Hey, First of all this is a developing series all about Airsoft and my experiences at a skirmish site.
So The first step Buying a Airsoft Gun. With Airsoft becoming a hobby battling paintball more and more people get confused about things like RIS rails, LPEG, AEG, CQB and Tightbore Barrels im here to explain the majority of these and also answering peoples questions in the comments.
The Only Problem with this guide and i admit it i can't explain gas Airsoft guns and I admit that. If anyone could explain in a private message don't hesitate to send it
So Here is the Guide
This guide is not in any way to discuss real firearms that might or might not be illegal in your country but I take no responsibility for what you do with real or Airsoft guns

A Airsoft gun's Firing Mechanism is simple
1. Somehow pull a spring back
2. Feed a 6mm BB into the Chamber
3. Hold The Spring until the Trigger is pulled
4. When the Trigger is Pulled Release the spring and Launch the BB through the barrel into the Air
The Somehow pull a spring back could be manually pulled back which is commonly called a spring gun
However The Somehow pull a spring back could be made by a Electric Motor which is called a AEG an Automatic Electric Gun
Generally Spring Airsoft guns in a Airsoft Skirmish are only suitable for snipers
But Electrics are good for everything else.
This is a general rule Me and My Mates Worked Out
Electrics for Rifles
Gas for Pistols
Spring for Snipers

Pretty strange, huh? We in the states have access to all sorts of nasty ass, truly lethal, REAL pistols, rifles, shotguns, etc., while those in the UK & many other countries simply don't have that right. Perhaps that is *exactly* the very reason WHY we have such strict laws on replica, BB, and AirSoft guns. It's a crazy mixed up world... even more so than usual here in the US as of late. Regardless, EVERYONE should be *very* careful with such "big boy toys"... watch your ass folks, you don't want to end up shot dead & full of slugs all because you're trying to have fun with a cool looking gun that shoots plastic BBs!
i have seen more spring shotguns than electric
AEG everything!
