The Growing Popularity of Electric AEG Airsoft Guns
Not everyone is an expert of Airsoft guns, even though it may seem so as they are seen in the hands of almost everyone. One of the most popular guns especially among the teenagers are the electric AEG airsoft guns. There is a huge variety of different types and kinds of airsoft guns.
Some differ from the others on the basis of their mechanism while others differ on the basis of their designs. The basic three types of cheap airsoft guns on the spring powered airsoft guns, gas powered airsoft guns, and the electric powered airsoft guns. Then there are shotguns, airsoft rifles, airsoft snipers and the electric AEG airsoft guns.
There are many guides available on the internet when it comes to airsoft and its gear and its accessories. But not all guides are correct and some of them even mislead people. I am an airsoft player and I started playing airsoft about five years ago. In the beginning, I bought spring airsoft pistols and learned the art of proper shooting from there and then I moved on to more complex and advanced ones like the electric AEG airsoft guns which are still my favorite and top preference. So, let us have a look at a brief introduction of these guns.
What are Electric AEG Airsoft Guns?
The Electric AEG airsoft guns are those which are powered via a battery mechanism and feature automatic mode of action. They also shoot plastic BBs just like other airsoft guns. These guns, in particular, are used assault and defense, but all positions can be well played with them. The automatic guns are those which shoot multiple BBs on a single trigger pull.
These guns look more realistic than the other ones and this is also the reason for their popularity among airsofters. There are other types of airsoft guns as well i.e. gas powered airsoft guns which operate via a gas mechanism and spring powered airsoft guns which operate via a spring mechanism. The spring powered ones are the less realistic among all and they do not come in automatic mode as you have to cock these guns every time you want to shoot from them.
Electric AEG Airsoft Guns come both with plastic construction as well as metal construction. The plastic ones are easy to carry and are convenient while playing airsoft or practicing the art of shooting. But the metal ones are heavy ones and they are durable. They also look realistic as having a metal airsoft pistol in your hand feels like a real pistol.
So, they look quite realistic, especially when they are electric AEG airsoft guns. They also real guns in terms of their mechanism. Just like a real gun fires bullets until its trigger is released or all the bullets are fired, similarly, these airsoft guns also continue to shoot projectiles until the trigger is released or all projectiles have been fired.
One other main reason for the popularity of these guns is their high rate of fire (ROF) which attracts airsofters. There are a few things which are preferred in these guns and the one thing which should be avoided is the plastic construction of these guns. Plastic gearboxes are not that durable and they are also more prone to breakage.
Whereas metal gearboxes are quite durable and they do not break easily as well. Therefore, metal gearboxes should be your first preference if you ever set out to buy electric AEG airsoft sniper rifles. These parts have a long life and they also have the capacity to shoot fast as well whereas plastic ones are known to shoot less fast and look less realistic.
