What is the best Airsoft AK47/Kalashnikov?
I realized that these days finding a high-quality airsoft AK47 requires a lot of time and research. A lot of airsoft guns are just imported from Chinese manufacturers and are terrible in quality. The quality ones are hard to find and rare. Luckily for you, I did this selection so you won’t have to search cluelessly around the web for something worthy of buying.
I consider that the scarcity of quality airsoft guns has multiple reasons. One would be that airsoft is a pretty unpopular niche if you think about it. Many companies prefer to concentrate on high-volume selling niches like outdoors, electronics, etc. That is one of the reasons you do not see such a fierce competition in the airsoft market.
So without further ado, let’s see what is the best airsoft ak47?
-Winner- Best overall airsoft AEG/AK47
1. Kalashnikov AK47 Electric Airsoft Rifle
This is one of the best airsoft AK47s on the market. There are plenty reasons why this is a fantastic gun. I will try to enumerate all here.
The build quality is pretty much unmatched among airsoft AK47s that I saw on the market. It is mostly made of metal although with some quality plastic parts like the handles, mags and railing for the front grip. In the hand, it feels quite genuine like a real AK47 which for me is a big plus and for a lot of airsoft professionals.
The fire rate of 600 rounds per minute is insane and is one of the most surprising things about this gun. The pellets are shot with a high accuracy at a rate that not many other airsoft guns can replicate. The FPS is variable depending on the ammunition you use, but is generally around 400-450 FPS.
Feature List:
- Fully-automatic, up to 600 rounds per minute
- Approx. 400 FPS (depending on the BBs)
- Metal components like the frame, barrel, and gearbox
- Electric airsoft rifle (AEG)
- Good quality batteries and charger
- Fantastic accuracy for an automatic airsoft gun
- 2 magazines in the package
- Good quality materials even if some parts are plastic
- No blowback
- 0.20 gram BBs
- 22mm rail
Overall this is hands down one of the best if not the best airsoft ak47 money can buy at the moment. The attention to detail is great, the build is fantastic, the materials are premium for the most part and the price is reasonable for what it offers. This is the best buy in its category, for sure and I definitely recommend it to both amateurs and professionals.
Best Quality Airsoft AK47
2. AEG AK47 Kalashnikov Full Metal Body and Wood
This is a similar AK47 with the one above although with something even better. It has wooden parts instead of plastic. It is so well made that you can easily mistake it with a real AK47.
Since it is fully automatic the fire rate is sick and projectiles reach an insane range of around 240 ft. As opposed to the AK47 before, this one features an Electronic Blowback Technology in order to feel even more realistic.
Feature List:
- 400-450 FPS (depending on BBs)
- Fully-Automatic
- Adjustable shooting system
- Metal and wood construction, very realistic
- Electric blowback system
- 2 mags with capacity of 600 rounds
- 35 inches length and 8 LBs weight
- No wobble of the parts
- Not jamming even after heavy use
I like this gun very much, it has all what it takes to be in the top 3 best airsoft AK47 rifles. The build quality is great, the fire fire rate is sick, it feels insanely realistic and it doesn’t disappoint.
Yes it is kind of expensive, although if you want an airsoft gun that looks, feels and acts professionally then you have to get this one. I think it is worth it.
3. Lancer Tactical AEG AK 47 Airsoft Rifle
While not as popular as the two AK47s above this is a reasonable airsoft AK47 for those who do not want something too fancy. It is affordable, good looking, it works like it is supposed to for the most part and it is perfect for beginners and those who do not want to invest large sums of money.
It feels pretty realistic in the hand although I am not a fan of the plastic the company used in the manufacturing of this gun. The grip is ergonomic and the mag is easy to swap for most of the time.
Feature List:
- Plastic build with metal parts
- 500 rounds magazine
- 1200 mAh battery
- Around 400 FPS
- Slide rail for accessories
- Sling ring
- 34.5 inches length 5.10 LBs weight
- Kind of realistic feel although the plastic gives it away
- Good accuracy
This is definitely not a professional or flawless AK47. It is for those who do not want to spend a fortune on airsoft equipment like beginners. Actually, I recommend it to beginners more than to anyone else because they can easily decide whether they like airsoft or not.
