Airsoft guns are replicas of real firearms that shoot non-metallic pellets. BB guns, on the other hand, are replica guns that shoot small metal balls.
The first airsoft gun was created in Japan in the early 1970s. These guns were designed to shoot plastic pellets and were used for target practice.
BB guns were first created in the late 1800s in America. These guns were designed to shoot small metal balls and were used for target practice.
How airsoft guns work
Airsoft guns use a spring-loaded mechanism to propel non-metallic pellets through the air. The pellets are typically made of plastic or biodegradable material.
BB guns use a similar mechanism to propel metal balls through the air. The metal balls are typically made of brass or steel.
How BB guns work
BB guns use a spring-loaded mechanism to propel metal balls through the air. The metal balls are typically made of brass or steel.
When the trigger is pulled, the spring-loaded mechanism is released and propels the ball forward. The ball then hits a chamber that holds the gas or air. This gas or air forces the ball out of the barrel and propels it forward.
The difference between airsoft guns and BB guns
The main difference between airsoft guns and BB guns is the type of ammunition they use. Airsoft guns use non-metallic pellets, while BB guns use metal balls.
Airsoft guns are typically used for recreational purposes, such as target practice or playing airsoft games. BB guns are typically used for hunting or plinking (shooting at targets for recreation).
