WG Full Metal US Combat 1911 CO2 Airsoft Pistol, Black/Silver
This CO2 1911 pistol by WG is made to resemble a modern 1911 model. The frame and slide both feature steel construction for maximum realism. Unlike AEG pistols, this one is powered by green gas canisters.
At the bottom of the frame, near the muzzle, is a short rail for adding accessories. Common picks include a laser sight, flashlight, or a combination of the two. Pair these with precise iron sights for the best performance.
You get 16 rounds in the magazine, more than sufficient for any modern airsoft pistol. It would be best if you rationed your ammunition sensibly, or you’d be reloading too much.
Specifications:
- 500 FPS with 0.20g BBs
- 16 rounds in the magazine
- Tactical rail
- Adjustable hop-up
- Adjustable rear sight
Pros:
- Realistic

Steyr M9-A1 CO2 Airsoft Pistol
If you like period airsoft guns, you will know all about the Steyr company – a venerable manufacturer during both World Wars. This Steyr M9-A1 CO2 Airsoft Pistol is fully licensed by Steyr-Mannlicjer, Austria, and comes with authentic markings. In fact, you can barely tell the difference between the real firearm and this replica.
As a modern firearm design, the Steyr M9-A1 is made primarily of polymer to reduce the weight. A lighter gun lets you draw and shoot faster when compared to a heavier steel pistol. Even so, this handgun is more than capable of packing a punch.
The magazine capacity of 14 rounds is slightly lower than anticipated, meaning you’ll have to conserve ammunition while fighting.
Specifications:
- 460 FPS with 0.20g BBs
- 14 rounds in the magazine
- Tactical rail
- Non-blowback
Pros:
- Perfect replica
- Integrated rail
- Unique serial numbers
Cons:
- No blowback action
- Low magazine capacity

The frame and slide are made of a high-strength polymer that easily endures the wear and tear of the battlefield. While light, it can take some hard knocks without suffering any substantial damage. The slide also has serrations to help chamber BBs even with slightly wet fingers.
Due to the unique half-blowback design, the slide stays put while firing but will lock back when the magazine is empty.
Specifications:
- 350 FPS with 0.20g BBs

Pros:

Quality airsoft rifles are always more expensive, but cheaper models can be unreliable. However, this Wells M16A4 Style Spring Rifle is an excellent beginner weapon.
