Airsoft is a fun-filled game which is played using toy guns. These guns are not just your average toy guns and indeed they fire ammunition. This ammunition however comes in the form of plastic pellets and thus cannot cause bodily harm unless shot into the eyes or the face area. Newbies to this game are encouraged to start with pistols although rifles, shotguns and machine guns are also available. Airsoft pistols are actually very similar to real pistols and some even tally in weight and dimensions. The pellets used with these pistols are normally yellow in color and measure around six millimeters.

The Airsoft pistols are not as expensive as the other Airsoft gun varieties and they are mainly available as spring, gas or electric-powered guns. The spring pistols have a nozzle that is backed by a metal spring which pushes it forward thus creating a compression force to propel the pellets forward. The spring variety is loved for its reliability and cheap price tags. The gas pistols are powered by a gaseous mixture of green gas. They are very powerful and very accurate compared to the motor-driven electric pistols. The electric ...
... pistols are however very suitable for that person who does not want to keep on cocking his or her or the added expenses and inconveniences involved with the gas canisters. Many people go for the blowback gas pistols because they have a more realistic shot thanks to their top slide recoil mechanism.

The different pistol models available vary in designs and details and are normally made from ABS plastic, wood, or metal, although some countries like Japan do not allow the metal pistols for purposes of avoiding deception. Different brands of these Airsoft pistols are known to have varying degrees of accuracy and quality and as such they also vary in cost. The quality of these pistols is determined by the internal operations of the gun and factors such as the materials used to make the gearboxes and bushings.

Airsoft pistols vary in the capacity of pellets they can carry, the velocity with which they discharge the pellets, and how fast they can shoot. The pellets used with these pistols come in two varieties, the polishes and unpolished. The polished ones are obviously the better type as they do not jam the barrel or excessively wear the spring as the unpolished pellets do.

There are several accessories customers normally buy along with these pistols and they include safety glasses, full face masks for face and eye protection, flashlights, belt and leg pistol holsters, protective padded pistol cases, quick aim electronic dot, protective safety vests, and so forth. You will note that Airsoft pistols come with a permanent orange mark. The mark is meant to differentiate these toy pistols from the real ones.
