Airsoft guns - the electric bbgun

The electric bb gun is one of the most popular Airsoft Guns. These guns are designed to use the electrical power derived from an onboard battery. The electric power is used to drive a motor which turns the gears in the gun’s mechanism for the compression and release of the piston. This piston is used to create a blast of air which propels the BB pallets.

The electric bb gun is also known as an automatic electric gun or AEG, because it has a very efficient rate of fire. The typical rate of fire for an electric bb gun has a ROF of 300 to 900, (RPM) rounds per minute. The muzzle velocities typically range from 200 to 400 feet per second.

The most popular electric bb gun models are manufactured in Japan. Usually these models are motor driven and have a series of 3 gears that are mounted inside a gearbox. This gearbox lends the electric bb gun models with an unmatched power. Usually the market is flooded with a number of these models.
