Action Army probably. The AAP-01 is by far my favorite one I used
Very nice video
Wolverine. But TM is up there just for the hicapa
Me.
TM is my favorite but besides them G&G
Came for the video stayed for the cat 😂❤ great vid as always dude
Thank you very much! 🐈
CYMA being one of the best brands and being a common starter for a first aeg makes it perfect
The tri shot guns by cyma are amazing
🙄
3:20 Here's the worst part: Arcturus actually promised an AN-94...on April Fool's Day...
I remember that haha
dawg i would sell my left kidney for an airsoft AN-94
I dunno if I should trust the Arcturus social guys. They responded to a comment mentioning how they would sell their soul for an Arcturus GBBR telling them to basically hand it over.
See now, that’s just-
I hate em but like em at the same time 🤣
My favourite part about this video is that it's an airsoft AK manufacturer count down, because AKs are based.
A video with multiple goals
You talk like Brandon Herrera
Cat cameos carried the video, include more cat clips please scott I love her
Leslie shall return!
@@USAirsoft YIPPEEEE
You're killing me with some of these hilarious edits
I just kept adding and adding to this video because I kept making myself laugh with how dumb it was starting to get
me right now, 2am in the Philippines and i cant sleep
yey new USAIRSOFT vid, proceeds to watch
Good. I kiss your forehead in appreciation
😂@@USAirsoft
Same but I'm in Mexico
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
That STG image from Heroes and Generals hit me with nostalgia. RIP Heroes and Generals.
the fckin memories
S&T was always my favorite brand, I love their historical replicas and getting head-turns on the field with rare WW2 guns.
I've never owned an Arcturus replica, but if they're anything like the Arcturus foregrip I have on my rifle, they must be good. It may be a foregrip, but it's ridiculously comfortable and has withstood a great deal of abuse.
Tokyo Marui is just TOO GOOD to put anywhere other than spot number 1! 💯
Got the hi capa and the saiga 12…. I am a proud tm glazer 😅
CYMA at 1, LCT at 2, Arcturus at 3.
Dude, duuuude I just got back into airsoft and ur my fav commentary wise, at the same time just reinstalled battle block theatre. Rock on🤘
F**k yeah! Have fun man!
Every time I look at one of your videos, your style also changes. I like that
Without sounding rude in any way, I do what I want to do and with my ADHD, I gotta keep it fresh to me
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.
I just love the m4 Replicas that come directly from ArmaLite.
They got absolutely high-quality units of guns.
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.
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.
Dude, your content is as awesome as always. Love from South Africa
Big love! Thanks for watching!
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.
random and chaotic editing style scott is pretty funny
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.
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
Mine is LCT, its the quality steel body, quality wood furniture, and spare parts availability for its ak platform thats get me hooked.
From experience for a first timer cyma is a solid choice, plenty of choice and generally good out the box
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.
Arcturus is goated w video
Thanks for the love!
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]
Thanks for the love!
I pray that the VFC PPSH-41 will be available in the United States. That thing is literally my ideal GBBR.
We can only hope but whenever I think a VFC GBBR is awesome, I get told it won’t be sold in the US
Just import it
literally just import it
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.
1:13 this is where Chris from Slipknot went after being fired
i want to play airsoft with his mask
1. TM
2. Arcturus/E&L
3. G&G
4. LCT
5. Double Bell
Double Bell huh?
@@USAirsoft the have some unique models for cheap
@@m1a1tcom and crap
Yeah just 2 minutes in I knew I needed to subscribe immediately
Condor, Lancer Tactical, Elite Force, Double Eagle, all goats
I got myself a vfc fnc and I love it ! Smooth like butter
Lucky!
Dude! Love your Pop Team Epic Tshirt. Underated anime. Hilarious. Keep up the awesome work! Love your videos.
Thanks! It’s Asian fit so I have to wear another shirt under it or else it’s a belly shirt haha
Dude...that smoke detector shit...
Great video Scott!!
When I first got my AGM MG42 like 6-7 years ago, I had people freak out and simply say they are going to the other side of the field. Good memories.
EMG and TM are my two favorites. for two reasons. Number 1: Tokyo marui hi capa parts, magazines and upgrade parts. Number 2: EMG TTI Combat master pistol. (The john wick one)
Gotta give G&G props for coming with the LEVAR-15. If it goes well and the gas is great then I hope more lever action guns follow their route cause goddamn every lever action gun I’ve gotten (A&K and even TM with their Raptor Zero line) straight up have gas issues and they’re such a pain to fix
i am tokyo marui shill
Probably CYMA all day, because the first airsoft gun I got, the full-metal M16A3 is produced by CYMA. It just feels right.
For me as a Collection & GBB Lover: VFC, Tanaka, Marui, Northeast & GHK.
Nicht schlecht
God I love this channel
One of my favorites is GHK, for sure. North East is another.
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.
@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
@@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.
don't forget the ump-45 gbbr from VFC. what an outstanding amount of info. im a g&g boy too!!! great video. cheers
Thanks for watching!
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
100% agree with LCT and Arcturus
Obligatory "LCT is waaayyyyyy overrated" comment
Glad to see another video though!
yep agree huge qc issue on their guns and the mags sucks af
Omg the cat is soooo cute. Love your list man. Wow you know meat cannon also
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...
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.
Arcturus. Hands down. Their consistency and quality from their budget beginner replicas to their collectables, are amazing. Also their line of replicas that have swappable mag wells? Sick.
8:32 seconds in…they even put the adjustable gas block on that thing looks amazing!!!
love the video my favorit airsoft brand is umarex and cyma
CYMA will remain one of the greatest brands out there
My favorite? Arcturus, An Arcturus was the first gun I bought myself and I love it more than anything
Also, the KSG is goated. 😤
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
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
The battle block theater music.... it's nostalgic.
I like CYMA, Armorer Works, Well Pro(i own a PPK-20 AEG from them), Arcturus, and Tokyo Marui
Arcturus centaur b is the reason I would put arcturus at my top spot. Their build quality and specs at the price point are fantastic
Love my marui's. But for me also an mention for specna arms, for making such great starters rifs
My favorite airsoft brands are Nerf and Super Soaker
A man of culture
@@USAirsoft Where most of us got our humble beginnings
Favorite company has to be KJ works. They don't make a whole lot but the kc02 aftermarket customization just allows you to have a mostly unique gbbr.
The way he chucked the cat😂
I’m waiting for someone call me out for animal abuse or something
No no I’m not
@@USAirsoft People today are insane, but its clear your cat loves you man! :)
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)
TM forever! Thanks for all you've done for airsoft.
G&G and ASG, thanks for your innovations with the scorpion Evo3 and the ARP9 and the standardisation of etu and MOSFET.
E&L, your Aks are sooooo good....for externals only!😅🤣
Cyma, the Always good choice, you've invented reliability!
Special thanks for novritsch, who brings a lot recently into the game.
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
1. Arcturus
2. Echo1
3. Krytac
4. Tokyo Marui
5. Cyma
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)
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!!
The most normal Tokyo Marui out there
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.
As a proud owner of a G&G MG42, I can only agree, it is peak ❤
I literally just ordered a saiga 12k, cant wait
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
Love the vids man!
Thanks for the love!
I really like explosive enterprises’ gbbr content and I think you should totally do more gbbr stuff
If arcturus makes a VSS/AS VAL im gonna go fucking bonkers, i will loose my "marbles" so to speak, my pantaloons will fall to the ground to reveal my credit cart that i will use immediately
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.
Great video and I would much prefer Arcturus make a Type 95 rather then the AN94. Also I love my Krytacs and VFC 416s.
the EA sports thru me of the rails I madly giggled through the rest of the video
lol that had me giggling while editing that portion every time I rewatched it
I like the Lancer tactical line and my Cyma p90 is holding up great after 4 years
That G&G LevAR is sweet!
It really is cool looking
Came for the cat, stayed for the smoke alarm
I'm kind of surprised that Specna and KWA weren't even mentioned.
Silverback should have gotten an honorable mention as the best manufacturer of sniper rifles, but they definitely have a limited selection.
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.
like the cat lol
Great to hear your opinion. Like them all . But don’t have an Arcturus would like to try one . This is old but ICS Sig series were one of our first guns . They are great work horse but not as pretty as G&G Sigs. GP is an other good one we have M14 deadly. Plus rapid fire and M4 navy seal. I could list a lot . But Tokyo Mariu are very nice. Have the A12 ,416 G3SAS and my very first gun G36. Plus most of the Glocks with G on them . Again thanks for the video
Can’t go wrong with a G&G combat machine with a 11.1 lipo
Novritsch mainly for the ssg10 25 year spare part warranty, sse18 aep accessories and availability to be holstered and lastly the ssx23 to help those to get the tm mk23 (more or less) able to get one easily that is in the USA.
Not a fan of their gas blowback or aeg line up but the rest ill back up till the end of time. Plus the textile stuff is amazing.
CYMA def a top 5 they never miss
Clicked for the video, stayed for the Battle Block Theater music
my first replicas were all TM way back in the 90's. I've used TM, CA, VFC, G&P, Cyma, JG, Dboys, WE and more I can't remember.
I would say my favourites in alphabetical order G&P, TM and VFC.
Not a bad list. I totally forgot about G&P but then again, I’ve never owned one sadly.
@@USAirsoft I had one of their first gen M4's in the early 2000's and the piston destroyed itself first game day, I suspect from a jam that caused a back pressure build up and the gears chewed it. I've since then had 3 more and they were all great.
Both me and my local airsoft shop say that Arcturus basically runs on black magic. He had a story where a customer bought some starter Arcturus M4 and the next time the customer came in, he brought a fucking spreadsheet comparing the M4 to his ICS L85 asking them how can they make his L85 shoot like the Arcturus.
Cyma, East Crane, Tokyo Marui, Classic Army, Strikearms. Taginn. Strikearms. A&K.
I have a Tokyo Marui G3 SG/1 that I bought 21 years ago. Just played a match with it a couple days ago.
Lancer Tactical is a pretty good brand for starter airsoft guns 👍
One of my favorite airsoft brands is ASG, They are more of a European brand but they are always solid with their stuff
1. LCT - same reasons as you tell
2. E&l - Same reasons as you tell, it is LCT for half of money
3. Cyma - It is Tokyo Marui for third of money
4. Specna - I love their edge 2.0 series, they just need a bit more better ak line in order to compete with Cyma and E&L
5. ASG - only because scorpion
