Benefits of Getting a Cheap Airsoft Rifle

Executive Summary by Justin Kander

cheap airsoft rifles

There are many benefits to purchasing an airsoft rifle of low caliber. While there are many high quality options out there, the fact of the matter is that not everybody needs the best airsoft gun out there.

Everybody needs to make sacrifices in different areas of their lives, and if you are not a regular airsoft player, there is no point in paying a lot of money for an airsoft gun that you will only use sporadically.

Therefore, it is good that there are so many other options that you can choose from, that are still pretty good but a lot cheaper.

In some cases, you may need an AEG no matter what. For example, if all of your friends play with AEGs, then you would be at a great disadvantage to use anything less. However, this scenario is somewhat rare, because if you are going to be using an AEG, then you are probably going to use it often. If you are going to use an airsoft gun a lot, it might as well be a good gun, as then you get a lot more utility and fun from each game.

The best gun for a beginner player, and one who does not plan on playing too much, is a low-powered electric gun. These guns are not that fast or durable, but they definitely can get the job done, and they can still shoot at over one hundred fifty feet per second, which is fairly decent.

As long as you are willing to go through a lot of BBs to compensate for lower accuracy, LPEGs are ideal for players who do not participate in competitive airsoft games. It is also important to remember to be careful with your gun, as they can break fairly easily.

I bet I am not making the case for these guns very strong, but keep in mind these products cost around twenty to thirty dollars. Paying that kind of money for a fully automatic rifle is a deal no matter what other factors you take into consideration, although the weaknesses are not that bad when you take them into practical consideration.

Gas Airsoft

Gas Airsoft - Power and Portability Combined

Executive Summary by Niall Roche 

gas airsoft

In the world of airsoft guns first comes spring powered and then we have gas powered airsoft guns. Spring airsoft guns are great fun and totally functional but gas models take the airsoft hobby a step up. The annoying aspect of spring airsoft is having to manually cock the gun each time you fire it - whether it's a pistol or not.

Gas airsoft guns contain a gas charge (hence the name) so your single shot days are over and you can enjoy a more automatic firing experience. These guns work in the same way as the spring ones in that a piston compresses and drives air through the gun barrel to fire the bb but because there's a "constant" gas charge in the gun you can fire several dozen rounds without having to worry about cocking it again.

You'll notice that most airsoft gas guns are hanguns or small machine guns - the Uzi being a perfect example. There are a few gas powered rifles but these only ever seem to be sniper models and never assault rifle replicas. A full sized airsoft assault rifle could deplete an entire gas charge or even a tin of compressed gas in just a few moments. That same amount of gas would provide an airsoft handgun with enough power to fire off several clips of bbs and leave some gas to spare.

Your airsoft gas handgun or machinegun is recharged through a small nozzle at the base of the gun - usually right underneath the handgrip or near where the ammo clip is inserted. Simply press a can of gas into the nozzle and fill the gun until it's fully charged. For the first few bursts the gun will be operating at full power and then it will slowly die off until it's a feeble popping noise and it'll need to be recharged again.

Running an airsoft gas gun ain't free but it doesn't cost the earth either. The running costs are, however, something you need to take into account before buying one of these guns. A 1000ml tin of gas will cost about $8 or alternatively you can buy a gas pump that you carry around with you. This is pumped to a certain pressure and you can then recharge the gun from this. The only downside to these is that you have to carry the pump around with you as it's permanently attached to the gun itself.

Because airsoft gas guns contain a sealed gas chamber they need to be handled with extra care. Personally I've destroyed one Desert Eagle and a Beretta by dropping them on hard ground and cracking the case of the gun. These proved impossible to repair and the guns had to be thrown out. Treat any gas powered airsoft weapon with extra care - you'll thank yourself in the long run.

Green Gas Airsoft

Key Insight to Airsoft Green Gas 

Executive Summary by Jeffry Evans
 

green gas airsoft

Green gas, in simple terms, is propane. It is extremely flammable and should be handled with caution. Many gas airsoft guns use green gas as the primary propellant. Green gas and the associate gas airsoft guns that use it are more powerful than CO2 and other gas powered airsoft guns. Although it is flammable, it isn't much more dangerous than hairsprays and other common household goods. Propane is used as a common refrigerant as well.

This type of gas is often tagged as a haz mat (hazardous material) when it comes to shipping. Therefore many outlet stores do not stock it. However, it can be found on the internet, and a small canister might sell for around $20-$40. But again, the shipping will be higher, so make sure that you buy some other airsoft products, to help balance out the costs.

This may seem costly, but one small can of this gas can last for lots of refills of your airsoft gun. If you want cheap airsoft guns, you probably won't be interested in airsoft gas guns. Gas airsoft guns are the high end guns, and you will be paying more for them. If you want cheap airsoft guns, consider going with spring powered guns or electric guns.

Green gas gives the most realistic and lifelike action of any of the airsoft products available to date. Especially when combined with a blowback gun, the firing experience will have a fairly loud sound, as well as a kick when the slide or hammer is engaged. Often this will be combined with an automatic reloading of the airsoft gun. Thus, you can have semi-automatic or fully automatic gas airsoft pistols and guns.

So when it comes to having military simulations or law enforcement simulations, using green gas with gas airsoft weapons is the most realistic combination. Gas airsoft pistols are normally just as heavy as the real thing, use full metal, are high powered, and when used with heavier BBS (like .2g or .25g) can be very accurate, even at longer ranges. So if realism is your fancy, you will desire to go with green gas and gas powered airsoft gear.
