What type of airsoft gun should you get?

Answer 1

The Difference.Spring airsoft guns use springs and compressed air, and are a lot less powerful than gas airsoft. Gas airsoft guns use propane, (also found in grills), mixed with a little silicon. When you press the trigger, the slide (the thing that you cock) goes back, and then comes forward, firing the BB. Electric airsoft uses gears and stuff, very complicated and more prone to break (unless you get the $200 - $300 ones). For fast, cheap fun choose the spring, single shot, guns. If you want to compete and/or get serious, choose from the high-end electric powered and the Gas powered.

Gas Airsoft guns can also use CO2 canisters. Many people prefer the spring-loaded BB rifles for sniping because of their accuracy: they are simpler to use and more accurate in firing, but suffer one serious drawback.

The cannot be used in semi-automatic or automatic mode as gas and electric guns can be because the spring has to be re-tensioned after each shot . I.e. the gun has to be cocked just like a shotgun. You can never have a spring Airsoft machine gun, but spring BB guns are less expensive than other form sof power and good for beginners.

Many electric guns are also spring-loaded - the spring being re-tensioned electrically, and hence OK for automatic mode. Most prefer gas or electric for gaming - I prefer an electric semi/automatic Airsoft gun for gaming because spare batteries are less bulky in the field than spare gas canisters!

Answer 3

It is a matter of opinion. With the Co2 gas air soft pistols you have to buy some Co2 gas designed to fit into the slot to fill the tank inside the gun. With the electric airsoft pistols the battery comes with the gun but you have to charge it back up which can take a few hours to fully charge.

Answer 4

Unless you want to waste tons of money on a gas assault rifle, buy electric.
