Airsoft pistols manual loading may be annoying to some players when having to cock the gun so often after firing it could frustrate any player especially when in the rush of capturing the flag battle. A lot of spring Airsoft pistols out in the market are made of plastic, a feature that is less realistic if you are after the real feeling of having one in your hand. Detailed look and heavy feel of a good spring Airsoft pistols can be found in a more expensive version of the gun.

Gas Airsoft pistols is also a great choice. There are two different types of gas; green gas and Co2. The one you choose will depend on the availability of the gas and also the least expensive for you to purchase.

Spring Airsoft pistols are the least expensive pistols on the market today. The player must manually pull the spring back in order to load the pistol to shoot. Even though this may seem like a hassle its really not once you learn how to do it rather quickly. Remember practice makes perfect.

Electric Airsoft pistols are considered the best shooting Airsoft pistols for many reasons. An electric Airsoft pistol can shoot at an accelerated speed compared to others. If you play in a climate that offers ever changing temperatures the electric Airsoft pistol is normally not affected by this so you are sure to hit your target every time.

Tactical vest is also important in playing the game. There are other things and paraphernalia go with Airsoft guns aside from pellets. Gas canisters for blowback guns and loaders should come in handy when needed and tactical vests are the ideal equipment for these. Water bottle and snack are within arms reach through tactical vests.

Aside from having gas pistols as side arms, it can be used virtually for anything; switching to automatic and semi-automatic functionality is a breeze, however, their magazines do not hold up that much ammo as compared to rifles, as well as its FPS. During skirmishes, Airsoft guns with higher FPS and high rate of fire possess an upper hand as compared to Airsoft guns with lower FPS, and that concludes why rifles still outshine pistols in battle. However, combining rifle as your primary gun and pistol as a side arm packs the best power there is. - 14915
