Do You Want Gas, Electric, Or Pump Airsoft Guns?

By Anthony Carter

If you want to buy airsoft guns, you will need to be at least eighteen years of age, or know someone who is. Most places will require you to present your ID before you can buy their products. Next, you will have to choose the type of gun you want. Airsoft guns are available in pistol, rifle, automatic, and sniper rifle versions. They also come in electric, pump, and gas form. There are differences in the way each type of gun handles and operates. You will also want to pick a gun that has authentic features, if that is what you are interested in. These factors can all affect the overall performance of your airsoft gun.

If you are looking for a straight shooter, to hit targets at great distances, you will want to choose a rifle. If you want a gun that is easy to handle and small, then a pistol will be your best option. If spraying tons of shots per second sounds like fun to you, then an automatic airsoft gun will be your favorite gun type. Once you have decided on the type of gun that you want, you will need to know if you want your gun to be a pump, electric, or gas gun.

Rifles are great for hitting targets, but they are slow shooters. These can be fun to use if you have time to pump the rifle and aim consistently, but if you find yourself in a tight spot, and need a gun that can spray, you will want to investigate electric and gas airsoft guns.

Electric or gas guns will be perfect for you if you want a gun that is easy to shoot. Pump guns are good for target practice. They seem to allow the shooter to focus on accuracy rather than other considerations. These can be great for improving your ability to aim. You will find that if you practice with pump guns, you will be able to shoot more accurately when using the other types of guns. If you are looking to combat other people, you will find that you are at a great disadvantage to your friends if they have automatic rifles.

If you are looking for an airsoft gun that packs a punch, you will love either pump or gas guns. These guns are more powerful generally, but you cannot shoot as much per charge. This makes electric guns superior according to some people. Accuracy is not usually that type of shooter's biggest concern though. If you are looking for a good gun for target practice, then you will probably love gas airsoft guns.

Electric guns can shoot many shots without any pumping being necessary. The only limit you have when using these guns is the amount of shots you can take per battery charge. This will vary per gun, but you usually get so many shots per charge, the lifespan of the battery generally isn't a problem. You will find that it can be fun to have an electric gun that has an unlimited number of shots. This takes all the hassle of pump guns out of the equation, but still gives you every capability that you could want from your airsoft gun.

There are also gas powered automatic guns for those who want a lot of power. You will have to replace the gas powered cartridges fairly often with these versions. That is the only drawback. These are great guns if you want a high powered, accurate, and consistent shot from your gun. You will love that you get all of these qualities without having to worry about pumping.

Gas powered guns are generally better than electric guns, but you may like electric more, because then you won't have to deal with gas cartridges. - 31409
