List of Airsoft Manufacturers

There is a great divide between airsoft companies. The majority of quality manufacturers can be found on the internet, but have little or no street presence, except at specialty shops. However, small street airsoft stores can be found in many areas. Airsoft guns are also prevalent at swap meets, which usually carry Chinese-made non-branded airsoft guns. It is important to note that while the factories listed below manufacture the guns, consumers will have very little success in regards to support after the sale if they purchase items in a factory box. In the United States, Companies like Crosman, Cybergun, Daisy, and Palco Sports are considered manufacturers even though the product is actually made at one of the many factories listed below. Like most companies that have products made abroad, the actual factory is relevant only for their reputation of quality, while the "manufacturer" is considered by the consumer to be the company that brings the product to market. For example: Nike has most of it's products made outside of the USA, yet they do not own the factories. These factory names are irrelevant to the consumer. In the same case, Airsoft companies like the aforementioned pay the factories to produce products for them to their specifications. Because Airsoft was introduced as an import product first, the factories themselves gained reputations for quality. The advent of 'rebranding' in most cases allows the consumer a resource for service after the sale.

High-end manufacturers

  • Hudson - produces reenactment grade, shell-ejecting, gas-operated airsoft guns, mainly of WWII replicas.
  • SHERIFF – who assemble full metal custom pistols using Western Arms based components, as well as building Maruzen based bolt action rifles. Sheriff also made gas airsoft rifles for a time, including the now discontinued Highlander Magnum.
  • Sunproject – Known for their M203s and CO2 driven Gas Blow Back M-16s.
  • Gamma – Most notably known for their remote control airsoft claymore mine.
  • G&G (Guay Guay Gunshop) – specializes in internal and external upgrades and accessories. G&G manufactures higher end guns such as the RK103, UMG,L85A1/A2 and M-14. They tend to cost much more than a similar Classic Army or Tokyo Marui model (thus are less popular among mainstream airsoft) and have very complex internals, consequently discouraged for beginners at airsoft gearboxes. However, their recent releases(made with a nylon body similar to plastic-instead of costly metal) cost less than just about every other high-end company, and have much improved internals and vastly superior externals, making them a prime choice for anyone.
  • G&P, specializes in aftermarket upgrades and external accessories, also make a variety of high quality AR-15 series AEGs along with an M249. G&P Website
  • ICS (I Chih Shivan) – ICS is considered one of the "Big 3" manufacturers of airsoft guns (the others being Tokyo Marui, and Classic Army, respectively). Their guns usually come with metal bodies and original trademarks (both of which are highly sought after by players). They manufacture Olympic Arms, M4s, MP5s, and an AK-74M replica. In addition, they have also come out with the split gearbox design in which the upper gearbox (which includes the cylinder and spring assembly), disconnects from the lower gearbox (which the actual gear assembly) for easier repair and upgrades. Recent updates to their product line have led to increased reliability and a slightly upgraded FPS. Upcoming projects include the SIG rifle series, G36, L85, and additional versions of the popular Kalashnikov. ICS Website
  • Inokatsu – famous for their full metal M60 Machine Guns and AK47/74. Known to be high quality, with a pricetag to match.
  • Deep Fire – Founded by the chief engineers at Classic Army, Deep Fire is known for innovative and unique products like their Titanium pistons for AEG rifles, M72 Launcher, airsoft hand grenades and distraction devices.
  • KSC – Located in Japan, and largely a pistol manufacturing company. Their gas blow back pistols are of high reliability and accuracy, having gained themself a repuation for 'practical' skirmishing sidearms. While mostly manufacturing pistols, endeavors to rifles have been made. KSC manufactures an HK33 AEG line that features manual cocking in the event of a dead battery
  • KWA – Located in Taiwan, KWA is one of the OEM manufacture for KSC's GBB pistols. In 2007, KWA released the first production "Lithium Polymer Ready" AEG, the KWA KM4A1 (widely regarded as one of the best AEG's on the market).
  • Mad Bull Airsoft – makers of many types of Airsoft grenades, grenade launchers, tight-bore barrels, triggers, mines, and various other parts. They are also own a lot of licensing from real firearms industry. They also work closely with HSS International, a famous training school in USA.
  • Marushin – known for some of their guns to use an 8mm bb instead of a 6mm
  • Maruzen – one of the first airsoft companies that came out, known for its P99 nonblowback
  • Modify Upgrade Parts – A specialist in internal upgrades together with innovative new engineering. Modify performs on-par or even better than Guarder/Intruder Shop, SYSTEMA and PROMETHEUS. Their latest innovative design is the new MODIFY Modular Gearset.
  • Olympic Arms – These guns are basically ICS Armalites with licensed trademarks by TSD.
  • STAR – specializing in more expensive, highly realistic, easy-to-disassemble airsoft guns. There are doubts over the reliability of their AEGs, such as gearbox and hop-up problems in their SA80 series.
  • Systema Engineering – which specializes in high-end training weapons as well as also internal and external upgrades. Extremely accurate replicas of the real guns, sometimes indistinguishable until fired. Most expensive airsoft guns on the market with prices ranging from $1,199 to $1,499.
  • Tanaka Works – which specializes in high-powered gas gun revolvers and rifles.
  • Tokyo Marui – most commonly renowned as possibly the very pinnacle of airsoft technology , reliability, and durability (while kept stock). Tokyo Marui created the first automatic electric gun (AEG) - the FAMAS F1 - and was responsible for the invention of the 'HopUp' System (which, by means of an adjustable rubber pad in the barrel, imparts a spin to the fired BB, greatly increasing range). Tokyo Marui (known as 'TM' in shorthand) has manufactured a wide variety of AEG's, smaller AEP's (Automatic Electric Pistols), along with gas and spring powered weapons. They have also been responsible for other great advancements in airsoft. However, due to Japanese law, Marui is limited to using ABS plastic receivers, which has put them in tight competition with CA and ICS - companies who are under no such restriction (they are therefore unable to offer "full metal" guns, which some see as high quality, more aethetically pleasing). As an investment, Tokyo Marui's guns last for many more years than other competitors - reliability has made them arguably one of the best platforms for upgrading. Tokyo Marui is the largest airsoft manufacturer worldwide, and is seen as the Airsoft "standard" for which nearly all after market products are tailored.
  • Classic Army - A Hong Kong company that is often seen to rival Tokyo Marui. CA products - released in 2003 - are popular because their metal bodies. Their products are often criticized for lack of quality control or reliability. However, their quality control has vastly improved in the last 2 years, making Classic Army a very strong manufacturer in the airsoft market.
  • RealSword - a Hong Kong-based company manufacturing replicas of Chinese assault rifles - Type 56, QBZ-95 and QBZ-97. RealSword boasts about high quality of those replicas. According to internal news, RealSword 's supplier is "Norinco" which is the biggest defense contractor in China. (http://www.norinco.com) We can expect that their products will be as real as it is.
  • TOP - specializes with manufacturing light and heavy machine gun airsoft replicas.
  • Western Arms - largely specializing on the 1911 .45 and its derivatives as well as Beretta, S&W and SV.
  • VFC/GB TECH (Vega Force Company) - Recently began production of Rare and Unique AEGs. One of their popular models is an HK-416, which is prized for being the only completely stock AEG of the HK-416 on the market.
  • King Arms - Though this Hong Kong company has only released their only series of FAL carbines, K.A is well know for their accessories and optics. K.A has a variety of red/green dot scopes and is the only company so far to release a red/green dot multi-reticle scope.

Middle-range companies

Produce lower budget alternatives to higher priced guns. Usually fire at a lower power, use cheaper materials and have less detail.

Taiwan

  • KWC (Kien Well Corporation) - Taiwanese manufacturer known for its CO2 powered Mini UZI, classic M16 gas rifles and spring-power guns retaining fully licenced trademarks.
  • KJW (Kuan Ju Works) - Taiwanese manufacturer of high powered metal-constructed replicas. (Takes 'top' green gas right out of box) Most KJW guns do not carry replicated trademarks, so the accuracy of the replicas is limited. Some of KJW products are sold under the brand "Y&P" in the United States. Their most popular model is the Beretta 92 FS, most commonly referred to as the M9.
  • HFC (Ho Feng Corporation) - Taiwanese manufacturer of spring- and gas-powered guns, mainly KSC and Tokyo Marui copies. The company was made famous for their HFC M190 gas blowback model. The gas pistol was a replica of a Beretta 92FS but included a tactical mounting rail. The pistol was released in an ABS or full metal version (excluding grips). The pistol could also be purchased in full automatic, semi automatic, or both.
  • WE Taiwan (Wei-E Tech) - brand belonging to HFC, known for their range of metal Colt M1911 and Hi-Capa pistols (based on tactical STI 1911 .45 series)
  • AIM - AEG series manufactured by ICS but lacking the full metal bodies.
  • Modify - Taiwanese manufacturer, specializes in designing and manufacturing internal airsoft upgrade parts.

They now release full metal versions in addition ABS plastic versions that fires around 300-330 fps out of the box. Their first gun, an M4A1, had reliability issues and broke after a few thousand shots. Their newer guns are said to be far better, and they currently produce the only RPK on the market, as well as the only Marui-compatible XM8, which also is the only fully assembled XM8 with a working scope. 1

China

  • Unicorn - Chinese maker, primary products the AK-74 series, full steel and wood AEGs and conversion kits. Real Kalashnikov feeling, low prices. (http://www.unicorn-industry.com/)
  • CYMA - Earlier models include the CM027 MP5J and CM028 AK47. Their release for 2006 includes the CM031 which is externally a CA SLR-105 clone but internally similar to its version of the AK47 with a different hop up chamber and inner barrel. They also recently released a TM clone G18c AEP, however their products lack the quality and precision of higher end brands. They also manufacture LPEGs, which are quite popular among beginners.
  • JIEKE/WELL - The Chinese company that revolutionized the MPEG market with the release of their R5 MP5 and R6 M4A1 in mid 2005. Its gearbox and motor proved to be surprisingly durable although both guns suffer from air compression problems. They later released the R7 or M4A1 with full stock and R8 G3SAS which surprised many with its robustness and accuracy. WELL is the first company to release the TM clone of MP7 or R-4.
  • Double Eagle (DE) - The company that revolutionized LPEGs with its famous M83. Double Eagle has been proven to make exact copies of Tokyo Marui's weapons with small upgrades, which results in greater durability and utility. Their version of the AK47 and Spetsnaz were met with lukewarm enthusiasm as most other Chinese companies, many unknown, were able to come up with better performing aegs. Their M50 springer rifle was quite popular and easily "upgradeable" to 400fps by simply wrapping the inner barrel and hop up chamber area with teflon tape to seal air leaks. In early 2007, Double Eagle released a version of M4 S-System (the M88) and G&G-based UMP (the M89).They have been notably making the highest quality LPEGs compared to Well and CYMA
  • Both Elephant (BE) - Not a very good company, weak guns don't manage in hard use and break easily. Manufactures copies of the MP7, G3SG1, G36K, and the SL8 sniper rifle. Most of their AEGs are offered with either a plastic or metal gearbox, the latter being more reliable. However, even the metal gearbox versions are inferior in quality to similar models produced by Jing Gong (JG). They are often light weight and lack the same quality of finish and trademarks. Currently their plastic gearbox and metal gearbox variants have dropped drastically in price because of their quality, but they have still been making some of the stringest LPEGs and they were leading some of the strongest MGB Guns until JG came back in the production
  • Jing Gong (JG, also known as Golden Bow) - JG's first normal-power AEG release was the first series of M5 - MP5 replicas (MP5A4, MP5A5, MP5-SD5, MP5SD6) based on plastic bodies of their earlier LPEGs, fitted with a modified V2 gearbox and non-standard hop up system. Those replicas, prone to breaking and having poor performance, were soon discontinued. The next series of JG AEGs, the AK47 series – built around a copy of Tokyo Marui V3 gearbox and AK47 hop up system – proved more successful. Aside from standard AK47 and AK47S, the series included a copy of TM Beta Spetsnaz AK, a folding stock variation of the Beta Spetsnaz and a copy of Guarder "AK-to-SVD" kit (able to achieve velocity in 380-400 fps range after replacing poor quality cylinder and barrel). In late 2006, Jin Gong introduced its M16 line (consisting of M4A1, M16A2, M16A4, M4 S-System), the second, revised series of MP5s, Steyr AUG A2 and a G36C, all capable of BB velocity of 350 fps and more. Jin Gong are often referred to as "Tokyo Marui of Chinese AEGs" due to high quality of their products. Their latest release of M4s: M16A4 (Referred as SPR), M4 S-System, CQB and SR-16 have achieved high velocities, confirmed to be about 400 fps with 0.2g BB(1.49J) out of the box. Jing Gong is considered to be the new manufacturers of high end guns at low prices. Their newest airsoft guns feature highly durable reinforced gearboxes with metal bushings, and full metal receivers. The following rifles in their lineup include metal bodies:AK-47 series, MP5 RAS series with a new line of guns including a SIG SG line, HK 416 (with new correct magwell) and a G3 series. The following include metal bushings in their gearboxes:G36C (Confirmed), AK-47 (Rumored)
  • A&K - Its M4 S-System with metal RIS (rail interface) has become a big winner in a market saturated with M4A1s. The S-System was followed by other rifles from the M16 family: M16A4, M4, M933 and M4 CQB, and a M249 clone was released in mid August 2007. The A&K M249 clone is far cheaper than the original CA Version; It retails in the United States for $300-400USD and retains nearly all of the high quality and features offered by the CA version, including the PGC 8mm bearing gearbox capable of quick swap springs.
  • Kart/New Star - this company, commonly linked to A&K, has débuted with releasing a M14 copy soon after the Tokyo Marui model appeared. Other models include M14 SOCOM rifle, M40 and Steyr AUG (although the last one was discontinued due to poor build). There spring rifles are also prone to breaking.
  • AGM- a latecomer that surprised the market with its surprising accurate and powerful springer rifle, the MP001 aka VSR (since it is a visual replica of the TM VSR10). While its MP004/s AK 47 version did not gain popularity mainly due to the head start gained by CYMA and the AGM offering nothing new, its MP007 (MP40) was an instant hit as an alternative to expensive and fault-prone TOP MP40 and MP008 (M14) surprised the market with its use of the version 3 spring guide and stock gears.
  • BOYI/DBOYS' - Known for their M4s. The M4 CASV is one of their greatest hits. Recently (08-04-07) There has been a new outbreak with some M4/M16 Rifles as the new M4 SD version which are available to select dealers, they have almost every M4 style gun in their production range.
  • ARMY - Little known manufacturer only known for product is a full stock AEG version of the AK-47 and an L85A1 AEG. Also they are a Manufacturer than can be found more in Europe Airsoft Dealers as not many to the USA
  • JLS - producer of the airsoft SCAR and two full metal HK33 variants and an FN F2000. Also the biggest producer of the "cheap" EBB's (Electric Blow Back) pistols which have a high failure rate but one of best sellers for their fun.

Note: There have been some claims that CYMA, Double Eagle, and/or WELL are the same company. They appear to be the same company due to their mostly identical products. However, it may be that they are different companies copying each other's products.

OTHERS

  • Unicorn Hobby Corporation (UHC) - Offering very reliable, yet economical alternatives to higher-end companies. Have produced a variety of well known spring guns including the MP5 SD3, the M1911A1, M92FS, as well as the Super 9. Also have released gas pistols including the H&K USP.
