AIRSOFT PISTOL HANDGUNS

Airsoft pistol handguns are a hobby amongst the grownups. These handguns come in two types i.e. the old revolver style and the regular handgun of 9mm. The Airsoft pistol handguns do not cause any serious injury unless if hit in the eye. This can cause blindness in the absence of an appropriate eye gear. They fire at a speed of 6mm plastic bb, the maximum being 450 feet per second.

The Airsoft Pistol Handguns are available in different models like the gas, electric powered and spring. The electric powered runs till the pellets are over and are considered the most reliable amongst the three. After one or two magazines, gas handguns need to be refilled while the spring model after every shot needs to be cocked. One can choose a blowback replica from a gas model. The replica behaves like an actual firing in which usage of the gas forces the top of the gun to slide backwards. This feature is available in a few electric powered guns as well.

Few examples of the Airsoft Pistol Handguns are the Beretta, M1911, Glock and Desert Eagle, just to name a few.
