These are basically manufactured for recreational purposes. It can be operated manually or using compressed gas like green gas, CO2 or propane.

Some of the guns can be operated only by players who are 18 or more. There are several types of airsoft guns for your preference and there are various features in these guns. Let us find out more about these guns.

The spring powered guns are not the most powerful ones like the electric guns and the gas guns. However there are few models that can fire 500 fps such as shotgun and the sniper guns. The spring gun uses the elastic potential energy which is stored in its spring and with the help of compressed air it would fire. The most important thing is that they must be cocked before shooting.

The automatic electric guns are the next one; they work on the rechargeable batteries. They are mostly used types of air soft guns and the manufacturing of these airsoft guns is done in Japan. The guns have automatic operation making it very popular and most of the users call it AEG (automatic electric guns).

Hybrid guns, these guns are the latest type in the market. They are also a type of AEG but with a bit more of extra reality. They operate on a round per shell basis. In this method for every pellet which is fired the shell casing is ejected, the cap is fired and this produces a realistic sound and a real smoke effect.

The low-powered electric guns are otherwise known as LPEG, because there must be a difference between AEG and LPEG. These guns are considered as better choice when it comes to cost and handling but they are totally different from the mini electric guns.

Medium Powered electric guns, they are usually copies or clones of designs made by manufacturers like Tokyo Marui. Fully compatible MPEGs are clones of Marui or Classic Army originals. Mini Electrics Company UHC is very much known for its spring guns. They are different from LPEGs and are mostly of made of black or clear plastic. They are great for kids for practicing the targets.

Automatic Electric Pistols, these guns are popularly known as AEPs and were introduced in the year 2005. They operate using the electric powered system. They are good in cold weather and are better sidearms than the gas powered pistols. AEPs have a fixed slide where there is no external movement of the slide when it operates. Classic guns, these guns are gas powered which is old type of airsoft guns. They can run using the conventional airsoft gas or use an external CO2 tank. They are more than the common AEGs.

The air soft guns can be purchased based on power, range and your requirement. The person can buy the guns in any store and online automation store. A person must look for better deals over the internet for the best discounts and offers.
