AEG CONCERNING AIRSOFT: In the Military Simulation game of AirsoftAirsoft is a military simulation sport somewhat similar in nature to Paintball, in which players participate in mock combat with authentic military-style weapons and tactics. Unlike Paintball, which uses paint-balls as projectiles, Airsoft guns usually us, an AEG (or Automatic Electric Gun) uses a motor and three gears to cycle a pistonIn general, a piston is a sliding plug that fits closely inside the bore of a cylinder. Its purpose is either to change the volume enclosed by the cylinder, or to exert a force on a fluid inside the cylinder. A piston in an internal combustion engine usua at an average rate of 700 rounds per minute. These quick bursts of compressed air fire out a 6mm ABS plastic BB, at about 280 feet per second in a stock configuration.
These guns are the used most commonly in AirsoftAirsoft is a military simulation sport somewhat similar in nature to Paintball, in which players participate in mock combat with authentic military-style weapons and tactics. Unlike Paintball, which uses paint-balls as projectiles, Airsoft guns usually us skirmishes, as they look very realistic, and offer the greatest variety of modern firearm replicas. Also, their ease of use (only a battery is necessary, unlike the guns that run off of compressed gas) makes them the most popular gun to own and use in serious battles.
The main manufacturer of AEGs, Tokyo Marui , has been in the business the longest. While their guns are only equipped with a ABS plastic body, they are still considered to be the most reliable guns. Classic ArmyClassic Army is a manufacturer of Airsoft Automatic Electric Guns that is quickly catching up to the giant Tokyo Marui in quality and followers. While early models suffered numerous reliability issues, the current line of AEGs (M15A4s) has an immense foll and ICS have proven themselves recently, moving up from their primative, unreliable AEGs to their more recent, perfected guns. These two brands equip their guns with a solid metal body, making them a joy to hold and fire.
