All About Airsoft Spring Guns

I'm going to guess that your first airsoft gun was probably spring powered. I say this because these guns are usually the cheapest guns. You wouldn't want to go out and spend $200 on an AEG rifle if you didn't even know if you were going to like the sport of airsoft yet. Just because these guns are less expensive than other guns doesn't mean that they are just for novices. They can be very useful for many reasons.

Airsoft spring pistols are usually plastic but some due come in metal versions. These are very useful in close quarters battle (CQB) or any other kind of airsoft battle as a secondary weapon. These pistols must be cocked after every shot by pulling the slide back. Just because they are spring powered does not mean that they are weak or under powered. Some may shoot up to 400 feet per second!

Many airsoft shotguns are spring powered. Shotguns can be very powerful and effective for clearing out a room in CQB. These guns are not as useful for outdoor play as they do not hold accuracy over a long distance very well. This is due to the wide shot pattern they have. They can shoot 3 to 6 bb's in one shot at a rate of speed. These guns also must be cocked for each shot. This seems less inconvenient as cocking a pistol every time because shotguns are pump action. This mimics the real thing.

Nearly all airsoft sniper rifles are spring guns. These guns do not need to be automatic electric due to their use. Most sniper rifles are bolt action. This is a lever that must be pulled up and back to chamber another round. These airsoft guns are rarely cheap plastic models, but more metal, high-end units. Sniper rifles are longer than other spring guns so they have better accuracy. Bi-pods and scopes are commonly used with these.
