I quite like some of these nerf weapons. Can we have a sub section for these? If I didn't know you as well as I do, I'd swear you were 'extracting the urine'

Being an ex a/s skirmisher, I think that any a/s replica should be discussed, regardless of how the projectile is propelled. As long as we don`t start discussions about actual shooting at people/skirmishing and just concentrate on the replica itself that would be ok with me. Having owned both aeg and gbb a/s replicas , I prefer gbb guns for the added realism of the blowback action. Most a/s replicas are much better " replicas" of real firearms than our more usual .177/.22 air gun replicas. I like them all. Pete.

Agree with pete .... however why do we insist on calling all 6mm loading replicas "Airsoft" when there is a lot of them out there that are too powerful and cannot be used for skirmishing. why not (for forum reference ) jusst call them 6mm. The build quality of the ones i have handled is excellent and the choice is a lot wider than 4.5mm weithe they be gas blowback or AEG

LOL, not at you, at me! I nearly mentioned Nerf when framing the question "so what is an airgun?"
Spring powered, manually cocked - tick!
The modding comunity around Nerf is an amazing thing. Might be out of scope for this community, although if you look at some of the Fortnite tie-ins while its a stretch to say "replica" they are certainly recognisable characatures.
That one actually takes two 12g co2s and is a decent m4 replica!

Hmm... I do like an AR... where do I sign?
But I agree with the point that to call it airSOFT it proobably needs to be 328fps / 1J / site friendly so simply 6mm is probably a better description.
