What to Consider When Buying a Sub Machine Gun
Airsoft SMGs are perfect for urban-style combat. When choosing yours:
-
Power Type: Most SMGs are AEGs (Automatic Electric Guns) for reliability, but gas blowback SMGs offer realism and recoil.
-
Rate of Fire: SMGs are known for rapid-fire capabilities – ideal for room clearing.
-
Size & Weight: Compact and lightweight, making them easy to carry for younger players or tight spaces.
-
Battery & Magazine Compatibility: Ensure your battery type and spare mags match your model.
SMGs blend assault rifle speed with pistol agility – perfect for aggressive playstyles.
Looking After Your SMG
-
Clean the barrel regularly for accuracy.
-
Use high-quality BBs to avoid internal damage.
-
For AEGs, don’t leave batteries plugged in when stored.
-
For gas SMGs, keep valves lubed and release gas after use.
A well-maintained SMG will last years – even under heavy use.
SMG vs. Rifle – Which Is Right for You?
SMGs are smaller, lighter, and offer a faster rate of fire – perfect for close-quarters combat or indoor arenas. Rifles, while larger, have better range and accuracy at long distances. If you're into CQB or need speed and mobility, go SMG. For outdoor fields or long-range support, consider a full-sized rifle.
