Air soft guns can be considered as the replicas of firearms. They are highly detailed in that you will have an idea of the mechanism of the rifle it is modeled after. They are meant mainly for recreational purposes. The name has its origin from the fact that it makes use of compressed gas namely propane or carbon dioxide. Some models make use of the spring driven piston.
Usually metallic and non-metallic pellets ranging from sizes 6 mm and 8 mm is generally used. Air soft guns are generally harmless as the projectiles fired from it cannot penetrate the skin. However several high powered rifles, meant for training or law enforcement purposes can cause harm if they are not used with adequate care.
Air rifles come in different types. The spring powered airsoft guns work in a manner where the pellet in the barrel is fired by compressed air. The compression of air is facilitated by a spring which has to be cocked every time the user wants to make a shot. These come at lower and affordable prices and are easily available. The spring powered air soft gun is perhaps the first step in the path to using more advanced versions.
The electric rifle is the next type of air soft gun in which the spring is compressed by a motor that runs on electrical energy. The electric motor is run by an battery that is rechargeable. There are automatic electric guns available too. A more improvised version of automatic electric-gun is called Hybrid rifle. There are low powered as well as medium powered ones. The latter is commonly referred to as middle powered electric guns.
The Electric Blow Backs are electric rifles that come at a cheap rate. They have certain additional features giving it a higher semblance to the real guns it takes after. Mini electric guns and automatic electric pistols are all varieties of electric soft guns that utilize electrical energy.
The gas powered airsoft guns can be automatically or semi-automatically operated. The classic air soft guns are the older versions of air rifles. The carbon dioxide gas which on compression propels the pellets is generally stored externally in a tank in a manner similar to that of a paintball gun.
