Understanding Airsoft Gun Types

Airsoft guns are getting more and more popular. People around the world are appreciating airsoft as adults' toys as well as a good sport. With skirmishes and battles being staged in various terrains, plus several airsoft guns being made as authentic as possible according to the original real-gun counterpart, it is only a matter of time before the sport gets full acknowledgment from the rest of the world. There are different types available, and we are going to discuss them in this article.

The first and most basic type is spring airsoft guns, also called springers. It is basically a single-shot device powered by energy stored using spring-based mechanism. You will have to pull the lever or slide of the gun to make each shot; the mechanism used is obliging you to cock a spring gun prior to each shot because the spring will then held at the end of the gun's barrel to propel the BB bullet. Although there are handguns and machine guns using this type of mechanism, this type of mechanism works best for single-shot sniper rifles and shotgun.

Electric guns use batteries and electrical mechanism to propel the BB bullets. Known as AEG or Automatic Electric Gun, electric guns base its mechanism on the use of internal piston or spring assembly powered by a rechargeable battery. You will also find different model of AEGs, with some suitable better for professionals and experienced players than the other. You will not have to worry about cocking the gun prior to each shot at all. In fact, you can choose between automatic and semi-automatic firing when you use AEGs.

Last but not least, we have gas guns. This is probably the most expensive type available, as well as the most convenient. This type uses pressurized propane or "green gas" to propel bullets. There are also models using HFC134a refrigerant, CO2, and nitrogen as the source of power. You can choose between semi-automatic and automatic firing as well. Plus, you can also get similar recoil effect, known as blowback.
