Airsoft
Created | Updated Oct 12, 2003
I just though i would try and make an entry to the guide, so here is one for your minds to gently fondle.
The topic.... AIRSOFT
This entry may take a while to come together, so come back if you are not completly satisfied as it is probable that the contents will invariabley change. (if that makes any sense, it is to early in the moring [or late at night] to tell. Now back to the subject, airsoft.
Airsoft is a sport(or should be recognised as one) in which ball bearings of 6mm diamiter (usually plastic) are fired at speeds mesuring from 1 fps (feet per second) to 500 fps, from a replica gun. Now this may sound super painfull, but seeing as airsoft guns are most commonly automatic electic guns (AEGs), which fire at around 270fps or up to 330 fps when upgraded (generally- there is no law for this, but all airsoft playing sites have rules which i will mention later), it is not that painfull. when i said most commonly aegs, i meant that there are a variety of categorys.
Semi auto-500fps
AEG- guns which use motors to wind back sprung pistons
GAS- guns which used compressed air
SPRING- guns which used manuallly cocked springs
Full auto-330fps
AEG- i can be bothered to re-type this, so see above
GAS- that was silly, i may as well of re-typed it
............................
THIS IS NOT THE END, MERELY THE BEGGINING
so come back for some more hardcore reading another time
