Best Electric Airsoft Rifles of 2025

"This was my first airsoft rifle and I've used it for about 7 months continuously. Overall, I find it to be a pretty solid starter rifle. The cost is low and the value for what you get is solid. It's reliable, lightweight, and easy to handle, even for younger players. However, I suggest buying some mid-cap M4 mags to avoid feeding problems. After I switched from the stock hi-cap mag to Lancer mid-caps, my issues were resolved. Also, I had to tighten the stock bolt right after unpacking it, but now I have zero problems with the stock."

"As a first-time buyer of a full-auto airsoft gun, I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. I snagged two of these at great prices, one for $130 and the other for $140. The accuracy is impressive, and while it might not hit 450 FPS, it hovers around 350 FPS, which is still decent. It's sturdy and has a realistic feel. A few friends own this model too, and nobody has had any complaints. I did notice some mention of the stock coming off, but it’s just a matter of tightening the coupling at the end of the stock."

"I bought this gun for my 12-year-old son a few months back, and he's put around 8000 rounds through it! He takes it everywhere and, while he’s not the gentlest with it, this thing just works. The weight feels good, it shoots over 300 FPS, and has some metal parts that even pricier models lack. For its realism and durability, I’d call it a definite winner!"

"I've had my rifle for almost a year and a half, and it just started showing some minor malfunctions! The material is amazing; it can really take a beating. It shoots very fast, and the battery lasts quite a while!"

"I recently added the Game Face ASRGTH to my collection, and it's been a powerful and reliable choice for skirmishes. The full-auto and semi-auto modes make it incredibly versatile. Its realistic aesthetics and durable construction enhance my gameplay experience."

"The GFSMG is a fun starter gun. It functions great out of the box, and the hicap drum magazine works well. While it may not be the most durable option, it has a unique niche at my field, allowing for good suppressing fire without a minimum engagement distance."

"This was my first airsoft gun, and I wanted something budget-friendly that still had good performance. The range is impressive, especially after adjusting the hop-up, and I'd estimate it drops around 100 meters. Accuracy is fantastic; the sight takes some getting used to, but it hits where I aim. It's also very durable; I dropped it and only got a dent, which was surprising. Overall, it's a great purchase with solid accessories included."

"I was on the lookout for a reliable airsoft gun to help scare away critters. It works most of the time, with only occasional jams or missed shots, but I'd estimate it performs about 90% effectively if you follow the instructions. It's heavy and feels good in my hands, making it a solid buy for the price."

"I'm not an expert, but I think this airsoft gun is decent. After charging the battery, I had to fiddle with the magazine for a bit, but eventually got it to work. The accuracy is good, especially on full auto, and I plan to use it for night walks with my dogs. For the price, I expected a sturdier feel, but it still serves its purpose well."

"I've had this gun since December last year, and it's amazing! It shoots really well, but when I'm low on BBs, I have to tip it upside down to get more shots. It's made of plastic, so I have to be careful, but I've dropped it multiple times, and it's still good as new."

"At its price point, you'll never find a better gun. The firing rate is fantastic, and durability is top-notch, but I found the accuracy to be lacking."

"I thought it felt a bit cheap at first, but after using it, I realized the FPS is misleading—it's nowhere near 300-330 FPS, more like 148 with .20s. The hop-up system needs upgrading, but overall, it's a solid buy."

"I think this is a great gun for starters! It's my first airsoft gun, and I find the semi-auto mode accurate. The full auto does spray a bit, but overall it's amazing for backyard airsoft and fun at real airsoft places. I definitely recommend it as a first airsoft gun."

"My son is thrilled with this gun! We got it a week ago, and he's already had several battles. While it doesn't have the best accuracy in the wind, he loves the ability to customize it. He says the scope is insane and enjoys shooting targets in his free time. I highly suggest this for teens and beginners!"

"I found this rifle to be a good entry-level gun for simple backyard plinking. It has both full auto and semi-auto functionalities, which is nice. I bought additional magazines since the single one runs out fast. The iron sights are decent, but the red dot sight needs calibration before use."

"I got this as a starter airsoft gun and it performs really well. Yes, it’s gravity fed so I have to jiggle it sometimes, but once I get the hang of it, I can hit my targets effectively. It shoots really fast, and I've found that charging the battery for 30 minutes to an hour works fine. I would recommend getting a lot of airsoft BBs because it goes through them quickly. Overall, I'm really happy with it!"

"I bought this for my son's birthday, and he was excited to use it. However, after just one use, it quit working. When I tried to charge the battery, I discovered that the wires were disconnected. It feels cheaply made, which was disappointing."

"Despite seeing some negative reviews, I actually think you get what you pay for with this SMG. The build quality is solid, and the battery life is impressive. Just keep in mind that it comes with no additional items, so if you're expecting extras like a sight or laser, you won’t find them in the box."

"This is great for shooting outdoors! For the price, this is a fantastic airsoft starting rifle. The realistic details, like the selection system that mimics a real AK-74, really impressed me. It shoots far and has good velocity with .12 gram BBs. The iron sights are surprisingly effective and realistic, and the magazine's rock and lock feature makes reloading feel satisfying."

"I received the gun today, but it came in a box labeled as Wells with no company name. I found out it’s actually a Ukarms rifle. Unfortunately, the battery cover won't stay on properly due to a design flaw. It seems to have been made without a solid locking mechanism. The fire selector has its issues too; what should be semi-automatic is fully automatic, and vice versa. When it works, the rate of fire and FPS are quite enjoyable, though!"

"I'm using this gun for target practice and backyard shooting, and I think it’s great! It’s my first actual airsoft gun, and it really fits my needs. I'm excited to take it to a field next time!"

"This tool has really helped me teach my kids responsibility while ensuring they learn about gun safety in a safe way!"

"I appreciate that it looks just like the picture and has realistic controls similar to an actual AR. It's perfect for my preteen!"

"We've only used it at ranges up to 10 yards, but I'm impressed by its accuracy and think it's a good value for the money."

"I bought this Lancer Tactical Gen 2 Airsoft rifle for my 10-year-old son, and we had so much fun shooting it together that I ended up purchasing the Gen 3 as well. Both guns are incredibly accurate and the Gen 2 is an excellent starter option at a fantastic price. I highly recommend it for anyone getting into airsoft or looking for a reliable gun."

"As a teenager who plays airsoft often, I can confidently say this gun is the best value I've ever found. The battery charges quickly in 40 to 80 minutes, and it shoots straight and hard. With a firing rate of about four BBs per second, it's a beast on the field. My friend even bought one after seeing mine!"

"This gun is very high quality and shoots super smooth and fast. I haven't encountered any issues so far, and it's perfect for anyone on a budget looking to start in airsoft. If you're looking for more consistency, I recommend upgrading the piston head nozzle. Overall, it’s a great beginner gun with plenty of upgrade options!"

"I think it's pretty good for the price, but it could be better."

"I just got mine and it's doing great! It's a real big rifle, the accuracy is insanely good, the battery charges quickly, and it has a reasonable weight. Overall, it's a good airsoft rifle."

"This gun is awesome and it works so well on the field."

"I hadn’t owned the gun for more than a month, using it normally, when it began to fully auto burst for no reason. I’d suggest saving your money and buying something better."
