How to read a LoadoutLab build
Every build on LoadoutLab is a full shopping list for one airsoft gun. Here’s what you’re looking at.
The headline
At the top you’ll see the build name, the stock gun it starts from, and a few big numbers:
- FPS — how fast the BB leaves the barrel (usually with 0.20g BBs). Match this to your field’s limit.
- Total — what the whole setup costs if you buy every part listed.
- Thumbs — how many players liked it.
The parts list
Under that is every piece in the build:
- Stock gun — the base AEG (or other replica) the build starts with.
- Upgrades — magazines, hop-up bucking, barrels, lights, and so on.
- Price next to each part — what that item costs at the linked shop.
Add the prices and you get the total. Want only the upgrade cost? On Discover, set price to "Parts only" to hide the base gun.
Play style tags
Builds are grouped by how people use them — CQB, outdoor, night games, milsim, speedsoft, DMR & sniper, beginner, and budget. Use those to filter to what you actually play.
What to do next
- Copy a build — buy the same parts and run the same setup.
- Post yours — add a photo, your parts and prices, and your FPS so other players can learn from it.
LoadoutLab is for airsoft and toy replicas only — not real firearms.
