Best Beginner Airsoft Guns

If you're in the market for what is probably the most iconic SMG design the world has ever known but you want it cheap, the Jing Gong JG069 SMG-5J SMG AEG should suit you perfectly. This SMG-5 AEG replicates one of the most modern SMG-5 variants, the "J" model first issued to the Japanese Armed Police, and is constructed predominantly from high density polymer to keep the build light, agile and affordable. 

Internally, the JG069 is based on the Tokyo Marui SMG-5 A5, meaning full compatibility with aftermarket upgrades for its basic yet functional alloy version 2 gearbox. All of the iconic SMG-5 details are present externally, including its claw-mount compatible receiver, tri-lug muzzle device and ambidextrous fire controls. If you need an SMG-5 in lightweight and cost-effective form, the Jing Gong JG069 SMG-5J SMG AEG is exactly that!

For those of you looking for a budget friendly sidearm, the ST92F make for a great backup pistol, being both lightweight and quiet due to it being non-blowback.

Constructed from lightweight but high density polymer, the pistol features a TDC adjustable HOP which is unusual for a sidearm at this price range.

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!

If you're into revolvers and seeking an affordable way to satisfy your need, the HFC HG-132B Python 4" NBB Gas Revolver is ideal. This green gas-powered non-blowback revolver is styled after the real steel Colt Python and operates just like the real thing, with a rotating cylinder, removable shells and a functional double action/single action trigger.

Being a revolver, the HG-132B will be a challenge to use in-game, and its lack of a HOP-up and relatively low FPS mean it is definitely more suitable for CQB than taking out targets at long range. Being constructed primarily from high-density polymer with an alloy outer barrel makes the HG-132B nice and light, leaning into its role as a last-ditch skirmish backup. If you have revolver fever but don't want to spend big to fill that void, the HFC HG-132B Python 4" NBB Gas Revolver is the best way to go!

If you want to play Airsoft with a realistic full metal platform or have you had your eyes on an iconic MK18 platform, either way, the Specna Arms SA-E19 EDGE™ Daniel Defense® MK18 M4/AR-15 AEG; Kestrel Basic ETU should suit you! This AEG is based on the standard issue rifle of the US Navy SEALs but with some modern external enhancements mimicking high-end civilian tactical setups.

Being an AEG of the EDGE™ line, this Specna Arms MK18 is great straight out of the box, boasting 18:1 ratio steel gears, a Kestrel Basic ETU, a quick change spring guide and a 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel paired with a rotary HOP-up unit for impressive long-range effectiveness.

With more Picatinny rails than you'll ever need, a unique modern receiver design and the large battery space of an M4 Crane stock, the SA-E19 EDGE™ is perfect for skirmishers who want the realistic feel of full metal and the performance to back it up!

Looking for a sneaky SMG? The CYMA CM.041 SD6 is a full metal version of the sneaky SMG-5 we all know and love which has been upgraded with CYMA's BLUE Edition internals, making it as rock solid on the inside as it is externally. All of the internal upgrades are focused on reduced friction and lower stress, meaning the BLUE Edition CM.041 SD6 should provide a lifetime of superb performance and is fully compatible with aftermarket upgrades for those who want a bit more. As it comes, the rate of fire and trigger response is spectacular for an AEG without a MOSFET and is a significant step up from other SMG-5 SD6 AEGs on the market. 

The real-world version of this submachine gun has been used by US Navy SEALs and UKSF in various special applications and has an iconic look which simply cannot be imitated, as much as the M4 platform tries to (Honey badger *cough*). If you want an SMG which is milsim appropriate with a plethora of internal enhancements built right in, the CM.041 SD6 would be a great tool for the task.

If you like your Hi-capa to go far and fast, the Novristch SSP2 has your name on it! This unique Hi-capa platform design was developed by Novritsch's tech team in Austria, boasting some of the most thoughtful improvements we have seen in the Hi-capa design, with a focus on pure performance. 

The SSP2 is rocking a fixed outer barrel for improved accuracy and a semi-split slide for improved cyclic rate and gas efficiency, pairing perfectly with the TDC adjustable HOP-up unit, 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel and Maple Leaf silicone HOP-up bucking for a real beast of a pistol with unheard of accuracy and range. On the outside, the SSP2 is also something special, with a unique look which cannot be mistaken for anything else. If you run pistol only or you need a long range sidearm solution, the SSP2 will be a true asset to your kitlist.
