But purchasing the best airsoft guns is not a very easy task, since you have to take care of a number of factors. Here are some such factors that will help you buy a perfect airsoft guns -

• Determine the Purpose of the gun – Like any other things, you need to determine the purpose of the gun that you are going to buy. The different types of airsoft guns include sniping, CQB, covering fire, support gunner etc. CQB guns are usually short to make it easier popping in and out of all the corners, whereas the guns that snipers use, are quite heavy and expensive, but happens to be very powerful. Any assault rifle that come with high capacity magazine, can be used for covering fire, whereas support gunners are equipped with quite hard, but heavy hitting light machine guns. Once you are sure about how you will approach the game, you will be able to buy the right type of gun for yourself.

• Check out the price – Make sure you have a clear idea about how much you will spend for airsoft guns, before you are going to buy one. The price range should be determined not only by how much you have available to spend for this category, but also on the fact to what extent you are going to involve with the game. There is definitely no point in spending hundreds of dollars if you are only going to involve in the game occasionally. Consider buying a cheap one at the beginning so that you don’t have to lose much, even if you break the gun. Then gradually, if you can manage the sport to a great extent, on your own, consider buying an advanced as well as expensive one.

• Choose the model carefully – It is important to buy guns according to your personal preferences. Make sure you are not influenced by what others are saying, but only what you personally feel. M4 and M16 series happen to be the most popular series in airsoft. The best part about these rifles is that there is huge range of accessories and both external ( like that of hand grips and scopes) as well as integral upgrades available for this type of rifle. If you are planning to attach some of these scopes to the gun from this series, make sure it has 20 mm wide rail and then you can upgrade it accordingly.
