Electric Airsoft Pistols
With the rise of the sport airsoft, the desire for electric airsoft pistols is increasing. Many players are looking for the competitive advantage of using an airsoft pistol that will re-cock and load on a semi or fully automatic basis, thereby allowing them to fire multiple rounds while their adversary is attempting to re-cock their manually loaded airsoft pistol.
Mechanics of the Electric Airsoft Pistol
Electric airsoft pistols utilize a mechanical spring, similar to their manually cocked spring loaded airsoft pistol cousins. But the difference between the spring loaded airsoft pistol and electric airsoft pistols is that the electric airsoft pistol's spring is loaded automatically via a battery operated loading device. So depending on the complexity of the model that you choose to buy, you can get a semi-automatic or fully-automatic electric airsoft pistol. Many of these airsoft pistols will be able to fire a plastic airsoft BB, and an airsoft paintball BB of comparable size. See the particular manufacturers' specifications for more details.
Further Advantages of Electric Airsoft Pistols
Another nice benefit to getting an electric airsoft pistol is their ability to fire at higher speeds. For just slightly higher costs than traditional manually cocked airsoft pistols, you can get the advantage of rapid fire along with a greater fps (feet per second) speed, thus increasing your range and accuracy when firing. With the ability to use rechargeable batteries, you will be able to re-use your electricity source, and not have to spend extra money on batteries continuously. However, it is a good idea to take an additional set of batteries with you when you are in the woods running an airsoft game.
Summing Up Electric Airsoft Pistols
In summary, electric airsoft pistols are great mid-price advantage to a manual spring pistol. Electric airsoft pistols give you the ability for semi or fully automatic rapid fire, along with (typically) higher fps specifications. With just a slightly higher cost per unit, the electric airsoft pistol is a good compromise of features to price.
