Cyma Airsoft Guns

If you want to get started in airsoft, then CYMA are who you want to be dealing with. The airsoft guns they make are plastic and lightweight, and come with accessories you'll need to play the sport, like goggles, gun batteries and red spots for the gun barrels (so the police don't think they're real guns!) CYMAs products also have the major benefit that they are very cheap compared to other manufacturers, like Tokyo Marui or ICS, with most of their pistols selling for under $50. This makes CYMA guns incredibly popular with beginners, and definitely worth buying if you want to get into airsoft.

Unlike the specialist airsoft manufactures, CYMA doesn't make gas powered guns, but just produces spring loaded guns, automatic electric guns; AEGs, and electric blowback pistols, or EBBs. Some of these guns operate very well, and are comparable to those of other manufacturers, however, due to the reputation that CYMA of making inferior airsoft guns, their products don't sell as well as they ought to.

Their most popular range of guns is the LPEG range, which includes many models that are often bought as collectors' items, due to their precise detail and full size scale, but are also widely used for their intended purpose, as BB guns, due to their good performance and features normally associated with top of the range AEGs, like very large capacity magazines, and as with most CYMA guns; their great price. However, there are also some downsides.

Many CYMA guns fire at a much lower speed than those made by other manufacturers. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as it makes them better for beginners or just for practice.

One of the things that other airsoft producers, in particular Tokyo Marui and ICS, have over CYMA is that they specialise in high-end airsoft products. CYMA also sell airsoft accessories like targets and pellets, and mini-moto bikes, which are wildly different from airsoft guns. They have recognised that this is a problem, but rather than specialising have begun imitating designs produced by Classic Army and Tokyo Marui. While this is less than ideal, it has boosted their image, and they have begun producing some much more impressive guns.

Recently, CYMA have released what is essentially a carbon copy of Classic Army's AK look-alike SLR-105. It is made from plastic rather than the original metal, but many have said it's much better than the original, and one of the best MPEGs ever made, with CYMA set to bring out more in the years to come.
