Tokyo Marui L96 AWS Airsoft Sniper Rifle in Black

The Tokyo Marui L96 AWS is a full-blooded tribute to the legendary British Arctic Warfare sniper platform. Built to reflect the real steel Accuracy International L96A1—famous for its use across NATO forces—this spring-powered sniper rifle delivers authenticity, precision, and field reliability straight out of the box. If you're looking for a serious airsoft sniper platform with realistic mechanics and upgrade potential, this is a standout choice.

Weighing in at 3.46kg, the L96 AWS feels like a proper tool in the hands. Its durable polymer stock houses a metal internal chassis, outer barrel, and bolt assembly that lend it both strength and excellent balance. The rifle’s ergonomics are excellent, with an adjustable cheek rest and butt pad allowing you to dial in your comfort whether you're prone, kneeling, or resting against cover for a supported shot.

Where this rifle really breaks away from the pack is in its loading system. Instead of the usual front-mounted magazine seen on many airsoft sniper rifles, the AWS positions its 40-round die-cast metal mag exactly where you'd expect it on the real L96—beneath the stock. This unique feeding mechanism, powered by a clever internal 'escalator', ensures reliable chambering while keeping the aesthetics and handling spot-on. It's not just a gimmick—it's one of the most realistic and practical designs in the airsoft sniper world.

The bolt pull is smooth and satisfying, with minimal resistance thanks to Tokyo Marui's engineering. Despite being spring-powered, the action is efficient and quiet, perfect for sneaky takedowns. Power-wise, the rifle shoots around 280–330 FPS with 0.20g BBs in stock form. That’s skirmish-safe for UK sites while still delivering enough range and punch—especially when paired with heavier BBs like 0.28g or 0.30g for tighter groupings and better wind resistance.

Its 500mm precision inner barrel, combined with an adjustable hop-up located just under the barrel, means you'll be dialling in shots out to 50 metres with ease. The hop-up is tool-less and easily adjustable mid-game, allowing quick tweaks to suit range or conditions. And if you're the upgrading type, the L96 AWS is compatible with many VSR-10 internal parts, meaning springs, pistons, and barrels are all fair game for customisation.

The rifle also comes ready to mount optics with a 20mm RIS top rail. Prefer the traditional L96-style scope mount? You can remove the RIS rail and fit your own alternative to match the classic British marksman look. There’s also a built-in bipod mount compatible with ball-jointed bipods—ideal for adding stability during long-range engagements. A safety lever sits conveniently on the bolt, giving you functional control over your shots when waiting for the perfect moment.

All told, the Tokyo Marui L96 AWS is more than just a lookalike. It's a field-ready sniper rifle with real performance, thoughtful design, and one of the most immersive reload systems available in the airsoft world. If you're serious about precision shooting and appreciate a rifle that respects its real steel roots, the AWS deserves a place in your arsenal.
