How to Cock and Shoot an Airsoft Gun

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.
