More Info on Snipers and Sniping
Good patience is strongly recommended if you want to play a sniper in an airsoft game . Most airsoft rifles are spring powered, which gives you only one shot each time you cock the gun. This is why waiting for the right shot is so important. Missing your target can give away your position and by the time you have cocked the gun to take another shot the enemy may already be trowing BBs your way. However, waiting for the right shot will definitely pay off. You will have downed an enemy player, who most likely had no idea what hit them. You will also get the satisfaction from making a great shot.
Sniper rifles are some of the most powerful airsoft guns, usually shooting at around 400+ FPS (feet per second) with .20 gram BBs. They need this power to make them as accurate as possible at long distances. As a sniper most of your hits will be from a distance. To hit close range targets you will probably want to pull out your sidearm because snipers are not meant to be close range weapons. Due to their long barrels they are cumbersome, and they have a slow rate of fire.
Figuring out what weight of BB to use with your sniper rifle will be very important. Heavy BBs shoot straighter because they are less effected by wind resistance and turbulence, but the drawback with weight is that the heavier you the BB the lower the FPS rating. Lower FPS means that the BB takes longer to reach the target and also decreases range. You also do not want to use BBs which are too light because they will not be accurate. Sure, if you use .12 gram BBs they might reach 500+ FPS but the velocity is worthless if you can't predict where the BB will land. So most of the time you will want a BB with a weight somewhere in between the two extremes. Many airsoft snipers use .20g to .28g BBs, but the weight you use will vary depending on your preferences and your rifle.

Airsoft Shotguns
In general, airsoft shotguns are usually spring powered airsoft guns. This means that they must be cocked before each shot is fired. Most airsoft shotguns are have a pump-action handle which allows them to be cocked using the handle attached to the barrel of the gun, just like how a real shotguns functions. This is a great advantage of a spring airsoft shotgun versus other spring airsoft guns because you do not have to let go of the gun with either hand to cock it. You can keep a steady aim on your target while getting your next shot ready instead of changing your focus to cocking the gun after each shot.
Airsoft shotguns are a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, especially in CQB (close quarters) games. They are easy to aim and shoot at close ranges and the pump action gives them a decent rate of fire. An advantage that most of the higher grade shotguns have is that they fire a burst of BBs (usually 3 or 6) each time the trigger is pulled, making it even easier to hit the intended target.
Airsoft shotguns make great starter airsoft guns. They are relatively inexpensive starting at around $15.00 for the cheapest guns to around $80.00 for the best spring powered airsoft shotguns. They make great CQB guns and are also accurate at medium ranges. They also shoot hard and are very reliable due to the low number of moving parts in a spring powered gun. A great advantage of picking a shotgun as a starter airsoft gun is that it will still be useable even if you purchase a more expensive top-of-the-line AEG at a later date.

Airsoft Guns
An airsoft gun is a type of air gun that fires 6mm plastic BBs at lower velocities than a typical air gun does. Most airsoft guns are made to be scale replicas of real firearms and are made to look and feel as realistic as possible. All airsoft guns use compressed air or gas to propel the BBs forward, but the way in which they accomplish this varies depending on the type of gun.
Types of Airsoft Guns
There are three main types of airsoft guns: gas, spring, and electric. In spring and electric airsoft guns a high powered spring is contracted to a point where its maximum potential energy output can be achieved. When the gun is fired the spring is released from this position. A piston is attached to the spring, so when the spring uncoils the piston shoots forward, and in turn compresses the air in front of it. This compressed air is what propels the BB forward. In spring powered airsoft guns the spring is cocked back manually before each shot. In an electric airsoft gun a high torque motor and gear box are used to accomplish this task, and allows the airsoft gun to fire in full-auto mode.
Gas airsoft guns work a little differently. Instead of air they use Green Gas, Propane, or CO2. The gas is already compressed so there is no spring which needs to be compressed before each shot, pressurized gas is already stored inside the gun. When the trigger is pulled some of this gas is released, which then propels the BB forward.
Airsoft Gun Styles
Airsoft guns come in many shapes and sizes. The styles can generally be divided into two main categories: pistols and rifles. Airsoft pistols are handguns and generally used as sidearms. Rifles are larger and usually more powerful than pistols.
Airsoft pistols are usually made to be replicas of real handguns. Most of them are modeled after magazine fed pistols such as the Berretta 92FS, Glock 18, 1911, or Sig Saur. Magazine fed airsoft pistols usually have magazine capacities of 12 to 50 rounds, but some also come with high capacity magazines with 100 shots or more. Gas versions of these pistols often also feature a blow back mechanism which makes the slide shoot back for each shot. This makes the firing action more lifelike and emulates the recoil that would be felt when firing a real firearm. There are also several models of airsoft revolvers. These airsoft pistols often use shells into which BBs are loaded. The shells are then loaded into a rotating cylinder just like a real revolver.
There are a great variety of different airsoft rifle styles. Airsoft rifles can be modeled after assault rifles, shotguns, or sniper rifles. Guns modeled after assault rifles are usually fully automatic AEGs (airsoft electric guns). They are commonly modeled after modern firearms such as the M4, M16, AK-47, G36, Steyer Aug, and many others. Airsoft shotguns and sniper rifles are usually spring powered. In airsoft shotguns the handle attached to the barrel is pumped before each shot is fired. Airsoft sniper rifles usually have a bolt-action system where a bolt is pulled back before each shot.

Information About Airsoft
Airsoft is a sport which started by using plastic BBs instead of lead pellets in air guns to make them safe for skirmishing. Thus the term soft air gun was originated, which eventually became airsoft. Since that time airsoft has developed into a popular pastime, enjoyed by youth and adult alike. Airsoft games can range anywhere from "backyard" skirmished between a few friends to full scale battles on life sized battlegrounds.
The appeal of airsoft for most airsofters is its realism. Most of the guns are made to be scale replicas of real weapons used by law enforcement and military personnel from all over the world. There are many different airsoft manufacturers and hundreds of different models and styles of airsoft guns. With such endless variety each airsofter can customize their gear to fit their style and preference.
The game can be played in virtually any type of location, much like real combat scenarios. This makes airsoft an appealing choice for professionals when purchasing training equipment. Many professionals in the military, law enforcement, and personal protection industries use airsoft guns on a daily basis for training purposes. Airsoft allows them to safely play out lifelike combat situations and train to handle these situations as effectively as possible. Not only is it airsoft a great way to train, it is also much less expensive than other training methods. Compared to using blank ammo airsoft BBs are only a fraction of the cost. 5,000 rounds of high quality airosft BBs can be purchased for only around $20.00.
