The gun itself is obviously the most important tool in airsoft. It can make or break your performance and enjoyment. If you are serious about airsoft then make sure that you get a good gun. Lower priced guns can be fun for a while but most likely they will not last for more than a couple of months and before you know it you will have to buy a new gun if you want to keep playing. Having a quality gun will also make you more competitive. A low quality gun which frequently jams and does not shoot straight is not much fun in the heat of battle. You will spend more time messing with the gun than actually accomplishing your objectives

There are three main categories of airsoft guns: spring, electric, and gas.

Spring guns are often the least expensive, and in some cases the most reliable. A quality spring airsof gun will practically last forever if you don’t abuse it. This is because there are few moving parts within the gun and there is not much which can go wrong. The drawback of spring guns is that they need to be manually cocked before each shot is fired. This makes them good starter guns, but if playing against someone with an automatic AEG then you will have a big disadvantage because they will be able to pump out bbs 100 times faster than you. In serious airsoft battles the only time you really see spring guns used is for sniping. Snipers do not rely on a high rate of fire but instead use tactics, cover, concealment, and marksmanship to take down their prey.

Gas powered gun use either green gas or CO2 as propulsion. In other words, the gas is already pressurized. This makes them easy to use and very realistic. They can fire in semi auto mode, and sometimes even in full auto. The drawback is that once you’re out of gas then the gun is basically useless until you buy more. CO2 is easy to find but Green Gas usually has to purchased online or at a specialty store. There are special adapters which allow propane to be used instead of Green Gas.

The third type of airsoft gun is electric. For rifles this is the most popular type of gun. They are battery powered. The battery turns an electric motor which in turn powers a pistol which compresses air, which is used to propel the BBs. This makes them very powerful because they can shoot in full auto mode for as long as the trigger is pulled back. Many AEGs also come with a high capacity magazine which can hold 300 rounds or more. The batteries are almost always rechargeable so once they are out all you have to do is put them on a charger for a few hours and then you’re ready to play again. In matches and events which last for a day or more an is a good idea to have a spare battery or two to use while the other is charging.

Having adequate knowledge on the different types of airsoft guns is important before you purchase any of them and this is an article to guide you on the differences.

Spring Airsoft Guns: These are basically single shot or spring cocked gadget which resembles the bolt action rifle or the shotgun. In order to use these guns to fire, there is a need for the user to pull back the slide or bolt to cock the spring before each shot is fired. They are not recommended for close combat competitions because of their unsuitability for this type of competitions. However, they are most commonly used for marksman and sniper functions.

Electric Airsoft Guns (AEG): They are also known as AEG which stands for Airsoft Electric Gun. They are considered to be the best type of airsoft guns. Their firing mechanism is powered by a tiny but very powerful motor inside each of the gun. There is also a spring in each of them. However, the spring is under the control of an electronic motor to attain high rates of fully automatic fire. AEGs have an advantage over other types of guns, which is they are capable of being loaded with miniature paintballs. However, you have to be careful with this because in the event of any paintball breaking inside them, their entire firing mechanism can be clogged and you will have to strip the guns down to clean them.

Gas-powered Airsoft Guns: They are capable of automatic fire and they are more convenient to use because there is no need to cock the guns every time you want to fire because the guns have a gas charge built inside each of them. These guns are much more powerful then most of the spring airsoft guns and they can be more expensive as well. The gas used by these guns needs to be refilled using co2 cartridges or a portable hand pump. Gas-powered guns have a more realistic feel then the other types of guns.

In past posts I have discussed strategies for improving your team’s effectiveness as a whole. Since we have all heard the old adage that a team is only as strong as its weakest player, I thought it would be valuable to address ways in which you can improve as an independent player. Strong players do, after all, enhance the team.

Know your weapon and gear. Do some basic training, including some ground work, such as running and crawling. Get familiar with the weight and maneuvering limitations of your gear. Learn what works well with your equipment dimensions.

Improve Your Accuracy. Some people think the quickest way to become a better player is to upgrade your weapon. Upgrades are awesome, don’t get me wrong, but they are not a quick fix for a bad shot. The truth is if you want to improve your form and accuracy, you have to practice. The good news is… practicing is really fun. Here are a few things to keep in mind when working on your accuracy:

Always aim for a small, specific area on the target – not the target as a whole. Keep your eye on that small area rather than glancing around. Grip high on the gun so that your middle finger is high on the trigger guard. A higher grip will give you more control regardless of the weapon. It will improve your aim and ease recoil. Use your fingerprint area to slowly squeeze down on the trigger. This will limit jerking and allow for more control over the gun. Try to make this a fluid movement; this is especially important if you are using a sniper rifle or pistol. The farther away you are, the higher you will have to aim to hit your target. Practice different ranges and learn what works best for you and your weapon(s). Be sure to practice shooting while moving around. Different guns will have a different feel, be they gas, spring or electric airsoft guns. The more you use it, the more instinctual your weapon will be to you.

Know the Terminology. Be sure to research the different war terms that you may encounter on the field. If you are told an enemy fighter is at your 6 o’clock, it’s better to instinctively know what that means than to mentally calculate it on the field. There are a number of airsoft glossaries out there worth reviewing. You don’t need to know every term, but a solid understanding will help you.

Know the strategies. Most wargames are broken up into teams that are either offense-oriented or defense-oriented. Defense-oriented teams tend to be grounded in a specific area, while offense-oriented teams are on active attack, trying to gain ground. A good strategy if you are on the defense is to find a position that provides both cover and access to enemy targets. The more hidden you are, the better. If the enemy cannot figure out where the shots are coming from, you have the chance to do more damage. If you are on the offense, your main two objectives are determining where harmful fire is coming from, and removing the origin of that fire, thus allowing you to gain ground. It is surprisingly difficult to find a tactically hidden defensive player. Offensive players should try to engage the enemy with minimal movement or noise. Surprise is really the best weapon on the field.

Be fit. You will need to be able to run, crawl, and dive… all with heavy gear. The more physically fit you are, the better you will be on the field.

Be safe and have fun. Wear the right protective gear, use good judgment, and the more you play, the better you will be.

Even though you are just buying cheap airsoft guns, you should always hunt for a reliable brand in order to get the best value for your money. Make sure you have done your shopping and read reviews beforehand.

If you are thinking of getting cheap airsoft guns in the electric type, first, you have to determine how much you are willing to spend. Some of the companies which make the best electric airsoft guns are Tokyo Marui (TM), VFC, Classic Army (CA) and ICS.

Airsoft guns made by the above-mentioned companies are usually priced at the range between $200 and $400. There are some with higher price tags, but many of them are sniper rifles. Sniper rifles are not recommended for airsoft newbie. This is because in order to maximize their effectiveness on the field, the guns need to be upgraded. You can get medium level guns with the price listed above.

There are some companies which offer medium end airsoft guns. They are probably not as reliable since they are less durable in terms of their feel and weight. However, the best thing about them is, you can get them by just paying about half the price as some of the companies mentioned above. Some examples of companies offering medium end guns are WELL (Only the “R” Series), Galaxy, CYMA, Jing Gong/ Golden Bow (JG/GB) and also Echo1 which is same as above and the difference is it come with a warranty. Some other brands with decent quality guns would be D-Boyi and UTG although UTG may cost you more than necessary.

The guns made by most of these companies are usually priced from $90 to $175. It is not recommended that you go for guns below this price range because the cheap airsoft guns that you can get below that price range may be cheap but they may come with really bad quality. For instance, they may not be able to shoot properly or they may break easily, with very little warranty.

In the ever-growing sport of Airsoft, no one product has impacted its worldwide popularity more than the incredible automatic electric gun. This particular Airsoft gun, commonly referred to as the AEG, has single handedly lifted the sport to meteoric heights.

Airsoft had its humble beginnings in Asia due to the strict gun laws that severely prohibited the private ownership of firearms in that region of the world. It was in the nation of Japan where it is illegal to own real firearms, that the first Airsoft gun replicas were developed in the early 1980′s. A small Japanese manufacturer of radio controlled car models turned its sights to making replica guns in hopes of finding a market for gun enthusiasts, and the sport of Airsoft was born.

The early Airsoft guns were non-lethal, spring powered replicas that fired 6mm plastic BBs. These early toy guns were made of plastic and simple in design. The spring firing mechanism had to be manually re-loaded or “re-cocked” after each shot causing a meager if un-spectacular slow rate of fire. Without any real design enhancements in the early years of its development, interest in the sport grew at a tepid pace.

The sport slowly gained interest in the surrounding region during the latter part of the 80′s, but attempts to expand the sport to the West were largely unsuccessful. It would be in the early 1990′s that “lighting” would strike, and the sport would encounter its greatest moment of innovation and subsequent breakthrough.

Tokyo Marui, the original Japanese manufacturer that created the early Airsoft spring guns, designed the first fully automatic electric firing system for these replica guns. No longer needing to be manually re-loaded, the innovated on-board electric motor gave the Airsoft gun shooter the ability to fire at will. This automatic rapid-fire feature not only increased the excitement of the game, but also gave the sport its greatest appeal. Automatic electric Airsoft gun owners could now enjoy an exhilarating rate of fire (ROF) ranging anywhere between 600-900 rounds per minute (RPM).

With this exciting new product, Airsoft now offered a universal appeal. The sport caught fire and began to boom. Airsoft spread to different parts of Europe and then to Canada. By the mid-90′s it had officially arrived in the United States.

The most popular of all the Airsoft guns, the most current models have the same realistic look and feel of their real-world counterparts. These guns range from the Desert Eagle pistol model to the “mini” or miniature style AEG’s, all the way up to the stunning Armalite M15A2 full size assault replica rifles. The AEG is by far the most common gun used in team competitions around the world. These preferred weapons of veteran Airsoft warriors and enthusiasts have something to offer every interested player and collector.

Whether you prefer Paintball or Airsoft is entirely a matter of personal choice, although both games have similar attributes, they commonly attract different markets. Paintball is characterized by its fast pace and hard hitting action, whilst Airsoft players welcome team participation, using tactics and strategies.

The guns used in airsoft and paintball are quite different; Airsoft guns and rifles, whether gas, electric or sniper rifles or spring guns, are popular as they are highly realistic replicas of military guns and a relatively cheaper option. The main difference between the types of gun is that paintball guns have a hopper that the paintballs are poured into, whereas airsoft guns use clips. Clips make loading and unloading a straightforward process and the extra clips are light to carry. In paintball a belt or vest is necessary to hold the big cylinders of paintballs.

Start up packages for Airsoft or Paintball are around the same price, however, further costs are incurred when purchasing ammunition and carrying out any maintenance and repairs to the guns. Taken as a whole, Airsoft guns work out less expensive as Airsoft pellets are a lot cheaper to produce than paintballs are and the ammunition used makes the guns less liable to ‘jam.’ The biggest outlay is the purchase of the Airsoft gun, after this initial cost everything extra is relatively cheap.

Airsoft guns have a longer range than paintball guns with most Airsoft guns shooting between 250fps to 600fps, an Airsoft pellet will also travel a lot further than a paintball pellet will.

Ammunition used in games is paintballs and 6mm BBs in airsoft games. Games can be played in woods/forests or in an open area, if the area is wooded the paintballs can have a problem reaching their target as the trees and bushes stop their progress and can even break them. Airsoft pellets are much smaller and the likelihood of them hitting something in the way is less probable.

Airsoft guns are more accurate than paintballs, so games are concluded faster as targets are hit. Players can also easily avoid paintballs, if they see it coming in beforehand it’s quite easy to move out of its way, whereas Airsoft pellets are too small to see when they are traveling at a high speed and would be very difficult to avoid.

Airsoft guns are much easier to maneuver with as they are lightweight and easy to hold, whilst paintball guns tend to be large and unwieldy with external CO2 and N2 or compressed air cylinders. Also, the hopper can occasionally get in the way.

Paintball guns need to be oiled, regularly cleaned and refilled each time you want to play. If you own a gas airsoft gun it will also need refilling each time you play, but electric and spring airsoft guns require no gas at all. Both types of guns will require regular maintenance to ensure they stay in good working condition. Although a simple process, paintball guns will need the barrel cleaned on a regular basis and they do have more parts than airsoft guns proving more costly to fix.

Both Paintball and Airsoft guns each have their individual advantages and disadvantages. How the gun looks, costs, speed and effectiveness will all contribute towards the final decision you make.

Airsoft guns are getting more popular nowadays. Airsoft guns are usually used for recreational purposes or as a hobby. They can be a fun hobby but for the airsoft newbie, you have to determine which type of gun you should invest in. There is a big market out there for airsoft guns and you would be overwhelmed with various choices of them such as the rifles, pistols or snipers.

There are many places where you can shop for airsoft guns. You can either get them at places like WalMart or online shops. However, do you find yourself wondering whether the gun shoots accurately, far or have long-lasting batteries
when you are choosing which type of gun to buy? Most of the time, the pictures of the guns may look attractive, but the real thing may turn out to be the opposite.

When you are choosing to buy airsoft guns, whether a pistol, sub machine gun, standard rifle, sniper rifle, shotgun or others, you should take these things into consideration:
-the weight of the gun
-the length of the barrel

The length of the barrel will be the ultimate determinant of your gun’s accuracy.

You should also determine which role you are playing on the field before purchasing any gun. Are you playing the role of picking off enemies from a distance or you are the one who provides cover fire for the other players on your team? Or maybe you are the one who guards certain objective? The role that you are playing is very crucial in helping you to determine which gun to buy because different roles need different types of guns.

Last but not least, you have to make sure that you have taken all the safety precautions when you are handling airsoft guns. Your eyes are the area where you have to protect it the most because you may hurt your eyes in an airsoft game.

200 Ct. Airsoft 6 Mm Paintball, Hard

There are certain times when using a sniper rifle is particulary advantageous in an airsoft game.  The best time to use a sniper is in long games; that is, ones that last many hours or even days, and feature the use of medics and lots of players at once.  While you can technically use a sniper rifle in nearly any situation, the reason it is best to use it here is because you have a wide area to scope out, and the support offered by a sniper can be critical in certain situations.  

The advantages that come from being a sniper are numerous.  For one, you are essentially out of the range of any enemies, so while you are safe, they are not.  In fact, it is this benefit that is most appealing about being a sniper.  Being able to take people out even when they cannot see you is a satisfying idea, although this can be a drawback for some people who like to be right in the action.  However, with a large group of people, there is always a mix of interests, so you will definitely have some people who prefer to snipe.

Besides not being in the action all the time, there are some other disadvantages to sniping.  For one, if you are constantly looking through your scope in one direction, then you cannot see anybody who is coming from behind you.  Therefore, being a sniper leaves open a wide area for you to be attacked, which is why many snipers have a partner who is their eyes for the area they are not watching.  Getting somebody to agree to partner with you can be difficult sometimes, but if you can, then you are good.  

While some sniper rifles can fire multiple times quickly, many of them can only fire one shot at a time, as they are spring guns.  This means you have to be extremely accurate, and if people are rushing up on you fast, you are basically helpless.  It is critical that you have some kind of sidearm on you, such as an electric pistol or even a full-on airsoft rifle, to prevent you from being taken out in these kinds of situations.
