357 Gas Airsoft Revolver
Classic airsoft
I want to introduct something about .
The term classic airsoft is used to describe any airsoft items that were produced before the advent of the modern electric guns (AEGs). The term is debatable; the common consensus is that for an airsoft gun to be a “classic” it must have been made before 1995, but there are exceptions. For example, many newer gas guns from companies like Tanaka and Digicon are often called classics, despite many of them being made after 1995. Owning a classic airsoft item is considered a status symbol among those in the airsoft community.
The origins of airsoft
Despite misconceptions that airsoft originated much later, it was actually first played in the late 1970s, stemming from the concept of realistic-looking guns that shot non-lethal projectiles for sporting and simulation purposes. There were guns of this style before airsoft, such as the Mattel “Shootin’ Shell” guns of the late 1950s. The US military even tinkered with ideas of this type after World War II. The BB guns that existed before shot metal BBs that could do a lot of damage to a person and in rare cases, kill them. Mattel’s guns were a novelty at best though.
Airsoft filled a void. It originated in Japan, where owning real guns was generally illegal. The first manufacturers were long-standing toy companies such as Masudaya, Fujimi, and Matsushiro. These companies decided it would be a good (and profitable) idea to market BB guns that could be safely shot at others in a similar manner to paintball guns, which were also becoming popular at that time. These guns were spring-powered, single-shot weapons and were often very crude in nature. Many used odd, proprietary ammunition, such as the 7 mm “Long Range” ammo some Masudaya guns used, or the soft rubber ammo used in TradeMark’s guns. Eventually, it was realized that a standard-size round BB would be cheaper and more efficient to produce. There were a variety of companies making guns during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Daisy enters the fray
The Daisy company had been known for over a century as the premiere producer of BB guns in the US. So in the early 80s, they decided to market airsoft in North America. Up until that time, airsoft was virtually unheard of outside of Japan. Daisy contracted the Maruzen company of Japan to manufacture a line of spring-powered guns to sell in the US. Most of these guns already existed in Japan and were essentially re-packaged for sale in North America. These guns used special BBs loaded into simulated shell casings. The line included:
Rifles/Submachine guns/Shotguns
Interdynamics KG-9 (Model 12)
IMI Mini-Uzi (Model 13)
Ruger Mini-14 (Model 14)
Heckler and Koch MP5K (Model 15) (though not accurate in external design)
Remington Wingmaster shotgun (Model 870)
M1918A2 (BAR)
Pistols
Colt Python .44 (Model 4)
Luger 9 mm Softair (Model 
Beretta M-92 U.S. Army sidearm (Model 9)
Walther P-38 (Model 38)
Colt .45 Auto U.S. Army sidearm (Model 45)
.357 Magnum revolver (Model 57)
All models were manufactured by Maruzen except the Model 15 H&K MP5K, which was made by Falcon Toy Corp.
These guns were as realistic in appearance as an airsoft or model gun had been up until this point, and many anti-gun and anti-violence organizations showed disfavor towards these items in America.

Modern Classics And The BV System
Around 1985, several Japanese airsoft companies began developing guns using the BV, or “Bullet Valve” system. BV used a direct flow of gas from an external tank, usually CO2 or compressed air, to power a mechanism which allowed the guns to fire in a fully automatic mode. Later models also included semi-automatic mode. Some people added “booster tanks,” empty air bottles to add to the effect of the air rig. These setups were generally called Flon Rigs.
Companies like JAC and Asahi Firearms led this revolution with Maruzen updating many of their old spring guns with the BV system as well. Asahi and JAC, whom often worked in conjunction with each other, developed airsoft versions of many guns, such as the British Sterling and the M60 machine gun. Other notable guns were Asahi’s German MG-34 and their version of the very rare Walther 2000. JAC made many new guns like the Thompson, BAR, and M3 Grease Gun.
Other companies, such as Kokusai, MGC, Toy-Tec, and FTC also made many guns with the BV system.
