arcturus is my favorite replica manufacture not only from the points provided but also they sell some of the best" intro to airsoft " guns , that are also able to be bought on amazon for those who don't trust websites they haven't bought from before

[@drummerv2245]

Every time I look at one of your videos, your style also changes. I like that

[@USAirsoft]

Without sounding rude in any way, I do what I want to do and with my ADHD, I gotta keep it fresh to me

[@paulrobbins4879]

Solid pick for Arcturus, I have one of their shorter AKs and I gotta say, I'm thoroughly impressed with it. I could say a lot of good things about it, but one thing specifically I really appreciate is that they standardize quick-change springs on all of their V3 gearboxes. Anyone who's worked on a CYMA AK will agree with me, it makes a world of difference for tech work and maintenance.

[@mufasa1188]

From experience for a first timer cyma is a solid choice, plenty of choice and generally good out the box

[@CT-9904-Crosshair]

I pray that the VFC PPSH-41 will be available in the United States. That thing is literally my ideal GBBR.

[@USAirsoft]

We can only hope but whenever I think a VFC GBBR is awesome, I get told it won’t be sold in the US

[@Diactia]

Just import it

[@purps8050]

literally just import it

[@CT-9904-Crosshair]

Import prices plus customs. That sounds fun.

@CT-9904-Crosshair I've never had an issue importing an airsoft gun. Sure, you'll pay a bit in shipping, but it's better than nothing.

[@belaklosterlein7506]

I find VFC AEG internals to be quite bad. VFC GBBRs are great however. Externals are great and the best to drop HPA engines in.

[@KomradeVR]

[@SmilingShimano]

S&T was always my favorite brand, I love their historical replicas and getting head-turns on the field with rare WW2 guns.

[@Caffeine_Combat]

My favorite brand is novritsch mainly because their channel inspired me to get into airsoft, and I got an ssr4 and reallly like it. But nowadays this is my favorite airsoft channel [hey get down leslie]

[@USAirsoft]

Thanks for the love!

[@CelestialLunaGH]

After watching this video and taking a look at that they have, Im probably gonna pick up an Arcturus soon! Thanks for the recommendation Scott

[@PrestonKyle-w4k]

Probably CYMA all day, because the first airsoft gun I got, the full-metal M16A3 is produced by CYMA. It just feels right.

[@DavidBall717]

Gotta be wolverine Airsoft and TM Wolverine have always been good with customer service and listening to what people want but in the year or so they've gotten even better

[@jagtaggart936]

I don't really collect airsoft anymore but the one brand I adored for its quality and for making Resident Evil gun replicas was Tokyo Marui.

[@mochammadfajarakbar9073]

Mine is LCT, its the quality steel body, quality wood furniture, and spare parts availability for its ak platform thats get me hooked.

[@iammrbadguy9706]

Firstly I would like to say I enjoyed the list, and feel like there was a lot of thought put into it. I have a different list, because I am not playing airsoft in the USA, so the conditions are different, i.e. lots of indoor-play, having access to different replicas etc. 5)WE-Tech, because while their stock GBB-Airsofts are not quite as good as I would like, they can be made to be better. Also, while I find a lot of their replicas boring, some like the Apache MP5 airsoft replicas are quite interresting. 4)Modify, mainly because of their unbelieveably good out of the box sniper rifle replicas. 3)Army Armament, because of their High Capa selection (they produce the Jag Arms TTI 2011 replicas with real stippeling) as well as having generally good replicas, all be it a limited selection 2)G&G, because they are reliable and keep innovating. However, too much proprietary internals and externals on replicas. 1) Cyma, because they make good replicas for little money, and have a decent selection. However, as long as one has an airsoft toy that works when playing and is safe to use, the brand really doesn´t matter. And there are lots of brands I like products from, all be it that I don´t like everyone of their products, but rather select few.

[@gregoryfranks7347]

don't forget the ump-45 gbbr from VFC. what an outstanding amount of info. im a g&g boy too!!! great video. cheers

[@USAirsoft]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheFunkySkeleton]

I like CYMA, Armorer Works, Well Pro(i own a PPK-20 AEG from them), Arcturus, and Tokyo Marui

[@OutrageTerrorTraxx]

Tokyo Marui M4 GBBR MWS with minor tweaks are rock solid. First thing you need to do is replace the Nozzle spring for an enhanced 150% one and install a NPAS. Then you're set. Although i also love my VFC GBBR's very much...

[@Chyrosran22]

If you're a collector most of all, like me, VFC is the go-to. LCT is also great, but they lack that GBB action which is so satisfying to play around with. Gonna get that VFC PPSh and AK when they release, and basically anything shell ejecting anyone is gonna make.

[@LockyDragon]

My favorite? Arcturus, An Arcturus was the first gun I bought myself and I love it more than anything

[@thecrossingplay3963]

Ares, why not? Good quality, reliability especially the mortar ever since I get myself G36(c/k/v) from about 10 years ago and didn't change ANYTHING at all. Shooting about 350-400FPS with .25BBs. Definitely my go to choice if it isn't made in somewhere

[@thecrossingplay3963]

I also forgot to mention that Lee-Enfield No.4(T) nor L42A1 are really my top wish list because man, imagining the mad minute in a group of opposite side that approaching you, man that would be awesome

[@spartan_xl7343]

my favorite is Specna Arms because they have great replicas even if you don't want to upgrade them at all and many versions of the M4 and AK

[@aandersson650]

I know, tokyo marui is the best! Love my old TM G3, all I did was switch the; Body for a classic army G3 one Gearbox for higher power Spring Springguide Installed a gate mosfet New metal trigger Cnc gears Tappet plate spring Piston Piston head Nozzle in metal with O ring Wiring Motor Deans connection New Barrel Hopup bucking Nub Ofcourse I had to re-shim and grease everything again even tho I wouldn’t even need too!!!!1!!1!!11! Can’t really get tm magazines but classic army ones fits just right! The hopup is SOOOO GOOD except for when it literally falls apart when I take it out but its SOOO GOOD unfortunately it’s plastic so I’m looking at getting a metal classic army one. Only mods I did was pad the rest of the plastic stuff with electrical tape and paint sonce it creaked and looked bad, but the quality so good!!!! Love my TM!!

[@USAirsoft]

The most normal Tokyo Marui out there

[@lifebetweenthelines8576]

so far its G&G it was my first aeg and i have added a cyma, a specna arms core, and an ASG M40A3 but the G&G is the gift that keeps giving. one day i will have a full metal VFC but until then, the combat machine still has a lot to teach me. thank you for the awesome content.

[@darkswami3986]

When ak-50?

[@MilitaryPlayer141]

AK-47+Barrett 50 cal.=AK-50

[@ampedmoose]

My list: 5. Specna 4. LCT 3. Krytac 2. G&G 1. Wolverine

[@cenoceras]

I got myself a vfc fnc and I love it ! Smooth like butter

[@USAirsoft]

Lucky!

[@Aleshov]

the EA sports thru me of the rails I madly giggled through the rest of the video

[@USAirsoft]

lol that had me giggling while editing that portion every time I rewatched it

[@gameragigan8500]

Cyma makes replicas that are built like tanks, my Cyma Ak has lasted me a while with no issues (a little over 1 and a half years)

[@gunnry501]

So for me my top 5 is 5: ASG: Cause as an AUG lover they make great AUGs, their CZ-75 Shadows are pretty good as well and even though I would say their Steyr Scout is a bit overpriced I think its a decent airsoft sniper (theres def better snipers on the market though) 4: CYMA, good guns for their price, I started in airsoft around 7 or 8 years ago with a CYMA M14 and yet its still running great, so far, no issues yet. And some of the people I play with have no problems with their AKs and M4s. 3: A&K, as a SAW lover they make pretty good Squad Automatic Weapons, I own 2 M249s from them and an M60 and haven't had any issues with any of them. Granted idk how their regular rifles perform so I wont say anything in that regard. 2: G&G, same reasons why you stated in the video really I dont have to explain anything there. 1: Tokyo Marui, again same reasons you stated even though I only own shotguns from them like the KSG, Saiga 12 and the AA12. Edit: For honorable mentions Im gonna put Elite Force, I have their HK 416 Competition rifle and never had any issues with that as well as their M1911s. And its not the entire brand but I like the S&T M1918 BAR I have, the only issue I have is I have to push the mag up to feed it and since I can only get the real wood model its heavy as shit so its awkward to shoot while moving or standing. This list is made from the guns I own and from personal experience, I dont own any Arcturus or LCTs so I wont comment on those.

[@francistiu9646]

My All-time airsoft manufacturer favorite: 1. GHK 2. VFC 3. LCT 4. WE 5. E&C

[@velowelder6333]

I like what MOS manufactures are doing with their Arcturus Ak line and even the E&L stuff is looking and performing better than LCT, not as much variety but they are a very young company that I think given enough time will surpass everyone else.

[@robbiesmith6957]

God I love this channel

[@vasilykasatikov5729]

Cyma, East Crane, Tokyo Marui, Classic Army, Strikearms. Taginn. Strikearms. A&K.

[@halo-cn3ku]

Great video and I would much prefer Arcturus make a Type 95 rather then the AN94. Also I love my Krytacs and VFC 416s.

[@maverick1s]

KWA is really good nowadays. They make the hardest kicking Electric Recoil Guns with their Q10, and most of their AEGs and GBBs are pretty top notch afaik. I’m a KWA Q10 owner, and I love it to pieces. The construction quality is amazing, it’s heavy, internals are good, and I even swapped out the handguard to a MK18 Mod 0 style handguard taken from a KWA gas blowback gun.

[@VIIStardust]

My list would be 1. TM 2. Arcturus 3. G&G 4. VFC 5. Double Eagle TM for pretty much the same reasons mentioned here but especially the MWS system and Hi-Capas Arcturus not just for putting AKs on the map but mainly because they managed to put great assembly and well engineered products in the beginner market and offer a product that comes in under 150 bucks that I would change absolutely nothing about, neither parts nor shimming. Also imo the best stock shimming in the game. G&G ironically for the opposite reasons, I find their in house designs very fun to use and like the angular and kinda scifi aesthetic really cool. CM16 2.0 is still my favorite m4 receiver and I have several of them. VFC completely for their gbbrs. I have a 2nd Gen gbbr m4, a friend runs their 416s and I'm planning on getting one too. I don't care for their AEGs but the gbb replicas are *chef's kiss Double Eagle for much the same reason as Arcturus - competitive entry level market. The Falcon ETU is a great value option that legit revolutionized the AEG market when it came out, and now they're doing the same with their Noveske N4 MWS replica for GBBRs. They have some issues to iron out (UTRs shipping with underpowered motors, mainly) but they're really good value and genuinely making airsoft more financially accessible.

I'm still trying to find out how to make the hyper burst for the AN 94, but it's been 2 1/2, maybe 3 years since I've started on the project and 1 1/2 years since I've projected the hyper burst system. The canted magazine BBU is mostly going to be proprietary unless I can make it not proprietary (which will be good for people with standard GBB AK platforms). I haven't made it yet because I don't have the materials to make it ( I don't have a 3D printer or anything). I've only drawn it on paper and got the hyper burst system kinda perfect, but the BBU is something I've been trying to make non proprietary for quite some time due to it having a canted magazine.

[@Tsukunami]

One of my favorites is GHK, for sure. North East is another.

[@TheMonsieurSalty]

Normally I would agree with you, but with GHK's current QC I sincerely think they have no place in this list. I stil love and would never part with my GHK gen 2 AK105 though, luckily this one is from before GHK's QC went tits up.

[@Tsukunami]

@TheMonsieurSalty GHKs only issue is their AK, I have 2 v2 No QC AKs, which run great, and perform without GHKisms, they can be good guns even if they're dated, assuming you get one that isn't fucked. Their SIG, AUG, and M4A1s on the other hand are all fine

[@TheMonsieurSalty]

@@Tsukunami agree 👌🏻 I had their GHK G5 and it ran flawlessly despite people talking shit about cracking lowers. My friend also ran his GHK M4 that has been with him since 7 years ago with zero problems. Their gen 3 AKs with bad QCs really put a shame to their legacy.

[@USAirsoft]

Specna is one of my most recommended brands for beginners, KWA is good but maybe my 7th or 8th spot, and despite how amazing Silverback’s performance is with their bolt actions, I don’t really want one. They’re still really good though.

[@BaconSlayer69]

Imagine a AN-94 GBBR made by Vfc using its actual 2round burst mechanism that would be crazy

[@ccreamy7321]

For guns, either TM or VFC purely for how far they push the envelope in the cool direction as opposed to the lame bb hose direction. For gear, crye precision for obvious reasons

[@gentlegtvr]

One if mine is lancer tactical, bc they are great for beginners and have a ton of upgrade kits for them

[@blecgaming9069]

My current collection consists of LCT, APS, cyma, KWA, golden gun and spenca! TBH my treasured rifle is my APS guardian 2.0 marksman (non blowback) But my sprcna is my beat em up; throw in the back of the truck; loan my buddies rifle and man; it’s seen a lot of abuse, falls, been soaked in water and dropped in mud. It still works and is still super accurate, meanwhile my APS sometimes is pretty weird when it comes to being consistent. I would have to say my favorite brand is likely APS and specna for their looks (APS) and reliability (specna)

[@DartzIRL]

I thought Tokyo Marui was overpriced until I bought a Type-89 GBBR. Everything was just nice. From the presentation in the box, and the little gimmicks like the 'ammo box' containing all the accessories. It made a display crate on its own if I wanted it to. The heat shielding on the handgrips is modelled - it doesn't need to be. The gas piston in its tube is modelled - it doesn't need to be. The triple-shot mechanism is fully mechanical and is unique. --- it was twice the price of my AEG Kalashnikov. It feels many multiples of that better. ------ Just - don't fuck with it.
