ABOUT AIRSOFT BB GUN
Airsoft guns are not firearms, Airsoft guns fire a plastic bb pellet or ball of about 6 millimeters diameter. The Airsoft guns are specifically designed to fire these BB pellets and only these Airsoft BB pellets. The method they use to achieve this is by the use of a small pump which delivers a measured amount of air behind the Airsoft BB pellet.

Airsoft BB guns fire in a variety of methods, all basically the same. There are spring, gas and electric or AEG Airsoft BB Guns available. Spring guns fire one pellet at a time, having to be manually re-cocked for each shot. Gas guns use an inert gas, normally CFC-free gas, which delivers a higher range than a spring Airsoft BB Gun. The new kid on the block, so to speak, is the electrically powered airsoft gun. These are called 'AEG's, or 'Automatic Electric Guns'. These are modelled on either rifles or sub-machine guns, and can fire in select fire mode. They use a small electrically-powered motor, powered by a battery, and supply greater rapid rates of fire.

Some Aisoft skirmishes and players are UKARA registered meaning they can use black colour replica Airsoft guns at these UKARA skirmish sites. If the organiser is not a UKARA registered site nor the player all guns must be 2 TONE Airsoft BB Guns meaning that at least 60% of a guns coloured must be non black to show it is not a real gun.
