FAQ

Is a cheap airsoft gun worth buying?

A £120 AEG from an established brand is worth it. Unbranded toy-grade guns are not — they break and can't be repaired economically.

What's the best value tier?

£100–£200. That's where dependable first AEGs and Tokyo Marui pistols sit — the sweet spot for most UK players.

Should I save up for an HPA?

Only if you play regularly and your field allows HPA. Otherwise a £190 AEG delivers most of the experience.
