Home » Types of Airsoft Guns » Spring Airsoft Guns
Spring airsoft guns are excellent for rookies, who are beginning in this sport, because of their cheap cost, exceptional low failure rates, and incredibly durability. Even with the drawback of needing to manually cock prior to each shot, these spring airsoft guns are still rather popular. On the field, you might hear other players refer to these types of guns as springers and spring guns. Manufacturers have developed these guns to replicate the true size and look of real firearms. They even styled a few after famous firearms from World War II such as the VB M14 sniper rifles, M3 Grease sub machine guns, and Luger pistols/rifles. The Lugers are pistols however they have the capability to be converted into a rifle. Many airsoft players only buy spring airsoft guns as collectables and never use them on the field.
