it depends on the gun. read the box and it should have a recommended size ammo for the gun.
machine guns probably .20s at the least
most pistols work with .12s but are better with .20s
snipers you want .25 or higher
spring rifles and shotguns anything will work but i like to use .20 or .25
No
The bullets used in an Airsoft gun are BB's but an owner should make sure that pay attention.to the quality of BB's that they buy. If they are sure to buy the best BB's the gearbox components will be damaged and cause the owner to spend far more cash over the long haul.
The most common BB type used in airsoft guns is 6mm plastic BBs.
Yes, I believe they do. They use systema airsoft guns, which are the best you can get. The marines used to train with paintball guns several years ago, but they switched to airsoft because airsoft is more realistic.
That's what they were designed for.
Old guns DID have bullets- that is the thing that is shot from the gun. They did not have cartridges, since they used loose gunpowder and bullets, and sparks created by flint on steel to ignite the powder.
Air is used to propel the plastic projectile
Airsoft guns often replicate real guns (such as M16, AK-47, ect,) and shoot little plastic pellets. Airsoft guns are commonly used for the sport of airsoft, which involves a simulation of war where you try to get the other players "out" by shooting them.BB guns are not meant to shoot people. They are single-action where airsoft guns are commonly automatic. They shoot small metal BBs which are generally meant for target practice. They generally have a higher velocity than airsoft guns and are dangerous to shoot at people but are not capable of killing anyone.
Depends on the caliber.
Gun powder or air
Airsoft Gear sells a wide range of tactical gear that is used for sport or recreational game play. The gear very closely resembles regular guns and gear but these products are used for play.
No, airsoft guns are not illegal in the state of Illinois. However, state laws do prohibit air guns being carried in the general public. Most airsoft guns contain at least a 6mm orange tip which indentifies it as being non-lethal. Airsoft guns can be legally used in or on your property. The State of Illinois also prohibits the distribution or shipping of airsoft guns as part of the law.
