Gas Airsoft Pistols
Gas airsoft pistols use green gas or CO2 to propel the airsoft ammo through the air. The most popular type of gas airsoft pistols are gas blowback pistols (GBB) which have a life-like action when fired which makes the pistol recoil very much like a real gun.
Electric Airsoft Pistols
Electric airsoft pistols have a spring that is used to propel the airsoft ammo through the air, much like a manual spring pistol. However, electric airsoft pistols have a battery powered mechanism that automatically cocks the pistol, enabling it to be fired on a semi automatic or fully automatic basis
