I took the time to browse walmart, dick's sporting goods and bass pro shop for airsoft Guns. Specifically to see which brands they all carry. This airsoft world is vast, with many manufacturers to choose from. My online experience has exposed companies to the likes of KWA and Jag Precision. With the type of technology companies like these are developing, I had to see what was in-store for purchase. I took the route of mixing brick and mortar with their online branded sites. These days that's where it's at and I didn't want to negate that factor. The thought of writing this post came as an afterthought, as I've visited these store in the past......and ummm have not taken any pictures of each isle. That task has just been added to my to-do list. Overall, in-store supply of airsoft guns and accessories at places like these concentrate on the introductory level. It's still good to know that when you search their online sites, you see they try to work hard at keeping up to date.
Walmart is the most convenient place to visit, and I've been through their airsoft section about twice in the last five months. You just can't beat what's found online today....or maybe you do. Anyway, you get the classic feel from brands like Daisy and Crosman. I've seen HK or Heckler and Koch licensed airsoft guns there. Now I didn't get too excited as there always guns packaged in plastic. That for me is the first turn off of making an airsoft purchase. I'm not a bugie outdoors kind of guy, but nice things just come in boxes a lot of the time. Walmart carries other brands like ASG and Umarex on their site. All in all, for a quick spring action pistol or rifle that you can pick up quickly your good.
As you walk into a place like Dick's Sporting Good you begin to feel like your in the right place for airsoft gear. Still keeping in mind that I am in an outdoors sports store, I didn't get my hopes up for much. Apparently, they carry a different line of brand from Walmart aside from Crosman. I did cross SoftAir. Their owned by Cybergun which is an airsoft company that has been around since 1983. The Sig Sauer SP2022 was on the shelf. That's all I can really remember from my last visit, since it was summer 2017.
My last visit to Bass Pro Shop was during the summer of 2017 also. Really my son and I take trips to their to explore. I Went online and you can't visit any of the above mentioned locations or online stores without seeing Crosman. There are what I consider really expense airsoft rifles from a company called Benjamin Marauder, one even going for $699.99. You should think twice before believing that Airsoft hasn't become that serious.
If your really into reconfiguring guns or just want the real feel from an airsoft gun, your best bet is to find a local airsoft store in your area. Should that not be an option, then hit up www.evike.com. I don't even have an referral account with these guys. They just have a wide range of airsoft stuff along with enough reading material to paint a true picture for you. I prefer top quality airsoft guns. That means size, weight, trigger pull and function match to the real thing. With those features, I find myself looking at airsoft companies like KWA, WE and Gletcher. Which ever direction you go in to find your perfect gun, just make sure you learn first. It's always great to get hands on experience before making an online purchase. I recommend finding a brick and mortar store or ordering a $50-$75 airsoft pistol onine and trying that out. Within that price range you should be able to have a good start in becoming an Airsofter.
