What are airsoft sping pistols?

Answer 1

Spring guns require you to cock for every shot, they usually are cheaper(unless it it a high quality bolt action), they can be more durable than AEG's. An electric AEG will be able to fire full auto and usually has a higher cap mag. Also, AEGs usually have metal gearboxes called MPEG airsoft guns. Lower quality AEGs with plastic gearboxes called LPEGs are lower quality and break easier as well as having lower fps and other performance. I have had an LPEG and the mag misfed, and it tore up the internals. With my new gun linked below i have had no problems, the only upgrade i have used is a 600 rd hi cap mag. My gun chronoed at 496 fps right out of the box with a .28 bb. With standard .2 bbs ive clocked over 500 fps and hit targets in 1 inch groups from 400 feet without a scope.

Spring guns are mostly pistols, although i use a Mauser co2 pistol now.

Final answer:

AEGS-Good, but more expensive and can be fragile

Springers- great for beginners, but not something i would regard as anything more than a cheap sidearm.

Answer 2

A spring air-soft gun aka a springer can be either a rifle or a pistol etc.

It is called a springer, because instead of gas or electric, it uses a spring to launch the pellet. When you break and depress the gun, the spring curls up tight, and when you pull the trigger, the energy is released and the pellet is launched.
