Classic Airsoft Guns
Classic Airsoft Guns
Classic airsoft guns are usually older variety
airsoft guns which are gas powered. Unlike the gas pistols of today, they
can run on either an internal tank using conventional airsoft gas or use an
external CO2 tank much like a paintball gun. They generally cost more
than the standard AEG but provide a more realistic
approach to airsoft. There is usually some "recoil" provided by these guns.
While these guns can become more powerful than AEG's, almost all users
operate them at sub-AEG power.
Instead of relying on muzzle velocity for range and
accuracy, they employ a special hop-up called an LRB. The LRB turns the
entire barrel into a hop-up system, so the airsoft pellet can travel much farther
without high muzzle energy. They also have a higher rate of fire because a
spring airsoft doesn't need to be pulled back each time a shot must be fired.
