E&C Airsoft

E&C Airsoft is the brand of East Crane, a Chinese airsoft gun maker founded in 2002 that builds AEG rifles, mostly M4 and AR-style platforms. Its range runs past 100 models sold in more than 30 countries, including licensed Colt, Daniel Defense, Strike Industries, Salient Arms and Troy replicas. Its best-known feature is the E-Bolt System (EBS), an electric blowback gearbox with a moving bolt and bolt lock, alongside a lighter nylon Sport Line. E&C deals only with dealers and distributors, so players buy its guns through airsoft shops worldwide.
