The highest popularity with AirSoft variant guns
are termed "Air Electric" guns. The electric powered
mechanisms are usually encased in a large gun with a high
capacity magazine along the scale of a submachine gun or rifle
configuration. Most are finely detailed while some are equipped
with functional accessories and components. Other unique
selections in this category are the science fiction guns from
popular movies and the cute, compressed "Mini AirSoft"
guns, which are basically stubby and exaggerated copies of actual
rifles and submachine guns.
The Electric AirSoft BB Guns incorporate a
battery powered motor, transmission gearing, and circuit board
onto the air piston assembly. Instead of manually cocking the
piston head for every shot, the motor and gears perform the
cocking action and release of the piston at the moment of trigger
pull. The speed at which the motor and gears perform the entire
action is within a fraction of a second, allowing for near
instantaneous firing response. The circuit board is hooked up
directly to the trigger pull for each shot. A constant pull on
the trigger with the selector dial at full allows for a constant
electrical stream from the battery to the motor, keeping the
entire firing system in continuous motion until pressure is let
off of the trigger. Recent advances in Air Electric design even
allows for the user to control the number of shots fired during
burst mode by adjusting the circuit board setting.
