AEG (Allgemeine Elektrizitäts Gesellschaft) (English Translation: General Electric!) is a German producer of electronics and electrical equipment. AEG was founded in 1883 by Emil Rathenau who had bought some patents from Thomas Edison. AEG manufactured a range of aircraft from 1910 to 1918. During WWII AEG engineers played a significant role in developing the magnetic audio tape recorder.

In 1967 AEG joined with Telefunken and in 1969 they started working with Siemens. In 1985 AEG was bought by Daimler-Benz and sold in 1996.

AEG CONCERNING AIRSOFT: In the Military Simulation game of Airsoft, an AEG (or Automatic Electric Gun) uses a motor and three gears to cycle a piston at an average rate of 700 rounds per minute. These quick bursts of compressed air fire out a 6mm ABS plastic BB, at about 280 feet per second in a stock configuration.

These guns are the used most commonly in Airsoft skirmishes, as they look very realistic, and offer the greatest variety of modern firearm replicas. Also, their ease of use (only a battery is necessary, unlike the guns that run off of compressed gas) makes them the most popular gun to own and use in serious battles.

The main manufacturer of AEGs, Tokyo Marui, has been in the business the longest. While their guns are only equipped with a ABS plastic body, they are still considered to be the most reliable guns. Classic Army and ICS have proven themselves recently, moving up from their primitive, unreliable AEGs to their more recent, perfected guns. These two brands equip their guns with a solid metal body, making them a joy to hold and fire.
