Although they have been around for some time, Airsoft guns are becoming increasingly popular in many parts of the world. These guns shoot hard plastic pellets instead of bullets, and are usually powered spring. Handling them is much like handling a real gun, only the pellets do significantly less damage than a bullet.
Step1
Load the magazine with Airsoft pellets. Put the magazine into the gun.
Step2
Cock the gun by gripping the slide at the rear and pulling it back until it stops. This may take a strong grip and a solid pull, depending on the stiffness of the spring in the gun.
Step3
Aim the gun by looking down the top of the slide. Line up the front sight in between the two rear sights if your gun has front and rear sights. The front sight of the gun should cover your target.
Step4
Shoot the Airsoft gun by squeezing the trigger with your index finger. Keep the gun aimed at your target while you do this.
Step5
Repeat Steps 3 through 5.

Bullets or "BBs"
Types of bullets
Bullets have a diameter of 6 mm ( sometimes 8 mm ), they are in plastic( biodegradable, with colourant , or no ). Bullet's brand differ appreciably in quality. There is different weight ( 0,12g, 0,20 g, 0,23 g, 0,25 g, 0,30 g, etc.). An AEG use generally 0,20 g and 0,25 g bullets. Most heavy bullets are use to precision shot with powerful replicas. The speed in exit of the canon proportionally down as the augmentation of the bullet's weight, but his stability in air is really improve. A most heavy bullet has a best wind resistance.
Consumption
Burst shots last just some seconds. So we shot 20 bullets by burst. Count to one game ( ~ one afternoon ) between 500 and 2000 bullets ( or more if you are crazy of burst shot ! ).If you are sniper , your consumption is really small and decidedly under 500 bullets.
BIODEGRADABLEA

Game objectives in Airsoft
Airsoft games propose one or more objectives to be completed by just one or both teams. Here's some objectives ideas:
Team Deathmatch
The goal is to eliminate all members of the opposite team.

Everybody plays for his own count. Maybe played in paire with a teammate.
VIP
One player is promoted VIP. He's protected by his team and must reach "alive" a selected location. To win, the other team must elimintate the VIP enroute before he reached the point.
Capture the Flag
A flag (or bomb, document, missile,...) is placed between the teams. Each teams try to capture the flag and take it back in his own base.
Double CTF
Every team own a flag in his base. Both teams try to capture the opposite flag while they try to protect their own flag. If the ennemy flag is captured while your own flag his away, you must re-capture it before you score the point.
Escort
Same thing as the VIP game. One team must deliver an object (heavy crate, wheelbarrow,...) The other team tries to stop and destroy de convoy.
Hostages
One team hold one or more hostages. The other team tries to free and drive the hostages in safe zone.
