Airsoft Pistols
Airsoft is a sport that is growing in popularity. In a few years, the sport may even begin to compete with its cousin, paintballing. But airsoft is designed to be a much more tactical sport, and can be used for civilian, anti-terrorist, and military training. But the household favorites for many airsoft enthusiasts are airsoft pistols. The following are the three main types of airsoft pistols:
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft pistols are the simplest breed of airsoft pistol. They use a mechanical spring that must be cocked manually by the user each and every time before fired. These airsoft pistols come in a wide variety from cheap, plastic knock-offs to expense, metal pistols that are almost identical to the real thing. The good news is, they tend to be less expensive than other airsoft pistols, and don’t have the need for extra batteries, or green gas canisters.
Electric Airsoft Pistols
Electric airsoft pistols are similar to spring airsoft pistols in that they utilize a spring to shoot the ammunition. However, they differ in that there is a battery powered mechanism that automatically cocks the spring for the user. This mechanism provides a great advantage over other airsoft players using manual spring pistols.
Gas Airsoft Pistols
Gas airsoft pistols are the highest powered, most realistic airsoft pistols available. These are normally the most expense of the airsoft pistols, but are the most realistic. Gas airsoft pistols use a green gas or CO2 chamber to propel the ammo through air. The most popular of the gas airsoft pistols, the gas blowback pistol (GBB), has a recoiling mechanism to give the life like action of a real pistol ammo discharge after firing. The non-blowback pistols do not have this action, but are usually identical in every other way as the blowback pistol, just at a discounted price.
