Classic Army M4 AEG with a replica Aimpoint CompM2 red dot sight Airsoft pellets. Airsoft guns are air guns used in airsoft sports. They are a special type of low-power smoothbore guns designed to shoot plastic pellets often colloquially (but incorrectly) referred to as "BBs", which are typically made of (but not limited to) plastic or biodegradable resin materials.
Tighter-bore barrels will increase velocity because there will be less space between the pellet and the barrel for the air to escape through. Most stock airsoft guns have 6.03–6.05 mm (0.237–0.238 in) bore barrels, but best performance [27] is usually seen with "tightbore" barrels, which are 6.01–6.05 mm (0.237–0.238 in) in diameter ...
Airsoft replicas fall into the D category of weapons, and to buy one users must be at least 14 years old. The maximum muzzle velocities allowed by the Croatian Airsoft Federation for various categories of rifles are: [citation needed] Automatic electric gun (AEG): 1.49 J – maximum 1.56 J; Machine gun: 1.49 J – max 1.56 J
The Myasishchev M-4 Molot (Russian: Молот (Hammer), USAF/DoD reporting name "Type 37", [2] [3] ASCC reporting name Bison [4]) was a four-engined strategic bomber designed by Vladimir Mikhailovich Myasishchev and manufactured by the Soviet Union in the 1950s to provide a Long Range Aviation bomber capable of attacking targets in North America.
A Powerlet cartridge, commonly referred to as a CO 2 charger, is a small disposable metal gas cylinder holding 8–12 grams (0.28–0.42 oz) of liquid CO 2 and often a small quantity of lubricating oil, used as a pneumatic power source for certain air guns, airsoft guns, paintball guns, carbonation, and for quick inflation of various devices ...
Their XM177 and probably many of their other guns are copies of Tokyo Marui. Their M4 and Kitty Kat springers are based on their AEG M4s, and can take a V2 gearbox with very little modification. Academy makes a few airsoft kits, which are assembled by the purchaser. Kit offerings include an Uzi, a few M16 variants, including an M16A1 with M203.
Airsoft gun powerplants are designed to have low muzzle energy ratings (generally less than 1.5 J or 1.1 ft⋅lbf) and the polymer pellets have significantly less penetrative and stopping powers than conventional air guns, and are generally quite safe for competitive sporting and recreational purposes if proper protective gear is worn.
The M4 carbine barrel is 368 mm (14.5 in) and the XM8 barrel is 317 mm (12.5 in) but the rifles have the same overall length. Although a shorter barrel generally results in lower muzzle velocity, Polygonal rifling partially compensates for the loss of velocity from a shorter barrel. An electronic round counter was proposed for the XM8.
