Automatic Electric Guns: The Future of Tactical Play

🔫 Automatic Electric Gun (AEG) - Description

Overview: An Automatic Electric Gun (AEG) is a battery-powered airsoft gun commonly used in recreational sports like airsoft skirmishing. It mimics the appearance and functionality of real firearms but fires 6mm plastic BBs using electrically powered internal mechanics.

Key Features:

Electric Motor: A small high-torque motor powered by a rechargeable battery (usually NiMH or LiPo) drives the internal gear mechanism.

Gearbox: The heart of the AEG, the gearbox uses a series of gears to compress a spring, which when released, propels the BB down the barrel.

Modes of Fire: Most AEGs offer selectable fire modes – safe, semi-automatic, and fully automatic.

Magazines: AEGs use detachable magazines that can hold anywhere from 30 to over 300 BBs, depending on the type.

Material: Typically constructed from durable polymer or metal for realism and durability.

Performance:

Velocity: Generally between 300–400 FPS (feet per second) with 0.20g BBs.

Rate of Fire: Can range from 600 to over 1,000 rounds per minute depending on the motor and battery setup.

Accuracy: Effective range is typically 100–150 feet, depending on internal upgrades and hop-up adjustment.

Applications:

Primarily used in airsoft games and training scenarios.

Also utilized in military and law enforcement simulations.

Advantages:

Reliable and consistent firing performance.

Easily upgradeable with aftermarket parts.

Wide variety of models (e.g., M4, AK47, MP5, etc.).

Maintenance:

Regular cleaning and lubrication of the barrel and gearbox are recommended.

Battery care is important for maintaining performance and longevity.
