Crosman Pulse R72. I love this airsoft gun since it can hold 375 shots, has semi/full auto capability, and nice velocity of 275 fps.



CQB Navy Seal MP5. Fires at 260fps and comes with 2 high capacity magazines of 150rds and 500rds; plus get 2 stocks. Priced at $110.



SDR6 is a full scale model that holds 300 rounds and shoots at 340fps. For only $100 bucks this gun is a great deal.

Here are the guns I dream about owning. They are out of my price range right now but one day I will get some. All guns are over $200. Click Pics for prices and more info.

These are the most common airsoft guns that you see at WalMart. They are usually clear, take 4 AA batteries, hold 50 to 100 rounds, and shoot between 150 to 175 FPS. I find a AR15 Mini Assault Rifle Airsoft Gun thats non-clearfor $17.97. You might be able to pick up the clear ones at Wal Mart for about the same price.

Because of the low FPS you will need to be fairly close when battling with these guns. We found them most effective when battling inside. Running around the woods with these guns is not effective unless you designate very close boundaries. They are fun when you first start out and I was surprised how well they hold up.

If you are just starting out, I recommend getting the below .12g 10,000 pack of yellow plastic bbs. They work good in the mini-electrics and are only $12.

For more accuracy but the .20g bbs. They are heavier so they fly straighter, $14.50 for 5,000.



Great accuracy with the CyberGun 625 .25gram bbs, $17 for 2,000.



Be sure to stock up on these speed loaders. You will need them in the mist of a battle. This loader has .20gram glow in the dark bbs.

1) Never assume the airsoft gun your thinking about buying is electric and will shot semi or full auto. Many times I will be browsing guns and see a sweet looking one that shots at a high FPS(feet per second) only to find it is spring powered. Spring powered guns are great for target shooting but will get destroyed in a airsoft battle.

2) Be careful of buying guns at a flea market. Most of the time they will be dirt cheap and you'll think you're getting a deal but usually they suck. One time I bought a bunch of airsoft guns at a flea market and they all broke after a few uses.

3) Airsoft ammo comes in .12 gram and .20 gram and are 6mm of plastic. Most guns will fire more accurately with .20 gram ammo. .20 g ammo is more expensive but it is worth the greater accuracy. You don't want your opponents having any advantage on you.

4) Always wear eye protection! I recommend full face, head, ears, and neck protection be worn when you are having your airsoft battles. Most people don't like keeping their safety mask on when they are loading and taking breaks between battles but you really should. Airsoft guns are not toys and can cause serious injury if you aren't protected.

5) Always leave the orange paint on the tip of your barrel! Airsoft guns look very realistic and in many states its against the law to paint over the orange tip. The orange tip lets people know its not a real gun. People have been shot in the past by law enforcement since they modified the tip to make it look like a real gun. Don't mess with this.

A tactical vest is a great addition to your airsoft collection and is a big help during a game. You can easily hold extra ammo and batteries plus have your pistol right where you need it. Click pics for price and info.
