What ARE Cheap Airsoft Guns Anymore?

Just a few years ago, any AEG that was cheaper than $200 was considered an LPEG, or a CHEAP Airsoft Gun. CHEAP being used to designate a POS (Piece of SH&$) from Taiwan or China that wouldn’t last for more than a week, shot very slowly, and had crappy plastic parts that also broke very easily. At this time in history a CHEAP Airsoft gun was a bad thing, something to be mocked and scorned by the TM crowd. 

Well today, a Cheap Airsoft Gun is more likely a well made AEG that has very reliable internals and it a pretty well made Airsoft Gun from Taiwan or China. A Cheap Airsoft Gun is now a pretty decent product that is usually completely upgradeable and compatible with all those really cool, and brand name goodies from the “real” Airsoft companies like Tokyo Marui and Classic Army.   (more on Cheap Airsoft Guns at DiscountAirsoftWarehouse.com)

Now someone can show up at the Airsoft Field with their JG G36C with upgrades and accessories and have a package that will not only operate as WELL as the biggies, but even with all the accessories he still has less money wrapped up in his gun. It seems those snobby guys with their $500 guns have kinda backed off that mocking and scoffing thing because they now have to compete with “lesser” of the sport. 

Personally it is all about what works, and what doesn’t. If it is a quality Airsoft Gun, and it performs the job you want it to perform, and it does it well and reliably, does it REALLY matter if the brand is Tokyo Marui or Joe Bob’s Airsoft? Those that say yes, it matters are generally the same kind of people that pay $40 – $50 extra for jeans because Levis or Wranglers are not good enough either. 

It is time to wake up and smell the coffee folks, and get over yourselves as well.
