About Airsoft Spring Guns
Let's just run through the basics, OK. An airsoft spring gun is an airsoft gun that uses spring as the mechanism to assist it in firing the 6mm BB. This is quite an affordable airsoft guns, normally in the form of pistols. So this is suitable for entry level. It is cheap because it does not use any external power to assist in firing the BB. However, you would need to cock and recock the slider everytime before firing a shot. Therefore, you cannot shoot fully or semi automatic. Airsoft spring guns in the form of pistols are normally the least powerful form of airsoft guns as compared to gas and electric. Airsoft spring guns are suitable for 10 feet shooting range.
I used to think that it's the spring the propels the BB when you fire. Wrong - the spring is just assisting. When you cock the slider, it compresses air and when you fire a shot, the spring decompress and pushes air into the piston. So what's firing the BB is air.
Since the airsoft spring guns are rather cheap, it suitable for new people in the arena. However, spring guns in the form of rifles are normally not for beginner. It shoots out a more powerful force. Most of the time, stronger that airsoft electric guns and gas airsoft guns. Some good airsoft sniper rifles also uses spring as the mechanism. The long barrels really boost the speed when firing a shot. Since snipers do not engage in a field combat, airsoft spring guns are suitable as snipers do not need to fire many rounds of shots. A popular airsoft spring rifle would the APS-2.
What you would want to have when having an airsoft spring guns is the silicone spray lubricant which helps in lubricating moving parts. If it is well maintain, it can longer the life of your airsoft spring guns. Sometimes people even upgrade their airsoft electric guns with better springs and motor, being able to deliver to 400 fps on a 0.20g plastic BB.
