Is electric airsoft guns better than gas?

Question

I'm going to be getting an airsoft gun and I don't know what type to get, I think gas will hurt a little more but I just want some reccommendations

Answer 1

Co2 guns can be bought at sports authority for around 50 + gas. Those tend to pack a little more punch if they Co2 is fresh (your 1st 30 shots will be devastating but the velocity drops as you take more shots). These are usually semi auto and have a clip from 10 -15 rounds. Depending on the electric, it can either be good or c**p. A good one is going to cost about 120ish and anything less than that can be assumed as c**p. A good electric will allow you to have sustained automatic fire at velocities that are a little lower than the gas ones. If you are looking to spend a lot of money then I suggest the one of the Echo 1 mp5 or m16 variants. However if your not looking to spend that much get a gas one because they are smaller and usually end up with more fun play. A high rate of fire means that aiming becomes unnecessary which takes out most of the fun.

Answer 2

well if you want to have more range, you should get a gas. but for just recreational use, you should most probably get an electric.

Answer 3

it depends. do you want to hurt people? but for gas you would have to buy co2 which is a little pricy. But electric is just as good. i would go with the Electric
