What kind of airsoft plastic is the strongest?

Answer 1

ABS plastic is used quite often in airsoft guns, especially in guns made in China. The strongest plastic in airsoft is probably the plastic used on the Real Sword Type 97, which is advertised as "high strength polymer material" but is really the same plastic used on the real steal Type 97 (since both the airsoft and real steel versions are made by the same company it is probably the best built airsoft gun externally short of a CTW or PTW). In the market it is often hard to tell which guns have high quality plastic and which have cheap plastic because it is all advertised as high strength or high quality polymer. The best way to tell is to go to an airsoft store and feel it for yourself. Also, the price of the gun is usually a dead giveaway, because any gun with really good plastic will be over $300.
