An Overview of Airsoft

Airsoft is a modern sport by which players make use of replica firearms to shoot their fellow competitors with plastic BB pellets. This game is similar in appearance and mechanics of paintball. Nevertheless, both differ in weapon and ammunition. The history of Airsoft begins way back during the 1980s in Japan where the possession and use of guns were strictly punishable by law. As a means to train the country's military soldiers, the people found a way to manufacture firearms that are completely identical to genuine guns. This training became a hobby, and then soon turned into the sport that we now recognize as Airsoft. As the law that prohibits the ownership of guns also applies to most Asian countries, Japan started exporting their replica firearms, as well as the sport, to Taiwan, the Philippines, and Korea. Soon, the Western world started sending toy guns and pellets to Europe and America. It was during the 1990s when the first Airsoft playing ground was established in Japan. Currently, sports stores sell Springer kits, a set which allows the consumer to create his own Airsoft gun. Nowadays, Airsoft locations can be found in almost every major city worldwide.

One of the more popular firearms in this game is the M14 airsoft rifle. As you may know, the name of this rifle came from the real M14 battle firearm that was used exclusively by the best military soldiers and officers. It is most famous for its accuracy, even when fired at a long distance, as well as its manly, rock look. In terms of Airsoft, replicas of the M14 are still being manufactured, carefully maintaining every detail, specification, and ability of the genuine brand. A leading producer of the M14 and other airsoft snipers and rifles is China's UTG Sport, where UTG stands for "Under the Gun". This company is in partnership with the Leapers, Inc. industry. UTG guns are faithfully copied from their original counterparts, from intricate details down to the size and weight, as well as the plastic bullets' diameter. Contrary to popular belief, the UTG M14 is not built from real wood, but from various ABS stocks. Its interior barrel feature and moving bolt are created from pure metal and complimentary finishing color touches.

UTG airsoft rifles are operated by rechargeable batteries, which can be replenished by a special charger. No special type of battery is required to employ this kind of replica firearm. Airsoft snipers commonly use the UTG M14 because it is easily adjustable from manual to automatic firing. While the Leaper's firearm was made to mimic the shooting prowess of the real one, the replica is made to fire pellets at a slower pace, to lessen the risks of injury and dangerous hazards. Some game snipers enjoy this weapon because of its silent shooting sound and long-range accuracy. The UTG M14 is presently one the most sought after Airsoft rifle because of its overall quality performance and cool appearance. You can read more information on this sport at M14 Airsoft.

Airsoft Guns For Your Preference

The airsoft guns function with the facilities of gases such as propane or CO2 and green gas. The guns are usually made for the purpose of recreation and they are operated manually. The guns are to be used by the children of the age 16 and above. The guns are not harmful at all. The person when fires the guns the speed of the projectiles are very less and this is because they are light in mature. But still there are few guns which could be used only by players above the age of 18. There are various types of airsoft guns listed below:

Spring powered, these guns have elastic potential energy stored in the spring is used to compress the air to fire the pellet. The spring gun should be cocked before the shot. They are not powerful as gas or electric models. But some shotguns and sniper rifles are powerful and they can fire at 500 fps.

Automatic electric guns, these guns run on a rechargeable battery which drives the motor. They are the most common type among all the airsoft guns. They were developed in Japan. These guns are popularly known as AEGs (Automatic electric guns) and that is because of their automatic and semi automatic operation.

The hybrid guns are one of the latest in the present market. The guns belong to the AEG TYPE but they are much more real when compared to the other models. These guns would fire each round for a shell. They would also have the shell casing ejection when a pellet is shot from the gun. This fires the cap and gives out smoke and a real good sound close to the actual guns.

Low powered electric guns, they are popularly known as LPEGs just to distinguish from the AEGs. Don't confuse them with mini electrics. They can be found at comparable prices and that is the reason they are considered as better choices.

The medium powered electric guns are very versatile guns but they are the copy of the guns that are manufactured by the big names such as classic army originals and Tokyo Marui. These guns would be fully compatible and are also know as MPEG. The spring guns are manufactured by mini electrics company known as UHC. These guns are very famous and are mostly used for the practicing purpose and they are significantly different from the LPEG.

Automatic electric pistol is very common guns used in the very cold climatic conditions and they have a slightly better sidearm. These guns are also known as AEPs, it was introduced to the market in 2005. The guns work with the assistance of electric powered system and they have a fixed slide which makes them easy to operate. The classic airsoft guns are the old ones which work with the assistance of gas. The guns use the help of external gas such as CO2 and usual gas.

You can buy airsoft guns based on the power and range you want and you can check out some good deals over the net. Some times there are discounts are available. There are many sites which have good choices of airsoft guns with the latest models.

Airsoft Rifle Tips

An airsoft rifle is one example of airsoft guns that are becoming increasingly popular in North America. Although the equipment closely resembles a real rifle in most respects, it is not capable of doing the same type of damage as a real weapon that means it's safer to use for a wide variety of purposes. Whether you're interested in joining a team for a skirmish battle or you want to practice your shooting skills without running the risk of keeping real arms around your home, investing in airsoft rifles is one of the best ways to accomplish your goals. Below are some helpful facts that might help you get started in the right direction.

Making the right Choice

Airsoft firearms come in a wide variety of types and models. You'll find that most are very close replicas of real models. In fact, the similarities have been so close in some cases that trademark infringement has become an issue. However, you don't have to stick to just real-world weapons, such as the sniper rifle. You'll also find an airsoft gun or two that are designed to replicate fictional weapons, such as the firearms used in movies such as Aliens. With these weapons, you can simulate science fiction battles outside of your imagination or your video game console.

No matter what type of airsoft shooting you plan to be doing, the important thing is to avoid purchasing the cheapest models you can find. Many of these are poorly constructed models from China that simply aren't capable of being used for competitive airsofts shooting.

Instead, you want to find a reliable dealer who can help steer you to some of the better names in the business and who can answer the questions you have about the equipment before you spend the money. After all, most people who are interested in taking up the electric airsoft rifle hobby invest a couple of hundred dollars initially at first.

Understand Safety Precautions

When you're using airsoftrifles, you should always be careful and take safety precautions. For example, you should only use them when you away from anyone who could be inadvertently injured by the pellets. Although they definitely don't pack the punch of real bullets, they can be painful and can cause serious injury if you receive a hit to the head, face, or eyes. Finding a good, far away location for their use is a good idea whether you'll be shooting your airsoft rifle alone or as part of a team.

Make sure you also wear the proper face and eye protection when using the equipment. Like bullets, pellets can sometimes ricochet and cause damage to the shooter unexpectedly. If you're playing with other people, being hit by unfriendly fire is part of the game but you want to make sure to protect yourself from any type of serious injury. Otherwise, you could end up not only costing your team the match but you could find yourself out of commission for a while. Using your airsoft rifle safely just ensures you can keep enjoying it for a long time.

Airsoft Team Positions

Airsoft is a versatile game. It can be played in warehouses or outside in forests or fields. Many scenarios can be run through, and many different situations can be encountered. The airsoft player must be equipped to appropriately handle the situations he or she might face during a game. Part of being prepared for the correct situations is playing an appropriate role. The squad in which every member knows their place will be the far more effective one.

There are many specific roles on a team, but they can be separated into four main categories. Assault, CQB, sniper, and heavy gunner are the main team roles. The majority of airsoft players will start out as assault or CQB depending on their playing environment. However, for some the call of a sniper rifle or heavy machine gun will be too strong and they will inevitably land in these roles.

The assault gunner fills the standard infantry role. Most members of a squad will fall in this category. Assault gunners use assault rifles, such as the M16, M4, or AK-47. These rifles will usually be set up for a good medium between ROF and accuracy. A tight bore barrel is an excellent first upgrade for a player wishing to fill the assault role. Tactical gear should be substantial enough for extra mags and grenades, but not so bulky as to confine movement. Various grenade launchers are unnecessary but highly encouraged.

CQB is similar to assault gunner but with a greater emphasis placed on close quarters battles, hence the name. Those playing indoors in warehouses or on very small fields may want to consider the CQB role. Submachine guns are generally the weapon of choice for CQB specialists, with MP5 variants being very popular and widely available. There is a greater emphasis placed on ROF than accuracy or power, an appropriate first upgrade would be a more powerful battery. SWAT gear and tactical vests with cross draw holsters are very popular for CQB.

Sniper is probably the most popular support role as everyone loves living out their Call of Duty fantasies. There is a huge market for airsoft sniper rifles with electric, bolt-action or gas options abound. Many fields allow special rules for snipers, where sniper rifles can clock in sometimes as high as 700FPS. These fields generally include an engagement rule whereby snipers must switch to a sidearm if the opponent is within 100 feet. To qualify for the higher FPS sniper rifles generally have to be either single shot or modified in a way to make switching them to automatic fire impossible.

Heavy gunner is the role everybody secretly wants to play, but most of us can't afford. Playing heavy gunner properly is usually very expensive, as prices for the appropriate guns run high. Good M249 replicas are some of the more expensive replicas around. Heavy gunner can be done cheaply though, for example many companies offer affordable RPK models. Heavy gunners generally like to load on the equipment, as moving fast with an M249 is pretty impossible anyway. There are even airsoft miniguns available that require someone to follow the gunner around with a duffel bag full of ammo.

These are the four main roles to fill on an airsoft team. They each have their own guns and equipment associated with the role, and different mindsets when playing. Which one to choose is up to every individual player, but know that some guns, such as the M16, can be modified to fit into almost any role. Because airsoft guns are all essentially the same internally, how the gun is upgraded is the most important factor in determining effectiveness in varying situations.

Airsoft FPS - What Does it Mean

When buying an airlift gun, there are a few things you need to take into consideration. Weight, accuracy, color, design and FPS.

Now, if you are a computer gamer, FPS would normally mean First Person Shooter, but in the world of Airsoft, it is a figure that lets you know how powerful the gun or pistol is. FPS stands for "Feet Per Second" and lets you know how far and how fast the BB pellet will travel once fired. The higher the number, the faster and further the BB will travel.

Each weapon will have a rating and depending on what kind of gun you are buying, they will vary from less than 100 to over 300. The higher rated guns will most likely be sniper rifles or more professional guns.

The type of Airsoft gun you get will also have a bearing on what the FPS rating will be. Electric and spring loaded guns will have a lower FPS, but the compressed gas guns will have the highest. This is purely down to the mechanics of how the gun fires and is operated, nothing more than that.

So, when choosing your air soft gun, look for the FPS. If you want to shoot longer distances with more power, go for the higher rated weapons. If you are only using it at home, chose the ones with less power. It all depends on what you will be doing with the gun, where you will be using it and what you expect it to do. A low power gun will be perfect for hitting tin cans in your back yard.

Airsoft Wargames - An Alternative Sport

Have you ever thought that your sports hobbies like baseball, basketball, or football are too common nowadays? Why don't you try something new? If you're a type of person that seeks a pure adrenaline rush, mind blowing suspense action, strategy, and tactics, then Airsoft is a good fit for you!

What is Airsoft?

Airsoft is a game where you use Guns (not the real ones) but is an Airsoft Gun powered by compressed air, manual spring or bolt action, or electrically powered gearbox. They are replicas of the real fire arms like the M16 Armalite, AK47, and PSG 1 sniper, but even though they are just replicas, they feels like real! Especially those of "full metal" types where the body of the Gun is mainly made out of metal.

In the game, you play as a team in a particular battlefield, the goal of the game is to eliminate the opposing players by hitting them by your gun with plastic pellets (called BB's) usually at.20 grams measuring 6mm in diameter. Yes! It's plastic because metallic ones can cause severe injury when it hits a person.

How To Play:

Airsoft players can organize meetings and game in specialized battlefields adapted to feature bunkers, walls, providing realistic battle scenarios. When in combat in the field, it often involves common military tactics, applying appropriate strategy with the aid of useful battle gears. Back in 1970's, Airsoft started in Japan, they started to manufacture non- lethal gun replicas that fires calibers of plastic or rubber BB's. It was at first all spring powered but improved into gas- powered ones.

How you play the game usually employs an "Honor System" where the players rely on each other's honesty admitting if self is hit. The indication of being hit is when a player truly feels the impact of the velocity from the BB that is fired by another opposing player, in some cases there are friendly fire, meaning your team mate accidentally hits you, but it is not counted or considered a "Hit" to make you out of the game. The thrill of Airsoft is supported by Military simulations or "Mil-sims." It is actually a mind blowing situation where it depicts the real military fights including reduced amount of ammunition or BB's to re-enact the real Gun's low capacity magazines ranging from only 20 rounds to a maximum of 100 rounds. One example is the M4 and M16 series which only have 30 rounds. There is also a mission here and it can last up to days unlike the ordinary skirmishes that the only goal is to eliminate all opposing players lasting for less than an hour. Missions are supplied by explosives, pyrotechnics, Communication devices like radios, and BB's.

Here are tips for you to get started:

* First you have to decide which Type of Airsoft gun to use. These types are AEG's or Airsoft Electric Guns that are battery operated, Blowbacks - Gas powered, and Bolt action that are spring powered. Go to an Airsoft shop and you'll see lots of Airsoft guns to choose from and the store keeper is the right person to consult.

1.) Spring types: It needs to be cocked, it seems to be a hassle but this is very powerful, it is often seen in sniper rifles.

2.) Gas powered (Blowbacks): are also powerful but it is very costly for you need to buy Gases, and the durability of the Airsoft gun is at stake.

3.) Electric-powered gearbox: (Recommended) For battery operated, I prefer this one better than the others I mentioned because of practicality reasons. First is because of cheap maintenance in which you will no need to buy Green gas or CO2 bottles to power those blowbacks (Gas powers). Second is that it has a fully automatic mode in which spring types cannot do. I recommend examples of Guns for you to search for are the M4 series, AK47 series, Sniper rifles Bar10 or L96, and Steyr Aug. I've recommended this the best Airsoft guns for all purpose situations based on my experience being a Pro Airsoft player. In the usual markets, it is common to have different brands of these Airsoft guns. These are Jing Gong (JG), Tokyo Marui, Desert eagle, D-boys, AGM, A&K, and Cyma. I recommend using JG's because of its affordability or cheapness, fire power, stability, and durability. A usual JG quality lasts for about 100+ battles before you can see a slight damage in its function or externals, unlike other brands that only last for 20+ battles and you can see lots of quality downfalls.

* For ammunition you will use lots of.20g plastic BB's, for this is the standard weight used in competitions.

* When you finally decided for which gun to buy, you need battle gear for protection. As being hit by an Airsoft gun without protection can hurt you badly. The primary protection you need is for your eyes, you'll need goggles. Second is a face mask to cover your face, a pair of gloves, a helmet, battle outfit like camouflage, Tactical vest, Knee pads, elbow pads, and finally a pair of combat boots.

*Now that you're ready to rumble, you need to find a place where Airsoft battles are offered. In here you can join a team, don't forget to be friendly! for here in Airsoft, camaraderie, brotherhood and friendships are being made.

At your first battle it is common to feel nervousness, it's very normal and as you join more battles you will get used to it and finally enjoy it! I hope you find this article interesting and useful regarding the Airsoft hobby. Good luck and enjoy the thrill of the fight.

Airsoft Guns Shopping Guide

It's been said in many circles that paintball guns may have seen their time in the spotlights, and airsoft guns are the wave of the future. Still others think this theory is ridiculous, and lovers of paintball will continue the legacy that paintball has left. But one cannot overlook the impact that airsoft guns have made with gun enthusiasts all over the world.

It all began in Japan, where any type of genuine gun ownership is strictly prohibited. The laws of the country didn't stop the love of the weaponry, it merely created a space of airsoft guns to live and breath in the community. Instead of shooting bullets, BB's or plastic balls filled with paint, airsoft bullets (plastic balls) are used to hit the targets.

Unlike paintball guns, airsoft guns can be exact replicas of even the most covert firearms available. In fact, many militaries are using airsoft rifles, pistols and other firearms for training purposes, due to their authentic look and feel.

Now that you've got the basics down, you need to know what to look for while shopping for airsoft guns and their accompanying accessories.

First of all, just like with any purchase, you'll find the best selection and deals over the Internet. But just like any purchase made online, you need to be sure that the company you're dealing has been around for a while and has a solid reputation. One positive sign is a physical address listed on their website, not just a P.O. box and email contact information.

And while we're on the topic of the World Wide Web, be sure that the company you choose is secure and that the security of your payment and personal information is one of their primary focuses.

Now that we've covered safety, let's cross the path of the guns themselves. Not only should your dealer have a wide variety of airsoft assault and sniper rifles, pistols and support weapons (like M80s), but also ammunition, clothing, baggage, gear, parts, silencers, as well as any other accessory that you could possibly think of. You need to think a bit down the road, too, for even though one particular weapon might suit your fancy now, you might just fall for something a bit bigger down the road. It would be a bummer to build a solid reputation with one dealer now, only to have to switch down the road.

Finally, the last topic I'll brush upon is important to me personally when it comes to my airsoft gun. When I was a newbie, I didn't have the faintest idea how to operate my gun. In fact, I thought it was broken on several occasions. My dealer had (and still has) a troubleshooting section on their website to help those who aren't airsoft-savvy get through the basics and begin enjoying the sport of airsoft.

Airsoft Guns Are Safe If Rules Are Followed

Airsoft is a sport that utilizes life-like guns with orange tips that shoot plastic BB's instead of real ammunition. Sure a sport like this can be dangerous, if you don't follow the proper guidelines and wear the appropriate equipment. What sport isn't?

Airsoft guns can propel BB's at 400+fps (feet per second) and at close range it can sting quite a bit. Formal protection is needed like proper clothing to cover open skin areas such as arms and legs. Helmets and eyewear are a must to protect the critical areas of the head. The eyewear should be certified as impact resistant and not just a pair of shades you buy at the local convenience store (those can shatter and do added damage).

The types of airsoft guns is a huge variety including airsoft shotguns, airsoft pistols, and airsoft rifles. Certain models work better in CGC (Close Quarter Combat) and other airsoft guns are great for distance and accuracy. There is a multitude of choices as with your opponents to make gameplay unique every time. Airsoft pistols, shotguns, and uzi's provide good CGC options while someone else may prefer distance weaponry like a sniper rifle. Some gamers will carry a combination of weapons on them for multiple scenarios.

Following these simple guidelines is just a start in having some of the most adrenaline-rushing fun you can ever have. The excitement and uncertainty of airsoft guns can raise your awareness to a whole other level. It can be exhausting and most rewarding experiences of gameplay ever. Now go out and have some fun.

Airsoft Vs Paintball - The Insiders Guide

If you are thinking about taking up a firearm sport, chances are you are considering airsoft versus paintball. Both sports can be a lot of fun and will get your adrenaline pumping, but there are some critical details that make the two very different experiences.

Paint ball guns (also known as paint ball markers) use expanding gas to propel paintballs at the target. A completely assembled paintball gun consists of a body, barrel, gas system and hopper (i.e. the loading mechanism) and is available in pump action, semi-automatic and fully-automatic. A paint ball gun feels and maneuvers like, well, a paint ball gun. Even blindfolded, no one would ever mistake a paint ball gun for the real thing. Likewise, most paintball games are less concerned with realism and usually take place in an obstacle course type environment. It will get your adrenaline pumping, but it's not really hyper authentic.

Airsoft guns on the other hand, are highly realistic replica firearms that fire small plastic airsoft pellets (6mm or 8mm). These firearms look and operate like the real deal, and for this reason airsoft guns are very popular among the competitive firearm gaming and military simulation set. In fact, airsoft guns are so realistic in design, weight and maneuverability, that they are also used for professional police and military training. Likewise, an accomplished airsoft player who has perfected their shot through diligent target practice, will also be able to carry that skill over to real firearms. Conversely, paintball guns are so different from the real thing that an accomplished paintballer will have to learn a completely different set of skills to become an accomplished marksman. It is this authenticity is what gives airsoft its edge and separates it from the paintball community. There are a wide variety of airsoft guns styles available, from pistols to shotguns, sniper rifles and even high power airsoft electric guns (AEG's) that shoot between 300 and 450 FPS (feet per second). You would select your firearm based on the type of airsoft skrimage you planned to participate in.

How Much Will It Cost?

Obviously it will depend on the specific gun you select, but in general, airsoft guns are less expensive than paintball markers. Very high end paintball guns can set you back as much as three grand, but you can get a good quality starter gun for around $300. Thanks to its growing popularity, airsoft manufacturers have been producing very affordable, high-quality guns in the past few years well below the $200 mark.

But Does it Hurt?

As far as pain is concerned, yes, being hit with either a paintball or an airsoft pellet can be painful. It will depend on a number of circumstantial variables including where you are hit, the distance of the shooter, whether the hit is against clothes or bare skin and the FPS of the firearm. In both sports, you should wear protective eye goggles and I personally recommend a face mask and some sort of wrap to protect your neck, because that's where it can really sting.

Airsoft Guns - Realistic Shooting Fun

A large recreational sports industry has blossomed around Airsoft guns. These guns primarily fire plastic pellets with a circumference of six to eight millimeters. Pellets discharge at a rate of ninety to six hundred feet per second. The guns themselves can have all the characteristics of a toy gun up to being indistinguishable from the real thing. Prices have a similar range. For as little as ten dollars and going up to as much as a few thousand dollars you can partake in this growing hobby. Guns can be used for recreational shooting, target practice, competitions, and even military and police training.

Airsoft guns use a variety of ways to propel the pellets. One way is through spring action. The spring is cocked before each firing. Because of this the gun is limited to a single shot. The upside to the spring version is there is no reliance on gas or electricity which makes it simpler to use and able to function in more extreme conditions. And because there are no batteries or gas propellants they are also more affordable. Spring guns are a great entry level option.

The gas powered guns can be semi-automatic or fully automatic. Powered by a number of different gases, propane, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen among them, gas guns can have the advantage of being more compact and lighter than their electric counterparts. The gas guns can be adversely affected by weather and temperature so care must be taken in properly operating and maintaining the weapon. There are hundreds of variations available in this category. They do have significant firepower in a small package and for that reason are highly desirable.

The automatic electric guns (AEG) are generally more expensive than spring and gas guns but in most cases deliver a superior level of performance. Powered by various types of batteries, battery operated guns run the gamut from pistols to rapid fire machine guns.

Beyond the way the guns are powered is the wide array of gun types available. Single shot pistols in every configuration are produced with a range of quality that includes everything from a pistol that resembles an inexpensive toy to a full blown exact replica of a state of the art military weapon. Pistols can be made of plastic or metal or a combination of both. They can be duplicates of revolvers or automatics with capabilities of firing up to one hundred rounds per second. Obviously, the greater the capabilities the greater the cost and complexity of the gun so make sure you are purchasing a piece that will fit your particular situation. Air guns also come in the form of shotguns with real pump action. There are air guns that are replicas of hunting rifles as well. One of the largest categories of air guns mimics the looks of military weaponry. Within this genre you can find gun replicas of sniper rifles as well as replicas of fully automatic rifles direct from the battlefields of today. There are also copies of bygone eras recapturing the flavor of the old west that people also enjoy.

Airsoft guns have such a large following that there are even collectors for them just like there are for real firearms. The level of craftsmanship and detail in the creation of these collectable air guns is remarkable with a high level of reality built in. Like any other collectable, or hobby, accessories for the enthusiast and collector alike abound. Scopes, magazines, cases and custom stocks to name a few can be purchased to improve performance or to customize your gun.

Airsoft Guns - How Do I Pick the Right One?

When it comes to the sport of airsoft, there are a few different types, or "classes" of guns available. What you need will depend greatly on what your role will be. For instance, do you want to be a sniper? Or will you be doing mostly QCB (close quarters battles)? Or do you want the best of BOTH worlds? Yes, there is a specific type of gun for ALL of these scenarious!

Another important thing to consider is the price factor. So before I even get started with this guide, I would like to say a little bit about the price of the airsoft gun(s) that you will be using, and what you can expect to get, based on the price that you pay.

Basically you can go cheap, and buy one of the many Chinese made airsoft guns. For the most part these will be made out of mostly ABS plastic, but they will pretty much perform IDENTICAL to the more expensive, "full metal" airsoft guns out there. The main difference will be that their durability is a bit less than the full metal guns. However, unless you do something fairly stupid (like dropping the gun from the roof of a building), then you are most likely not going to have to worry about breaking the gun.

For those of you that want to spend a bit more, you can obviously get a full metal airsoft rifle, but you will also be paying at least $50 more you would pay for an Abs plastic airsoft gun. As far as the components inside of the gun, they will be the same quality as what is inside of the plastic guns (assuming that they are true AEG airsoft guns). However, if you want to spend about $300 or more, you can get an airsoft gun that is made in Taiwan, rather than China. While these types of guns will still perform the same (velocity & accuracy wise), they actually use much higher quality internal components, which pretty much means they will out last the cheaper guns.

Ok, now that we have talked about price and quality, we can talk about specific types of airsoft guns. So with that said, if you want to be a sniper (which almost everyone does), then you will need a powerful "spring" operated airsoft sniper rifle. These guns are great because they shoot the furthest and have the most power. Also, they require no addition power source in order to fire; you simply cock them back for each shot.

For those of you that want to do close quarters battles, you will want the fully automatic electric "AEG" airsoft guns. These guns are better suited for close encounters than the airsoft sniper rifles, mainly because they are smaller, lighter, have a shorter barrel, and can be fired in fully automatic mode.

Lastly, another option is to buy a pistol. However, they are ONLY good for close quarters battles. With an AEG airsoft gun you can still get away with shooting at long distances, but with a pistol, you may as well forget shooting at anyone that is further than about 75 feet away.

And for those of you that want the best of both worlds, they make a popular airsoft gun modeled after the M14, which is basically a hybrid of an airsoft sniper rifle and an electric AEG gun. This puppy can be fired in both semi and full auto modes, can mount a scope, and is extremely accurate as well. This particular type of gun is well suited for close encounters AND distance shooting!

Airsoft Parts - A Need for Every Airsoft Enthusiast

In every airsoft game, there is a need for a powerful weapon. It may not be the only element in winning a game. Wit and agility may help but using a weapon that is outclassed in a game can be suicide. For this reason, airsoft parts are very important to all the enthusiasts of this game. Not only can airsoft parts improve the performance of their weapons, they can also change the appearance of their weapons. Airsoft is not just about wars and exchage of ammos, it is also an alert that involves the maintenance and customization of one's firearm.

Choosing the Right Parts

In order to answer this need, many manufacturers have put several types of airsoft parts in the market. Internal parts consist of air nozzles, bushings, cylinder heads, gears, hop up parts, inner barrels, mech boxes, motors, pistons, piston heads, selector plates, shims, spring guides, springs, tappet plates ane wiring. These are usually used for upgrading AEG airsoft guns. There are also external parts like butt plates, hand guards, folding stocks, grips and body kits that can improve the appearance of airsoft guns. There are also upgrade parts for sniper rifles and upgrade kits for beginners who will upgrading their weapons for the first time. Accessing them is quite easy. Choosing the right parts for a weapon can be a bit tricky. There are some parts that are not compatible with some weapons. Also, there are some airsoft parts that are not legal in some states. These are the things that one needs to get consider when picking some airsoft parts.

Airsoft Must-Haves

Before going for upgrades and dressing up one's firearm, certain items should be bought first. These are things that are necessary for one's safety during a game. A tactical vest can serve as an extra layer that can protect a player's body from hits. At 300 to 600 fps, the round pellets can cause some severe wounds. Having a face mask is also a must. It has the same purpose as that of a vest. It will act like a second skin that will protect your face from wounds and scarring. Of course, getting a pair of goggles is of utmost importance. These will protect a player's eyes from getting hit by BB's during a game.

Every player must also make sure that his gear is complete. Some games do last more than an afternoon and making sure that one's supplies will last during the battle can determine the result of the game. One must always have extra magazines, pellets and batteries. In buying batteries, one must always remember that the more mAh a battery has the more rounds it can shoot with a single charge. Bringing a charger along can also be useful. Finding a good charger that can input a precise charge into a battery and automatically discharge any left over charge will make it last longer. For long battles under the hot sun, having a canteen or a special hydration gear can be a great idea.

Airsoft Gun Pellets

Airsoft gun pellets come in different shapes, sizes and weights. Most airsoft pellets, also known as BBs (ball bearing) are normally 6mm spherical plastics. There are starch based biodegradable, metal coated, graphite coated, and steel pellets. Airsoft pellets typically weigh from 0.12 to 0.43 g.

6mm pellets, 0.12 g are used by gas and spring weapons but not for high-end AEGs. The same goes for 0.15 g. 0.20 g standard weights and used by AEGs. 0.23 g is heavy weight for AEGs and 0.25 g is the heaviest weight for standard AEGs, blowback and spring guns. 0.30 g is the standard and 0.36 g are heavier pellets for sniper rifles. 0.43 g is for highest levels of upgrades sniper rifles. As for 8mm pellets, 0.34 g is low weight, 0.45 g is standard weight and 0.60 g is the heaviest weight for 8mm sniper rifles.

For automatic electric guns (AEGs), the velocity limits range between 300-400 FPS (feet per second). For single shot guns, it is 400 to 500 FPS. The tension of the main spring determines the pellet velocity of automatic electric guns (AEGs), so there tends to be a stratification of values. Low-end spring pistols can shoot 0.2 g BBs at velocities from 100 FPS. The range for high-end airsoft guns can reach 550 FPS. Anything beyond this would need a major upgrade of internal components. This internal modification can also increase the ROF (rate of fire) drastically.

Airsoft pellets may not damage the skin but are extremely dangerous to the eyes, so goggles or other protective gear must be worn at all times while playing airsoft sports.

A scope or sight makes playing airsoft even more fun in a number of ways. If you don't have one you should get one!

While not as essential as say for air rifle shooting where you often need to hit a 5p size target at 30 metres an airsoft scope can help in other ways

Telescopic scopes improve longer distance aimed shot accuracy - Very handy for sniping.
Brilliant for spotting enemy in cover (ambushes!) and - or at ranges way beyond rifle range.
Red dot and laser sights improve hit rates in fast reflex CQB and mad skirmishes.
And of course they make any airsoft rifle look very cool and are loads of fun to use (which has got to count for quite a bit I reckon)

There are 3 types to consider -

1 - Telescopic scopes As the name suggests you get magnified vision. These are ideal for snipers and general rifle combat.

Come in a wide range of sizes, for example -

3-9x40 is the most popular general purpose type but what does that mean?

3-9 - Means the magnification. In this example can be dialed between 3 and 9x (and all the numbers in between)
Very handy for multiple situations and ranges.
40 = lens size in millimeters. 40mm is a very good size. Good light capture and a wide field of view but not overly bulky.
By contrast a 4x32 would mean 4 x magnification only through a 32mm lens.

Cross hairs - There are many different types but for airsoft use you don't need to worry about this to much except as a fashion thing!

The 30-30 type is pretty standard and is fine (similar to a traditional plain X hair)
You'll see others with Mil Dot which is the military standard cross hair.
Just the job you may think but they are more expensive and the mil dot stuff is basically a range finding and distance estimation aid that's of little use until distances over a couple of hundred meters are reached. A nice to have but you don't need it.

Types 2 and 3 Red dot and Laser sights
These are not magnified - what you see is the real size as it is.
Perfect for FIBUA, CQB and close quarter stuff where you need reflex from the hip or fast semi aimed eye to sight shots (a la SWAT style)
Great for pistols as well.

2 - Red dot sight
Projects a red (or green) dot onto the inside of the lens.
Only you can see this dot - hopefully on your target.
You fire and you hit.
Very handy for reflex combat and pistols.
The bigger the lens the better. 20mm is common and OK. 40mm more pricey but much better. (Tasco do some great ones)

3 - Laser sights
Similar principle to the red dot except the dot is "visibly visible"" on the target - anyone can see it.
Brilliant for scaring the hell out of the enemy, but it can give you away too so use with care!
Best in low light, but any decent laser will still give you visible dot even in standard daylight, though effective range will be much less.
Various types, some can go on top of a telescopic sight.
Others can be mounted slung under the barrel or pistol grip.

Makes include, the SMK LS1, LS2 and LS3 models, Hawke Tactical, Beamshot and Cybergun Universal. All are excellent with SMK being at the budget end (I sell loads of them on ebay)

Mounts and base rails - VERY IMPORTANT! An important area and one that causes a lot of confusion on ebay! - To fit a scope or sight to a rifle of pistol there must be somewhere to clamp it onto. Makes sense yes? (not to some people it doesn't!)

Look for dovetail type grooves running along the top of the rifle body - This is the scope or sight rail or base.

To this rail or base you attach the scope or sight by way of scope mounts

But just to make it extra fun there are different type of mounts as rails - bases differ in width!

But OK, assuming you have a base rail of some sort. Next - Measure the distance between the grooves of the base.

If it's no more than 13mm wide (3/8 inch) then you need what are called standard mounts
If it's 20mm wide (5/8 inch) then you have what is called a Weaver base and need weaver mounts (inventors name)

Most airsoft models need weavers. Examples that spring to mind are the TM M4, SR16, SG550-51-52 series, MP5.
Some sniper types have Standard.
It's not a problem if you measure up first and check that the sight or scope you are getting has the right type
Take extra care with models that have fitted mounts. These cannot be changed so if you get the wrong type they'll have to be sent back and swapped for a totally different model.
If in doubt read the product description carefully or email the seller to ask for clarification and include your gun make, model and link to website so the seller can check it out fast.

Nickwake (my) ebay shop fast guide to airsoft suitable scopes and sights

Telescopics -

4x20 - Only come with fitted Standard mounts. Do not buy or bid for if you have a weaver base.
4x32, 3-9x32, 4x40, 3-9x40, 4-12x42 and 8x56

All come without mounts so you choose mount type.
All models can all have the SMK LS2 scope mounted laser sights added to give you telescopic AND relex shooting.

Red dots -
Type 1 - "Open eye" with fitted standard mounts
Type 2 - Tasco BKR - with fitted weaver mounts (a very cool sight this one)

Lasers -
Type 1 - LS2 Scope mounted. A long term best seller. Available on own or as part of a combo set or add on if you win an auction.
Type 2 - Cybergun Laser and Torch - with various adaptors, can be barrel slung. Also come with a tactical torch. Very cool kit.

So, want to get one? I hope you know what you need to know now and to see you online soon! Or, for more scope guide stuff see my website zero rifle scopes
