The Appeal of Airsoft Guns
Due to the law and the cost, people cannot always own their dream guns. Airsoft guns, however, provide you with a realistic replica, allowing you to own a shooting (albeit nonlethal) version of that weapon. In fact, many of the weapons you often see in movies and TV shows are airsoft guns, thanks to the relatively cheap price tags and precise realism. The directors simply digitally alter the images to incorporate the muzzle flash, sound, and effects to mimic the real firearms. Generally speaking, most of the popular real-steel firearms have an airsoft counterpart, including the Heckler & Koch MP5 series, the venerable Heckler & Koch G3 battle rifle series, Colt M16s, Steyr AUGs, SIG 550s, FAMAs, AK-47s, M60 machine guns, IMI Uzi and Ingram sub-machine guns, famed pistols like Barettas, Colts, SIGs, and Glocks, Benelli M2 and Remington 870 shotguns, and sniping rifles like the PSG-1, M40A1, and Blaser 93R. Even Hollywood guns like the RoboCop pistol and the M134 Vulcan--a six-barrel Gatling gun made famous by the Predator and Terminator movies--have airsoft counterparts.
The ability to own and play with your dream guns is appealing enough to many enthusiasts. The added advantage of taking these guns to a local playing field and "shooting" your best friends in a friendly competition is a hands-down selling point. There are countless clubs, teams, and organizations devoted to the sport of "waging war" with airsoft guns, known throughout the world as skirmishing. In essence, airsoft role-playing allows people to fulfill their fantasies, which (due to physical disabilities or circumstances) they never got the chance to do themselves. These people may be bankers, insurance brokers, secretaries, students, or computer programmers by profession, but for one day a week they can be Green Berets, assassins, SWAT members, Navy SEALs, or whatever else.

4.0 out of 5 stars
It's a good gun....,
By
This review is from: Double Eagle M82 Fully Automatic AEG Airsoft Electric Gun Fully Loaded (Sports)
Okay, to start off, this gun is fairly good. I'm sure you cannot compete with other high-end guns, but this gun is one of the top LPEGs.
LOOKS When I first opened it, I was so darn excited because it was my first airsoft gun, so I opened the box in anticipation and took everything out, charged the battery (dont charge it for more than three or four hours, it gets really hot and kills the battery), and started putting the accessories on. When you put on the silencer and the scope, it looks a heck lot like a weapon used by the SOCOM US marines. It looks like a beastly medium-range sniper. The looks, I give this thing a 5. FEEL The entire thing is laid over with ABS plastic. Dont expect to be holding a hunk of metal in your hands. I thought the ABS would make it fragile, but turns out I was wrong. It is VERY durable, actually, unlike the M83 or other LPEG's. I bashed the buttstock against my metal door edge by accident and there was a slight indent about 1 millimeter long. That was it. No scratches, no breaks or cracks, no exploding. Anyway, When you grip the handle, it feels huge (maybe it's just because I have small hands for a 14-year old). The entire thing feels so slick, new, smooth. It sure gave me a surprise when I started to fire it. The feels, I have to give this a 5 again. PERFORMANCE I used the speedloader it came with and jammed in exactly 30 BB's (you shouldnt go past the limit cuz it tends to destroy the spring in the mag). I took aim at a man-sized target about 30 ft away and fired. The first thing I noticed was the roar the gun made. If you were shooting it, you heard "Bam-bam-bam-bam..." If you were listening to it from the opposite end of the barrel, you heard "BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM..." like a real gun. It was really intimidating. Just to have the gun fire even fifty feet away sent chills down my spine. Anyway, back to the performance. Every BB hit. I adjusted the hop up to see what it would do, because the BB's kept curving upwards like crazy so I had to aim at the ground to shoot the target. I aimed again, fired, and saw that about half the BB's had gone straight and the rest had curved to the side or up slightly (but never down). I then switched to .20 gram BB's. Every shot it, once again, only every single one of them was more centered. Just smack in the middle of the bull's eye. I'd recommend .12 bb's if you want range, but .20 grams are so much better at accuracy. I'd have to guess that the max range with .12 grams is maybe 90 ft or so and max range with .20 bbs are about 70 ft or so. It doesn't shoot far, but it DOES shoot HARD for an LPEG. FPS: 200-230 if kept in good condition, .12 gram BB FPS: 170-200 if kept in good condition, .20 gram BB ROF: about 350 to 400 BB's a minute, if kept in good condition the performance deserves a 4 out of 5, cuz it doesnt have much range or accuracy with the bbs it comes with. get .20's. DURABILITY It is DURABLE. I will tell you that much. IT REALLY IS. Drop on concrete, no prob. drop on any floor, no prob. drop even on rock, no prob. IT CAN WITHSTAND YEARS OF USAGE, EVEN WHEN YOU DONT LUBRICATE ANYTHING AND YOU TREAT IT LIKE A PUNCHING BAG. IT IS UNBELIEVABLY STRONG FOR AN ABS LPEG. Durability: 5/5. GOODIES Well, when I opened it, it came with everything: gun, scope, mag, instruction manual, silencer, BB's, laser aiming module, flashlight, speedloader, and flash muzzler. The only thing that was missing was the barrel cleaner. You also might want to throw away the silencer (unless you want looks), but the flashlight and the scope actually light up and do something. Goodies: 3.5/5 Hope this review helped...

Great gun, missing accesories. xP,
This review is from: Double Eagle M82 Fully Automatic AEG Airsoft Electric Gun Fully Loaded (Sports)
I recieved this gun today, its my first airsoft gun. The reloader thing was missing (it doesnt really do anyhting, so w.e). The gun feels great. Its heavy, just like a real one, and it feels good to hold. The different settings (semi, auto) work well, and the noise is really good. At first, I couldnt understand the directions very well, so I just shot blank rounds to hear how awesome it sounded. The folding stock works, and it makes it pretty compact (abt smg size) and it can still be fired without the stock, although aiming becomes a hassle. The bullets that come with the gun suck. they kept getting jammed and I thought it was the gun. In fact, I was about to rate this a 1 for that, but I tried some other bbs I bought, and they work fine. I reccomend buying other bbs therefore, bc the ones that come with it dont work at all. Also, the "mock silencer" is kind of useless. It doesnt do anyhting, and I noticed it actually curves a little bit, and the bullets dont shoot very accurately. It also makes the gun look kind of stupid. Dont be surprised if some accesories r missing, but dont worry, the gun works 100% w.o any of the accessories. Actually, I wont use them because they make the gun bulky and protruding, and the accessories are fragile. The scope doesnt do anyhting. It isnt electronic. xP Overall, this is a great gun. I would recommend it to anybody, as long as you buy extra bullets.

5.0 out of 5 stars
aweome,
By I have have 13 airsoft guns, and another about to ship from a company you should NOT order from (one in world). anyways this is pretty much my best gun. it it very accurate and powerful. the sling is great but i only use it if i am carrying multiple guns or am holding it for a while. the accessory handle is very good, not like the cheap ones you get at local stores. the laser is cool, but mine broke. (the button got pulled off.) the flashlight is good but it also broke after 3-4 months. the scope is very durable and hasnt broken yet. the hop up is pretty much useless unless you turn it sideway and shoot around a corner. then its cool. but otherwise useless. the stock is easily broken if sat on. so is the barrel. dont try to put the silencer on anything but a crosman pulse p70. almost anything else it either wont fit or it will crack it. the ovrall gun is super awesome. i reccomend extra clips and to make it look even cooler take an extra clip and put it upide down on the other clip and electric tape it. or do it the normal way on the side. the gun is very durable and my favorite of all mine. it is awesome. in my airsoft fights my friends wanted to use it. and in my case it stll works fine with all the bad things thta have happened to it. (barrel broke, stock broke, laser broke, flashlight broke, handle lost, front sight cracked) it is still SO awesome. I recomend this highly to people who do close-medium quarters battles. it is very good then. long range battles it loses its accuracy. it loses its accuracy at about 50-70 feet. hope this helped with anyones airsoft gun choices. i even liked this one so much i seriously considered getting another. GET THIS GUN! This is the best mid experience airsoft gun ever (along with the famas). seriously the best.
