If you miss the Weapon Blender Gun Builder, then miss it no more as there's another interactive  custom airsoft gun builder that is  now online and we do like what it promises to the airsoft player. In what probably is a bright future for online airsoft retail, Airsoft Megastore (AMS) just unveiled their AMS Custom Airsoft Gun Builder.

Our gripe about the Gun Builder of Weapon Blender (which is now offline) is that there is no real-time calculation of costs as based on the prices of the parts and accessories put into the custom build. Airsoft Megastore's version does it better and we hope that they continue on improving the system since for now it's still in its early version and only available for the AR/M4 platform. The AK Platform will be following soon.

This means that you can put your own custom airsoft gun together depending on your budget. You can mix and match and watch the total price for your build displayed. If it's over your budget, you can remove a part here, an accessory there, until you are satisfied with the build and the price quoted  by the interactive gun builder. Place your order and the gunsmiths of Airsoft Megastore will do the rest. All you have to do is relax and wait until it's delivered to your doorstep.

It would be nice if it has a drag, drop and remove option like Dr. Noob's "Pimp My Gun" which would make it even more interactive and a treat to use.

We'll let Ross Collins explain further on how you are going to use the AMS Custom Airsoft Gun Builder in this video:

The beauty of this gun builder, apart from the real-time cost calculator, is that each part and accessory you put has a description and product information for you to understand what you're putting on your custom airsoft gun. This means that you are fully aware of the specifications, features, and pricing of each part and accessory. Overall, you are in full control on what goes into your airsoft gun. All Airsoft Megastore has to do is put together your custom airsoft gun according to your exact specifications.

These days, we want things customized or personalized according to our tastes, and the internet and computer software allow for that. Airsoft Megastore is very much aware of that and has created a very useful tool that we highly suggest that you visit the AMS Custom Airsoft Gun Builder page to kick the tires and find out how what it lacks and tell them what they need to improve on.

This means more work for the web guys of Airsoft Megastore as the gun builder needs to be further improved in terms of product database and weapons platforms that can be customized. If you like what you see and find it  a very useful interactive tool with lots of potential, we highly suggest then help them improve the gun builder such as reporting bugs to fix and making feature requests that they can include in future version.
