When choosing an Airsoft handgun or pistol you have a lot of different options. A handgun is a great replica to have because it is both versatile, reliable, and compact. You have the firing power of a larger weapon in a compact format. In the arena, you will need to have at least one pistol in your arsenal. When choosing which handgun to purchase you will have the option to choose between three main categories: Gas, Electric, or Spring.
A gas powered handgun is the most powerful style of handgun. The handgun actually uses a gas cartridge that expels a tiny blast of gas each time the trigger is pulled. The gas pushes the pellet out of the chamber, down the barrel, and speeding off towards your target. If you desire an handgun that carries with it the most powerful firing power then you should purchase a gas powered handgun.
An electric powered handgun also offers you a very reliable handgun format but the firing mechanism is powered by an in gun battery. The firing is electronic which means that you can have a very rapid rate of fire without losing any velocity. The electric handgun is a great option for anyone who can sacrifice a little power for a rapid rate of fire.
The last type of Airsoft gun is the spring powered handgun. This gun’s firing mechanism is powered by a heavy coil spring which is triggered each time the gun is shot. The spring powered gun is a great option because there are no cartridges to refill and no batteries to re-charge. The spring powered gun will fire every time you pull the trigger. The draw back to a spring loaded gun is that the rate of fire cannot be any faster than you can pull the trigger.
