Airsoft guns as an enthusiast activity can bring many hours of enjoyment, especially when one takes some time to learn a little bit about what these toy replica guns can do for most hobbyists. It's a fact that these sorts of replica weapons fire rubber BBs or BBs that are composed of soft plastic at velocities such that a lot of fun can be created without a lot of potential harm.
For the most part, these replica guns are extremely detailed, and can resemble the actual thing in every aspect, at least to the untrained eye. They come in a variety of types and kinds, including handguns, shotguns and rifles -- especially those kinds of rifles that looked like the military version, such as the M4 carbine.
For some reason, most enthusiasts seem to gravitate toward the rifle versions of these airsoft guns. The most popular model of replica gun sold is currently that M4 carbine with an under barrel grenade launcher. Usually, most manufacturers of these kinds of replica guns include a brightly colored tip at the end of the barrel or muzzle. It's there for a reason.
Airsoft guns can fire off -- via means of electric powered pistons -- BBs at up to 300 feet per second. This velocity, created in the firing mechanism and that uses air as the propellant for the BB, is sufficient to really send rounds down range and give a role-playing or team on team shoot out excellent realism and excitement.
If the idea of taking up this hobby is becoming more intriguing, then it's recommended that one go online and look at all of the different models and offerings available to see what sort of get or set up might make sense. Costs can run from $50 for a basic military rifle replica in plastic to over $300 for a finely detailed metal-version with added accessories, which will normally be thrown in for the price.
Depending on what sort of use the airsoft guns are going to be put to (combat-style competitions, team against team shoot outs etc.) there are several pieces of gear that will need to be added. This will include some sort of tactical harness or vest where additional magazines that hold BBs can be stored along with one or two extra battery packs that can be swapped out in the middle of a firefight.
Batteries that are used in these airsoft guns generally charge up fairly quickly although a new battery might require four hours or so in order to gain a full charge. As with any other sort of rechargeable battery try to drain it completely before recharging it fully in order to avoid problems with the battery developing a memory, which could cause it to shut the weapon down in the middle of usage.
As a means of firing off hundreds of soft plastic or rubber BBs per minute, airsoft guns do their jobs very well and with a lot of style in addition to looking very formidable, to boot. Such weapons are looked at as being a bit safer than using paintball-style gear and are far safer than what can be engaged in with copper-styled BBs and weapons that fire them. - 29951
