Dragunov Airsoft Rifle

Dragunov airsoft sniper rifles are well known for their effectiveness and fire power. Historically, the Dragunov sniper rifle was originally designed by Yevgeny Dragunov as part of a contest on weapon design. After several field tests conducted in varied environmental settings, Dragunov’s semi-automatic sniper rifle emerged as the top weapon and went into production for the Russian military’s use in 1963. Specifically, the Dragunov weapon stands out with its very original design as it was not made for the use of designate marksmen instead of the specialized snipers. Through the decades, the Dragunov sniper rifle made an impact on the military operations in many countries as the standard squad support weapon. Along the way, the long standing military legacy of the rifle also made impact in shooting sports with a line of Dragunov airsoft weapons which remains consistently popular among players of the sport.

Mechanically, the original Dragunov sniper rifle uses a short-stroke gas-piston mechanism to function (it was designed to be gas-operated) and its features include its utilization of a curved box magazine (ten rounds in capacity), the use of sniper cartridges for accurate firing, a two-piece wooden hand guard, a cheek rest for the user, and more. The rifle was also known for being relatively light for sniping use and because of this it eventually became the most convenient rifle of choice in any intense battle. More or less, these features are also present in Dragunov airsoft weapons and their functionality made them preferable among snipers. One of the most popular sniper rifles of choice is the JG AK47 Airsoft Sniper Dragunov SVD Rifle which users have described to be a very durable and accurate weapon. The AK47 is also known for its timing hop up system that helps its user realize the fly distance as well as maintain sharp precision firing.
Another notable airsoft rifle is the high-end AEG Electric Dragunov Sniper Rifle which is ideal for continuous firing and all the user needs to do is just hold down the trigger and watch the shots fire away with a true feel of power. To this day, the notable features and design of the original Dragunov sniper rifle remain strongly relevant among Dragunov airsoft users and airsoft players in general.

Mauser Airsoft Sniper Rifle

The Mauser airsoft gun is one of the most popular lines of sporting weapons around. In fact, there are two variants of the Mauser airsoft weapon – sniper rifle and pistol. When it comes to sniper rifles, the Mauser has historical relevance as it was original designed after the cold winter rifle style. The Mauser sniper rifle was made to be efficiently used by shooters wearing thick gloves (supposedly to protect their hands from the cold) and that the user will still be able to aim accurately and fire shots in a timely manner. In fact, many airsoft enthusiasts arguably consider the Mauser Bolt Action rifle as one of the three best sniper rifles in the sport. Another worthy Mauser rifle to consider is the Mauser Spring Airsoft Sniper Rifle which is designed to not just look intimidating (it is colored black and has a solid build) but also fire powerful shots. Anyone who uses this rifle with a scope attached to it is easily feared by opposing players. Aside from that, the Mauser Spring Airsoft Sniper Rifle also creates one of the most realistic sounds with each shot.

Mauser Airsoft Pistol

Even Mauser airsoft pistols in airsoft have their respective historical links. Take note of the Mauser M712 “Broomhandle” which is one of the major variants of the Mauser C96, a semi-automatic pistol that was produced in Germany from 1896 to 1937. The M712 is easily recognized for having a separate cut-out in is base (where a long 26-round magazine is meant to be inserted) as well as having plastic grips, a nicely painted frame and barrel, full-metal rear sight and overall solid feel for the user’s hand. Its unusual design and solid performance on firing shots make it stand out among airsoft pistols.

To put into perspective the background of Mausers, it is important to know about the German arms maker behind it. Mauser is best known for manufacturing a long line of bolt-action rifle and pistols for over one hundred twenty years. Through the decades, Mauser’s military designs were licensed and exported to some countries and eventually contributed to the line of civilian firearms. The company and its weapons unsurprisingly made an impact in airsoft through the Mauser airsoft pistols and the rest was history.

A little info on the SIG 552 commando rifle

The Original SIG SG 552 - Double Eagle M82 was made after this real rifle

SIG seems to have a little winner with their 552 Commando(the rifle’s full numeric designation is actually 552-2P). Just like all the other mini-assault rifles out there, the SIG 552 is designed for use in tight spots by special operators and air crew members.
What separates the SIG 552 from the rest of the competition is the engineered elegance of this little piece of lethal equipment. A number of very knowledgeable people in the small arms field have commented that the SIG 550 series rifles (all in 5.56mm) are probably the most beautifully engineered examples in their class. Swiss workmanship at its finest, and all that.

Back to the Double Eagle M82 Airsoft Rifle

- Cleaning Rod
- A bag of 6mm BBs

What others who already bought it say about the Double Eagle M82?

I love how every single thing on this gun is adjustable. I opened it up and put in a 315 FPS spring just today, even though I’ve had it for 2 years. I let some clumsy friends use it and gave it a couple scars, but after lots of abuse, the gun still works great…

says S. Cluff (Northern VA United States) »

It hurts more than I thought it would, it’s great quality. The only recommendation I would make is if you’re buying it as a gift get two so you have something to defend your self with…

UHC 1911 Airsoft Pistol

The new UHC 1911 airsoft pistol was released in 2004 and since then has proven to be the most reliable spring pistol UHC currently makes.

UHC is known for making great performing airsoft guns and the 1911 is no exception.

UHC 1911 is surprisingly accurate and has impressive range, perfect not only for target practice but also as a reliable side-arm out on the field.

Get it now for less then $20!

The UHC 1911 airsoft pistol authentically replicates the real M1911, semi-automatic pistol designed by John M. Browning back in 1911, firearm which was the standard-issue side arm for the United States armed forces from then to 1985.

M1911A1

The M1911 is still carried by some U.S. forces. It was widely used in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.
Its formal designation as of 1940 was Automatic Pistol, Caliber .45, M1911 for the original Model of 1911 or Automatic Pistol, Caliber .45, M1911A1 for the M1911A1, adopted in 1924. The designation changed to Pistol, Caliber .45, Automatic, M1911A1 in the Vietnam era.
In total, the United States procured around 2.7 million M1911 and M1911A1 pistols in military contracts during its service life.
The M1911 is also used by 28 other nations.

Back to the airsoft version of the 1911 from UHC:
The gun is very realistic, especially when it comes to it’s weight.

Peter from East Windsor, NJ, who owns several airsoft guns of various styles and types (springers, GBBs, AEGs, etc), thinks the UHC 1911 is by far, one of the finest pistols in his arsenal:

The M1911 has become one of my favorite guns. I am considering a M1911 real steel pistol as well and if it is anywhere near as nice as this airsoft gun, I will definitely add it to my collection. This is a heck of a gun for $20. It would be a bargain at double that.

The Beretta Elite II is powered by a 12g CO2 cartridge housed within the pistol’s grip. You can get over 90-100 shots out of a single 12g CO2 cartridge.

It’s ideal for target practice and sporting use, but not so fit for airsoft battles because it can really hurt.

Blake (Bakersfield, CA) says that Beretta Elite II is the best BB gun he ever bought!

… This gun is amazing! It shoots .177 BB’s, with 19 to each clip. It has great accuracy and power, which I can’t figure out because it also shoots 100+ shots per CO2 cartridge!…

Tip: buy Copperhead BBs, they are more effective with this gun than the steel casing ones are.

• The 92G Elite II had no accessory rail.
• The trigger seems to be bigger, as the size on a Beretta 92FS.
• The Elite II 92G didn’t have as much polymer as the airsoft Beretta Elite II has.
• The hammer pin is the same, however, it does not work.
• The barrel size is bigger, such as a Beretta 92FS would have.
• A grip for the 92G Elite II was similar to the one supplied on the airsoft Elite II.
• The exposed front barrel was not available on the 92G Elite II.

CO2 airsoft pistols are fundamentally different from spring airsoft pistols because they use an entirely different form of mechanical force to eject the airsoft pellet out the barrel. A spring can fire pellets reliably, but springs wear out over time – every time a spring is used to fire an airsoft pellet it deforms slightly, and over time force and accuracy decline.

The main advantage of CO2 airsoft pistols over spring fired models, and the main reason why any serious airsoft player should look at buying one of the many models available, is that gas canisters are not themselves part of the airsoft gun. They can be removed and replaced easily, and when the gas runs low they can be refilled and reused. Most canisters have an indicator that shows when the gas pressure is running low and therefore when a refill is needed. They won’t suffer from unpredictable but ever-slowing performance over time.

Another advantage: springs break. valves can break, but because there is less mechanical motion involved with opening and closing a valve it is less common. If a spring breaks inside an airsoft pistol it can take a lot of time to replace it. Not so with a gas powered pistol.

We all know that finding a positive review on a gun can influence the decision to buy it. There are so many types of airsoft guns and come on, it’s impossible to know everything about all of them! What to do then? Look for some reviews. But here comes the trick:

Are all those reviews you will find really useful? Are all of them honest opinions? Or just under covered advertising to make you throw money out of your pockets on some lame toys that will break or get stocked the first time you fire them? Or even worst, will your team mates burst into laughs only when you will show up carrying one of these “great deals”?

Who writes those Airsoft Gun Reviews?
Did you think that all the reviews are written by mercenaries like me and you, who put passion in the game and know that at the end of the day the gun you are carrying is your only true ally? Men, then you are walking butt naked in front of a L96!

Those you are thinking about are called “costumer reviews”. Should you trust them? It’s your choice! I don’t always trust them if they are positive. Sometimes people (mostly newbie) get too enthusiasts when they buy a new gun much better then their first cheap airsoft gun got for $5. But if I find some negative reviews from more customers I tend to trust them.

There is another type of reviews known as expert reviews, but those are very hard to find.

And finally, the sneaky ones, the ones you should stay away from and not fall into their trap – bought airsoft gun reviews. There is this system where the manufacturer (or the seller if it’s a different company) of a new product pays a reviewer to review his new product. This system creates a kind of undercover advertising. Bought reviews obviously are biased, but exceptions may occur. It may also happen to find negative reviews that may be written by competitors, disgruntled employees, or anyone with a grudge against the manufacturer.

How to identify sneaky reviews? Well… you just use common sense. I personally consider „strange” reviews containing too much „poetry”. If a review looks like it has been written by a professional writer, chances are that the professional dude is more into the writing business than in the airsoft shooting business.

What is a “Great Deal” for you?
While looking for airsoft gun reviews you must also keep in mind that you may have different ideas on what “a great deal” means then the ones who wrote the reviews. What you want from a gun may not be the same as others are looking for. Everyone has his own priorities.

The 2 things that I look for in a gun are accuracy and quality. Quality probably is one of your criteria too. The others criteria must be chosen based on your own style. Maybe you look for guns with lots of bbs or batteries with high discharge rate… My advice is to choose your own criteria based on your style and only then begin to look for airsoft gun reviews.
