Nothing says Merry Christmas quite like a high powered sniper rifle! Check out the top 5 snipers we’ve experienced this year.

SWS X28 MILFORCE Bolt Action Sniper Rifle – M24 Replica & Bipod Package

This all-new high-powered Snow Wolf sniper rifle is a M24 replica featuring a fluted barrel, adjustable rear stock, and bipod. It is one of the best bolt action airosft sniper rifles we have ever seen. The rifle is manufactured by SWS X28, the high performance division of Snow Wolf. While relatively new the airsoft scene, SWS X28 is making its mark as one the premiere high-value, high-performance manufacturers in the world. The SWS X28 Milforce sports a high muzzle velocity (490-540 FPS w/ 0.20g airsoft BBs) and an exceptionally accurate shot. Tight groupings are apparent throughout this rifle’s long effective range (over 240 feet!) and are crucial to helping you dominate the Airsoft field. This rifle is comparable to other M24 replicas such as the CA M24 (market price = $240+) and the Tanaka M24 SWS (market price = $500+), but the SWS X28 outperforms both in power and accuracy.

With superior engineering and the utmost manufacturing precision, this sniper rifle is one of the sturdiest bolt action varieties our team has worked with.

If you’ve seen the iconic movie A Christmas Story you’ve heard the phrase "You’ll shoot your eye out." For those of you who haven’t seen the movie, here’s a quick recap. Nine year old Ralphie wants a Red Ryder bb gun for Christmas, but his overprotective mother, school teacher, and even the mall Santa Clause keep denying him his prized bb gun by saying "You’ll shoot your eye out."

While this story is clearly fictional, if you’ve ever read airsoft forums you know this is still a common dilemma. There are plenty of kids out there whose parents won’t let them get their airsoft gun or airsoft sniper rifle because they have misconceptions about airsoft in general. If you’re one of those airsoft enthusiasts, here are 10 tips to help you get the airsoft gun you want this holiday season:

1. Airsoft is Not Dangerous

Airsoft is less dangerous than paintball. Airsoft bb’s are shot at a much lower velocity than paintballs, and their mass is a lot lower so they are less dangerous when they hit you. Standard bb’s can’t penetrate skin or damage internal organs.



Tip: Explain to parents that an airsoft skirmish is actually safer than doing common chores like cutting the grass.



2. Wide Range of Airsoft Safety Gear

Faces (especially eyes) are the one place that are susceptible to injury when playing airsoft, but there is a lot of airsoft safety gear out there to choose from to protect yourself. If you hit a sale you can get airsoft safety glasses for under $10, and goggles or full face masks for under $20. But it doesn’t stop there. Basically, if you name it they make it for airsoft players- everything from helmets to gloves to knee pads to vests. For more information on staying safe, check out our airsoft safety articles or the Airsoft Megastore TV Channel.



Tip: Make a list of the airsoft safety gear that you’ll need to play and include that on your holiday wish list so your parents know you’re taking the sport seriously.



3. Orange Safety Tips on Airsoft Guns

If your parents have heard news stories about people with airsoft guns being mistaken for criminals with real guns and being shot by law enforcement officers remind them that in all of these cases the person with an airsoft gun was either committing a criminal act, did not obey law enforcement officers when he/she was told to put the gun down, or had removed the orange safety tip that distinguishes it from a real gun.



Tip: Promise your parents that you will leave the orange tip on to ensure your safety.

4. Responsible Airsoft Play

For whatever reason moms seem to think that giving an otherwise good kid a bb gun will suddenly lead to them shooting cars, animals, and unarmed people- getting them in trouble with the law.



Tip: Remind your parents that you will only fire your gun in suitable areas and only shoot at airsoft targets and other outfitted players.



5. Airsoft is Very Affordable

A lot of parents assume that airsoft guns and ammo are expensive, but they really aren’t anymore. Depending on what kind of gun you want to carry, and how much safety equipment you’ll be wearing you can get started for as little as $200. For a full rundown of what to expect in the way of price when getting started read the full article "What does it Cost to Start Playing Airsoft?"



Tip: Instead of just asking your parents for any airsoft gun, consider researching an individual discount airsoft gun and asking for that gun to illustrate how affordable airsoft can be (plus, then you stand a better chance of getting the exact gun you want).



6. Airsoft is Mess Free

Some parents don’t know the difference between airsoft and paintball guns so they might assume you’ll come home covered in wet paint splotches or that the backyard will be riddled with bright paint when you’re done.
Tip: Tell your parents to rest assured that you won’t ruin your clothes or the make a mess in the house with paint.

7. Airsoft is Legal in All States

Airsoft guns are legal in the U.S. so they don’t have to worry about you getting in trouble for owning one.



Tip: Some states have special laws banning the discharge of airsoft guns within city limits or requiring that guns be a special color so check your local laws to make sure you are abiding by all regulations. The more informed you are the easier it will be to convince your parents that you can be responsible with an airsoft gun.



8. Airsoft Guns Aren’t Real Guns

Because airsoft guns are used by the military and police forces for training operations, parents may think that the guns are more realistic than they are.



Tip: Show them that the guns are not real guns and that they are not firing large dangerous projectiles. This may seem silly but sometimes parents just need to see it with their own eyes. If you have a friend with an airsoft gun ask him/her to help you demonstrate this to your parents.



9. Airsoft Friends & Teammates

Sometimes parents imagine their child getting an airsoft gun and running around alone shooting things and wreaking havoc.



Tip: Remind your parents that all over the country there are people of all ages getting together for airsoft skirmishes so you’ll be making new friends and maybe even developing long-term teammates. If your parents routinely tell you to stop playing video games and go outdoors and play you can remind them that an airsoft gun will help you to be more active playing outside with other kids.



10. Airsoft can be a Rite of Passage

At the end of A Christmas Story Ralphie finally gets a bb gun for Christmas because his father had one when he was Ralphie’s age. While 9 years old may be a little young for a rite of passage it’s common for 13-16 year olds to get something like an airsoft gun to signal that they are growing up.



Tip: If you think you can work this in your favor, try positioning your request as a rite of passage into manhood. Your dad just might cave.

The popularity of airsoft is growing at an exponential rate, supplanting paintball as the preferred weapon platform for military and law enforcement training. Airsoft continues to grow in the public sector as well. Much of this is due to the youth and young adult demographic groups, who have latched onto the sport of airsoft with the same level of enthusiasm which they’ve historically displayed for first-person shooter video games. Have a look at the staggering sales figures for the newly launched ‘Halo: Reach’, and you’ll get an idea of their buying power!

The difference in supply between the two couldn’t be more different, however.

While video games (a popular thing to gift for those December holidays) are easily obtainable given the nature of their manufacture and broad distribution, airsoft products can sometimes be a bit more tricky to acquire, particularly during the months leading up to Christmas. The reason is two-fold, and basically comes down to ‘supply attempting to keep up with demand’.

The first reason is, the sport of airsoft is a rapidly growing and while long-standing airsoft manufacturers work around the clock to keep up with the ever-increasing worldwide demand for their products, the delivery time of these products to airsoft retailers isn’t instantaneous. Most airsoft manufacturers are located overseas, which means longer cargo transit time and customs inspections. Shipments from manufacturers can sometimes take months to reach airsoft retailers.

The second reason is the sheer demand for airsoft products by savvy airsoft players. The demand for products can quickly diminish the stock of those shipments once received by an airsoft importer. It’s no secret. Airsoft players are often tech-heads, and they know what they want and when/where the airsoft products they desire will be available. They often pre-purchase their airsoft guns so as to reserve the product and guarantee their receipt. And while some airsoft retailers possess the purchasing power to import large amounts of product, their customer base also often purchase these products in large quantities, as they understand the constant waltz of supply and demand.

What does this mean to you, the young airsoft enthusiast or the parent of one? Don’t wait until Thanksgiving to place your airsoft orders, because more than likely, that particular airsoft gun that you’ve been eying will be by that point unobtainable by December 25th.

The holiday season is right around the corner, and you may have already begun to wonder what the perfect gift would be for the airsoft player on your gift shopping list. Even if you do not play the sport yourself, you can find just the right gift for the airsoft player in your life with help from these tips:

• Talk to your loved one's friends who play airsoft. Airsoft players love to talk airsoft, so there's a good chance you can find out exactly what airsoft gear your loved one has been wanting to add to his or her collection.


• Find out what equipment he or she already owns, and call an airsoft retailer like Airsoft Megastore for ideas on upgrades or gear to compliment those items. Speaking with a representative for a reputable airsoft provider can give you insight into what gear would complement the equipment your loved one already owns. This could be an upgrade for a current gun such as a scope, a missing piece of safety gear or a different type of gun. Or, it could be a higher quality replacement for a lower end gun the player owns. Many airsoft players purchase low end equipment when they get started in the sport with the hopes of replacing it with better gear later. The holiday season presents the perfect opportunity to surprise your loved one with the quality gear he or she has been wanting all along.


• Purchase only from reputable airsoft retailers. Some sporting goods stores and big box retailers offer a small selection of airsoft products, but you will find a wider selection and higher quality products at airsoft websites or stores that specialize in the sport. This is especially important for BBs, the quality of which have a large impact on gun performance.


• Have the player create a wish list on a site such as airsoftmegastore.com. While having your loved one fill out an airsoft wish list does not keep secret what type of gift you are planning to give, it ensures that the recipient will be ecstatic with your gift in the end. A wish list created by the player will tell you exactly what airsoft equipment will complement his or her existing arsenal.


• Give a gift certificate and allow the player to choose. If you prefer not to select airsoft guns or gear yourself, you can easily give the player an airsoft gift certificate and allow him or her to choose the perfect gift.

If you would like guidance on giving a great gift to the airsoft enthusiast in your life, please give Airsoft Megastore a call at 800-288-9631. We offer a 125% lowest price guarantee and are committed to a high level of customer service.
