  8. What are Airsoft guns?

    Airsoft guns are 1-to-1 scale replicas of actual pistols, rifles and machine guns that fire a 6mm plastic BB using air to propel the projectile. Some Airsoft pistols have a blow back action that provides a recoil effect. In addition to incomparable realism, Airsoft guns are reliable and accurate out to about 100 feet.

    Airsoft guns are not toys! While, Airsoft guns are hardly firearms, they can be DANGEROUS toys if not used properly! Eye and face protection is a must. If treated appropriately, like other 'potentially dangerous' item, Airsoft replicas can be instructional and entertaining.

  11. Battery voltage and sizes

    The battery voltage (V) is determined by the number of cells in the battery pack. Multiply the number of cells by 1.2 volts to get the pack's voltage, e.g. 7 cells x 1.2v = 8.4v, 8 cells X 1.2v = 9.6V. The amount of voltage determines the rate of fire of the gun and how strong a spring you can install in the gun.

    -7.2v-8.4v
    -Usually associated with stock or down-graded guns

    -9.6v
    -Used with upgraded guns
    -Increase in rate of fire

    -10-12v
    -Used with highly modified guns
    -Used with an air of caution

  12. Why do some Airsoft replicas have manufacturer tradmarks, while others do not?

    By law, manfacturer trademarks are protected. Because most Airsoft products are manufactured and distributed outside of the United States, unfortunately they are sometimes ignored. Because of this, trademarks are sometimes removed after leaving the factory to be complient with U.S. Customs or not avaliable stateside. However with an ever growing market more and more replicas are legally attaining proper rights to imatate their real counter-part.
