Asahi Firearms (Japanese:アサヒファイアーアームズ) was a model company from Japan who operated in the 1980s and 90s. It was a subsidiary of Asahi Shoji Company and not the camera-maker, the Asahi Optical Corporation. Asahi firearms was one of the early pioneers of the Airsoft hobby and created guns during the classic Airsoft period,[1] whose products are still popular with collectors.[2] The company went defunct in 2011.
Background
Asahi Firearms was successful in development and manufacture of BV type gas gun, and had specialized in high-end models made of metal parts. It was recognized by users at that time as a high-end manufacturer with high quality and price, and its sales peaked from the end of the 1980s to the beginning of the 1990s along with its competitors JAC[3] and Maruzen.[1]
Asahi's airsoft guns are known for their high durability. Other manufacturers during the "classic" airsoft period used resin pipes internally, as opposed to metal. The resin would wear out faster than metal pieces in the Asahi guns. Before the development of the hop-up system, the durability of the and strength of the Asahi guns increased the power and distance of their guns.[citation needed]

and the power was increased in order to increase the flight distance, and Asahi's gas guns became active in the "dark ages". However, nowadays, such a robust construction has become a dead end, or most of the solids fall under the quasi-air gun of the revised gun sword method, and it is impossible to carry it as it is on sale. However, there are still fans who like the sound and atmosphere peculiar to Asahi's BV type gas, and such users have taken legal measures such as low pressure operation of the internal unit and incorporating a pressure limiting device, and used it as a legal product.[citation needed]
The M4 series manufactured by M & G, which currently manufactures and sells BV type gas guns, has similarities in the structure of the unit and the magazine made by Asahi can be used, so the influence of this manufacturer's product is not a little.[citation needed]
