Golden Eagle Type 96 Airsoft AEG Rifle Support Gun - Real Wood Edition
The Golden Eagle Type 96 is a battlefield beast—a full-metal, real-wood, WWII-era light machine gun replica that delivers serious presence, performance, and historical authenticity in one exceptional AEG. Modeled after the iconic Japanese Type 96 LMG, this airsoft gun is built for the dedicated support gunner who wants to control the pace of the field while turning heads with an ultra-unique loadout.
Crafted with a full-metal body and real wood stock, grip, and carry handle, the Type 96 is a faithful homage to its WWII counterpart. The 1170 mm length and substantial 6.5 kg weight offer a commanding physical presence—this isn’t just an airsoft gun, it’s a replica worthy of any reenactor’s wall or serious MilSim role.
It’s not just about looks. Internally, this AEG is just as solid. A 6.02 mm tightbore inner barrel stretches 550 mm for superior long-range accuracy, while the rotary HOP-up unit lets you dial in the right BB trajectory with ease. Version 2 gearbox compatibility means you can upgrade or replace components easily—rare for a niche LMG platform. And the internal steel 18:1 gearset and 8 mm bushings provide reliable cycling and rate of fire.
Where this gun really shines is in sustained suppressive fire. The included 700-round top-mounted flash magazine feeds efficiently, mimicking real steel reloading practices. Its ambidextrous release and vertical profile make it ideal for prone or stationary firing positions. Meanwhile, the steel folding bipod—mounted via alloy brackets—offers rock-solid stability, even on uneven terrain. You’ll love the confidence it gives when covering angles or locking down objectives.
The rear-wired battery system fits neatly into the wooden stock, accepting a 7.4V 2300mAh LiPo via a mini-Tamiya connector with generous space for wiring. No frustrating cramming here. Plus, the external features—mock gas adjuster, spiral cooling fins, steel dust covers, and enlarged charging handle—echo the detail-focused construction that sets this replica apart.
This rifle operates in full-auto only, as it should, and sits at around 400 FPS, pushing roughly 1.49 J of energy with 0.20g BBs—perfect for outdoor fields and open-area engagements. Its purpose is clear: lay down fire, control the field, and suppress enemy movements while your team maneuvers around you.
Whether you're into reenactment, looking for a historically inspired squad support weapon, or just want the most eye-catching and immersive LMG in your arsenal, the Golden Eagle Type 96 stands alone. Combine it with a solid team, a high-cap battery, and a pack of extra mags, and you’ll be the backbone of your squad in every game.
