FAQ Section
What are Airsoft assault rifles?
Airsoft assault rifles are replica rifles that fire 6mm plastic BB projectiles. They are the most common Airsoft platform used in skirmishes and come in a variety of shapes, sizes and styles. Many models are based on real-steel designs, offering realistic controls, handling, and an iconic style ready for any loadout!
There are different types of Airsoft assault rifles available, ranging from beginner-friendly, lightweight, plastic AEGs (Electric Airsoft Gun) to incredibly realistic and immersive GBBRs (Gas BlowBack Rifles). We also offer HPA (High-Pressure Air) powered platforms for high-performance skirmishers.
What is the best Airsoft assault rifle?
The best Airsoft rifle depends on your requirements. For a new player, a lightweight polymer rifle is the ideal choice. Brands like Delta Armory and Specna Arms are the best beginner rifle brands, offering reliable performance with various models at competitive prices.
Veteran Airsoft players may want a more performance-oriented or realistic replica, such as a custom Bolster Armouries platform or a real-steel licensed model from EMG. These replicas often come with a higher price tag but feature improved internals and a better quality, full-metal exterior build.
Does it hurt to get shot by an Airsoft assault rifle?
Airsoft rifles will likely sting if a BB hits exposed skin, but they are designed to be perfectly safe when used as intended. The level of pain depends on the assault rifle's power, the number of times you get hit and the distance that the BB travels before it makes contact.
If you wear the appropriate Airsoft protective gear, such as the essential eye protection, you'll find that Airsoft is incredibly safe and that the pain of a BB hit is actually just a bit of extra immersion! UK skirmish sites impose strict FPS limits to ensure that Airsoft stays fun and safe for all players.
What should I consider when buying an Airsoft assault rifle?
When choosing an Airsoft assault rifle, consider your skill level, the build quality you desire, and the type of Airsoft gameplay you're planning on taking part in. Lightweight polymer platforms offer superb handling but feel and look less realistic. Whereas full-metal GBBR replicas feel just like the real thing but require more maintenance and skill on the skirmish field.
Accessory compatibility is also important to consider. Airsoft assault rifles come with different rail attachment interfaces such as Picatinny, M-LOK and KeyMod. Spare magazines, suppressors or tracer units are also worth considering for an optimal Airsoft loadout.
