Question

Is an sm-8 airsoft rifle semi-auto?

Answer 1

All of the SM8 versions I saw are spring action, which means that no...it's not "semiauto".

Airsoft has 3 variations: Spring, Electric, and Gas.

Gas-op can be very tricky, and unless you're using a domestic model that uses something like Crossman co2 canisters then importing the gas can be tricky.

Electric can be either rechargeable or disposable batteries. The problem with the recharge cells is the same problem they always have...they run out eventually and won't recharge...so if you buy these make sure you get enough extras for the future.

Spring, while very reliable, is hand operated and slow. Really a best bet for target shooting rifles.
