Airsoft Vs Paintball - Which is Better?


There are pros and cons to both airsoft and paintball. I will list them out and let you decide which is better.

Let's start with airsoft:

Pros


Cheaper to play

Cleaner

Less painful

More play options


Cons


Judged on the honesty system

BBs are not all biodegradable

Not as popular

Now the pros and cons of paintball.

Pros


The paint shows were the person was hit

More popular

Many accessories and upgrades available

More realistic


Cons


Expensive

Painful

Messy

Airsoft is generally cheaper to play than paintball because the ammo is much cheaper than paintballs. Quality paintball guns can cost hundreds more than airsoft guns, but they are about the same price for low to mid level guns. There is more safety gear required for paintball.

Paintball is a messy game. Paint ends up everywhere. It should wash out of clothing and wash away when it rains, but depending on the surface it may not wash out. The only mess airsoft makes is the ammo its self. There are biodegradable BBs that will dissolve in about 4 months, but many people choose the less expensive plastic BBs.

Paintball is much more popular than airsoft. There are teams virtually everywhere and many tournaments all over the country. Airsoft has teams and tournaments as well, but it is not as big as paintball. One of the reasons for that is that when you get hit with a paintball, everyone knows because they can see it. When you get hit with an airsoft BB, you are probably the only person that knows because there is no mark. The person firing may not even know with certainty that they hit you. Because of this, there is more cheating involved with airsoft than with paintball.

Both sides have many different scenarios like capture the flag, war reenactments, attacking a village, etc. Those who have played both airsoft and paintball prefer scenario paintball over scenario airsoft because of the proof of hit and many players like the pain from a paintball gun more than airsoft. That sounds masochistic, but it makes the game more life like. If you know it is going to hurt and you will probably have a welt, you will most likely play better and be more careful. With airsoft it can still hurt, but not as bad as a paintball.

As far as which is better, it all depends on what experience you want to have. If you want to keep it clean and not spend a lot of money, then airsoft is better. If you want the play to be more real and you have the money to spend, then paintball might be what you are looking for. Either way, they are both a whole lot of fun and if you have not tried either of them yet I highly recommend you do. The best way to decide which is better is to do them both.

2 Things Which Players of Airsoft Games Should Avoid to Do With Their AEG


Airsoft is a leisure sport which is being enjoyed by a lot of hobbyists around the world, particularly the United States. Airsoft games are primarily a team sport with the objective of eliminating all the personnel of the opposing team. Before the start of airsoft games, the participants are divided into teams who will now assume a role playing position in a war simulation activity. The gear that are used in the game, particularly the weapons, closely resembles the real thing and might even be mistaken for an authentic gun by anyone who sees it. This is why there are certain rules that an airsoft player must strictly adhere to in order to avoid any untoward incidents from happening.

The weapons used in airsoft games are generally known as an Automatic Electric Gun, or AEG. There are several models of AEG, which corresponds to actual gun models such as the Heckler and Koch MP5, G36, MP210 Sub Machine Guns, Kalashnikov AK47, Mauser Pro Tactical Sniper Rifles, Steyr AUG, Black Eagle M6 Sniper Rifle, Stinger R34, Pulse R76, CQB Special Ops Shotgun, Sig Sauer 552, M4 Carbine, M15A4 rifles, and many other authentic firearm models. These AEG replicas closely resemble their genuine counterparts in terms of appearance, weight, handling, operations, and functions. The only difference is perhaps the fact that authentic firearms fire deadly bullets while these replicas fire biodegradable gun pellets at an average velocity of seven hundred feet per second.

Yet despite the fact that they are only replicas, they are often mistaken for actual guns and because of this, AEG owners are often reminded to follow the rules on what to avoid when they are in possession of these devices.

Perhaps the most important thing that game organizers and participants must avoid is carrying out the game in areas where there will be a chance that non-participating bystanders might get hurt. Airsoft games must be operated only in secured and properly designated environment where it is free of bystanders, observers, or any untrained passersby who might mistake your AEG for a real firearm and will most likely call 911 to report what they may thought as an actual firefight.

As a responsible AEG owner, you must also avoid any urge to exhibit or discharge your gun replica in public places like streets, parking lots, schools, sports fields, parks, stores, or any similar place where it could be mistaken for a real firearm. Doing so may result in your possible arrest, bodily injury, or worse, it can even cause an incident which may lead to your death. It might also add to the already tight restrictions surrounding airsoft games.

Avoiding these things will surely ensure your safety, as well as the security of the people around you. With these precautions always in every participant's minds, airsoft games will continue to flourish.

Which Airsoft Gun is Right For Me?


First of all, you need to know what you are looking to accomplish - are you looking to get into combat games such as skirmishing, military simulation or honor system? Are you interested in target shooting, fine-tuning your hand-eye coordination?

For combat-type games, automatic electric guns (AEGs) or gas guns would be your best choice as they are able to fire repeatedly, not having to re-cock the gun each time it is being fired. Gas guns are great though they are more costly than the AEGs. They also require a bit more maintenance and care.

If you are interested in target shooting, spring pistols and rifles are great choices and are quite affordable. There is a very wide selection of these on the market today.

The three main types of guns available are Electric, Gas and Spring.

ELECTRIC GUNS:

The most popular of the Airsoft guns are the electric models. Electric powered mechanisms are encased in the gun with a high capacity magazine. They are comprised of a battery powered motor, transmission gearing, and circuit board onto the air piston assembly. The motor and gears perform the cocking action and release of the piston when the trigger is pulled, all in just a fraction of a second, providing an almost instantaneous firing response. A constant pull on the trigger will allow for continuous firing until the trigger is released.

Electric Rifles -

LPEGs (low powered electric guns): These are full sized versions of electric Airsoft rifles though have less power because of their plastic gearbox. Generally, you would be need batteries, a charger and would use .12 g 6mm BBs. These are an excellent choice for those just starting out in this sport.

MPEGs (middle level electric guns): These are also full sized versions of electric Airsoft rifles, a step above the LPEGs in that they have metal gearboxes. You would be need batteries, a charger and would use .2 g or heavier 6mm BBs.

AEG's (automatic electric guns): These would be the choice of the more seasoned, serious hobbyist. Normally consisting of a full metal body and metal gearbox, these guns use a battery-operated motor providing a fully automatic machine gun, if desired. Again, you would use .2 g or heavier 6mm BBs.

Many manufacturers sell the guns in packages, which include the batteries and chargers as well as some other accessories.

Electric Pistols -

Many people prefer electric pistols to the other types of airsoft pistols. They offer power, versatility and accuracy to give players the edge when it really counts! They come in a variety of styles, many of which are quite realistic looking. There are a wide variety of electric pistols, each of which has something different to offer.

GAS RIFLES AND PISTOLS:

The most effective in performance are the gas guns. These guns come in Non-Blowback and Blowback categories. Blowback guns are more realistic, more powerful and also have more weight to them. On the other hand, the non-blowback guns tend to breakdown less simply because they have less moving parts. They are less realistic looking but more efficient in their use of the gas.

The gas guns use C02 or green gas, either injected into a reservoir chamber in the gun or magazine or it is attached to an exterior unit containing the gas canister and an expansion tank. When the trigger is pulled, the gas is released through a valve at the top the reservoir or the expansion tank. The gas expands instantly and is channeled through a nozzle directed at the BB. The pressure then launches the BB out toward the target. These guns are usually semi-automatic but some have fully automatic features. These guns can suffer in performance drops in cold weather unless you are using a more powerful gas.

SPRING RIFLES AND PISTOLS:

These guns are made to resemble some of the worlds most famous guns such as automatics, competition guns, submachine pistols, carbines, and sniper rifles. They are generally a 1:1 scale and some are true to weight. These are great guns for the collector as well as for recreational use. These are a common choice for the beginner as they are very simple to operate, are very durable, virtually maintenance-free and have a very low rate of failure.

They fire only in single shots and can vary a great deal in performance. Most spring pistols are inexpensive and are great to have around because they can be loaded and shot without having to use gas or charge a battery.

The operation of a spring gun is simple. You just pull back the slide for each shot! A piston head in a cylinder moves backwards to draw air into the cylinder and compresses the spring behind the piston. Then, a hook engages the piston, holding it in place with the spring fully compressed. When you pull the trigger, the hook releases the piston, the air pressure generated inside the cylinder by the compressed spring creates a jet of air that propels the BB. The size and materials used varies depending upon the guns configuration.

Airsoft shotguns operate differently than real shotguns. Most of them fire only one BB at a time.

FPS (Feet Per Second), Velocity or Muzzle Velocity is what tells you at what speed the pellets leave the barrel. The higher the FPS, the faster and further the pellet will go. This is what most players look at first on a gun but it is not the most important factor. A higher FPS causes more strain on a gun, causing it to break sooner if the other parts of the gun are not built and put together well. It will not necessarily give more range if the gun has accuracy problems, as those problems will only increase with higher FPS. It increases the amount of force that the target takes when hit.

ROF (Rate of Fire) is the amount of rounds can be fired from the gun in a certain amount of time. Automatic guns have the highest rate of fire. This puts more rounds on the target making your chance of a hit higher, however, you will be using more ammunition.

Hop-Up is the "spin" of the pellet, which is common in many sports. When the BB is shot, there is a friction put on the topside of the pellet, resulting in a backspin. The backspin lifts the BB upwards, offsetting the affects of gravity and air friction allowing the BB to travel greater distances.

Which is the Best Airsoft Gun For You?


Airsoft is a sport that has gained a lot of popularity in recent times. It is safe, fun and unlike its counterpart paintball, is non-messy. As a result, the sport now has a huge adult fan following. If you have also been bitten by the Airsoft bug and are planning to buy or upgrade your airsoft gun, then the huge variety available in the market and online may confuse you no end. And if you select the wrong kind of airsoft gun, then you will regret your decision for a long time to come.

Good airsoft guns should be treated as investments in the sport and in your airsoft skill, and some thought and research definitely needs to go in there if you want to enjoy airsoft to the hilt. We discuss below the main types of airsoft guns to give you a better idea of what the best gun will be for you.

Airsoft Machine Guns

Almost all airsoft machine guns are powered by an electric motor which makes their operation fully automatic or at least semi automatic. Coming in light yet realistic looking versions of real machine guns models, these plastic and metal airsoft guns are perfect for those who want to go on and on when they get down on the battle field. Battery powered airsoft machine guns come with a rechargeable battery that works the internal gears of the machine to cock a powerful spring. Every time the trigger is pressed, the spring propels airsoft BBs with power and precision.

The advantage of airsoft machine guns is that they are very fast and powerful, and unlike spring loaded guns, do not need to be cocked for every shot. The downside is that you may have to carry spare batteries whenever you plan on playing for a long time.

Airsoft Sniper Rifles

Airsoft sniper rifles are single shot spring propelled guns. Just like real rifles, these guns have to be cocked for every single shot. While spring airsoft guns come in all price ranges and are a good bet for beginners, you may invest in a high end airsoft sniper rifle if performance and aim are what you are looking for. High end airsoft snipers perform as well as real ones when it comes to hitting the bull's eye and are perfect for those who are into precision shooting and target competitions.

The only disadvantage of these guns is that they are not battery powered and need to be cocked for every shot, which makes them second best when you are playing a war game. However, using airsoft grenades can give you extra power on the battlefield when you are using spring loaded mechanisms.

Airsoft Pistols

Even though CO2 airsoft guns are available in all formats, they are most popular as airsoft pistols. Powered by green gas or CO2 in the gas chamber, gas airsoft guns are extremely powerful and as close to the real thing as you can imagine. With a blowback mechanism, CO2 airsoft guns give users a real gun like feel every time they fire a shot. However, these airsoft guns are usually the costliest in the market and are advised only for enthusiasts and collectors.

Which Airsoft BBs Are Right For You?


When an Airsoft fan comes to researching, they mainly tend to research the next exciting gun they can add to their collection. They will think about what model of gun they want, what FPS it can achieve, and what mechanism it uses to propel the BBs, either gas or electric. They may even research protective gear so when they get shot in their games, it won't hurt as much, but it is perhaps more rare that they will research what BBs are best for their activities and indeed the model and power of gun they are using.

Manufacturer matters

One of the biggest factors to take into consideration when purchasing a BB for your Airsoft Firearm is who manufactured them. Top quality manufacturers will create BBs that are solid and seamless. They will be highly polished and slide smoothly around the inside of the gun. Another sign of a quality manufacturer is the ability to achieve the same weight and exact size consistently throughout an entire line of BBs. This will greatly improve not only your gun's power and shooting accuracy; it will also greatly increase the lifespan of your Airsoft BB gun. They hard polished and seamless surface will jam less and do no damage to the inside of your gun. Some of the top names to look out for when researching manufacturers are KSC BBs, SRC BBs and TSD Tactical BBs. Usually when you purchase a gun, they come with a packet of BBs. These are usually very low quality BBs and you are advised to discard these so as to avoid damage to your gun.

Lending weight to your decision

Another mass(ively) important factor when choosing your is the weight of the BB itself. BBs usually are a standard size of 6mm. This allows some uniformity along the range. However they can differ greatly in the weight department, with the heaviest being roughly 3 times heavier than the lightest. The last thing you want to do however is use the lightest BBs (0.12g) in a metal gear guns. They will just get chewed up, and cause damage to the inside of the gun. They will also be very inaccurate if shooting at anything further than 2 metres away. These BBs are designed for cheap and very weak Airsoft BB guns. The genera rule of BBs is that if your gun fires at up to 300 FPS (foot per second) you can use up to 0.2g BBs. This is a midrange BB and should be used for professional guns that fire at between 200 and 300 FPS. Anything over 300 FPS, you have a lot more options open. As a rule of thumb, the heavier the BB, the more accurate at long range. This is because the BB is less affected by air resistance. For very powerful guns, such as an Airsoft Sniper Rifle that can fire up to 500FPS, you can use something up to 0.36g BBs. For mid-ranged guns, for outdoor use, you are looking at 0.23 - 0.25g. For indoors close quarters combat, you are looking at a standard 0.2g BB. However this has a cost attached to it, the heavier the BB, the more it costs to product, and therefore buy. Even the delivery costs increase due to the heavier weight of the package. This is of course not just the case for BB guns; this also applies to other recreational gun ammunition such as air gun pellets as well.




I have a few sites that I like to write articles for and promote, I hope you enjoy my work, I try to be funny and informative.

Which Is a Better Airsoft Gun - Spring Or Electric?


The plain and simple answer to the spring or electric airsoft dilemma is: It Depends. It depends on many factors which you should consider when you are trying to select between the two main types of airsoft guns.

So which one is better airsoft gun?

First you have to decide for yourself what kind of gameplay do you like. Do you like to be in the center of the action, shooting hundreds of BBs all around the battle field? Or you like to be far far away at a safe place taking out your opponents one by one and see their surprised faces once they get hit from nowhere!

The automatic guns are most of the times electric. Thus if you like to be in the heart of the action you have to choose electric airsoft gun. It will deliver big shooting speed so you can eliminate many of your close-by opponents in no time. Some of the better airsoft gun products with battery can also shoot at long range distances and be somewhere accurate.

The downside of electric airsoft guns are a few but very important. They tend to empty their ammo clips very fast. This can leave you at that unpleasant spot when you are out of BBs and your opponents are all over you. Their long distance accuracy is not very good. AEGs are mainly made for close combat. One of the worst accidents you might experience is if you forget to charge your battery or it just runs out. Then your electric gun is only usable for a direct hit of your enemies, which in airsoft terms is way out of the allowed techniques. Electric airsoft guns also tend to get stuck more than the sniper airsoft rifles.

If you are a fan of long range accurate shots like me, then you have to choose spring powered airsoft weapon. There is no better amusement than seeing an enemy's surprised face when he gets "killed" while hiding or just regrouping. In every airsoft team there should be at least one sniper hitman to clear the way for a rush attack.

Of course this type of airsoft equipment have their cons. The main one is the slow rate of reloading. You will have to reload for each and every shot. This means manually cocking the spring. This takes time and is not useful for close combats at all. This is one of the main reasons I only recommend spring powered airsoft guns for the sniper rifles. As a sniper you can your backup pistol ready for the face to face encounters.

Whenever you decide between spring or electric airsoft gun make sure it is the better airsoft gun for your style of play.




And remember: players who choose airsoft sniper rifles should strongly consider bb gun pistols just in case the enemy pays them a close visit.

Which Airsoft Guns Are the Best?


More and more people are taking up an interest in Airsoft simulations as a hobby. It really can be quite fun. The problem lies at WalMart, where mostly low quality Airsoft guns are sold. Any true Airsoft player will tell you to stay away from these and invest in a quality Airsoft rifle or sub. There are so many out there and where do I start!? Should I get a rifle? a pistol? Is the sniper rifle any good?

These are questions I had when I went shopping online for Airsoft guns. There are so many options, and of course the picture of the item looks intriguing... but does it shoot accurately? Does it shoot far? How long do the batteries last?

Firstly, I think all serious Airsofters should carry a pistol and another gun. The other gun could be a sniper rifle, or a standard rifle or sub machine gun. The preference here should lie to two places. You should consider the weight of the gun, and you should consider the length of the barrel, which will ultimately determine the accuracy of the gun.

Sniper rifles are obviously very accurate, however they can be somewhat heavy and bulky to carry around, because of situations like this, you need to decide what role you want to play on the field. Do you want to pick off foes from a distance, or provide cover fire for your teammates? Do you want to be the one that guards a particular objective? Deciding on one of these roles can help to determine if you need a rifle or even a shotgun (yea they are good!). I recommend the G3 Airsoft rifle or the M4 Airsoft rifle, both of these are medium sized weapons that have a great balance of weight and accuracy.

DO NOT FORGET: You need to protect your eyes! ALWAYS wear eye and ear protection when participating in an Airsoft simulation. Airsoft is great fun, but not worth losing an eye over.

Which Airsoft BB Weight Do I Need?


One of the most overlooked parts of airsoft is choosing the correct BB weight. The tragedy of new airsoft players is when they spend hours picking out that shiny $300 AEG, only to load it with cheap .12g BBs and break the gun! Oh, and not to mention, you probably voided your warranty as well!

Although there are various weights for BBs, the four most common types you will see are .12g, .2g, .25g, and .3g. A few things you should note: the lighter the BB, the higher your velocity or FPS. The heavier the BB, the more accurate and less affected it is by wind resistance. This means your BB will actually travel further than a lighter BB, even though the lighter BB will have a higher velocity. The general rule is to shoot the heaviest BB your gun works with.

.12g BBs:

These BBs work well in spring guns or low powered electric guns. NEVER use these bullets in high quality electric guns, as they may jam and destroy the internals! Many manufacturers will consider your gun void if you shoot .12g BBs! One problem with the .12g BBs is that many horrible generic brands are offered at big box stores, and probably shouldn't ever be used! Make sure they are seamless and precision ground BBs.

.2g BBs:

This is the most common and acceptable weight for airsoft guns. They can be used for almost any gun except very cheap pistols and low powered electric guns. However, they are not suggested for higher end sniper rifles. If you are new to the game, or just aren't sure which weight to get, this is the one for you!

.25g BBs:

These are heavier grade BBs and should generally not be used in spring guns unless they are sniper rifles. This is often the choice of more experienced airsoft players, as they provide the best accuracy and travel the furthest.

.3g BBs:

These BBs are primarily meant for sniper rifles. They will provide the highest accuracy and distance, and will also pack quite a punch. It is possible to use these BBs in a high upgraded AEG, but otherwise you will be disappointed due to the low FPS.

The other weights you will find are basically just a mix of what I've written above, so a .23g BB will trade a bit of accuracy for a higher velocity. You will also find ultra-heavy .36-.43g BBs that are meant for highly upgraded sniper rifles.
