Although people often think that paintball is the first strategy game of mock-armed combat, they are quite mistaken. In fact, games using Air Soft BB guns have been around for much longer. The technology behind Air Soft BB guns actually dates back to the 15th century, with the first applications of pneumatic technology to weaponry. Air Soft BB guns are an offshoot of more traditional air guns and are specifically destined for use on the playing or training field.

Air Soft BB guns generally fall into one of three categories: they are either powered by a spring action system, compressed gas or an electric motor. Guns that are powered by a spring need to be cocked manually. In terms of the inner mechanics, they are usually the simplest, making them the most affordable. Nevertheless, since the BB is projected by a hand-triggered spring, they are usually only capable of shooting one round at a time, needing the mechanism to be re-cocked to shoot again.

Some of the most popular spring action Air Soft BB guns are rifle and shotgun replicas. In fact, the spring action of these replicas provides a similar feel to the bolt or pump action on a real rifle or shotgun. At Pyramyd Air, we carry a number of high quality designs from the leading manufacturers in the industry. Many of the weapons in our inventory are scaled 1:1--not only do they look like the real thing, but they are also exactly the same size.
