EdGi Bar-10 6.01mm Ported Tightbore Barrel. This barrel was $75 for the barrel it self, $5 for the porting at the end of the barrel, and $10 for shipping (If you live in the US and but from the US distributer). The barrel sent is $90 even. The barrel is 435mm long. This is a great barrel and possibly the best airsoft sniper rifle barrel on the market today. These barrel are made in the Philippines by EdGi and are sent to Ben in Delaware US for US distributing. Ben is a good guy to deal with and he is trustworthy. Paired with the Nine Ball hop-up bucking found at Airsoft Atlanta for $16.99, your accuracy and range will have a huge boost. EdGi also sells something called an EdGi kit. This includes a high-quality piston, spring, spring guide, sear set, and cylinder head. I haven’t bought these yet, but with all of that, you can be firing at close to 500-600 fps, maybe more. The thing is, Ben, the US distributer has stopped selling those power upgrades, so if you want to buy them, you have to buy straight from the maker, EdGi, in the Philippines. EdGi Bar-10 upgrades are the best upgrades you could possibly buy for an airsoft sniper rifle.

I wanted to silence my type 96 sniper rifle as much as possible, I’ve already added some custom buffing to the back of the cylinder head. My brother has a VSR G-spec that is super quiet thanks to the airbrake on the piston head, so I decided to make an airbrake for my piston head. NOTE: this will not work on the piston/head supplied with the rifle, all my cylinder internals have been replaced. It’s now as quiet as the G-spec, and i’m yet to add a silencer… 2nd NOTE: adding an airbrake will make your rifle quieter but will also decrease you fps. By shortening the airbrake, you will increase the fps but the rifle will get noisier. Any question just leave comments…
Do you return home in the evening, slump into an easy chair, pour yourself a stiff one and watch TV all night? If so, you may have the feeling that there’s something missing in your life and you may well be right. If you want to bring a sense of challenge and touch of excitement back into your life in a way that’s safe and inexpensive, the answer is airsoft guns. Here’s your complete guide to these wonderful items.
Airsofts are life-size replicas of real firearms including revolvers, pistols, snipers and rifles. Generally made of plastic, or plastic and metal, and you can also get metal airsoft guns. They fire small plastic pellets or BBs. Guns come in three types according to the type of firing mechanism – spring, gas and electricity.
Spring airsoft guns are the most basic and use a mechanical system. You need to cock them before firing just as you would with a real shotgun or bolt action rifle. Cocking the gun compresses a spring which is attached to a piston. Then when you pull a trigger, the piston shoots forward compressing the air in the cylinder firing the pellet. Because of the mechanism, they’re single shot weapons. Spring operated models are perfect for entry level users looking for cheap airsoft guns to test the waters.
Gas fired guns are more advanced. They use gas, usually green gas or carbon dioxide, to fire the pellets. The gas comes in canisters which load into the bottom of the magazine. Gas airsoft guns come in blowback and non-blowback types. The former are more functional as after firing, the gas blows back to reset the mechanism ready for the next shot. This feature also makes the airsoft feel more like a real gun.
The main advantage they offer over spring guns is the ability for rapid fire which is useful in the tumultuous environment of airsoft games. You can fire your gas gun as quickly as you can pull the trigger as the reloading mechanism is very efficient. In fact, they work in a way that’s very similar to real firearms.
Electric powered guns are now the most commonly used. Electric airsoft guns use electrical power from a battery to work a gear and piston system. Operation is usually semi and sometimes fully automatic. The latter are known as AEG (automatic electric gun) airsoft guns.
Now you know all about the different types of guns, let’s look at how you can use them.
The simplest way and the best way to start off is simply target practice. When you’re adept with your airsoft gun, it’s time to start thinking about joining in an airsoft game or skirmish. These are organized events that allow you to become a marine or FBI agent for an hour or a day, and use your skills to achieve an objective. It could be hostage rescue or the re-enactment of a historic battle.
Participating in an airsoft game permits you to live out a fantasy and escape from your daily routine for a while. It also allows you to test your mettle and weapons skills against your peers.
Providing a few simple rules and guidelines are followed, airsoft guns are extremely safe. Essentially you just need to use them in the right environment – firing range or organized game field, clean and maintain them regularly, and always wear protective gear.
Another great thing is that using these guns is very inexpensive. Other than buying new pellets, your expenses are minimal. With spring airsoft rifles, you don’t need a propellant as everything works manually. For gas guns you’ll need to top up you gas canisters every so often. Likewise with electric guns, you just have to charge them regularly and replace the batteries every now and again. Other expenses include paying fees at the firing range and for the airsoft games.
Airsoft guns can bring a world of pleasure and satisfaction into your life so check them out today. You can browse the web sites of online vendors and view the wide range available. Placing your order is a snap and your new firearm will be delivered in a few days. Remember they’re illegal in a few states and you have to be over 21 to buy one.

Hi there, Here is a short video of my custom Marui VSR10 Gspec sniper rifle. All internals are PDI. The rifle shoots at 465fps. It shoots with incredible accuracy and it’s also reproducible. Lot of work and adjustment were done but the result is above expectations !! In the video, tests = head shots at 45m (150ft), body shots at 70m(230ft). My current record = hit target at 90m (295ft). … Marui VSR VSR10 gspec G-spec custom fps bb airsoft sniper rifle PDI HD piston cylinder zero trigger …
The airsoft guns came into being in 1980 in Japan. Airsoft guns are the latest toy gun replicas. The airsoft games have been a rage with people worldwide. The reason being the guns are modeled exactly as the real guns are. Even their weight and reloading process is the same. These guns propel the 6mm non-metallic pellets at velocity ranging anywhere between 30-260 m/s by the means of spring-driven piston or compressed gas. It is fun, electrifying and passionate.
The guns are readily available in the market and thus, it is a challenging task to find an airsoft gun of your needs. You must choose a gun which suit your needs and budget well. You must keep the following things in consideration when you are to buy the airsoft gun:
Cost Maintenance Functionality FPS RPM Capability
There are three mechanisms of airsoft guns namely:
Electric powdered gun: they use a battery power to boost the shooting mechanism of the gun. They are quite popular with people and are quite expensive. The biggest advantage is that the spare batteries are quite smaller in comparison to the gas canisters. Gas powdered gun: the gas canisters are either attached to the gun by the hose or physically. The pressurized gas propels the airsoft gun BB’s. In case you plan to buy the airsoft can with small gas pistols, it is advisable to buy many gas canisters in one go. This will help you evade constant trips to the gas provider and help you save lot of time and energy. Spring loaded gun: they are least popular as they are neither automatic nor semi-automatic. After every firing the spring needs to be re-cocked and this obviously hampers the rapid succession of the airsoft gun BB’s.
Ask yourself what do you want to do with the gun? Hit the can, if yes then an inexpensive spring pistol will solve your purpose. And in case you want to participate in airsoft games then, an electric or gas rifle is a must! The cost and power of the airsoft guns are positively related. The higher the cost, the higher is the power of the gun.
Most people take the decision keeping the price factor in consideration rather than the purpose. The guns which have high round per minute (RPM) consume Airsoft Guns BB’s very fast. Thus, there is a constant need to refill them. Thus, you must never go in for expensive rifles in case you want to shoot the cans.
The airsoft gun BB’s should not be considered only a toy gun as many a times some serious injuries have been reported. Thus, it is important to know about the safety measures and the equipments relating to the airsoft games. Wearing an eye-protection is a must! Always cover your unexposed skin like hands, head and neck. Remember, precaution is better than cure, so equip yourself well before you get down to taste the real fun.

For the interested person who is looking to join the exciting and exhilarating fun of the sport of Airsoft, finding an affordable Airsoft gun is not as complicated as it may seem. Although some of the higher-end guns can be expensive, the average newcomer does not have to spend a small fortune to purchase and enjoy a quality Airsoft gun. Before the interested buyer begins to search for his optimal weapon, an understanding of the different types of guns that are available, and how these guns work can be very helpful.
Generally speaking, Airsoft guns fall into three different categories, which are defined by how the guns are designed and operate. The more complicated the inner mechanisms that fire the guns, usually the more expensive they become. The first category we will examine is the Automatic Electric Airsoft Gun or what is commonly referred to as the AEG. These electric guns are arguably the most popular guns among veteran Airsoft players. They have given the sport its greatest appeal and are singularly responsible for its explosive growth around the world. The AEG has an electric motor that is powered by an onboard battery. The motor turns the gears inside the gun, which in turn causes a piston to compress and release. The piston creates a blast of air that propels a 6mm plastic BB through the barrel of the gun. This fully automated system gives these guns the exciting rapid-fire feature that makes them so popular. These guns also tend to be the most expensive of the Airsoft gun family, usually costing around several hundred dollars.
The next group of guns to look at is the Gas Powered Airsoft guns. These guns operate by compressed air that fires the BB. The gas is either stored in an onboard cylinder or a gas filled magazine that connects to the gun. Some of the more popular styles are the gas blowback guns or commonly called the GBBs. The compressed air that fires the BB also returns the firing slide to the fire position at the same time. This return action creates a realistic “recoil” sensation from which the name blowback is derived. Reputed to be great fun to play with, the high-end GBB model guns can also cost around several hundred dollars. The non-blowback gas guns are less costly and start at around 40 dollars.
The last category of guns to look at is the Spring guns, which are also referred to as the “Springers”. Commonly tagged the cheap Airsoft gun, these spring guns were the original Airsoft models. In order for the gun to fire, a spring mechanism must be manually cocked back each and every time. Due to their simplistic design, the Springers are the most inexpensive and cost effective Airsoft guns. These guns are recommended as perhaps the best for entry-level players. Most players at some point have owned one of these models, which can be purchased for as little as 20 dollars.
In an effort to find a cheap Airsoft gun the shopper must keep in mind the value for the money. Even though one can purchase a gun for around 20 dollars, this does not mean that the gun is cheap in quality. A well made 20 dollar Springer can be a great value for the money, just as a two hundred dollar AEG can be a great value as well. Usually no matter the price, buying a gun from a well-established Airsoft manufacturer is important and worth the investment.
