Despite being the most reliable of Airsoft guns, the spring type has a major inconvenience in that you have to cock it every time you need to shoot. This sort of takes away the pleasure of the game and this actually led to the development of the gas and electric versions. The gas type also presented a challenge in that every few minutes you have to recharge the gun with a canister of carbon dioxide/green gas. The electric Airsoft guns address both these problems and users can enjoy extended hours of play courtesy of a rechargeable battery.

Airsoft electric guns come in a variety that includes rifles, pistols, machine guns, shotguns and machineguns and thus they vary in performance and indeed cost. Choice here depends on the individual’s taste and what each of these guns can offer to enhance the Airsoft game play. Some of these electric Airsoft guns are perfect replicas of the guns they are supposed to mimic. Another advantage that electric guns have over the spring and gas types is that they are very powerful and can push ammunition to very high speeds - anything between 160 to 500 feet per second. Being so fast and ...
... powerful they can actually cause grievous bodily harm if fired at someone from a short distance away.

Another exciting feature with electric Airsoft guns is that they can discharge up to two thousand rounds of ammunition per minute. This shows just how much exhilaration these guns can add to the game. Airsoft electric guns use an electric motor for their firing system and this explains how they can discharge so many bullets and at such high speeds. These motors are very efficient and power-consumptive but having a spare battery in hand will ensure extended hours of playing the ever exciting Airsoft game.

These guns are good for use in cold weather when the rest of the guns suffer various inefficiencies; the gas type suffers a decrease in pressure hence slower ammunition speeds while the spring type’s cocking system tends to jam. The electric type will thus give you an edge over the other game participants in such circumstances. Some of the electric versions weigh approximately the same as the real guns and hence they can be used for steady target practice. A downside to these electric Airsoft guns, and which is voiced by people who have handled real guns before, is that they do not give the real shooting feel.

Most stores tend to stock the electric Airsoft guns because they are the most sought after variety. They are also preferred by newbies to the game mostly because they come in a choice of two i.e. the automatic and semi automatic types.
