The Science of Airsoft
Airsoft, like any other sport, involves many scientific principles that go relatively unnoticed. In the heat of battle, one rarely worries about something like the transfer of kinetic energy. While knowing airsoft physics will not realistically help you in a game, the principles are good to know. Knowledge of pellet ballistics, on the other hand, can help you with your game. Pellets transfer very small amounts of kinetic... (posted by Justin 4 years 275 days ago.)

Automatic Electric Airsoft Guns Part Two
Automatic electric guns come in all shapes and sizes. While most people think of AEGs as strong and powerful, there are some AEGs that are considered weak. Cheap AEGs known as “Low Powered Electric Guns" (LPEGs) fire at low velocities and are even regarded as inferior to spring airsoft guns. The only reasons one would have to buy an LPEG is because of the price, or that they want a replica airsoft gun that... (posted by Justin 4 years 309 days ago.)

The Meaning of Life: The Reality of Life
The meaning of life is not as complicated as some make it out to be. In fact, there is no meaning to life, plain and simple. Life came about naturally, and it will die out naturally. Humans were not "put here" to do anything; we evolved into what we are today. What I am referring to now is the grand meaning of life, to which there is none. However, every single individual...

Hop Up in Airsoft
Every airsoft player should know about hop-up, and most players do. However, if you do not know, here is a simple definition. Hop-up is basically the trajectory of an airsoft pellet, and when an airsoft gun has adjustable hop-up, that means you can adjust the trajectory. Hop-up is also the theory of backspin, in which spin, usually up-spin, is placed on the pellet as it grinds along the top of the inside of the barrel. So, the...

The History of Air Guns
Air guns are not airsoft guns, as they function quite differently and are much more powerful. They are classified as pneumatic (that means using gas to do work in science and technology, thank you Wikipedia) guns, and they have many different operational styles. One must know that air guns are not new, in fact, they go back as far as the 1400s. They were favorable to alternative types of firearms because of their... (posted by Justin 5 years 3 days ago.)

How Airsoft Guns Work
Like any advanced device (anything beyond the six simple machines or the advanced machines that come from simply combining a few of the six simple ones), airsoft guns are uniquely designed and, in some instances, are quite complex. There are three types of airsoft guns; spring, electric, and gas. The types refer to the mechanism used for firing airsoft ammunition, which happen to be 6mm or...
