There are three means of power used for airsoft guns; spring, electric, and gas. These three types of power also give rise to various guns that harness it, such as; shot guns, machine guns, rifles, and pistols. Replicates of real firearms, these airsoft machines are designed to only use 6-8mm wide projectiles.
When players of Airsoft are looking for a specific gun, they will take into consideration the length of the battery life, the capacity of the magazine, and the rate at which the gun fires. Other considerations may include; range, reliability, size, weight, customization, or how real it looks.
Spring Powered - The first guns for airsoft were dubbed "springers" and were single action guns that only fired one BB at a time. Between each shot, the gun would have to be re-cocked to be ready for the next firing.
Electricity - AEGs or, Automatic Electric Guns, are the most common airsoft firearms today. Rechargeable batteries are what enable BBs to be propelled from the gun. The use of gearboxes inside is what allows the projectile to be fired and these guns usually have a longer range than the gas models.
Gas Powered -The type of airsoft firearms that followed after spring powered were actually gas-powered that had either an external or an internal gas chamber. The internal reservoirs were CFC gas and the external ones used highly pressurized carbon dioxide. This type of gun is actually increasing in popularity, due to them becoming more and more realistic looking.
They have also become more accessible because of their increase in quality and have changed to using "green gas". This environmentally friendly gas is propane mixed with small quantities of silicon lubricant and perfume.
Many manufacturers have recently started to produce adapters that will screw directly onto a propane tank, enabling the use of pure propane, which is cheaper than the green gas.
When using green gas, a recoil effect is caused when the gun is fired. The magazine in each pistol houses a storage cylinder with enough gas to propel 30+ BBs from the magazine, which adds to the realism of the airsoft firearm. With the gas being contained in the magazine itself, the gun can be loaded, unloaded, and fired similarly to the way a real semi-automatic pistol is. The typical gas airsoft hand gun magazine will hold 10 to 20 rounds. There are high capacity magazines with a winding mechanism that will hold up over 50 rounds.
Many early models of airsoft guns were made from ABS plastic, except for a few internal parts requiring movement. New models from Taiwan and China have external and internal metal parts. With the use of aluminum and plastic, many airsoft firearms will look realistic but be much lighter to carry.
