The Hottest Airsoft Guns and Gear this Summer

Summer is a huge season for airsoft. Warmer weather is gearbox and gas gun friendly, and summer vacations mean more time to hit the field. This year we have selected 5 amazing airsoft guns and accessories that are the must-haves this season. If you plan on airsofting like crazy this summer, check these out...


JG airsoft AK47 Tactical RIS AEG

The newest version of the JG airsoft AK47 Tactical RIS AEG sports a built in RIS system is a versatile firearm that brings it all - power, accuracy, reliability and value. This airsoft AK47 makes an awesome primary weapon. It has a reinforced full-metal gearbox, internals, and an upgraded high torque motor. It blasts out more than 800 rounds a minute and features adjustable hop up, adjustable sights, and a solid rear stock for maximum performance and comfort. When it comes to airsoft AEGs, a gun doesn’t pack more value than this.



DBoys Custom M4 RIS Fully Automatic AEG Rifle Package

When it comes to rifles under $100, the DBoys custom M4 RIS fully automatic AEG rifle package cannot be beat. This 12-piece package comes equipped with a bunch of add-ons and accessories and features a high-speed motor pre-installed from DBoys, along with a high-power polymer gearbox. For under $100 you get an AEG that fires 650-700+ rounds per minute at 260-312 FPS.


JG Airsoft Full Metal Gearbox AK47 Airsoft AEG Rifle

JG really is one of the best manufacturers in the airsoft game, and this airsoft AEG is no exception. We just received the newest 2012 edition of this AK47, and JG has beefed up the internal and improved the build quality, for a solid gun that is durable as hell. The gun features a precision polished tight bore barrel, adjustable hop up, adjustable sights, and a solid rear stock for battery storage. This piece is fully compatible with Tokyo Marui parts as well as many other aftermarket upgrade parts, making this JG AK47 super easy to upgrade. It is difficult to convey how great this gun is... you just have to see and feel it for yourself.



Tenergy Universal Premium Battery Smart Charger

If you ask me, chargers don’t get enough love. A smart charger is crucial to prolonging the life of a battery and influences the overall durability of your airsoft gun. A standard wall charger will not stop charging when fully charged and must be unplugged. This smart charger is – just that- smart… it uses a dynamic Intelli-IC chip to monitor and control the charge going into your battery pack so you don’t kill your battery. When your battery pack is full, it automatically stops the current, delivering a perfect charge every time.


Airsoft Megastore Armory AMR-4 MK1 Electric Blowback AEG

This gun is from our collection of electric blowback, factory upgraded, and MOSFET enhanced AEGs. It delivers hyper realism with superior accuracy, power, and range at a fantastic price point. Backed with a 60 day limited warranty, the AMR-4 MK1 features many of the same industry leading performance enhancements as the metal body AMA M4 AEGs, for under $150. The AMR-4 MK1 features durable polymer construction with a full metal outer barrel and buffer tube, full metal gearbox, active braking MOSFET, removable carry handle with adjustable rear sight and integrated optics rail.

Shot Show 2012 Recap

Airsoft Megastore was given exclusive access to Shot Show 2012 this year, and it was amazing. If you are not familiar with the Shot Show, it is the world’s largest shooting sports, hunting and law enforcement convention. The Shot Show showcases the industry, including the latest developments in firearms, ammunition and airsoft BBs, law enforcement, cutlery, outdoor apparel, optics and other related products and services. The Shot Show is open to industry insiders only, so needless-to-say Airsoft Megastore was stoked to be given full access to entire event and permitted to film and share our experiences.


David and Vince arrived at the Shot Show on January 17th and started a comprehensive video tour for all the airsoft related booths. They learned about upcoming airsoft trends and collected awesome swag for some lucky Airsoft Megastore Facebook fans.


Highlights of the Airsoft Megastore Shot Show 2012 tour include:


  • The NcSTAR table showed us their newest Evo Scopes, lasers, and soft goods for better maneuverability on the airsoft field. After viewing the latest from NcSTAR, Vince and David can attest that their 2012 gear is consistent with what you’d expect from NcSTAR; reasonably priced, quality optics with innovative design.

  • Airsoft Megastore also had a chance to meet with ActionSportsGames or ASG, and view their upcoming line of hardcore airsoft firearms. A relative newcomer to the US Airsoft industry, ASG has more than 15 years of solid airsoft distribution experience in Europe, with especially strong presence in France, Poland, Scandinavia and the UK. ASG focuses on the high end airsoft market and Airsoft Megastore is looking forward to see what they bring to the fray!

  • Airsoft Megastore also interviewed Sean at Spartan Imports – an Airsoft Megastore partner. Sean showed us some not-yet-released airsoft AEGs, including SR series and Magpul airsoft sniper rifles, some killer airsoft gas guns and also some insane new gas grenades.

  • Cliff at Umarex told us a bit about Elite Force, including their warranty and service program. Umarex focuses on high end and competitive airsoft scene and they have a lot of cool new products including high quality airsoft gun bbs.

  • Jim at KWA showed us around some rad new airsoft pistols. We were super excited to check out the ERG – electric recoil gun – exclusively licensed to Magpul. This exciting new series comes in three types: PTS CQB, PTS Scout mid-length, and PTS SPR long-rifle… and they are looking to launch in summer 2012.

  • And now for something completely different... we got the opportunity to play with new (and always entertaining) Zombie guns from Double Star – featuring crazy add-ons like holographic sites, tactical bottle opener and chainsaw, for added zombie carnage. Mike barely escaped with his limbs intact.


Check out the Shot Show Round Up at Airsoft Megastore TV to learn more about all the latest airsoft guns for 2012.
