The first airsoft gun many players buy is typically a pistol or sidearm. For those who are curious about airsoft, a pistol is the cheapest way to get into the sport. The rationale being if they don’t like it, they can give the pistol to one of their buddies and be done with it. Conversely, if they do like it, they can use the pistol again.

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.

There are several factors in AEG batteries that need to be considered when selecting the right battery. One chief factor is the connection style. There are several types of connectors on the market, but the two most common, and the ones Elite Force uses, are Tamiya or Deans. Tamiya is extremely popular and very common. This is handy when locating a replacement battery at your local airsoft store or field. These connections work very well at efficiently transferring power from the battery to the device.

Airsoft guns are often classified by their power source. Popular power sources for airsoft guns are Electricity, CO2, or Green Gas. When you see the letters AEG, you are being told that the airsoft product is powered by electric DC current. Those three letters actually stand for Automatic Electric Gun. Most often AEG airsoft is associated with carbine or PDW (Personal Defense Weapon) sized devices. These bigger airsoft guns have the needed room to hide the battery power source that runs the system. Yes, most AEGs are capable of selecting firing mode between single-shot, burst, or fully automatic.
