Often, people would watch TV or movies and say, “Sweet, that gun is awesome, I’d like to buy one of those”. Actually, what you may be seeing in those shows and movies, ARE, in fact, airsoft toys. Due to their relatively inexpensive price tags and detailed realism, movie studioairs often use airsoft guns for it’s production work. They simply digitally alter the scenes to incorporate the muzzle flash, effects and sound to mimic the real firearms.

Generally speaking, most of the more well liked real life firearms have an airsoft gun cousin. The Heckler & Koch MP5 series, to include MP5A4, MP5 SD5, MP5 PDW. The venerable H&K G3 Battle Rifle series. Colt M16s. Steyr AUGs. SIG 550s. FAMAS. AK-47s. Machine Guns like the M60. Sub-machine guns such as the IMI Uzis and Ingrams. Shotguns such as the Benelli M2 and Remington 870. Sniping rifles such as the PSG-1, M40A1, Blaser 93R. Pistols such as the famed Berettas, Colts, SIGs, and Glocks. Even the “Hollywood” guns like the RoboCop auto-pistol and the M134 Vulcan (6-barrel gatling gun) made famous by the Predator and Terminator movies. The list of Airsoft guns is quite sizeable, and growing with each passing month.

The ability to own and play with these “dream guns” are in and of itself appealing enough to airsoft lovers. The added advantage of being able to take these guns out to a local airsoft field and “shooting” your friends with it in friendly competition is a fantastic attraction.
