Valentines Day 2021: Guns under £100

Here's a pistol we all know and love. NUPROL brings us aniconic classic Airsoft replica, still widely in use today by a variety of countries for both service and recreational shooting.

A reliable gas blowback pistol, with a lightweight polymer frame and tough alloy slide, this is a go-to tried-and-true pistol for many Airsofters.

If you're looking to get into the sport and get skirmishing on the cheap, the CYMA CM.515 AR-15 Carbine AEG is a fantastic option with uniquely modern styling! With nifty features such as KeyMod Style handguard with pre-installed 20mm Picatinny rail sections and 20mm Picatinny receiver rail ready for your choice of optical sight, the CM.515 takes commonly available and cheap M4 AEG magazines and is already equipped with a 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel for extra accuracy. Hard to believe at this price, right? Well, you better start believing in cheap M4s with tightbore inner barrels, you're looking at one!

The alloy version 2 gearbox the CM.515 is based around is equipped with 18:1 standard ratio gears running on 8mm steel bushings, a type 1 cylinder, reinforced polymer compression parts and a quick change spring system. Also inside an updated rotary HOP-up unit, giving you above-average accuracy potential and the latest HOP-up unit design for M4/AR-15 AEG platforms when paired with the pre-upgraded 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel. All internal parts are standard Tokyo Marui AEG spec, meaning the sky is the limit when it comes to upgrades later down the line!

This is the perfect AEG for any player looking to start their Airsoft journey with a budget-friendly AEG rifle that has no trouble competing either in CQB or in the wide spaces of outdoor sites. The widely supported and ever-popular M4 platform ensures plenty of room for aftermarket external upgrades to customise your CM.515 and make it truly yours. Whether this is your first foray into the world of Airsoft or you are looking for a cheap project gun, we are sure you will be impressed with your CYMA CM.515 AR-15 Carbine AEG!

A Gas Blowback Pistol from NUPROL's RAVEN series which features a custom Hydro-Dipped skin, integrated Red Dot Sight, Low-Light Ironsights and a Tactical Rail Slot to offer the ultimate out-of-the-box tactical sidearm for Airsoft skirmishing.

If you love the John Wick look but want to skirmish in the cold, this is the JW3 pistol you need! The EMG CM.138 TTI JW3 Hi-Capa Combat Master AEP boasts official licencing from Taran Tactical Innovation which, of course, means gorgeous authentic TTI trademarks across the design. Being an AEP, this JW3 does not have a moving slide and is powered by an internal battery, meaning solid cold-weather performance keeping it on the field long after GBBs have gone into hibernation!

As much a looker as the GBB version, the JW3 AEP is internally based around the Tokyo Marui AEP gearbox design, enhanced with steel gears running on steel ball-bearing bushings. This improves trigger response and rate of fire while giving the JW3 a much smoother firing noise than other AEPs, not to mention a longer lifespan due to reduced stress on the gearbox shell.

Also inside is CYMA's AEP MOSFET, allowing 7.4V LiPo batteries to be used for a genuinely competitive semi-auto response rate and respectable full-auto fire rate, ideal for snipers looking for a compact and reliable backup platform or pistol aficionados wanting to skirmish to full effect without worrying about GBB cool-down in winter. If you're still wearing your tux when the frost sets in, the EMG CM.138 TTI JW3 Hi-Capa Combat Master AEP belongs in your holster!

The Vorsk Hi-Capa 5.1 Split Slide w/ BDS is a Gas Blowback Pistol based on the Hi-Capa Platform, which means it has large Gas Magazines that can easily clear an entire Magazine. The awesome Gas Efficiency and Trigger Response is further helped by a lightweight but tough, CNC Machined Split Slide that makes the Pistol and excellent cold weather performer. This version of the Pistol comes included with an Integrated Red Dot Sight installed on the portion of the Slide that does not move, for accurate, aimed shots.

Maybe you aren't a fan of the ever-increasing pile of fancy slide cut shiny hi-capas? For the discerning gentleman who likes his sidearm to be a sidearm, this Army 1911 is the one. Featuring a full metal frame, slide, and outer barrel, the noise this thing makes when fired is very satisfying! The classic 1911 design aesthetic coupled with more modern MEU style sights and a wrap-around ergonomic grip means the R27 provides all the necessary enhancements but without any unnecessary additions ruining the pistol's simplicity, for which it is famous.

If you like pistols with presence, the Desert Eagle must be on your mind!

Powered by CO2 and equipped with a TDC grub screw adjustable HOP-up, this beast outdoes almost any gas blowback pistol in the recoil department and is a decent shooter at range as a bonus!

This Desert Eagle is constructed with an alloy slide and outer barrel paired with a high-density polymer frame and grip panels, giving it significant heft and seriously powerful recoil along with its full complement of licenced IMI/Magnum Research trademarks. Affordable, realistic and a real head-turner in game, the Cybergun Desert Eagle .50AE CO2 GBB Pistol is a must-have for those who want to rock one of the most iconic pistols in popular culture!

If you like your Hi-Capas short and well equipped, the VORSK Hi-Capa 3.8 X Pro GBB Pistol w/Red Dot Sight may be the Hi-Capa for you. This full metal GBB pistol boasts the usual VORSK compliment of pre-upgraded parts, including a flared magazine well, ported slide, extended controls and a 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel for enhanced accuracy and improved gas efficiency.

This is the "BDS" red dot sight equipped variant, giving you a pre-installed red dot sight mounted to the rear of the slide, as is the current convention for combat pistols. The red dot sight provides faster target acquisition and looks fantastic, elevating the looks of the 3.8 X Pro into the elite.

The advantages of a shorter slide, frame and barrel include reduced overall weight, faster cyclic rate thanks to reduced slide rate and a faster draw from a retention holster, shaving off a few precious milliseconds for a seriously fast draw to target execution. If this sounds good to you, the VORSK Hi-Capa 3.8 X Pro GBB Pistol w/Red Dot Sight belongs in your holster!

A great rifle for those of you looking to start a sniper loadout or if you are looking to get into Airsoft in general

An excellent long range weapon for both woodland and urban situations. An incredibly fun and tactical piece of equipment, the MK1 combines the comfortable grip of a stocked pistol carbine, with the range and barrel of sniper sniper rifle.

If you like compact sidearms with an elite look, the VORSK Hi-Capa Vengeance Compact w/Red Dot Sight is one to watch. This full metal Hi-Capa platform marries the 3.8-inch barrel length of the most compact Hi-Capa pistols with the full-sized 5.1 frame, giving you the design philosophy of the Glock 19X in Hi-Capa form.

Like other Hi-Capas in the VORSK CS range, the Hi-Capa Vengeance Compact boasts full metal construction, a 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel to enhance accuracy and a threaded outer barrel with a 14mm thread adapter so you can mount a tracer right away. This, the "BDS" version is also equipped with a red dot sight, pre-installed on a fixed position mount for fast target acquisition and even faster follow-up shots when compared to pistols equipped with a slide-mounted red dot sight.

If owning a customised Hi-Capa is on your list, the VORSK Hi-Capa Vengeance Compact w/Red Dot Sight has done all the work for you! With the high-end aesthetic on the outside and a 6.03mm tightbore barrel on the inside, the Vengeance Compact with red dot sight is ready to rock either as a sidearm or a CQB primary!

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!

VORSK bring us another unique and cutting-edge entry in their line-up of ever popular pistols. Being a hybridised version of the iconic 1911 design, this pistol breaks the mould by taking Hi-Capa magazines, bringing this sidearm to new heights. The VX-14 features a tonne of ultra- modern design choices such as grippy V-textured side panels, cut slide grooves for ease of racking and a 20mm RIS pistol rail for aftermarket tactical devices to bring your competitive pistol shooting to a new level.

But the real trick the VX-14 has up its sleeve is the inclusion of a suppressor, as well as an inner barrel extension. The suppressor can be installed with or without the barrel extension, giving you a choice of FPS, depending on the conditions at hand.

A compact Airsoft Electric Pistol which is a replica of the CZ VZ-61, the perfect backup to another gun or as a Primary Gun for Close Quarter Scenarios.

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 you're looking for a target-shooting pistol with realistic features, the UMAREX GLOCK 17 Gen.5 CO2 Target Shooting Pistol is what you need. This full-metal Glock 17 Gen.5 replica is a little different than the usual Airsoft Glock replica, making use of a unique internal system based on UMAREX's airgun line, though it is still chambered in 6mm Airsoft BBs. This means it hits out at an astonishing 400 FPS on 0.2g BBs approximately, promising maximum effect on target but making it unsuitable for Airsoft skirmishing.

Externally, the GLOCK 17 Gen.5 CO2 Target Shooting Pistol boasts forward slide serrations and licensed Glock trademarks across the design, giving you the elite look and maximum realism. The frame and slide are a perfect match for the real Gen.5 Glock, with the exception of the disassembly levers and right side slide lock/release catch which are moulded in and non-functional.

When fired, this Glock is positively ferocious, with snappy, jarring recoil and a violent action a bit more potent in the recoil department than most Airsoft Glock replicas. Build quality is also top-notch, making use of a well-finished alloy slide and outer barrel along with a solid, matt finished high density polymer frame. If you're looking for a purebred steel ringer with maximum effect on target, the UMAREX GLOCK 17 Gen.5 CO2 Target Shooting Pistol will do what you need it to!
