A bb gun pretty much works the same way as a spring airsoft gun. But the differences come in the activities of how they are used. A bb gun is used for target practice, but ever since bb guns have been created, people have been using them for fighting, like in a paintball or airsoft fight. Of course this lead to alot of injuries, (Just like in A Christmas Story). Airsoft is a whole lot different. I play it and I know alot about it. First of all airsoft is more intended for battles, like in paintball. Second of all, they shoot plastic bb's instead of metal ones, therefore having less chance of injury. Also most airsoft guns are replicated off real guns like AK-47's, M4's, Desert Eagles, MP5's, and much much more. And if played responsibly it can be a very exciting and fun activity. I started out having just backyard airsoft fights with local neighborhood friends. And now im playing professionaly at battle re-enactments, and batles. Those are the some of the differences between airsoft and bb guns.
i dont think anything. But some people might refer bb gun to a pelet gun
----------------------------------
Airsoft guns fire a 6mm plastic projectile around 200 - 400 feet per second.
Airsoft guns are for gamers who like to play war and shoot each other without serious injury. (It does hurt though.)
BB guns fire a .177 metal BB around 250 - 500 Feet per second.
Pellet guns fire a variety of different size pallets from .177, .20, .22, .25, 9MM, 45 Cal, and 50 Cal. with a speed of 250 to around 1400 feet per second.
BB guns and pellet guns are for target practice and hunting.
You never want to shoot someone with a BB or pellet gun.
Occasionally you will hear someone refer to an airsoft gun as a BB gun. Because the 6mm plastic projectile is also called a BB.
The main difference is that Air Soft guns generally fire plastic rounds, while BB guns fire metal rounds. The other difference is that Air Soft are used in games similar to paintball, while BB guns are not.
Air Soft Guns shoot 6mm plastic BB, usually around 300 Feet per second (FPS,) some faster, some slower. The law requires that all air soft guns and rifles have a RED tip on the barrel to identify them as a toy. They sting you when they hit you. BB Guns shoot smaller .177 (4.5) steel BB's starting at 300 FPS up to 1,000 FPS in the more powerful rifles. These guns do not have to have a RED tip on the barrel because they are not toys and can be deadly. BB guns are part of the family of "Pellet Guns" that shoot pellets or BB's but are also driven by compressed air just like the BB guns. BB and Pellet guns can do serious damage to a person if they hit you.
A BB gun typically fires a metalic .177 caliber ball- with enough energy to pierce skin, kill birds, etc. Airsoft was diesigned to be RELATIVELY non-injurious, usually fires a larger PLASTIC projectile at slower speeds.
a airsoft gun shoots plastic bb's that don't move fast enough to break through the skin a bb gun has metal bb's that are able to move fast enough to break the skin
Airsoft is made to shoot a larger, soft plastic BB with less energy, and is intended to reduce the chance of injury. BB guns fire smaller steel projectiles, faster, with more energy.
