Making The Best Choice

What is the best airsoft piston? This article will help answer that question. It will give examples of some of the highest quality (highest price as well) aeg piston and also the best pistons for there price.

The Best Airsoft Piston In The World

Introducing The System Super Core

System Super Core PistonThe best airsoft piston in the world is probably the System (not to be confused with Systema) Super Core piston. This piston has half polycarbonate and half metal teeth. It is the toughest piston around. However, it is also the most expensive piston around. You will be looking at a price tag of around $50 to $60 dollars for this piston. Many people don't have that type of money to spend on a piston, so I will give you other piston choices. For high speed setups, the Super Core piston isn't the best choose.

Another good piston is the Prometheus Hard Piston. Although not quite as good as the System, it has a lower price point.

Manufacturer Highlight: SHS Airsoft

Why an SHS piston is the best airsoft piston for the price

I would say the best pistons for the price are SHS pistons. These pistons are made out of nylon which is a slightly better material than polycarbonate. They are both tough and elastic. SHS offers a variety of airsoft pistons for the different needs you may have.

SHS Piston With 7 Steel Teeth

Full Steel Teeth SHS Piston

The Full Steel Teeth SHS Piston. This piston is good for sniper setups. Because it is a full teeth piston, it is best for high FPS setups. For high ROF (Rate Of Fire) setups, this isn't the best choice.

Lightweight SHS Piston
