Manufactures of Airsoft

There are many different airsoft manufacturers around the world but most are in Asia. So in today's post, I'll name different types of popular asian airsoft manufacturers.

So the top airsoft manufacturer that comes from my head is "Tokyo Mauri". This manufacturer is in Japan (obviously because it says Tokyo)and is the forefather of airsoft. The only thing that is bad about this manufacturer is that it is too expensive although the parts are high quality but the fps is low and Japan needs to reconsider making the prices lower.


The next airsoft manufacturer that every pro airsoft player likes is G&G. This company is from Taiwan, another country that has high quality parts in their gun. It is a good price for their good quality parts (even the plastic is high quality!!) Other manufactures from Taiwan are G&P (not the same as G&G), SRC, ICS, CA (Classic Army), and other places... Trust me, there are alot of manufactures from Taiwan... I actually don't know why though.


So the last Asian manufacturer that is popular among us all are the Chinese manufactures. Now there are 2 main Chinese manufacturers that are popular and that is: CYMA and JG (Jing Gong). Which one is better? Well I don't want to make people go against one company because of their stuff or because I said so. To me, I like both manufacturers because of their fps power and their low cost. Why do they cost less than the average G&G or TM (Tokyo Marui)? Thats because its "MADE IN CHINA"... and the quality of the parts they use are not always that great. Also these Chinese companies are what you call "Clones" and what they mean by clones are that the guns are re-branded from mostly Tokyo Marui and thats why people call these the "Tokyo Marui Clones." Now this isn't that bad because these Chinese companies aren't bad at copying everything from the Tokyo Marui guns.


JG is probably the most popular chinese manufacturer because of their great kick in their guns for an affordable price. They mainly use ABS plastic with some metal but lately they have been making full metal guns which is pretty good. But the metal they use are not the high quality aluminum or steel, but pot metal.
Here is an example of JG's gun and their boxing (not the best unlike other manufacturers).

Now I didn't mention about CYMA and their manufacturing. CYMA is another Chinese company like I have mentioned but unlike JG, CYMA is a pretty decent company (not like JG is bad but CYMA is a bit better). Also, unlike JG which copies many varieties of Tokyo marui guns, CYMA mostly focuses on their AK variants which are really good. Now for a little brief history, CYMA used to make AK's that were low quality and their guns will shoot 200fps...with .12g bbs. But over time, they have improved and made better quality guns with extremely higher fps. Not also does it only make AK guns but also makes Mp5 guns that are little better quality than JG's. But, if you prefer some AK (47 or 74) for an affordable price with great (I emphasize on great) fps, CYMA is the way to go.
This is a typical CYMA boxing. I can ensure you that their boxing is little better than JG's because their cover acutally shows a great picture of your gun and shows description. You will notice it will say "CM" with numbers on it. Why do they do this? The CM is just a shorter way of saying CYMA but the numbers...even I don't know it. Ask some Chinese guy who works there... but he wouldn't know either. JG does the same thing (ex. real gun G36c=JG's G608).
