<br />
While many people who play Airsoft like to fly solo, it is far more rewarding, challenging and exciting to play on a team. Like any team, an Airsoft unit has to work together to achieve maximum effectiveness. There are four possible roles you can play in a typical Airsoft unit: CQC/CQB, Field/Woodland, Gunner and Sniper. In today’s post, we’ll explore each of these roles, what they involve and the equipment they require so you can choose your mission and get started right away.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>CQC/CQB</b><br />
Close Quarters Combat (CQC) involves engaging the enemy and maneuvering within an enclosed space, usually an indoors arena. There is an intensity to CQC games that does not exist in any other type of Airsoft combat: distances are shorter, reactions are faster, and movements are more calculated. CQC equipment is centered on one aspect: mobility. Lightweight weapons are preferable here, as they will need to be brought up and utilized at very short distances. The compact weapons used in CQC are characterized both by a very high rate of fire and a short barrel, often with a lower FPS rating to avoid injury due to the short ranges involved. A common variant of CQC is handgun-only, where a <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/airsoft_gbb_s/23.htm">gas blowback pistol</a> is the usually the weapon of choice.<br />
<br />
<b>Field/Woodland</b><br />
Woodland or open-field Airsoft play is very similar to CQC, but it usually tends to be slower-paced and less intense. There is a slightly different skill set needed for woodland operations, as the soldier must be proficient at camouflage, movement to and from cover, and identifying and engaging targets at distance. The main difference lies in the weapons involved. Because the distances at which targets are engaged are greater than in CQC, the weapon must be high-powered enough and accurate enough to make the shot. A soldier who plays in outdoor or open arenas usually will employ a high-powered AEG battle rifle or assault carbine.<br />
<br />
<b>Gunner</b><br />
The basic role of a gunner is support - gunners supply suppressing firepower for their team so that they can make advances with minimal casualties. Gunners move and act in unison with the rest of their unit until enemy contact. Upon engagement, the gunner sets up his weapon and suppresses the enemy with bursts of 7-10 seconds (as opposed to the infantryman’s 3-second burst). Simply holding down the trigger not only wastes ammunition but can overheat the weapon. In addition, the gunner can keep his weapon on target better with a shorter burst. A gunner’s weapon of choice must be high-powered, have a very large magazine (usually box-shaped) and be able to sustain an extremely high rate of fire. Gunners usually employ a <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Electric_AEGs_s/1.htm">machine gun AEG Squad Automatic Weapon</a> (SAW).<br />
<br />
<b>Sniper</b><br />
The role of sniper is perhaps one of the most coveted and most misunderstood roles on the battlefield. A sniper is an excellent marksman, has almost unlimited patience, is a camouflage and concealed movement virtuoso, is usually a bit of a “lone wolf” and, above all, is silent. These skills take a great deal of time and effort to perfect, and being a sniper is not for everyone. A sniper’s equipment includes proper camouflage, a <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_High_Powered_Sniper_Rifles_s/28.htm">sniper rifle</a> and a sidearm. Proper camouflage for a sniper goes far above and beyond simply donning a ghillie suit. US Army Field Manual 23-10, Sniper Training, has a section dedicated to camouflage – it is a must-read for anyone who wishes to become an Airsoft sniper. A sniper’s weapon must have an extremely high FPS rating and a long barrel for precision. To maximize the effectiveness of the rifle, snipers will usually add scopes and bipods to their weapon. Finally, a sidearm is a necessity for a sniper. This is used for self-defense if an enemy contingent happens upon the sniper’s position and he is unable to engage it with his normal weapon.<br />
<br />
Now that you are familiar with the different roles and positions within a typical Airsoft squad, choose your mission, get out there and start practicing your new Airsoft role!<br />

It is, after all, a high energy sport that involves powerful gun replicas and adrenaline. But if you follow some basic safety precautions, airsoft is in fact a very safe activity.</p>
<p><strong>Protective Eye Coverings</strong><br>
This is one of the most important necessities for engaging in Airsoft activities as the eyes are some of the body’s most vulnerable points. People should never aim their Airsofts directly at another person’s eyes, but accidents do happen. In order to prevent serious, permanent damage to the eyes, Airsoft participants should purchase protective glasses or goggles from a reputable Airsoft accessories dealer. Eye-protecting accessories range in cover from protective shades to full protective facemasks, so Airsoft participants have a wide variety of protective eye covering choices.</p>
<p><strong>Protective Facemasks</strong><br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFfPESFOZNa8taHsfyf5QIuEiRdBG57Zm4HZgt7E3norxH8p0xRq7spl9CXnH2lP_gwePmP-PrjBG4yb8R_00VOHOYQOYEuTXamW_v1FNUB8FMrc0z3FaLPuIuRsiZeLVB1KUbsF_PGukX/s1600/mask.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="200" width="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFfPESFOZNa8taHsfyf5QIuEiRdBG57Zm4HZgt7E3norxH8p0xRq7spl9CXnH2lP_gwePmP-PrjBG4yb8R_00VOHOYQOYEuTXamW_v1FNUB8FMrc0z3FaLPuIuRsiZeLVB1KUbsF_PGukX/s200/mask.jpg" /></a></div>
Some facemasks come equipped with goggles, but others are designed to be used in tandem with eye protection. Facemasks protect other vulnerable facial areas such as the nose and the teeth; taking an <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_BBs_and_Ammunition_s/4.htm">Airsoft BB</a> to the teeth can cause serious dental damage. <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Masks_Goggles_Protective_Gear_s/61.htm">Airsoft facemasks</a> also protect soft-tissue areas like the cheeks, the chin, and the forehead.</p>
<p><strong>Protective Helmets</strong><br>
While BBs fired from Airsoft guns are unlikely to penetrate the skull, a direct hit to head can still sting greatly and cause a bump or a cut. Wearing a protective helmet will prevent such things from happening and will, of course, make Airsoft battle participants look cooler than they would without helmets. Protective helmets often come in replica form in typical uniform colors.</p>
<p><strong>Protective Clothing</strong><br>
Wearing a protective safety vest is a sound idea since getting hit with a BB in the torso stings. While Airsoft ammo is not likely to penetrate the skin, getting shot at close range anywhere is quite painful. Many protective vests also have convenient places for storing additional weapons and ammo, so the benefits go beyond safety. Wearing loose clothing all over the body is more important than wearing a protective vest because the baggy clothes will protect all the places it covers from the sting and cut of the BBs. Protective long sleeves and pants come in everything from basic baggy to ghillie-style sniper camouflage.</p>
<p><strong>Protective Gloves</strong><br>
Wearing gloves to protect the hands is a good idea because getting hit with a pellet on the fingers or the back of the hand is rather painful. Good gloves will also help the Airsoft participant better hold onto the gun and other weapons, increasing the Airsoft wielder’s grip. Gloves also look really cool; no Airsoft outfit that includes all the other protective clothing should be without gloves.</p>
<p><strong>Gun Box</strong><br>
Protecting the <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/default.asp">Airsoft gun</a> is important for both the gun and the gun wielder. An Airsoft gun should not just be left lying around in the garage or the closet; a gun box will keep the gun from getting the wear and tear that anything can get from sitting out with no protection. A gun box can also protect the gun carrier when out in public since even an Airsoft gun could be mistaken for a real gun if viewed from a certain angle.</p>
<p><strong>Other Safety Tips</strong><br>
All <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/default.asp">Airsoft weapons</a> come with the orange tip that tells everyone who sees it that it is not a real weapon. Removing, painting over, or otherwise concealing this tip is a federal offense as well as a bad idea. Given the amount of high-profile shootings people have seen on the news over the past several years, the public is particularly sensitive to the appearance of people carrying anything that looks like a firearm in public.</p>
<p>Only participate in Airsoft in the proper type of area. Airsoft is best enjoyed from an Airsoft park or on secluded, private property; people should not do Airsoft in crowded neighborhoods.</p>

There are currently many different types of guns available on the market, in both style and performance. Today we’ll give you a quick overview of spring-powered guns and the pros and cons of choosing this type of airsoft weapon.</p>
<p><strong>How Spring Guns Work</strong><br>
<a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Spring_Guns_s/3.htm">Spring powered airsoft guns</a> work by using a high tension spring that locks the piston back when you cock the gun. Depending on the type of gun, this happens when you either pull back the slide on a pistol, the grip on a shotgun, or the bolt on a rifle. Once the weapon has been cocked, you’re ready to fire. When the trigger is pulled,the spring is released, causing the piston to move forward, propelling the bb down and out of the barrel.</p>
<p><strong>The Pros of Owning A Spring Gun</strong><br>
First, lets look at some of the pros of <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Spring_Guns_s/3.htm">spring airsoft guns</a>. One of the main reasons almost all airsoft enthusiasts own one is simply because they are very inexpensive to both purchase and maintain. The lower price range make them perfect for people just starting out who want to try airsoft before spending a large amount of money on a more advanced gun. They are also fairly easy to modify, making them a top choice amongst users looking to customize their guns.<p>
<p>Another reason many airsoft owners choose spring guns is because of their reliability. Unlike gas and <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Electric_AEGs_s/1.htm">electric guns (AEGs)</a>, spring guns have no outside power source, making them extremely dependable, which can come in handy for those players who find themselves in wet or cold conditions. The reliability of spring guns have made them a prime choice among many players.</p>
<p>Although spring guns can only fire one shot at a time before reloading, they’re hailed for their accuracy and silence, making them a popular choice amongst snipers. Most airsoft snipers will choose a spring gun over any other type of airsoft gun.</p>
<p><strong>The Cons of Spring Guns</strong><br>
Spring guns cheap price may make them excellent for beginners, but one of their flaws is that they can break after excessive use. Because of the stress on the spring, they tend to tire out with time and eventually stop firing, requiring either a repair or a whole new weapon… but at this price point, replacing is not too painful. Spring gun bodies are also usually made out of plastic to keep their price down, however this makes the weapons more susceptible to cracks and breakage that may come along with rough use. The plastic may also affect the overall authenticity of the piece.</p>
<p>The most common factor that keeps users from purchasing spring guns is just the simple fact that their design requires the user to reload before each shot. Although this may not be a problem for a sniper, for close quarters battles this is not any option, especially as most players are outfitted with guns that can fire semi, and even fully, automatic. The spring guns slow rate of fire is their only major flaw, but it comes with the territory.</p>
<p>Whether you’re a seasoned airsoft owner looking to add a <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Megastore_New_Arrivals_s/52.htm">new airsoft gun</a> to your collection, or a new enthusiast to the sport, spring guns can be an affordable and rewarding choice of airsoft weaponry.</p>

<div>
Just as with a true firearm, it is
important to practice appropriate gun care with airsoft guns. Airsoft guns are, after all, highly complex
replicas of their real-life counterparts. A neglected gun can result in
misfires, malfunctions and a broken weapon. Every gun is different and will
require care based on its specifics… so be sure to read the manual thoroughly. That said, there are a few universals that
are worth keeping in mind, no matter what weapon you are caring for. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Storing Your Airsoft Gun</strong></div>
<ul>
<li>Always store your gun in a clean,
dry space, away from young children. If
there are very young children around, it is advisable to keep guns locked in a proper
firearm storage unit.</li>
<li>Never leave a gun loaded – or cocked
- and be sure to store magazines and guns in separate places.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<strong>Use Quality Airsoft Ammo</strong></div>
<ul>
<li>Only use high polished, high
density, <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_BBs_and_Ammunition_s/4.htm">quality airsoft BBs</a> that are perfectly spherical – no visible seams
or bubbles. </li>
<li>Cheap BBs like those sold at Wal-Mart
and general sport goods stores, will cause irreparable damage to gun internals and
void out your warranty.</li>
<li>Please note that some BBs will
bill themselves as seamless, when in fact they are not. They have only been polished so that seams
are no longer visible. Do your research
and only buy bbs from respected brands like <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/GoldenBall_Airsoft_6mm_BBs_s/257.htm">Goldenball</a> and <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/King_Arms_Airsoft_6mm_BBs_s/260.htm">King Arms BBs</a>.</li>
</ul>
<br>
<div>
<strong>Caring for Magazines and Clips</strong></div>
<ul>
<li>Never leave a gun loaded – or cocked
- and be sure to store magazines and guns in separate places.</li>
<li>To prevent jamming and misfires, always
check that magazines and clips are free of debris so you don’t have a loading
jam. If you choose to recycle <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_BBs_and_Ammunition_s/4.htm">airsoft pellets</a>, ensure that they are 100%
clean.</li>
<li>Empty magazines after each use.</li>
<li>With gas guns, do not use the
release valve when expelling gas. Loss of clip pressure can damage a gun.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<strong>Oiling Your Airsoft Gun</strong></div>
<ul>
<li>Always keep airsoft gun barrels free
of obstruction. Whenever cleaning a gun, be sure to set it to safety.</li>
<li>If you are using an AEG, decompress
the spring after every use. In some instances the gun will have a decompression
button while others will require that you switch the gun to semi-automatic and
fire a few shots. </li>
<li>Lubricate the barrel approximately
every 6 months with pure silicone oil spray. Never use petroleum lubricants, water,
solvents or general cleansers. And be sure to turn off hop-up before oiling and
be careful not to over oil your gun, which can damage bow rings and seals.</li>
<li>Spray cloth swatch and thread it
through the slit in your cleaning rod. Insert
and gently swab the inside of the barrel.
Follow the oiled swatch with a clean piece of cloth, to pick up excess
dirt and oil.</li>
<li>After cleaning, it may take a few
fires for hop-up to function. This is
perfectly normal.</li>
</ul>

If you decide to purchase an airsoft gun, no matter which make or
model you select, you will be guaranteed an adrenaline-pumping good
time. That said, the type of gun you need will depend on your climate,
your competition level,
and whether you are practicing accuracy or just looking to have a killer
time on a budget. We
understand how important these factors are when making a decision
between springs
powered, AEG’s or gas powered airsoft gun, and that’s why we put
together a good
comparison guide for beginners and advanced alike. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"></span></div>

<div>
The <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Spring_Guns_s/3.htm">spring powered airsoft gun</a> is probably the most
readily available variety since they’re affordable.
These weapons are named for their spring functionality which is responsible for launching the
BB pellet. Although some other airsoft gun's use a spring mechanism
as well this is the main and only function the spring airsoft gun uses to shoot.

<ul>
<li>Usually the least expensive option</li>
<li>No need for additional accessories like
batteries and chargers</li>
<li>Unlimited power source since it doesn’t run on battery
or gas</li>
<li>Many
upgrade options to create a very powerful gun</li>
<li>Can be used in all weather conditions (cold, hot,
wet, dry) since there’s no gas to freeze or battery to get wet</li>
<li>Great starter gun for first time airsoft gun users</li>
<li>Certain models
can make <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_High_Powered_Sniper_Rifles_s/28.htm">extremely powerful sniper rifles</a> with 400-700 fps</li>
</ul>

<li>They generally don’t last as long as other
airsoft guns although this can vary depending on the model you purchase</li>
<li>Often a plastic body as opposed to metal –

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Automatic Electric
Guns</span></div>
<div class="paragraph_break">
<br /></div>
<div>
The automatic electric is the most commonly
used airsoft gun in the market, especially the <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Electric_AEGs_s/1.htm">AEG rifle</a>. They run on
electric motors and are require an <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_AEG_Batteries_and_Chargers_s/44.htm">electric airsoft gun battery</a> that you will have to routinely charge in order to
use the gun. Although it typically
contains a spring, there are additional features on it that you won’t find on a
spring powered airsoft, like the gearbox. The gearbox possesses 3 gears that
combined with the piston, push against the spring to launch the pellet through
the barrel. This often provides extra power for your shot. </div>

airsoft rifle</li>
<li>No need to manually cock before each shot</li>
<li>Capable of rapid semi-automatic and automatic fire</li>
<li>Can “hot rod” them at a reasonable cost</li>

<li>Restricted space for magazines on automatic electric pistols</li>
</ul>
<div class="paragraph_break">
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Gas Powered</span></div>
<div class="paragraph_break">
<br /></div>
<div>
Gas powered guns are often called “classic airsoft guns”
since they were some of the first airsoft guns ever made. There have been protocols enforced
since then, however, to restrict the type of gas you can use to power them.
It’s recommended to stay away from “red gas” or R-12 liquid propellants which
both violate US EPA regulations when used as an aerosol. Stick to <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Gas_CO2_Guns_s/2.htm">“green gas” guns</a> or propane adapters to be safe. </div>

<li>People love the blowback feature on the airsoft gas pistols, which automatically puts the next shot in place for you for the most
realistic performance</li>
<li>Favorite for airsoft gun collectors</li>
<li>Also favored when you need adjustable velocity capabilities

<li>One of the most versatile and realistic looking options</li>
<li>Often more affordable than AEG’s but more expensive than
springs</li>
</ul>
<div class="paragraph_break">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Negatives</span></div>
<ul>
<li>Often malfunction in cold weather since the gas can freeze </li>
<li>Purchasing gas canisters can be costly</li>
<li>No unlimited power since it needs gas reloads to run</li>
<li>If gaming, you will need to carry spare gas canisters with you,
especially if using a blowback pistol</li>
<li>Many gasses are illegal due to their effects on the
environment</li>
<li>Can produce a gas cloud which could give away your location
if you need to stay hidden</li>
<li>When using propane you need an adapter</li>
</ul>

Although all the airsoft guns are fun, some are preferable
depending on your conditions and constrains. Hopefully this list gave you some
guidance and which is best for your needs.<br />

<br />
While every airsoft game has different rules, there are some universal rules that apply when you pick up an airsoft gun. Here is your easy to follow guide on how to keep it legal, fun, and safe.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Keep it Legal:</b>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Check if it is legal to host an airsoft skirmish on the property prior to doing so. This is more than simply gaining the property owner’s permission (though this is critical)... it also means you should contact your local police unit and check local statutes.</li>
<li>Laws vary from region to region, but many dictate a firepower limit for safety reasons (i.e. they don’t want BBs to break the skin or kill anyone.) This is usually around 300-450 FPS depending on the venue. Always safest to check this out prior to playing. Your local airsoft facility will also have this information.</li>
<li>Never carry your airsoft weapon in public. Always transport your <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Masks_Goggles_Protective_Gear_s/61.htm">airsoft gun and equipment</a> in a proper carrying case.</li>
<li>Never remove your airsoft orange safety tip.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>Don’t be a Nuisance:</b>
<br />
<ul>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg110_FV9Z5aDzVC95J_cpOEMm3P49gPEHXKmrPRz5JQxkDQezD_ND_phv7Q60WrDEPuqtl6v4BoQsjk5fXzuSlSmE7hlEee_ZFiRq5WlGPdN9pXN4MqeJUdF874EmBBIE6FG-qlcZUbfTt/s1600/airsoft+soldiers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg110_FV9Z5aDzVC95J_cpOEMm3P49gPEHXKmrPRz5JQxkDQezD_ND_phv7Q60WrDEPuqtl6v4BoQsjk5fXzuSlSmE7hlEee_ZFiRq5WlGPdN9pXN4MqeJUdF874EmBBIE6FG-qlcZUbfTt/s320/airsoft+soldiers.jpg" width="214" /></a>
<li>Call your hits. Many airsofters carry a red bandana and use it as a signal that they have been hit. It’s quick, easy and visual. It can also be used when leaving or reentering game play. For the record, there is nothing worse than an airsofter who refuses to recognize a hit. Trust us, after a few disputes, everyone will know who you are and they won’t want you to participate in future events.</li>
<li>If you suspect someone is not calling their hits, keep firing at them until it is crazy indisputable that they have been hit. This is a more effective tactic than making a big scene on the field. Of course, you can always bring it up after the game… simply say, “You need to call your hits. I hit you maybe 10 times before you called it.” They may dispute your claim to save face, but it will put the offender on notice and they will be more likely to change that behavior in the future, even if just to prove you wrong.</li>
<li>Dead men don’t talk. If you’ve been hit, you must stop relaying information to your team members. No signals, no code. You are essentially dead.</li>
<li>Don’t deliberately try to hurt/annoying people. Shooting someone in the face on purpose is lame… and can be dangerous.</li>
<li>Keep a level head. Airsoft is an adrenalin rush, for sure, but you shouldn’t get so amped that you try to fight other players. Remain cool and collected; that is the sign of a well-trained soldier, after all.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>Just Generally Good Ideas:</b>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Wear protective <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Masks_Goggles_Protective_Gear_s/61.htm">airsoft eye goggles</a> at all times. This is not negotiable.</li>
<li>Establish a clear set of game rules before starting at the get-go. It will make for a much better skirmish.</li>
<li>Be respectful of other player's equipment.</li>
<li>Be cool to new players. Some long-time airsofters think its their right to haze the new guy. It's not... and it makes you look like a jerk. Offer tips and assistance without being condescending. After all, you were once a noob.</li>
<li>If you’re playing with younger airsofters, watch your mouth.</li>
<li>If you are playing with strangers, it’s a good idea to avoid touching people you don’t know, unless you are dragging an injured man off the field or something like that. That means avoiding things like “knife kills” and hand to hand combat. That guy could be psycho or get angry and want to fight. Long story short: these sorts of engagements rarely end well.</li>
</ul>

Between all the gun upgrade options and the technical jargon, it can be overwhelming. Here are a few tips for those new airsofters wondering where to start.</p>
<p><strong>Do some preliminary research.</strong> Take an hour or two to read up the types of airsoft guns available. Brush up on the differences between AEGs, <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Gas_CO2_Guns_s/2.htm">CO2 gas guns</a>, and <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Spring_Guns_s/3.htm">spring powered airsoft weapons</a>. Read a bit on airsoft BB quality, as one of the most costly rookie errors is buying cheap BBs. The Airsoft Megastore offers an easy-to-browse <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/kb_results.asp">airsoft player resource wiki</a> on all of these topics and more.</p>
<p><strong>Make a budget.</strong> We recommend deciding what you are willing to spend early on. You will need to budget for a primary weapon, a side arm, safety goggles, and <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_BBs_and_Ammunition_s/4.htm">seamless airsoft bbs</a>. While not required, a tactical vest is also a good investment. The good news is – thanks to innovations in manufacturing - airsoft has become very affordable in the past few years. You can now easily obtain a quality primary firearm for as little as $50, a pistol for less than $40, and safety goggles for between $10 and $30.<br />
<strong>WARNING:</strong> Do not skimp on BBs as those can literally make or break your weapon.</p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWaNjCK_9vYq4bUfKLN9CGHcDLEFvWRQX4KJCFGv3KZxkvfGALFS4xr385TXExvT5Kq_wp4inJIMFNJnm65nC6x9g6_Y1HBLr42eOAOURcboUkNnLAkCkziLYrIyn2Hkdg3NvmP5e6gPPL/s1600/airsoft+honor.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="133" width="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWaNjCK_9vYq4bUfKLN9CGHcDLEFvWRQX4KJCFGv3KZxkvfGALFS4xr385TXExvT5Kq_wp4inJIMFNJnm65nC6x9g6_Y1HBLr42eOAOURcboUkNnLAkCkziLYrIyn2Hkdg3NvmP5e6gPPL/s200/airsoft+honor.JPG" /></a><p><strong>Read ALL airsoft documentation.</strong> Every <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com">airsoft gun</a> is different. We urge you to read the entire documentation included by the manufacturer. These are unique and complex machines, so instructions will vary depending on the weapon’s specifics. Pay special attention to things like maintenance, battery specs, and loading instructions. Failure to comply with manufacturer recommendations will very likely damage your gun and void your warranty.</p>
<p><strong>Network with other Airsofters.</strong> A lot of learning comes through experience, but some of your best resources are going to be fellow airsoft enthusiasts. Airsoft Megastore recommends visiting your local airsoft facility and talking with the staff and players there. If there are no facilities nearby, check out the online forums. Experienced players are often eager to help and share their expertise. Be sure to check out the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/airsoftmegastore">Airsoft Megastore Facebook Fan page</a> which will link you to a huge airsoft community and keep you updated on the latest airsoft news and reviews.</p>
<p><strong>Build your skill-set.</strong> The best airsofters understand the importance of practice and strategy. A combination of military tactical research and target practice will make you a force to be reckoned with on the field.</p>
<p><strong>Be patient and have fun!</strong> Unless you are already a firearm expert, it will take time to develop your airsoft expertise. In the meantime, enjoy airsoft. Between the physical challenge, camaraderie and sheer adrenaline, you will pick up so much on the field and that’s really the point.</p>

<br />
<p><b>What are pump action shotguns? </b><br />
Pump action shotguns are different than semi-automatic shotguns or lever-action shotguns in the way that the gun removes used shells and reinserts new ones. The pump resides below the barrel, and is a sliding for-end that, when cocked, moves the bb shells from the magazine into the cartridge. The trigger can then be pulled to eject the <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_BBs_and_Ammunition_s/4.htm">airsoft bbs</a>.</p>
<p><b>Other aliases?</b><br />
These awesome airsoft guns are also known as slide action shotguns, slide action repeating shotguns<br />
<br />
<b>What are the pros to using a pump action shotgun? </b><br />
a. Powerful – can shoot up to 450 feet per second<br />
b. More flexibility of <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_BBs_and_Ammunition_s/4.htm">airsoft ammo</a><br />
c. More reliable<br />
d. Great price point<br />
e. Realistic<br />
<br />
Beyond providing excellent power at a better price point, many airsoft aficionados enjoy shooting with a <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Shotguns_s/63.htm">pump airsoft shotgun</a> because of the realistic militia feel to the gun. No energy is lost when loading the ammo into the cartridges, unlike semi-automatic guns, which means better power. The reliability is enhanced with these slide action airsoft guns as they withstand harsh climate and environmental factors better than other guns. Pump action shotguns are the most common guns employed by the military and in hunting, which make them a favorite for airsoft players engaged in mil-sim or tactical battles.</p>
<p><b>What are the cons to using a pump action shotgun?</b><br />
Can be slower
b. Pump required for each shot
Despite excellent power and flexibility, the need to actively pump to power the airsoft shotgun is the main disadvantage to the machine. In a high paced and intense airsoft battle, having a <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Spring_Guns_s/27.htm">semi-automatic airsoft pistol</a> or completely automatic AEGs allow you to shoot more ammo quicker and easier which can be a huge advantage.</p>
<p><b>What are the best airsoft shotguns around?
</b><br />
It depends on who you ask, but the <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/M3_MultiShot_Triple_Burst_Airsoft_Tactical_Shotgun_p/de-m56b.htm">DE M3 Multi-Shot Triple Burst Airsoft Tactical Shotgun - Sawed Off Terminator</a> is one of our most popular models. It features 3 barrels for maximum power - 3 BBs launch at 330+ FPS for every pump. It is certainly one of the most versatile and effective airsoft shotguns you can purchase for under $150.<br />
<br />
The 390 FPS AGM Airsoft <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/AGM_M500_Airsoft_Tactical_Shotgun_Shell_Fed_p/ga-m183-a3.htm">M500 Tactical Full Stock Pump Action Spring Shotgun</a> is another popular choice among airsoft aficionados. This shotgun features an integrated adjustable Hop-Up system and a reinforced barrel making it a truly efficiant weapon in both close quarter and long-range skirmishes.<br />
<br />
Last but not least, the <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Tactical_M581_SWAT_Pistol_Grip_Spring_Shotgun_w_A_p/bi-0581a.htm">Tactical M581 SWAT "Sawed Off" Pistol Grip Spring Shotgun</a> is a monster gun for the price. It features a "Sawed Off" Stock version of the SWAT shotgun for tactical purposes and CQB maneuverability and it's one of the best value for a great price.</p>
<p><b>What positions are best served by airsoft shotguns?</b><br />
Any position in airsoft battle that demands power and needs the capacity to hit multiple targets should look to an airsoft shotgun as their tool for play. Because the shotguns are held and fired from the shoulder, the accuracy and scope is improved – this is why shotguns are the preferred gun for hunting and the militia. If you’re worried about the ease-of-use of the airsoft shotguns, look to the sawn-off airsoft shotguns; these have a shortened barrel, which increases mobility significantly.</p>

If you are new to airsoft, it may not be clear how an airsoft gas guns may be a better or worse fit than spring or electric options. This article will help clear things up. </p>
<p>First, ask yourself “what can I spend?” If you have a limited funds (say less than $50), a gas gun is probably not your best bet. You would be better off looking at inexpensive spring guns which – no doubt - will make less of a dent on your wallet. You can find a decent spring gun for as low as $15. If you are ok with spending anywhere from $50 to $250 for your <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com">airsoft weapon</a>, then the gas gun option is still on the table. Gas airsoft guns will start around $50 and can go over $200 for a <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Gas_Rifles_s/24.htm">gas powered airsoft rifle</a> and even as high as $400 for some of the more high quality options. This is obviously more than a spring gun, but also less than an <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Electric_AEGs_s/1.htm">electric airsoft gun or AEG</a> which start closer to $100 mark, making gas guns a nice mid-priced option.</p>
<p>If gas guns are within your budget, next consider these benefits and drawbacks:</p>
<p><strong>Gas guns are powerful, providing superior accuracy and range.</strong> Of the three power types – electric, gas and spring - gas offers the highest velocity and range, making it a favorite on the airsoft field. This makes gas powered guns especially great for target practice and sniping roles.</p>
<p><strong>Gas pistols have the most realistic look and feel.</strong> One of the coolest benefits to gas guns is their authentic look and feel, especially when it comes to pistols. Hand guns tend to be too small to accommodate electric motor components required for an AEG. Likewise, spring guns are single fire, meaning spring guns cannot support automatic fire.
Gas guns provide a very authentic experience. Not only do gas guns come in metal varieties, providing the right weight and feel, but they deliver “blowback.” This means that after a shot is fired, the gas forces the slide back to load the next <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_BBs_and_Ammunition_s/4.htm">airsoft BB</a> providing a kick-back sensation similar to recoil. These features make gas gun feel very much like a real firearm. They are probably the most authentic feeling of these three power varieties.</p>
<p><strong>Gas guns can support semi and full automatic fire.</strong> If you require rapid automatic fire, AEGs or gas guns are your only options. Spring powered guns are not able to provide this.</p>
<p><strong>You will need to carry replacement cartridges when participating in skirmishes.</strong> When set to semi or fully automatic, gas guns can be – well – gas guzzlers. The blowback feature, while authentic, will go through more gas and you will need to carry replacement canisters on the field. This can become bulky, inconvenient, and the cost eventually adds up. This tips the scales in electric guns’ favor when it comes to airsoft skirmishes unless you plan to be a sniper.</p>

The sniping role is one that is easily compromised, so preparedness is vital to keeping under the opponents’ radar. When selecting gear, you should always consider the convenience of using the gear and, more importantly, the noise factor. Does the gear require you to make excessive movement to access it? Does it reflect light? While direct sunshine end up broadcasting your position like a mirror? Does the gear make noise or utilize materials that rattles or rustles. Noisy gear is a rooky mistake that will undoubtedly compromise your position. </p>
<p>Before you head out, consider the terrain you will be traversing, the weather, and carefully consider what you might encounter on the field. Do not overload with gear that you have little foreseen use for. Carefully decide what will serve a purpose on the field and make you a better sniper. The gear that you decide is important should be secured tight against your body with straps or duct tape. </p>
<p>The following is a summary of gear a sniper should consider when preparing for battle.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Dress the Part</strong> – Check weather forecasts and make sure that you dress appropriately. It is best to wear fitted clothes that won’t snag on plants or terrain. Pockets are always a good feature.</li>
<li><strong>Tactical Holster or <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Tactical_Gear_Vests_s/29.htm">Tactical Vest</a></strong> – Pockets galore and a place for everything, the tactical holster or vest is your best friend when you need something. </li>
<li><strong>Ghillie Suit</strong> – Depending on the terrain a ghillie suit may help conceal your location.</li>
<li><strong>Your Primary Weapon and Side Arm</strong> – Obviously you will need your <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_High_Powered_Sniper_Rifles_s/28.htm">airsoft sniper rifle</a>, but you should also bring a side arm in case you must engage in hand-to-hand combat.</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_BBs_and_Ammunition_s/4.htm">Airsoft Ammo</a></strong> – Keep 2 or 3 spare mags on hand to take you through the day. </li>
<li><strong>Safety Goggles or Glasses</strong> – This is a given whenever you participate in airsoft.</li>
<li><strong>Camel Back or Canteen</strong> – I favor camel backs because they minimize the amount of movement required to hydrate – wear it under your ghillie suit - but if you prefer a canteen, secure it tightly against your body.</li>
<li><strong>Provisions</strong> –Many airsofters don’t realize it, but milsim skirmishes are a serious workout, even for snipers. You must carry heavy equipment, making slow calculated movements that keep muscles flexed for prolonged periods of time. It can be exhausting and chances are you will get hungry. Keeping your blood sugar stable will also help your steadiness, shot accuracy, and critical decision making.</li>
<li><strong>Knife or Scissors</strong> – You never know when you will need to cut tape, branches or whatever gets in your way.</li>
<li><strong>Hand Radio</strong> – If you are not in an environment where hand signals will suffice, a radio will keep your team strategically aligned.</li>

From manual spring loaded pistols to fully automatic, <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_High_Powered_Sniper_Rifles_s/28.htm">full metal sniper rifles</a>, there is an amazing array of gun choices out there… and for new airsoft players, all that choice can be a bit overwhelming and confusing.</p><p>Simply put, airsoft guns fall into four categories: spring, gas / cO2, electric and hybrid. This article deals with the most common type of airsoft gun – electric battery powered airsoft guns.</p><p><strong>So what is an AEG?</strong><br />AEG stands for Airsoft Electric Gun. They were first developed in Japan by Tokyo Mauri, but are now produced by nearly every major airsoft gun manufacturer. AEGs used to be quite expensive, but recent manufacturing innovations have resulted in a wide range of price points. An <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Electric_AEGs_s/1.htm">electric airsoft gun</a> uses an electric motor with a rechargeable battery to power an internal piston or spring to fire <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_BBs_and_Ammunition_s/4.htm">airsoft BBs</a>. They feature both automatic or semi-automatic capabilities and fire anywhere between 100 and 1500 rounds per minute. In fact, all AEGs have selective fire modes, so you can go from fully automatic to semi automatic firing with the simple flip of a switch.</p><br /><p>These style of airsoft firearm are the most common weapon of choice for airsofters, largely because of their power, performance and realistic look and feel. <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Electric_AEGs_s/1.htm">Airsoft AEGs</a> fire at velocities between 150 and 650 FPS (feet per second), making them the <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Electric_AEGs_s/1.htm">most powerful airsoft guns</a> on the field. They are also highly customizable with a variety of upgrades and accessories, making them highly attractive to active airsofters looking to optimize their performance. When it comes to batteries, the general rule of thumb is the higher the mAh, the longer the battery life and the greater the voltage, the higher the Rate of Fire (RoF).</p><p><strong>Then what are EBBs?</strong><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNWktZMs3Xao1tkwQE8UMQpYMTWroxjm-e_3LFA9PT85dOzQvIaWCWtrSJiWWWu0mavwzZ5GeB_rvqTSUhsmWqk4IeGfsqXY_RfmmlB8DdkGcm9mA642fYmpgiF4qhImwxYuVb2mi5OPCi/s1600/airsoft+aegs.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 132px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNWktZMs3Xao1tkwQE8UMQpYMTWroxjm-e_3LFA9PT85dOzQvIaWCWtrSJiWWWu0mavwzZ5GeB_rvqTSUhsmWqk4IeGfsqXY_RfmmlB8DdkGcm9mA642fYmpgiF4qhImwxYuVb2mi5OPCi/s200/airsoft+aegs.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729423006070906674" border="0" /></a><br />EBB is short for electric blowback airsoft gun, or electric blowbacks. These are high end AEGs – typically rifles – that utilize a rechargeable 9.6 volt battery. These pieces have a very authentic blowback but less of a kick. In general , they are fun guns to operate, but battery life can deplete quickly and the blowback itself can wear on internals which can lead to a shorter gearbox lifespan.</p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNWktZMs3Xao1tkwQE8UMQpYMTWroxjm-e_3LFA9PT85dOzQvIaWCWtrSJiWWWu0mavwzZ5GeB_rvqTSUhsmWqk4IeGfsqXY_RfmmlB8DdkGcm9mA642fYmpgiF4qhImwxYuVb2mi5OPCi/s1600/airsoft+aegs.jpg"></a><p><strong>And what is an AEP?</strong><br />AEP is short for Automatic Electric Pistols, which are electric powered, fully automatic pistols. If you plan on participating in outdoor skirmishes in cold weather, you should consider investing in an AEP as your cold weather sidearm. C02 and gas powered guns require heat to fire, while AEP’s work in colder temperatures. The majority of AEPs are constructed almost entirely of plastic, making them less realistic in feel than other, metal based pistols.</p><p>Still have questions about AEGs?

An effective sniper is highly valued because they not only actively eliminate opponents, but they also act as a communication hub for the team.</p> <br /><p>If you are interested in transitioning into the sniper role in upcoming skirmishes, here are a few tips to help you succeed on the battlefield.</p><br /><p><strong>Be stealthy.</strong><br><br />Cunning is one of the most important qualities a sniper can have… maybe even more valuable than shot accuracy. Stealth alone can make a sniper a success. A stealthy sniper understands how to position themselves so that they can observe the field without being seen and how to keep their movements slight. They are adept to traversing the environment undetected – be it wooded or field. They also understand how to retreat from a compromised position efficiently, in near silence.</p><br /><p><strong>Be disciplined & patient.</strong><br><br />As a sniper, you risk discovery whenever you take a shot. For this reason, you must ensure that the shot you are taking is worth the risk. Is the target within range? Is it attainable at your skill level? If you are fairly confident the odds are against you, it is better to lay low and remain undetected. In fact, many real-life snipers stalk a target for days before making a kill shot. Patience and discipline are key… and only shoot when the target is attainable and worth the risk.</p><br /><p><strong>Be decisive.</strong><br><br />Ironically, even though patience and discipline are paramount to sniping success, you are also required to take decisive action when the time is right. The opportunity to take your kill shot may only last a few seconds, so you must calmly take action… line up the shot, and pull the trigger. </p><br /><p><strong>Be a partner.</strong><br><br />In many cases, having a spotter or second shooter will help keep you alert at all moments and will increase the likelihood of a decisive kill. It is difficult to use binoculars or <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Scopes_Rifle_Scopes_Airsoft_Rifle_Optics_s/206.htm">airsoft rifle scopes or optics</a> for more than 20 minutes at a time and having a skilled partner will allow you to break up the task and increase efficiencies. </p><br /><p><strong>Be chill.</strong><br><br />The sniper role is not a good fit for people with hot tempers. If you are quick to anger, it is likely you will make irrational or careless choices. Anger elevates the pulse, quickening the heartbeat, and resulting in fight or flight behavior. This is the exact opposite of what makes a good sniper. A good sniper is level headed, patient, calm and able to make rational choices – even under stress. </p><br /><p><strong>Be your sniper rifle.</strong><br><br />Ideally a sniper’s rifle is second nature, but this will take time and practice. Use your <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_High_Powered_Sniper_Rifles_s/28.htm">airsoft sniper rifle</a> as much as possible. Get an in-depth understanding of the rifle’s dimensions, capabilities and limitations. Target practice is critical. Practice firing low on the ground and in hiding. Work on long distance accuracy and maneuvering your rifle in silence.</p><br /><p>A successful sniper needs to be stealthy, even tempered, patient, disciplined, decisive and accurate. Taking accurate shots, maneuvering stealthily and partnering with a skilled spotter or fellow sniper will help set the stage for success as an airsoft sniper.</p><br /><p><strong>About the Author:</strong> Mike Zhang is the VP of Operations of Airsoft Megastore, an airsoft retailer offering electric and <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Gas_CO2_Guns_s/2.htm">green gas & CO2 powered airsoft guns</a>.

Like any firearm-related hobby, there are certain risks you take when participating in airsoft, but you can easily mitigate these risks with the right equipment and behavior. If you are new to airsoft, it is important you take the appropriate measures to ensure your safety and the safety of those around you. If you are an experienced airsofter, it never hurts to brush up on the best practices.</p> <br /><strong>Airsoft Safety Gear </strong><br> <br />The right gear will reduce the sting you feel when hit and decrease the likelihood of serious injury. Here is a quick check list of the most effective <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Masks_Goggles_Protective_Gear_s/61.htm">airsoft safety gear</a>:<br /><ul><br /><li><strong>Safety Goggles are Critical.</strong> If you enjoy being able to see, invest in a solid pair of shatter-proof safety goggles. Don't remove the goggles when you are on the playing field or out the firing range. If for any reason you lose your goggles on the field or spy someone who is unprotected, shout out “blind man” so that others know to stop firing.</li><br /><li><strong>Cover Up Exposed Skin.</strong> Full-coverage clothes like long-sleeve shirts and pants will take the sting out of hits and reduce the degree of welting you experience. Though not required, a <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/NcStar_Tactical_6_Pocket_AK_Chest_Rig_ACU_p/ncs-cvakcr2921d.htm">tactical airsoft vest</a> will add a layer of protection to the chest. (It also makes carrying secondary hand guns, magazines and other supplies much more convenient.) We also recommend donning a protective face mask when playing competitively. This will not only shield the face, but it can prevent painful broken teeth. If you take an <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_BBs_and_Ammunition_s/4.htm">airsoft BB</a> traveling at 450 FPS in the teeth, you will probably end up looking like jack-o-lantern.</li> <br /><li><strong>Get a Brain Bucket.</strong> If you plan on playing competitively, we strongly recommend investing in a hard helmet for the field. A helmet prevents direct hits to the head during play, which as any experienced airsoft players can tell you, hurts like hell. </li><br /></ul><br /><br /><strong>Handling Your Airsoft Gun</strong><br><br />When handling your piece, use common sense and always assume the piece is loaded. Here are a few more helpful recommendations to keep in mind when handling your airsoft weapon:<br /><ul><br /><li><strong>Know Your Weapon.</strong> Thoroughly read your weapon’s owner manuals with special attention to safety guidelines specific to your piece.</li><br /><li><strong>Point Away.</strong> When off the field, always points it away from people.</li> <br /><li><strong>Don’t Mess with the Trigger.</strong> Do not touch or jiggle the trigger unless you explicitly intend to shoot the gun.</li><br /><li><strong>Clear Your Weapon.</strong> When your gun is not in use, remove your magazine, clear your weapon and switch your gun to safety.</li><br /><li><strong>Put it Up.</strong> Be sure to keep all Airsoft guns and/or equipment out of children's reach, even when unloaded.</li><br /></ul><br /><br /><strong>The Biggest Safety Issue of All - Taking Your Gun Public</strong><br><br />Every so often I come across an airsoft news story that makes me cringe. Usually these stories revolve around someone brandishing an airsoft gun in public for “fun”, shock value or even to commit a crime. Doing this is insanely irresponsible and stupid. Airsoft guns are hyper realistic and nearly indistinguishable from their real-life counterparts. If you wield a hyper realistic firearm in public, you frighten bystanders and may even get shot by law enforcement. With this in mind, the following guidelines will help keep you safe – and alive:<br /><ul><br /><li><strong>Assume Real Gun Behavior.</strong> Always be aware that the vast majority of bystanders do not know you are carrying an airsoft gun – they will assume it is the real deal. Do not brandish your Airsoft gun in public – it’s illegal to do so in most places and you may cause a panic or get yourself shot by a real firearm.</li><br /><li><strong>Keep the Tip.</strong> Do not remove the orange tip on the gun… again, it’s illegal and can increase confusion.</li><br /><li><strong>Bag It.</strong> Always transport your gun in a case. </li><br /></ul><br /><strong>About the Author:</strong> Mike Zhang is the President and COO of Airsoft Megastore, the #1 fastest growing Airsoft retailer in the U.S. Airsoft Megastore offers a full selection of gas and <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Electric_AEGs_s/1.htm">electric Airsoft guns (Airsoft AEGs)</a> including airsoft sniper rifles and <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Shotguns_s/63.htm">spring airsoft shotguns</a>.</p>Airsoft Megastorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02111326676581206726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6658236417283648550.post-56056980750964686922012-02-28T10:22:00.004-08:002012-02-28T10:35:22.867-08:00The Who’s Who of Precision Airsoft BBs<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBP0ZqUAdpWGBI8TXyNKpfHnDGY66pYnh5x3cE11_Yygk4WuxZtdcxl_nS1-O-Ec6grWC_8ZW94IaLyriDeKXnOgmftYwCla9tGJaTfCAP6oj0oiBSZpDJEGH4dsKHQrj0DyfHiDSpUcIp/s1600/goldenball+bbs.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBP0ZqUAdpWGBI8TXyNKpfHnDGY66pYnh5x3cE11_Yygk4WuxZtdcxl_nS1-O-Ec6grWC_8ZW94IaLyriDeKXnOgmftYwCla9tGJaTfCAP6oj0oiBSZpDJEGH4dsKHQrj0DyfHiDSpUcIp/s200/goldenball+bbs.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5714256062659328818" /></a><br /><p>Experienced airsofters know that the right BB makes all the difference in the world and they look for seamless, perfectly spherical BBs that will not shatter upon launch. Not only will these BBs improve your accuracy and overall performance, but they keep your gun’s internals debris free. </p><br /><p> The same cannot be said for cheap-o BBs. Cheap BBs, like those you fine at Walmart and sporting goods stores, cause irreparable damage to a gun’s gearbox, stripping the pistons and clogging the internals with BB shrapnel. The result is jamming and, ultimately, a broken gun. Many crappy BBs claim to be seamless, but don’t be fooled. These BBs have seams – they have simply been polished away. The seam still exists within the BB body. The result is inconsistencies in shape and structural vulnerability, both of which greatly increase the likelihood of shattering.</p> <br /><p>If you haven’t watched yet, I recommend checking out Vince’s video where he takes a hammer to some of these craptastic BBs. They shatter to pieces… while a <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_BBs_and_Ammunition_s/4.htm">high quality airsoft BB</a> simply flattens out. </p><br /><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_Xh4hzmc_68" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><p>At Airsoft Megastore, we only carry the best BBs because we understand the vital role BB quality plays in the longevity of an <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/default.asp">airsoft gun</a>. There are 5 big names in the <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_BBs_and_Ammunition_s/4.htm">quality airsoft BB</a> arena: GoldenBall, Elite Force, G&G, King Arms, and TSD. </p> <br /><p><strong>GoldenBall</strong><br><br />The entire Airsoft Megastore team is pretty much obsessed with <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/GoldenBall_Airsoft_6mm_BBs_s/257.htm">Goldenball Proslick BBs</a>. These are the best of the best when it comes to airsoft BBs. GoldenBall manufactures top-of-the-line, ultra-seamless, competition-grade airsoft 6mm BBs. Compared to the average BB out on the market, these pellets sport a 40% improvement in density and spherical consistency. The result is an average FPS gain of 8-15 FPS on a standard metal gearbox AEG. You get all the power and none of the annoying jamming. Trust me when I say, try these once and you’ll be hooked.</p><br /><p><strong>Elite Force </strong><br><br /><a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Elite_Force_Airsoft_6mm_BBs_s/258.htm">Elite Force BBs</a> are superior airsoft BBs packaged in a unique and insanely convenient water-bottle-style container with screw top. These are probably the easiest BBs to store, carry and load, making them a real advantage on the field. Elite Force BBs have been quality tested in a variety of mid and hi-cap magazines to prevent against misfires and jamming. This and the consistency of the BB shape and size make these extremely competitive precision BBs.</p><br /><p><strong>G&G </strong><br><br />G&G is probably best known for their high grade full metal gearbox AEGs, but they manufacturer some pretty impressive airsoft BBs as well. Airsoft Megastore can say with confidence that these are some of the most reliable precision grade airsoft BB's currently available. G&G PSBP (Perfect Spherical Ball Pellet) BBs are flawless, uniform in both weight and size, seamless, non-toxic BBs. Load these up, and you’ll experience greater accuracy and shot consistency. No jamming, magazine fail, or mucked up internals. Just clear, long shots with greater consistency and power. Airsoft Megastore has a distribution deal that allows us to carrying these killer BBs, at the lowest price you’ll find online. </p><br /><p><strong>King Arms</strong><br><br />King Arms recently launch their all-new Platinum-Series of high precision competition-grade Airsoft 6mm, and we are here to confirm, these are simply the best airsoft BBs to come out of Taiwan to date. If you are looking for a high grade airsoft BB at an affordable price, look no further. King Arms’ ultra-high quality, sniper grade BBs will give your airsoft game an edge and make you rethink what it costs to stock a high value airsoft BB.</p><br /><p><strong>TSD</strong><br><br />TSD BBs are another highly respected, high-value, precision airsoft BB line. With <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/TSD_Airsoft_6mm_BBs_s/261.htm">biodegradable airsoft BB options</a>, they also make sense for the more eco-conscious airsofters out there. These slick, competition-grade BBs reduce barrel jam and gear stripping. Buy in bulk for extra savings; TSD tactical BBs come in packages of up to 15,000 rounds.</p><br /><p><strong>About the Author:</strong> Mike Zhang is the VP of Operations of Airsoft Megastore, an online airsoft retailer offering electric and <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Gas_CO2_Guns_s/2.htm">gas powered airsoft guns</a>.

If you are not familiar with the Shot Show, it is the world’s largest shooting sports, hunting and law enforcement convention. The Shot Show showcases the industry, including the latest developments in firearms, ammunition and <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_BBs_and_Ammunition_s/4.htm">airsoft BBs</a>, law enforcement, cutlery, outdoor apparel, optics and other related products and services. The Shot Show is open to industry insiders only, so needless-to-say Airsoft Megastore was stoked to be given full access to entire event and permitted to film and share our experiences.</p><br /><p>David and Vince arrived at the Shot Show on January 17th and started a <a href="http://airsoftmegastoretv.com/2012/01/sho-show-2012-round-up/">comprehensive video tour</a> for all the airsoft related booths. They learned about upcoming airsoft trends and collected awesome swag for some lucky Airsoft Megastore Facebook fans.</p><br /><p>Highlights of the Airsoft Megastore Shot Show 2012 tour include:<br><br /><ul><br /><li>The NcSTAR table showed us their newest Evo Scopes, lasers, and soft goods for better maneuverability on the airsoft field. After viewing the latest from NcSTAR, Vince and David can attest that their 2012 gear is consistent with what you’d expect from NcSTAR; reasonably priced, quality optics with innovative design.</li><br /><li>Airsoft Megastore also had a chance to meet with ActionSportsGames or ASG, and view their upcoming line of hardcore airsoft firearms. A relative newcomer to the US Airsoft industry, ASG has more than 15 years of solid airsoft distribution experience in Europe, with especially strong presence in France, Poland, Scandinavia and the UK. ASG focuses on the high end airsoft market and Airsoft Megastore is looking forward to see what they bring to the fray!</li><br /><li>Airsoft Megastore also interviewed Sean at Spartan Imports – an Airsoft Megastore partner. Sean showed us some not-yet-released airsoft AEGs, including SR series and Magpul <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_High_Powered_Sniper_Rifles_s/28.htm">airsoft sniper rifles</a>, some killer <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Gas_CO2_Guns_s/2.htm">airsoft gas guns</a> and also some insane new gas grenades.</li><br /><li>Cliff at Umarex told us a bit about Elite Force, including their warranty and service program. Umarex focuses on high end and competitive airsoft scene and they have a lot of cool new products including <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_BBs_and_Ammunition_s/4.htm">high quality airsoft gun bbs</a>.</li><br /><li>Jim at KWA showed us around some rad <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Megastore_New_Arrivals_s/52.htm">new airsoft pistols</a>. We were super excited to check out the ERG – electric recoil gun – exclusively licensed to Magpul. This exciting new series comes in three types: PTS CQB, PTS Scout mid-length, and PTS SPR long-rifle… and they are looking to launch in summer 2012.</li><br /><li>And now for something completely different... we got the opportunity to play with new (and always entertaining) Zombie guns from Double Star – featuring crazy add-ons like holographic sites, tactical bottle opener and chainsaw, for added zombie carnage. Mike barely escaped with his limbs intact.</li><br /></ul><br /><p>Check out the Shot Show Round Up at <a href="http://airsoftmegastoretv.com/">Airsoft Megastore TV</a> to learn more about all the <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Megastore_New_Arrivals_s/52.htm">latest airsoft guns for 2012</a>.</p><br /><p><strong>About the Author:</strong> Mike Zhang is the President and COO of Airsoft Megastore, an online airsoft store offering electric and gas powered airsoft guns, as well as <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_BBs_and_Ammunition_s/4.htm">premiere airsoft gun bbs</a>, upgrades and accessories.

The Airsoft Megastore team recently launched this mini fan film after 3 (awesome) weeks of filming, editing and – to be totally honest – having a blast with a variety of <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Electric_AEGs_s/1.htm">airsoft AEGs</a> in a killer milsim environment. The result is a worthy tribute to the Battlefield game and the sport of airsoft.</p><br /><p>Battlefield is hands down the staff favorite video game at Airsoft Megastore, and we wanted to elevate the video game experience to something truer to life… something more realistic. After all, that’s what airsoft is all about – authenticity and realism.

Unfortunately, crappy BB aftermath is still one of the largest technical issues we encounter here at Airsoft Megastore. Many airsofters purchase lower grade BB’s at their local sporting goods store, only to quickly discover that their AEG no longer fires. Many wrongly attribute the problem to a defective gun, when in truth the crappy BB’s have shattered and lodged into their guns gears and internals.</p> <br /><p>Putting crappy BB’s in your airsoft gun can - and probably will - ruin many of your guns internal components and void out your warranty. It goes without saying, but if you invest in a <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_Electric_AEGs_s/1.htm">quality airsoft AEG</a>, you should also invest in <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_BBs_and_Ammunition_s/4.htm">quality airsoft BBs</a> to protect your firearm for the long haul. Likewise, if you are buying an <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/default.asp">airsoft gun</a> as a present, be sure to also purchase the right type of BB’s so that the recipient can use the firearm right away, without disappointment.</p><br /><p><strong>So What Makes a Good Quality Airsoft BB?</strong><br> <br />Simply put, a good quality <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_BBs_and_Ammunition_s/4.htm">airsoft pellet</a> is perfectly spherical and seamless. A perfectly spherical <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_BBs_and_Ammunition_s/4.htm">airsoft BB</a> will give you an edge on the field with greater accuracy and better range. Likewise, the BB should not be manufactured with a seam as a seam creates stress points which encourage the BB to shatter upon firing. Not only does this affect your velocity and FPS, but it will jam up your internals. Many lower grade BBs – especially the ones you find at sporting goods stores - claim to be “seamless” when in fact, they are manufactured with a seam and then polished down. The polishing may disguise the seam’s appearance, but the composition of the BB is still compromised. The stress points around the seam will lead to shattered BB parts that will infect your gearbox. For this reason, you cannot trust BB can labels… but rather do your research and only use BB brands that are widely respected and proven to be high quality.</p><br /><p>For an awesome demo of how crap BB’s shatter, check out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_Xh4hzmc_68">Vince’s BB video</a>. While the shady “seamless BBs” easily break upon under the hammer, the <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_BBs_and_Ammunition_s/4.htm">high quality Golden Ball BBs</a> stay intact. You can imagine what those shattered crappy BB’s would do to the sophisticated internal parts of your best AEG! Also, be sure to check out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=W4k3ex_2MeM">Vince and David's video</a> where they load up a beautiful, full-metal JG AK47 S with crappy sporting good store BBs. After breaking the magazine completely, forcing Dave to scavenge a replacement, the shattered BB’s do exactly what you’d expect... jam up the gun completely.</p> <br /><p>To learn more about selecting quality BB’s for your <a href="https://www.airsoftmegastore.com/">airsoft guns</a>, check out the <a href="https://www.airsoftmegastore.com/kb_results.asp?ID=7">Airsoft Megastore Knowledge Base BB Guide</a>.</p><br /></p><strong>About the Author:</strong> Mike Zhang is the President and COO of Airsoft Megastore, an online airsoft retailer offering a huge selection of affordable airsoft guns, including <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_High_Powered_Sniper_Rifles_s/28.htm">high-powered airsoft sniper rifles</a> and <a href="http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/Airsoft_BBs_and_Ammunition_s/4.htm">quality airsoft ammunition</a>.
