Airsoft Guns Manufacturers Defined

Due to local laws prohibiting the ownership of real firearms, replicas of Airsoft guns have their origins in the region of Asia. The majority of all Airsoft rifles are manufactured in Japan. Airsoft gun manufacturers can be separated into three primary categories.

1. High-End Companies

High end Airsoft guns include what is commonly referred to as the “Big Three”. These are Tokyo Marui, Classic Army, and ICS, or I Chi Shivan. These companies are primarily recognized for their high quality and expensive automatic electric guns.

2. Middle-Range

Mid-range Airsoft companies manufacture lower budget alternatives. These guns are usually less expensive than the high-end Airsoft guns and are produced with cheaper materials and feature less detail. These guns also fire at a lower power.

3. Entry Level

Entry level, or Low-End Airsoft Rifles, include companies that produce the least expensive Airsoft guns. They are typically the Airsoft Spring Guns, or “Springers”, as well as low powered electric guns.

Most quality Airsoft guns can be found on many Airsoft companies on the Internet. Their products can be obtained primarily through their active retailers on trusted web sites like ours, or through small retail stores. Airsoft rifles that are found in other locales such as swap meets are generally low-end Chinese made products with entirely plastic bodies.
