sight and handguard mounting hardware along with steel trim parts. This keeps the build lightweight and ideal for younger skirmishers or those with a speedy, aggressive playstyle!

Though it may be mostly polymer, this isn't the usual shiny "super-soaker" tier stuff; this is nylon fibre-reinforced polymer, the kind that may well outlast alloy when it comes to endurance. Inside, we are equipped with an alloy version 2 gearbox with 18:1 ratio steel gears running on 8mm ball bearing bushings and driven by a 21K RPM high torque motor; a competitive feature set for a platform at this price!

The inner barrel is also a 6.03mm tightbore paired with a 50° HOP-up bucking and rotary HOP-up unit, ensuring you can reach out and engage at longer ranges with an accuracy advantage using high quality BBs. If your tastes dictate a military style primary and you need something cheap but effective to get started, the NUPROL Delta Pioneer SOPMOD M4/AR-15 AEG is a fantastic choice!

If you're looking for a full metal sidearm with a custom aesthetic, the Delta Armory P01 Barracuda EU17 Gas Blowback Pistol is a fantastic choice.

A sophisticated alternative to plane Jane EU17 pistols, the P01 is also equipped with a 12mm CCW female threaded barrel, ready for a thread adapter and a tracer or suppressor along with a 20mm Picatinny frame rail for your laser or tactical flashlight. The frame is the Gen.3 type, often favoured over more modern alternatives thanks to its low-profile mag release being practically immune from accidental mag drops under pressure. Inside, we are also treated to a 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel, giving an accuracy advantage straight out of the box. 

If you aren't into the boring military/police pistol look, the P01 was made with you in mind. Supplied in a hard polymer pistol case complete with internal wave foam, the Delta Armory P01 Barracuda EU17 Gas Blowback Pistol is not only superb value but shoots like a champ too!

If you have unconventional tastes and fancy a hybrid of the best of both the civilian and military firearms worlds, check out the Delta Armory R15 FREYA™ Gen.2 MK18 M4/AR-15 AEG. This full metal M4/AR-15 platform is rocking the extremely popular MK18 MOD.1 quad rail up front with the unique skeletonised receiver FREYA™ receiver, based on the real steel GrandPower Firearms R15 FREYA™ rifle. This is the Gen.2 version, boasting the best combination of Delta Armory internals yet!

Internally, the Gen.2 FREYA™ MK18 features CNC steel 16:1 high-speed gears, a CNC steel cylinder and spring guide, a CNC aluminium piston head and cylinder head and a high torque motor to top it off. These parts join the usual Delta Armory SHS reinforced tappet plate, SHS piston and 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel, resulting in an impressive down-range effect and a significant improvement over the original but still respectable FREYA™ Gen.1 series.

If you love a strange combination with an advanced ETU, the Delta Armory R15 FREYA™ Gen.2 MK18 M4/AR-15 AEG should put a smile on your face.

While it is incredible as it comes, the TP22 can also provide host to a massive range of mission essential accessories, from tracer units and suppressors to micro red dot sights, aiming lasers and tactical flashlights thanks to its combination of a 14mm CCW male threaded barrel, 20mm frame rail and red dot mounting plate. Almost all of its controls are ambidextrous, making the TP22 great for left or right-handed shooters. If you're not fixed to real-world designs and prefer a pistol designed and built for pure performance, the Novritsch TP22 Gas Blowback Pistol belongs in your holster!

If you're into super-slick modern styling with a sneaky edge, the Delta Armory R15 FREYA™ Gen.2 Silent Ops DMR M4/AR-15 AEG should be right up your street! An innovative hybrid of the FREYA Gen.2 skeletonised receiver and internals with the Silent Ops DMR front end, this beast marries stealth and speed, resulting in a unique build which handles fantastically in-game.

Internally, the Gen.2 FREYA™ is better than ever, boasting the perfect combination of the EAGLE™ programmable MOSFET with the best bits of Delta's ETU series internals. These include CNC steel 16:1 high-speed gears, a CNC steel cylinder and spring guide, a CNC aluminium piston head and cylinder head and a high torque motor to top it off. These parts join the usual Delta Armory SHS reinforced tappet plate, SHS piston and 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel, resulting in an impressive down-range effect and a significant improvement over the original but still respectable FREYA™ Gen.1.

If you're a FREYA™ fan but prefer covert styling, the Delta Armory R15 FREYA™ Gen.2 Silent Ops DMR M4/AR-15 AEG is the one to go for!

If you like speedy ported-slide pistols, the Armorer Works VX9 Mod 2 EU19 GBB Pistol should fit the bill! 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 linear front and rear serrations, anti-glare texture on the top, stylish ports on the top and sides 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. If your needs dictate a stylish pistol with pre-upgraded vibes, you won't find anything better at this price than the Armorer Works VX9 Mod 2 EU19 GBB Pistol!

If a Glock and 1911 had a child, we imagine it would look something like this! Meet the Hudson H9, a pistol that was set to change the world, until Hudson liquidated just two years after its unveiling at SHOT Show. It brought multiple patent-pending features together into one pistol design, something that caught many people's attention and left them wanting to try this pistol out for themselves.

The Airsoft version manages to capture the external design elements, but the internal parts are obviously different. Some of these external features include the M1911 straight pull trigger and the short recoil system that sits in front of the trigger guard. If you want a real steel licensed pistol that looks different from the rest, the EMG Hudson H9 Gas Blowback Pistol is for you!

If you like British military rifles, you'll love the Delta Armory DA-C09 CHARLIE™ 10" M-LOK M4/AR-15 AEG! This lightweight, affordable rifle has clearly been inspired by the real steel L403A1/KS-1, the rifle recently issued to the British Royal Marines.

While the SIR rail system is a bit dated compared to M-LOK and KeyMod, the S-System design will be warmly remembered by some of us old hats, offering plenty of advantages compared with a standard RIS/RAS quad rail and is a great design for someone looking for the simplicity of a quad rail in a more unique and eye-catching design. On the inside, the CM.008 follows suit with CYMA's other full metal M4 platforms, boasting a reinforced v2 gearbox, high torque motor, alloy rotary HOP-up unit and 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel to top it off.

This revolver is iconic! The Single Action Army, also known as the Colt Peacemaker, is a revolver that has been in production since 1873. That's over 150 years that this revolver has been in production for, and it is just as loved now as it was those many moons ago when it was the U.S Army's standard issue pistol.

The Tokyo Marui Airsoft version has a full polymer body with a metal trigger. This makes it lightweight and is perfect considering it is a springer revolver, meaning you need to cock the hammer with your thumb each time you want to shoot. It comes with shells that hold a BB each and can be loaded into the revolver's 6 chambers.

This is by no means an Airsoft pistol that will carry your next Airsoft game, but it looks incredible, is crafted by Tokyo Marui, and has that satisfying revolver feel with individual shells. It's an absolute treat!
