Getting to Know Airsoft Mini-Gun: Its Features and Benefits

Aside from standard guns like assault rifle, machine gun, and sniper, an Airsoft mini-gun is another interesting addition, either to your weaponry for Airsoft battles or to your Airsoft artillery collection. This gun resembles the barrel-style machine guns used by soldiers in real battles, providing the same effect, feel, and action.

These airsoft weapons are said to have started from the Asahi guns, which were manufactured by Asahi Firearms Co. during the 90s. These guns were the exact replica of the real M134 and could fire 6mm plastic pellets. It had complex designs and used small DC battery as source of power. The introduction of the Asahi guns has spurred the interest of many manufacturers. Many other types of mini-guns were manufactured soon after; most of which are already using electric motor as source of power instead of small DC battery.

Although termed mini-guns, Airsoft mini-guns' appearance doesn't say so. These replica weapons are remarkable for their enormous weight and large size that one person can't handle one of these guns alone. Airsoft mini-guns are meant to be mounted on a tripod for easy use and convenience. These guns may not be excellent in terms of accuracy, but its high rate of fire makes its attractive and preferred by many. This barrel type of machine gun can produce a very high rate of fire of over 3,000 rounds per minute.

Also called Gatling guns or chain guns, these Airsoft guns are driven by an electric motor, which regularly and constantly feeds ammunition into the guns' chamber and continuously rotates the barrels, providing excellent firing mechanism. Because of their outstanding rate of fire, these Airsoft weapons are primarily used for spraying bullets at enemies. Another remarkable feature of these Airsoft guns is its ability to shoot at various distances. They can shoot from 200 fps to 700 fps. Setting up a few of these guns to guard your team is sure to make you nearly impossible to defeat.

With their interesting features and exceptional benefits, the mini-gun can truly be a real treat to gun collectors and excellent additions to Airsoft players' weaponry. It's sad to say though that, primarily due to its large size, only a few companies manufacture them. Piper's Precision Products currently has two types of mini-guns in production. The first one is the compact Airsoft gun called Venom, which fires at 350 fps and has a cyclic fire rate of 75 rounds per second. The second one is the M134-A2, which is a replica of the earlier M134 gun, but with enhancements in its designs. M134-A2 can fire both plastic Airsoft pellets and steel BBs at the speed of 42 rounds per second and at 280 fps to 600 fps.

Depending on the type and style of Airsoft mini-gun that you wish to purchase, you might have to shell out a whopping amount of $4,500 to $6,000. For individuals who are into collecting guns, these guns are definitely great additions to their collection. In fact, many people are already saying that, instead of being used in Airsoft battles, Airsoft mini-guns soon will become great collectors' items. The fact that only a few of them are manufactured once in a while also makes it more attractive to collectors.
