Pictured above is arguably the most popular airsoft gun of all time, the Electric M4 or M16 airsoft rifle. These guns shoot in semi-auto, full-auto and some in 3 round burst. With up to 1000 rpm (rounds per minute), 450 fps (feet per second) and an effective range of 150-180 feet, the electric m4 airsoft AEG rifle is a weapon to be feared.
These airsoft rifles can be easily upgraded to have bigger motors, stiffer springs, and longer barrels to achieve the higher fps rating that serious airsofters want and need. The m4 airsoft gun is a very versatile airsoft rifle. Because it is such a common gun, many different airsoft accessories, made by different companies are interchangeable. This is a great plus for these guns. Compatibility is always an issue in airsoft guns. It is nice to have an airsoft rifle that it is easy to buy parts for.
Electric m4 airsoft rifles have an integrated weaver or picatinny rail on the top of the gun. Most models come with a carry handle mounted to this rail. Another rail may need to be purchased to mount to the carry handle if you want to mount a scope on top of the handle. Or you may want to just remove it and mount it to the integral rail on the gun.
I recommend using a red or green dot scope on the electric m4 airsoft rifle. These scopes are used to quickly and accurately aim. They are smaller and easier to use than a larger traditional sniper rifle scope.
The most common magazine size is a 300 round high capacity magazine. There are also 250 rd, 150 rd and 30 rd magazines available. To use these magazines, they must be wound up on the bottom. There is a dial there that increases tension on the bb’s to insure that they feed correctly into the electric m4 airsoft rifle’s hop-up chamber.
The battery can be located in the front grip or in the butt stock. Chances are if your m4 electric airsoft rifle has a collapsible or folding stock, the battery is located in the front grip, next to the barrel. But if you have a front rail system, the battery will probably be a nun chuck type located in the butt stock.
These airsoft m4 aeg rifles can be used for many applications in airsoft battles. They are great in CQB (close quarters battle), outdoor skirmishing, and even as a sniper. These are very versatile airsoft guns. All of these reasons are why this is America’s favorite airsoft gun. Enjoy your new airsoft electric m4 rifle today.

Everybody needs an airsoft pistol in their arsenal. A spring pistol is a good option for people with a small budget. But a green gas airsoft pistol is a much more effective weapon.
Green gas pistols can come with a feature called blowback. This feature adds extreme realism to the airsoft gun. When the gun is fired, the slide slides back just like the real thing. Unlike spring airsoft pistols, a green gas pistol can be fired consecutively without having to cock it each time. Some models can even shoot in full-auto. These guns have a great feel of realism due to the weight and the recoil.
Green gas is becoming more preferred over co2 airsoft pistols. Green gas airsoft pistols usually have a little more power. Green gas is used more efficiently in the gun. It is also more cost effective. You can get more shots per gram of green gas than you can with co2. On average a fill of green gas can last for about 60 bb’s while a co2 cartridge may only last 40 shots.
Green gas pistols have a different fuel filling method. The magazine has a reservoir in it that holds the green gas. Some may argue that this is more inconvenient to fill while some prefer it. I prefer to have a couple magazines filled and ready to go for quick reloads on the battlefield.
Green gas is propane with silicone oil infused in it. The silicone oil keeps all the seal lubed properly. Without using the silicone oil, the gun risks being damaged. Some use straight propane in their green gas airsoft pistols. This is not but it will work. An adapter must be bought in fill the reservoir.
