Buying Airsoft Guns
You can pay some pretty hefty prices for an airsoft gun - it certainly pays to shop around. It should always be on a web shopper's list to check ebay - not only will you save money on used airsoft guns, but the prices on new ones can be well below what you find elsewhere, even on the net. Merchants use ebay as a way to sell excess, last year's models, etc.
Why mess around with a lesser brand, when you can pay the same low prices you pay for an inferior airsoft gun, but get the higher quality model you really want? On ebay, you'll find trusted sellers who specialize in airsoft- check their feedback ratings, experience, etc. before you buy, and you'll have virtually no risk.
About Airsoft Guns
Airsoft guns (also known as Soft Air guns by some manufacturers, such as Cybergun and Crosman) are spring, electric, or gas powered air guns that fire small spherical plastic pellets of either 6 mm or 8 mm diameter (0.24 or 0.32 inches), although spring-operated "air guns" may be disputed as air guns altogether. Inexpensive airsoft guns are often very low powered and some players use them as professional airsofters would, but instead they play in areas like a house's backyard. Some of the more expensive models may be used for playing professional Airsoft, which is similar in concept to Paintball, with the exception that airsoft is a military simulation that usually has objectives instead of constant 'deathmatches.'
Generally they are replicas (in appearance only they can not be converted to fire real bullets) of real firearms, but occasionally fictional firearms or body kits are available, such as the M41A Pulse Rifle from the Aliens films. Some very inexpensive airsoft guns are reduced scale models (such as the Boys models by some makers) or caricatures (such as the mini-electrics) of firearms. In addition, some designs are replicas of firearms that never even went into service or production, such as XM8 prototypes.
Classic Airsoft Guns
Classic airsoft guns are usually older variety airsoft guns which are gas powered. Unlike the gas pistols of today, they can run on either an internal tank using conventional airsoft gas or use an external CO2 tank much like a paintball gun. They generally cost more than the standard AEG but provide a more realistic approach to airsoft. There is usually some "recoil" provided by these guns. While these guns can become more powerful than AEG's, almost all users operate them at sub-AEG power. Instead of relying on pure FPS for range and accuracy, they employ a special hop-up called a LRB. The LRB turns the entire barrel into a hop-up system, so the pellet can travel much farther without high muzzle energy. They also have a higher rate of fire because a spring doesn't need to be pulled back each time a shot must be fired.
