Winning The Game With Airsoft Guns

By Anthony Carter

The sport of Airsoft allows one to participate in a game of both strategy and active shooting. There are many different types of Airsoft game and the Airsoft guns that one chooses to use is dependent on the type of game they are playing. In games where there will be close encounters, one may find that a smaller Airsoft pistol will meet their needs. Other games may require the use of a bigger gun.

An Airsoft game is somewhat like a paintball game in that there are skirmishes, and the goal is to shoot somebody. However, the type of gun that is selected, the strategy that is used during the game, and the levels of play are very different.

People who play Airsoft take the game very seriously. This game is played throughout the world and there are several contests and championships each year. The Airsoft guns are exact replicas of real weapons and have the same weight and feel of the weapon that they are replicating.

One can easily be overwhelmed by the number of airsoft guns that are available. There are literally two Airsoft guns made for every weapon made. For instance, the AR-15 series weapon. There is an Airsoft Electric Gun in the AR-15 series, and an Airsoft Gas Gun in the AR-15 series. Both guns look and feel the same. They are both exact replicas of the AR-15 series weapon. However, in a cold climate, the AEG will out perform the AGG.

The differences in the guns and the options and add-ons that are available become very apparent in open day skirmishes. These skirmishes usually take place in standard Airsoft fields and are composed of groups of individuals who may or may not know each other. Usually in these games there are some players with a great deal of experience and some players who are just trying out the game for the first time.

The AEG is powered by a battery pack which works in any kind of climate. The AGG is powered by propane or CO2 and does not function as well in cold climates. Therefore, the individual who bring gas to a cold skirmish will find themselves in trouble when their opponents have the AEGs which shoot from one hundred to three thousand bbs a minute.

These guns use a battery pack which turns the gears that shoot the bb. There is an optional electrical blow back that can also be added to the guns that will give the gun recoil. Other options allow the gun to make the sound of a shot when the bbs are shot from the gun.

One will see many Airsoft guns at a game and each player will have a favorite gun. Some individuals prefer the AGGs which are Airsoft Gas Guns. These guns run using propane or a CO2 gas tank. Manufacturers have now created an adapter so that a person can get gas for their gun from a camp propane tank using the adapter.

At most Airsoft fields one can rent guns until they find the type of airsoft guns that will best meet their needs. These guns are both collectors items and players passions. While many of the basic guns are very affordable, as one plays the game and becomes more involved in the activities they soon begin adding options to increase their skills and strategy. - 31409
