Automatic Electric Gun (AEG). The most commonly used and most effective airsoft guns. Realistically made models of real firearms. They offer the possibility of firing single shots or auto fire mode - cadence is similar to their real arms, often even higher. The shooting used plastic balls 6 mm caliber of different weights (from 0.20 to 0.45 g) which shoot a rate of approximately 100 - 150 m/s. Weapons basic version achieve very good accuracy and range of about 45 meters. Upgraded models with stronger spring may have range about 100 meters. Electric guns are easy to user maintain.

Automatic Electric Pistol (AEP). This name is typical for compact airsoft weapons (mainly pistols), which operate on the principle of electric motor and battery. Main advantage are the low-cost operation and choice between semi and automatic fire mode. AEP reach the muzzle velocity of about 65 m/s and range of about 35 meters.

A device for giving the bullet backward rotation which straighten ballistic curve and increases the range is called Hop-Up. Weapons with adjustable Hop-Up allow continuous pressure adjusted by the user, so it is very easy and comfortable to achieve optimal Hop-Up effects and using different types of BBs (various weights and manufacturer). If you prefer a higher shooting accuracy for shorter distances, so we recommend using a higher weight BBs. If you require a higher initial muzzle velocity or want to shoot more cheaply, so choose lower weight. It should be understood that a higher initial velocity does not automatically mean a longer range. Weapons with high performance reach a longer range, using heavier of BBs.
