AEG Airsoft Gun: What's the hype?

More and more people are taking up an interest in Airsoft simulations as a hobby. It really can be quite fun. The problem lies at WalMart, where mostly low quality Airsoft guns are sold. Any true Airsoft player will tell you to stay away from these and invest in a quality Airsoft rifle or sub. There are so many out there and where do I start!? Should I get a rifle? a pistol? Is the sniper rifle any good?

These are questions I had when I went shopping online for Airsoft guns. There are so many options, and of course the picture of the item looks intriguing... but does it shoot accurately? Does it shoot far? How long do the batteries last?

Firstly, I think all serious Airsofters should carry a pistol and another gun. The other gun could be a sniper rifle, or a standard rifle or sub machine gun. The preference here should lie to two places. You should consider the weight of the gun, and you should consider the length of the barrel, which will ultimately determine the accuracy of the gun.

Sniper rifles are obviously very accurate, however they can be somewhat heavy and bulky to carry around, because of situations like this, you need to decide what role you want to play on the field. Do you want to pick off foes from a distance, or provide cover fire for your teammates? Do you want to be the one that guards a particular objective? Deciding on one of these roles can help to determine if you need a rifle or even a shotgun (yea they are good!). I recommend the G3 Airsoft rifle or the M4 Airsoft rifle, both of these are medium sized weapons that have a great balance of weight and accuracy.

DO NOT FORGET: You need to protect your eyes! ALWAYS wear eye and ear protection when participating in an Airsoft simulation. Airsoft is great fun, but not worth losing an eye over.
