Airsoft Gun Types
Spring Airsoft Guns
A spring BB airsoft gun incorporates a cock and fire mechanism that is incredibly simple to operate. It simply requires the operator to pull back the slide before each shot.
Furthermore, they’re much cheaper to run since they don’t require any batteries, typically used in Airsoft Sniper Rifles, or gas to operate.
We offer a range of spring airsoft guns that come in all shapes and sizes. Common sniper rifles from Socom Tactical include JG VSR / bar10 G-Spec Sniper, with scope, or the Action Army AAC T11 Sniper Rifle.
Electric Airsoft Guns
Electric Airsoft Guns, commonly known as AEGs, are usually the most common type of airsoft rifle amongst airsoft players.
An AEG is a battery-powered airsoft weapon that can be fired in fully-auto or semi. AEGs usually have a rechargeable battery that can be easily charged after each time the gun is used.
An AEG can fire an airsoft BB at a velocity that ranges between 280 to 350 FPS. It’s common for an electric mechanism to be used for airsoft assault rifles and for newcomers, starting with an electric airsoft gun is a great choice because they’re much easier to operate.
At Socom Tactical, we offer a range of AEGs that are incredibly popular across the UK. From the Valken ASL rifles to the Arthurian Airsoft Range. For more information on the best AEG for you, get in touch with our specialist staff.
Gas Airsoft Guns
A gas airsoft gun uses compressed gas to fire the airsoft bullet down the gun barrel. The majority of gas airsoft guns come in the form of a pistol. A gas airsoft gun is fired by magazines of CO2 cartridges that are used to fire the bullets.
Gas airsoft guns are typically the most realistic out of the three versions of a mechanism used for airsoft guns. Our range of popular airsoft pistols includes the popular WE G17 Gen 5 Gas Blowback Pistol and the Action Army AAP-01 Assassin Pistol.
Airsoft Grenade Launchers
