Airsoft Support Guns for Every Mission

Airsoft Support Guns are built to dominate the battlefield through sustained automatic fire, allowing players to suppress opponents, defend objectives and support teammates during fast-paced games. Larger magazine capacities, longer barrels and realistic military styling make these replicas a favourite among MilSim enthusiasts and dedicated support gunners.

Our collection of airsoft guns includes some of the most recognisable support weapons in airsoft. From the ever-popular M249 SAW and modern MK46 to classic M60, MG42, PKM, RPK and impressive rotary-style mini guns, you'll find a support weapon to suit almost every playing style and budget.

If you don't have a valid defence under the Violent Crime Reduction Act (VCRA), we also stock a range of two-tone airsoft support guns, allowing newer players to enjoy the performance of a support weapon while remaining UK compliant.
