Best Airsoft Beginner guns

For those of you that appreciate the fundaments, the core tried and true aspects of a rifle that are then refined as much as possible, this is the one for you. With both beginner appeal and with enough perks for veterans, the ARCTURUS M4/AR-15 Lite CQB AEG Rifle sports a 10.5-inch outer barrel and a steel 6.01mm tightbore inner barrel paired with a rotary HOP-up unit, making it great for both CQB and outdoor skirmishing.

The rifle benefits from an aluminium handguard and polymer body and stock to keep the weight light and you light on your feet in the heat of battle. Featuring a monolithic top rail, M-LOK rail system and 4 QD sling points for a superior level of customisation than other rifles at this price point. It also boasts sleek stylings, with a modern 'Billet' style receiver and slimline low-profile crane stock, as well as ambidextrous fire select, mag release and charging handle, this AEG has everything you'd hope for in a modern AR.

A Gas Blowback Pistol from NUPROL's RAVEN series which features a Pre-Two-Toned slide, integrated Red Dot Sight, Low-Light Ironsights, a Tactical Rail Slot and a Full-Auto 'Fun Switch' to scare the daylights out of your enemies!

If you love the comfort, reliability and compatibility of the G-Series pistols, and want something that is going to stand out from the crowd, then the EU18 is a sure choice. This pistol is perfect for all weather conditions and is one of the most cost effective sidearms you can run in Airsoft.

If you're looking for a compact and lightweight AR platform with stealthy styling, the Specna Arms SA-C05 CORE™ HAL¹ ETU™ M4/AR-15 AEG is a great shout. This M4/AR-15 AEG follows Specna's "CORE" build standard, with a CNC aluminium handguard, alloy outer barrel and suppressor paired with a high density polymer receiver, stock and pistol grip, ideal for skirmishers who like to move fast and keep energy high all day long. 

This, the latest SA-CO5 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 an entry-level price point!

For those with a thing for the classic utilitarian style of the AK platform who need a rifle for CQB duties, the AKS-74U has your name on it! The CM.045 High-Speed from CYMA takes the original CM.045's superb externals and drops in a 13:1 steel gearset, high-speed motor, silent piston and cylinder head with a polycarbonate piston with steel teeth to provide a pre-upgraded speed demon of an AK! To sweeten the deal, this AKS-74U comes with authentic-looking "Plum" coloured polymer furniture and magazine, matching AKs built during the 1985-1989 era.

If you are looking for something modern, compact and unique with which to turn and burn in CQB the SigAir MPX AEG would be a superb choice. This mould-breaking new SMG is a near-perfect replica of the real Sig MPX, the 9mm SMG offspring of the legendary MCX carbine. 

The SigAir MPX is built like a tank, sporting full metal construction and precision CNC machining across its externals and flawlessly realistic SIG trademarks, and is pre-wired with a basic MOSFET to keep its trigger contacts protected as you lay down rapid semi-auto shots in CQB, in the MPX’s natural habitat.

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!

CQB skirmishers, this one is definitely for you! The Specna Arms SA-F21 FLEX™ Carbine AEG; FALCON EFCS Edition is an extremely lightweight platform, weighing in at less than 2kg, this AEG will not slow you down during your battles. The high-density polymer is incredibly durable and scratch-resistant. The SA-F21 FLEX™ is also equipped with the FALCON EFCS MOSFET, which has a programmable ETU that offers multiple different firing modes, this is an amazing feature for the relatively low price and gives newer players a chance to experiment with different firing modes. The preinstalled MOSFET will also protect your rifle from short circuits and burnouts.

If you're a fan of staying stealthy, being light on your feet and giving the enemies a scare by sneaking up on them with the added benefit of not getting tired arms after a long day of skirmishing, then the Specna Arms SA-F21 FLEX™ Compact Carbine AEG; FALCON EFCS Edition is perfect for you!

Incredibly light weight and reliable Airsoft RIF. An excellent beginner Airsoft rifle but also very favourable by experienced Airsofters due to its out of the box performance being so good in a low price bracket.

A Polymer gas blowback B9 replica, which has the best of both worlds in regards to good gas efficiency from a Polymer build, as well as some good weight in the hand thanks to metal reinforcement.

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.

The Novritsch SSR90 is a radical reinvention of the P90 PDW concept, bringing this ageing spacegun into the 21st century with a significant external overhaul and the usual Novritsch compliment of pre-upgraded internals. 

With a new M-LOK upper receiver, skeletonised trigger, QD sling points and a newly designed rubberised butt plate, the SSR90 has far more attachment interfaces than the original P90, better handling and a far shorter trigger pull, ideal for CQB bouts. The body is made from fantastic quality reinforced polymer and to make matters even sweeter, the SSR90 can be kitted out with Novritsch Rail Extension for even more accessory space or the Minimal Receiver Conversion for an even more unique aesthetic. 

What is sure to turn heads is its phenomenal performance, particularly in terms of rate of fire and long range accuracy. This thing hits 17 rounds per second on a 7.4V LiPo battery, which is outlandish, to say the least. With a Maple Leaf HOP-up rubber and a newly designed TDC HOP-up unit, a 6.03mm tight bore inner barrel and a programmable ETU/MOSFET control unit, the Novritsch SSR90 FN Herstal P90 AEG Submachine Gun sure means business when it comes to performance!

An electric powered 6mm Airsoft replica of the venerable G3 platform complete with integrated bipod, which was originally designed in the 1950s but has proven to be such a successful platform that it has seen updates all the way through to being in current use with military groups around the world.

If you love that competition styling in a sidearm but don't have a thousand quid in your pocket, VORSK is here to make your dreams a reality! The CS Defender Pro 1911 GBB Pistol is styled after real steel competition-optimised handguns and comes with a built-in compensator, flared magazine well, ported slide and gorgeous real wood/rubber hybrid grips pre-installed.

Building on VORSK's pedigree of offering some seriously slick full metal GBB pistol designs in an affordable package with loads of spare bits included, the CS Defender gives you the option of running it in either compensated or combat configurations. In the latter state, it is compatible with 12mm CW female thread adapters so you can equip it with a tracer unit for some CQB intimidation and an instinct-aiming advantage. Whether this is your first sidearm or you want something to compliment your collection that has a bit more flare and head-turning good looks, the CS Defender Pro should do the job, and do it well!

If you have a Hi-Capa-shaped hole in your heart and are seeking a realistic experience, the EMG R611-3 STACCATO 2011 Hi-Capa P GBB is what you need. This full-metal Hi-Capa platform is a perfect replica of the real steel STI/STACCATO Firearms 2011 P, complete with licensed trademarks across the design in engraved, laser engraved and embossed form, very fancy.

As one might expect with such a high-end real steel pedigree, the STACCATO is kitted out externally with a raised light-enhancing front sight paired with an anti-glare rear sight, a red dot mounting plate for RMR footprint red dot sights, a flared magazine well and slide serrations at both the front and rear. From a handling standpoint, this thing is top-tier!

Internally, the STACCATO P is rocking a 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel, a redesigned nozzle which uses cold-resistant polymer and a new generation magazine valve, maximising gas efficiency and reliability. If you'd love to run a Hi-Capa with premium styling and stand out from the crowd, the R611-3 STACCATO 2011 Hi-Capa P GBB from EMG belongs in your loadout!
