Best Electric Airsoft Rifles of 2026

"I bought this for my 12-year-old nephew and it’s been an excellent airsoft gun. The ability to switch between fully automatic and single fire is a blast, and the high-capacity magazine means more time shooting and less time reloading. It’s not the most expensive option, but it’s a fantastic gift that’s fun for both kids and adults. I’d recommend picking up an extra mag and a lot of pellets since this thing goes through ammo fast—which is honestly the best part!"

"As someone new to airsoft, I have to say this is the best starter gun I could’ve hoped for. It’s well-made, shoots at an impressive fps, and the full auto mode is a ton of fun. The battery is easy to access and lasts a decent amount of time. I’ve had no real complaints so far—definitely a great buy!"

"The gun is generally well built and offers great fun for backyard battles. My only gripe is that the magazine sometimes requires the gun to be held upside down to load properly, which was a bit of a hassle. Still, even after buying new mags, it was more affordable than other models and totally worth it for the quality."

"After using this rifle for several weeks, I’m still blown away by its remarkable consistency and accuracy. The all-metal build feels solid, and the quiet operation is a huge plus. I especially appreciate that it runs on LiPo batteries—no CO2 hassles here. The only thing I’d tweak is the magazine loader, which can be tricky to use, but overall, this is the most accurate BB gun I own. If you’re new to LiPo batteries, just remember to take good care of them for maximum safety and lifespan."

"As someone with decades of airgun experience, I can say this is the best BB gun I’ve owned. The accuracy is impressive even at 60-70 feet—not just at close range. Initially, I ran into some jamming, but Barra’s customer service was quick to help, sending me a new mag and the right BBs. Since switching, I haven’t had a single jam. I’m extremely satisfied with the reliable performance and responsive support."

"I picked up this rifle because I wanted to avoid the hassle of CO2 and was curious about something different. The battery lasts a long time, letting me enjoy more plinking and less maintenance. For me, it’s been pure fun and well worth it—I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, easy-to-use BB rifle."

"I felt compelled to review this airsoft gun because I noticed a lot of negative comments and wanted to provide some clarity. This is not a toy for kids, nor is it competition-grade, but for the price, you get a well-made, full-size M16 replica with both full and semi-auto modes and a bunch of accessories. If you handle it carefully, it performs well for backyard fun or casual target shooting. Just be aware it's powerful and not something to use recklessly. For under $60, it’s an awesome deal, especially for beginners or anyone looking for a fun plinker."

"I decided on this gun because of the strong reviews and my good experience with BBTac before. I was impressed by the solid weight and the included accessories—it really feels substantial for an entry-level airsoft rifle. There was a moment of confusion about the battery, but it turned out to be pre-installed, which was a relief. The only minor issue I had was with the red dot sight mounting, but a simple riser fixed that. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase and think it's a great starter gun."

"I was looking for an affordable entry into airsoft and honestly didn’t expect much, but after two years of use, this gun still fires fast and reliably. The hop-up and sights are easy to adjust, and I regularly hit targets at over 200 feet with .20g pellets. The biggest limitation is the battery—only one included and it's hard to find extras. Still, this is the best value beginner airsoft gun I’ve owned."

"After a year with this as my first airsoft gun, I can say accuracy and rate of fire are impressive for the price. The polymer build feels solid, and I recommend using heavier BBs for more consistent shots. The only real downside was the original battery didn’t last long, so I had to invest in a replacement, but overall, it’s a great choice for anyone on a budget."

"This airsoft rifle exceeded my expectations. It was easy to set up and sight in, and the accuracy is spot-on. The only thing to watch for is the high FPS—it can leave a mark! If you’re buying for younger kids, consider changing the spring or looking at other models, but for adults, this is an outstanding value and ready for action out of the box."

"I'm new to airsoft and didn't want to spend too much. This gun is a great value for the price and has worked well for me over two months. The stock battery isn't great, but swapping it for a better one was easy. I highly recommend getting the drum mags for the best experience—they hold tons of ammo and work much better than the stick mags."

"After using this as my first real airsoft gun, I was impressed with its quality for the cost. I had a minor issue with the drum mags, but customer service was super helpful and quickly sent replacements. Now, I'm honestly in love with this gun and would suggest it even for more experienced players."

"I got this for a beginner, and he said the gun performed well, though the stick mag was a bit stiff and the drum mag broke initially. We're working on replacements, but overall, it's an awesome gun for the price."

"I bought this airsoft rifle for my son and he absolutely loves it. We enjoy taking turns shooting at targets together, and it’s a great way to have fun outside."

"As someone new to airsoft, I think this M4 looks and feels good, and I liked that the stock is adjustable. The included flashlight was tricky and didn’t work well, but overall, it's a decent starter gun. The sling is a bit short, but that's a minor issue."

"I was honestly surprised by the compact size—it’s definitely ideal for kids. The gun is lightweight and shoots quickly, so I recommend using eye protection. The accuracy isn’t perfect, but it looks just as advertised and is fun to use despite a few small trade-offs."

"I picked up this SMG for casual backyard skirmishes and love that it’s both lightweight and offers a fun, full-auto experience. The drum magazine holds a ton of BBs, and while it’s mostly plastic, it’s perfect for newer players like me or anyone looking for an affordable entry-level Thompson replica. Just know it’s best for specific roles or lighter use, not for going up against high-powered AEGs."

"Bought one for myself and my friends, and we’ve had a blast using it for plinking. Accuracy and hop-up are impressive for the price, and it’s got room for big batteries if you want longer sessions. The clear gearbox is a neat touch. Great value as a starter airsoft gun—we’ll definitely keep using it until it wears out."

"Adding the Game Face ASRGTH to my collection has been a solid choice. The fully automatic mode delivers rapid fire for CQB, while semi-auto is great for picking targets at a distance. Feels sturdy and realistic, and the high-capacity mag keeps me in the action without constant reloads. Easy to handle and reliable—a smart buy for anyone wanting performance and durability on a budget."

"As someone new to airsoft, I found this gun to be a great starter option. It's accurate on semi-auto, and perfect for backyard battles or even at a casual airsoft field. I'd definitely recommend it for anyone looking for their first airsoft gun."

"I bought several of these for my siblings and me, and we’ve had a blast playing matches together. The red dot works, but the gun shoots a bit high. Battery life is solid, but the included flashlights didn’t work. Still, it’s a great way to get into airsoft."

"My son really enjoyed the cool look and features like the folding stock and red dot. While it’s all plastic and feels a bit light, it’s been fun for running around the yard. It’s a decent pick for casual play."

"I bought this as a birthday gift for my grandson, and he was absolutely thrilled with how it looked. He loved it right away, but unfortunately, after just a week, the laser feature stopped working and wouldn't turn off."

"I've used this gun for a couple of days and noticed that it's really only suitable for backyard play. The rate of fire is solid, and the flashlight works well at night, but the laser is a bit off and not adjustable. The scope is just for storing bullets, not for aiming. Great for beginners who want to have fun."

"When I received the rifle for my grandson, we found out it came with corroded batteries in the laser sight. The corrosion affected the battery compartment, but after cleaning it and replacing the batteries, the gun worked as expected and my grandson enjoyed it."
