Hello and welcome to the very first session of Airsoft Basics, a series of short Airsoft tutorials to keep you informed and ready for the battlefield. I'm your host Diles 46. Let's begin the lesson. LiPO batteries and chargers LiPo Batteries. Eventually you will end up using LiPO batteries for your AEG if you're not already using Lithium Polymer batteries, or LiPo’s for short, have many benefits over the default nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries, or NiMh for short.

Earlier this spring we attended the NRA Annual Meetings and Exposition in Dallas, Texas. As a part of our booth, we teamed up with Laser Ammo and Gnat Warfare to build what we will humbly call the coolest interactive display in the whole building. You see, some of LaserAmmo’s R.E.A.L. conversion kits made for blowback airsoft pistols will drop right into our GLOCK replicas. These drop-in laser barrels in combination with Laser Ammo’s Interactive Targets and Gnat Warfare’s “flying” drone targets all added up to the most fun of any booth in the show.

To quote the great comedian Tommy Chong, “There’s too much recession, man.” Or was it too much repression? Either way, between the economic situation and the state of the world there’s a good sized handful of reasons why you need to be using a blowback airgun in 2024. Without wasting (too) many words, listen up.

Airsoft is a popular sport that simulates military engagement using replica firearms that fire plastic pellets, commonly known as BBs. Elite Force Biodegradable Airsoft BBs provide both quality performance and environmental benefits. This blog explores the importance of using these biodegradable BBs in airsoft.

Airsoft guns shoot a perfectly round 6mm plastic BB. This BB, if it came out of the barrel without any rotation, would knuckleball and not have any semblance of accuracy. A traditional rifle style twist would stabilize the BB somewhat, but the BB would not go any farther than the knuckleball style BB with no spin. Airsoft BBs will fly straight and farther when a backspin is put on the BB. This backspin has a name, the Magnus Effect. If the spin imparted to the BB is too great, the BB will curve upward rapidly. When tuned in just right, the BB will fly straight and for a greater distance than it would otherwise.

Many airsoft guns are made to accept aftermarket accessories very easily. This might be through factory Picatinny rail, M-LOK rail slots, KeyMod rail slots, or through Quick Disconnect sockets.
