Best Beginner Airsoft Guns

Paintball USA Palmdale offers Airsoft and Paintball rental packages that include all day field admission and gear. Paintball Parks that offer both Airsoft and Paintball require players to wear standardized Paintball battle masks. Airsoft players usually wear a mesh mask with goggles, but while playing at an establishment that offers Paintball, players must wear a safety battle mask just in case they encounter a hit from a stray Paintball.https://www.paintballusa.org/pricing

Most Airsoft beginner guns are battery powered, however, there are three categories of Airsoft guns. The electric AEG is always powered by rechargeable batteries that need charging before using the gun and during the game when the charge runs low. Players that prefer high firing rates and better performance, battery powered guns are best. https://www.paintballusa.org/gallery/air-soft-games

Battery powered guns are easier to use after they are charged. Just fill the magazine with bb’s and fire. A player should always have a speed loader when using an Airsoft gun with a magazine. Plastic bb’s are so small that they could possibly spill if you tried loading them from a bag. If you don’t have a speed loader, use bb’s that come in a plastic container. BBs in a bag are less expensive than those that come in a plastic container. 

Automatic Electric Guns (AEG’s) are a very reliable marker that run on a motor and gear system. Like a regular firearm, the gear system pulls back a piston allowing rapid and fully automatic firing that produces recoil. 

Airsoft guns that run on green gas aka propane or co2 cartridges as a pressurized blowback operates the slide bolt on the gun with each shot similar to the recoil of a real gun. Gas instead of batteries produces a blow back feel.

Spring powered Airsoft guns are not highly recommended due to the slowness of having to cock the spring manually each time you want to shoot a bb. They cost less than a battery powered or electric gun, but rather flimsy where spring replacement is needed when it malfunctions and not as fun for the player. 

Some suggested beginner Airsoft guns;

• G&G CM16 Raider 2 electric gun, great reliability and durable.
• The Lancer Tactical Gen 2 M-4 carbine, lightweight, multi-position crane stock.
• Vaken ASL Series M4-AR, great accuracy & ergonomic design.

Beginner Airsoft pistols run on green gas or co2.  Used as a sidearm in addition to your Airsoft rifle, the Elite Force 1911 TAC is easy to maintain and durable. The GB or gas blowback recoil action gives you a feel as if it were a real firearm.

The ASG CZ P-09 runs on green gas or co2. It’s a reliable, beginner-friendly, easy to use pistol, good for close-quarters skirmishing. https://www.paintballusa.org/location

After using rental guns for about a year or 18 months, you can start researching higher powered Airsoft rifles that shoot much further. High end rifles take HPA aka high-pressure air fills and shoot over 400 feet per second. 

The more high-powered sniper rifle, the better accuracy. The majority of sniper Airsoft rifles operate with a spring mechanism when manually pulling the bolt back to fire the bb.  There are some sniper rifles that use refillable green gas or 12g co2 cartridges.

HPA high pressure air rifles work with a refillable air tank plus a battery. Semi-automatic electric sniper rifles, mainly Marksman style, that are used for long range shooting operate on heavy duty motors and rechargeable batteries to cycle.
