Airsoft Guns

Almost 3 months now since I created this blog. This blog is all about airsoft guns and maybe you noticed that I have not described what airsoft guns is so let me tell it to you.

Airsoft guns
(also known as Soft Air guns by some manufacturers, such as Cybergun and Crosman) are spring, electric, or gas powered air guns that fire small spherical plastic pellet of either 6 mm or 8 mm diameter (0.24 or 0.32 inches), although spring-operated "air guns" may be disputed as air guns altogether. Very cheap airsoft guns are normally underpowered and unsuitable for match play, but some Chinese manufacturers such as Jing Gong (Echo 1) are now producing match-quality AEG's for under $100. The more expensive models by manufacturers such as Tokyo Marui and Classic Army are preferred by professional players due to their reliability and accuracy.

Most airsoft guns are replicas of real firearms, inkeeping with the realistic style of airsoft, but occasionally fictional firearms or body kits are available, such as the M41A Pulse Rifle from the Aliens films. Some very inexpensive airsoft guns are reduced scale models (such as the Boys models by some makers) or caricatures (such as the mini-electrics) of firearms. In addition, some designs are replicas of firearms that never even went into service or production, such as XM8 prototypes.
