Yes. There are Gas powered guns and spring powered guns.
In airsoft guns, automatic electric gun. Battery powered airsoft, versus spring powered or gas powered.
Overall, yes.
No they're hard plastic.
No, airsoft guns are toys. They use batteries and gearboxes to fire 6mm plastic bbs at an average of 2 joules. Although many high powered air rifles can be as dangerous as real guns, they should not be confused with airsoft guns.
If it's a spring shotgun(which i assume it is) then the weather will not affect it. If it uses gas, then yes.
they are both plastic and metal and powered by battery or green gas.
Some gears become brittle and can break in cold weather. Also, batteries can degrade in cold weather. Spring guns usually do O.K. If you do use AEGS, use smaller bursts of fire, to relieve pressure on the gears. Do not use your most expensive gun in the winter.
No you do not need to put air in an airsoft gun. These guns are either spring powered where you must cock the gun before you shoot it, electric powered which are automatic and require batteries, or CO2 powered which requires a CO2 cartridge. This CO2 is not expensive and a pack of 40 CO2 cartridges costs only 20-25 dollars. the guns that require CO2 are not as common as the other forms of airsoft guns, although they are more powerful. In general, if you buy an airsoft gun, you do not need to put any air into it.
And airsoft company that makes videos and sells guns.
No, it is not. All spring powered guns need to be cocked for each shot.
Airsplat.com is the place where I learned about airsoft guns and how they work. Their Customer Service is friendly and will answer any questions you have about Airsoft guns. First of all there are 3 different Airsoft guns; SPRING, GAS, and ELECTRIC. Spring guns are manually functioned meaning you have to manually retract the cocking mechanism to shoot one BB at a time. Gas guns are typically filled with CO2 cartridges or Green Gas which is a mixture of 100% Silicon and Propane which both the CO2 cartridge and the Green Gas are loaded into the magazine. The Electric working airsoft guns are powered by batteries and electronic components that are upgradable can enhance the performance of the guns rate of fire and durability.
