Turkish 0 Posted July 22, 2002 If anyone here is interested in maybe living out some of the stuff in OFP, this is the sport for you. Airsoft is similar to paintball, in that the guns use air to propel a projectile through the air. But with airsoft, the guns are exact replicas of real ones (in many cases, even down to the trademarks), and they shoot 6mm solid pellets. Some are spring-cockers, which require a manual cocking for each shot. There are also gas guns, which use PC Duster-type gas to operate the mechanism (in many cases, the gas also blows back the slide, simulating the cycle of real pistols, but they also make gas revolvers, automatics that don't blow back, and submachine guns). Finally, they have guns that are powered by battery and electric motor. These are most often submachine guns and assault rifles that fire full-auto. Just about every brand and/or style of gun has been made at some point in time. It's pretty cool.
