Airsoft Guns – General Description

Airsoft guns are highly detailed firearm replicas manufactured for recreational purposes.

Airsoft guns propel non-metallic 6mm pellets at muzzle velocities ranging from 100 to 600ft/s by way of compressed gas or a spring-driven piston.

Depending on the mechanism driving the pellet, an airsoft gun can be operated manually or cycled by either compressed gas such as Green Gas (propane), or CO2, a spring, or an electric motor.
