Best Airsoft Gun Starter Packages

Best Airsoft Gun Starter Packages

Hey guys, are you just getting into airsoft and don't know what to get? Well, my name's Tang from Fox Airsoft, and today, I'm going to talk about the new player packages.

So, you're looking to get into airsoft but don't quite know what you need yet. Well, there's a lot of stuff to look into. It's pretty overwhelming. You have to do a lot of research, and then when you actually go play, maybe your experience will differ. So, the packages that we have in mind can address these issues for you.

With the Fox starter packages, you get two guns, based on either the Lancer Tactical MK18, an M4 style, or the ASG Arsenal AK. Starting the Lancer Tactical MK18 is your basic M4 style with a very short length, so you have compact maneuverability. It's not too heavy. The body is a heavy-duty nylon fiber, which is stronger than ABS plastic, which is what you find in a lot of cheap guns, even in this price range. Nylon fiber is used in the more expensive guns, so this is a good value here. The internals are very good quality as well.

This is a Generation 2 Lancer Tactical, meaning it is an improved version of the old ones, so it shoots harder and more consistently than before and has the durability to match, too. The battery is stored inside the crane stock. There's a compartment in the back where you insert the batteries. It has a flipping and folding rear sight to match the front. You have a single 300-round high cap magazine, a removable vertical grip, and a rail system that allows you to add accessories.

Next, we'll take a look at the ASG Arsenal AK. It's a polymer-bodied gun with metal parts throughout. It has a fake wood finish with a very nice realistic stain. The battery is stored in the buttstock, which you can use any Tamiya plug battery. You also have adjustable iron sights for elevation and a 600-round metal high cap. 600 rounds is quite a bit compared to an M4, which is double, so you have more firepower there. You also benefit from a longer inner barrel, giving you a better range. Overall, if you're not into M4s and want something very simple and effective, the AK might be more your flavor.

Now, let's move on to the player packages. We have two tiers of the player package. We have a Basic and Complete tier. The basics are just your bare essentials to get you going to operate the gun, and the complete package is for those with a budget of about $200. That gives you everything you need to get started playing.

Starting in the Basic Package, you have the 0.25-gram BBs by Elite Force. This is a 5,000-count bottle. These are precision BBs. These are very smooth and accurate. Now, the importance of running quality BBs in these airsoft guns for the ones we offer is that you must run a high-quality one simply because they do not cause issues like low-quality BBs do. Low-quality BBs can jam up your gun and cause potentially more expensive damage. If you try to fire BBs that you find at big chain stores that don't specialize in airsoft specifically, you will have those kinds of problems with these guns.

You also get a 9.6v JAG Arms battery. Now, each gun already comes with a battery, so this doubles your fire power. However, the battery that comes with it is very standard, and this one is considered an upgrade, so you'll see a little bit of a performance increase with this one, both in the rate of fire and how much better your gun responds.

To round out the Basic Package, you have the ASG Auto-stop charger. This is a smart charger, which means that it turns off when it's done charging your battery. These guns come with a standard wall charger, called a "Dumb charger", because they don't turn off independently. If you aren't careful about monitoring how long you charge your battery, then you could overcharge and destroy your battery, damage it, or cause a fire, so that's why we advocate using a smart charger and skipping all the fuss of thinking about all that.

Moving on to the Complete Package, you get everything you had in the Basic Package, which is the BBs, battery, and charger, but you get additional safety equipment to transport and use your airsoft gun safely. Starting, you have the Echo1 34" Gun Bag. This allows you to store your gun or transport it discreetly so that you can go to the field safely.

Next, we have the ASG Anti-fog goggles. These are ANSI rated, meaning they're very strong and impact-rated. They have anti-fog-coated dual-pane lenses, so they should resist fogging compared to lower-grade goggles. They're a full seal, meaning that they protect all around here. Any potential gap could allow a BB to pass through, which can cause injury.

Lastly, we have the ASG Mesh Mask. It's made of metal, so that it can withstand the impact of a BB, and you would use this in conjunction with your goggles. Now the reason why we run mesh mask as opposed to a full face mask in airsoft is we don't have any messy paint to contend with, so it's more comfortable this way. The mesh allows us to breathe easier, meaning less fogged goggles.

That covers our two-player packages. Hopefully, that was informative to you. I know. I wish I had this when I started so that it could save me time. This might be the route if you're considering starting tomorrow or anytime soon. Once again, I'm Tang from Fox Airsoft, and I'll see you out there.
