curt once again misses the point. IT'S AIRSOFT. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANT! here's an example: TM M16 + upgrade kit = $320 UTG MP5 + upgrade kit = $200 knowing that you did it yourself and it works = priceless.

Airsoft is a military simulation sport somewhat similar in nature to Paintball, in which players participate in mock combat with authentic military-style weapons and tactics. Unlike Paintball, which uses paint-balls as projectiles, Airsoft guns usually use 6mm spherical BBs made typically with injection-molded ABS plastic and typically weighing from .12g to .43g. Furthermore, the 'weapons' used in Airsoft are generally exact 1:1 replicas of various real-world military weapons such as the Colt M16, H&K MP5 and so forth. It is extremely popular in eastern Asian countries, such as Japan and China, where real arms are difficult or impossible to obtain because of local laws. By this relationship, the vast majority of airsoft guns, accessories, and aftermarket upgrade parts are made in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Korea.
Airsoft "guns" Modern airsoft weapons can be grouped into three general types by their operating mechanism: Spring Powered These weapons fire a BB using a simple spring that must be cocked by hand prior to the shot. Most spring weapons are for indoor playing as they have limited range and cycle rates (because they must be hand operated). Typically, most spring airsoft weapons are inexpensive compared to similar models in gas or electric format. The most inexpensive and readily available of any of these are "springer" pistols, which generally operate by compressing a small piston/spring assembly and simultaneously chambering a BB from the magazine by pulling back the slide. Though these guns constitute the vast majority of spring guns, there is a large selection of mid-range spring powered rifle replicas on the market, and a handful of high-end precision bolt-action sniper rifles which employ manual cycling in order to drive extremely heavy springs (and hence produce higher muzzle velocities). Gas These weapons fire BBs using some sort of gas. In modern gas guns, this is usually a diflourothane or tetraflourthane gas, similar in composition to freon. This is a liquid when inside its packaged container, and remains in that state when injected into the magazine of an airsoft gun. When a valve on the top of the magazine is tripped, some of this liquid is ejected as a gas at high pressure and operates the specific cycling mechanism of the gas gun. Gas guns can typically be grouped into NBB and GBB categories. NBB (Non-Blow-Back) guns do not feature a cycling bolt or slide while GBB (Gas Blow-Back) guns have some sort of moving bolt that realistically chambers a BB from the magazine when cycled. Most NBB and GBB guns come in the form of pistols, with detachable magazines that contain both the BBs and the gas. Some rifles and machine gun replicas are gas operated as well, whether to take advantage of the realism afforded by bolt cycling or to allow adjustable muzzle velocities. The vast majority of all gas guns are produced in Japan and Taiwan. Modern Japanese guns typically use the "hf134" gas, which produces lower pressures than the "hf22" or "green" gas that Taiwanese guns use, due to better operating mechanisms. Many older gas guns, now out of production, use CO2 and/or HPA nitrogen through an external tank and regulator. With the advent of electric guns, this system has become very rare, due to the inherent inefficiency and instability of gas operation. But the level of quality in construction has prompted many current collectors and players to place continued interest and praise on these "classic" airsoft guns.
Automatic Electric Guns Also known as AEGs These weapons are powered by batteries and an electric motor, which cycles an internal piston/spring assembly in order to launch the BB projectile. These are by far the most common Airsoft weapons in "serious" competition use today. These guns were originally developed in Japan, and the Japanese model giant Tokyo Marui dominates the market today with many quality models. In a Marui AEG, the motor drives a series of 3 gears mounted inside a gearbox. The gears then compress a piston assemble against a spring. Once the piston is released, the spring drives it forward through the cylinder to push a BB into the chamber, through the barrel, and forward from the muzzle. Many manufacturers have now more or less replicated this basic model, adding reinforced parts or minor improvements. But it remains the general design common to almost all modern AEGs (with the exception of the TOP light machine gun line).
Performance The BBs themselves are also produced in various weights. Typically .12g and .2g BBs are used for spring pistols; .2, .23, or .25 grams for AEGs; and .29g, .3g, .36g, and .43g for sniper rifles. In rare instances, steel BBs can be used (though of course not with living targets!) that weigh up to 0.88g.
The typical BB weight used to measure muzzle velocity with is .2g. Airsoft guns shoot BBs at velocities from 150ft/s with .2g BBs (for a low-end spring pistol) to 550ft/s and beyond with the same (for heavily-upgraded customized sniper rifles). Most "stock" AEGs using the Tokyo Marui system are in the middle, producing velocities from 270-300ft/s, but upgrades to the internal components can increase the muzzle velocity significantly. Because of their low mass, they have very little kinetic energy on impact compared to paintball balls, ranging from 0.5 to more than 6 Joules (a typical paintball at 300ft/s produces 12.3J). This makes the sport arguably safer than Paintball although protective gear, especially for the eyes, is considered absolutely requisite for safe play.
Hop-up A significant development that has sense been incorporated into almost all mainstream airsoft guns of quality has been "hop-up." This is a simple rubber piece around the chamber or rear of the barrel that is thicker on the top in order to provide a backspin on the BB as it exits. Consistant with Bernoulli's principle, this causes air above the BB to move slightly faster than the air below it, creating a measure of lift. The practical effect of this mechanism is immediately visible and quite effective. Using it can extend the range of an airsoft gun by up to 50%. Some guns feature an adjustment mechanism to increase or decrease the amount of backspin, which allows fine tuning of the lift generate to accommodate various BB weights. Hop-up is also the reason that certain BB weights will not shoot in a relatively straight trajectory in certain guns - the hop-up produces either too much lift (causing the BB to "float" as it flies forward) or too little (causing a premature end to its flight).
History Airsoft had its origins in several abortive attempts by the Daisy BB gun company of USA to market a BB gun that could be safely shot by opposing players at each other. It was known then as "soft air," a name which airsoft is still sometimes known by. The products were not popular, and the sport was transplanted to Asia and has been extremely popular today. However there is a growing interest in the west again, especially in the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Spain, and Denmark.
The sport grew at a fast pace in Japan, due to tough laws and restrictions on firearms there. Perhaps the most significant development in Airsoft history was the mass adoption of AEG weapons as detailed previously. Now commonplace, they replaced costly and complicated gas powered weapons.
Import Restrictions Barrel Markings Due to extreme similarity between these replicas and real firearms, combined with lobbying efforts from U.S. BB gun manufacturers, some states and local regulations may prohibit the ownership or use of Airsoft guns. Federal importation laws require all Airsoft gun barrels to be painted about half an inch in blaze orange, as must all "toy guns". Importation to USA Since most airsoft guns are produced in Asia, many airsoft manufacturers have accurately reproduced trademarks and markings on their products for heightened realism. In most instances, this is done without licensing and thus produces legal complications. US customs routinely checks for illegal trademarks and even certain patented features, so many airsoft guns imported into the states have trademarks covered by plastic putty or destroyed outright by vulcanization in addition to the blaze orange front tip. Many distributers have begun to specifically market "clean" airsoft guns in the US, completely without troublesome trademarks or certain features which have caused legal controversy, such as the "safe action" trigger design employed by Glock in their line of pistols. Local Ordinances Recently, (as of Fall/Winter 2003) the State of California has declared the Airsoft replica to legally not be a toy, but to be classed similarly to an Air or BB gun, and subject to the same restrictions. Blaze Orange paint is mandated by federal law (Dept. of Commerce, 1986, 15 USC Sec. 5001), and Airsoft replicas may neither be used by nor sold to minors. Airsoft replica use is currently banned by the State of New Jersey, the Municipality of New York City, and portions of the State of Michigan. As Airsoft becomes more popular, many reported incidents have occurred where generally younger players have come into contact in public areas with local law enforcement unsure of the nature of the airsoft weapons involved. In the future, these incidents will certainly increase, perhaps with problematic consequences, as airsoft rapidly proliferates in the United States.
Outside of the United States, the United Kingdom's Home Office advocates a limit of 1 Joule on all Airsoft weapons, and a maximum muzzle energy of 328 fps (feet per second). In accordance with reports from the Forensic Science Service, use of a more powerful weapon constitutes assault with a deadly weapon, since the "lethal" threshold is approximately 1.35 Joule (1 foot pound).
Growth in the West Starting with early 2003, Daisy has once again begun marketing airsoft guns for sale in the US, under their "Powerstrike" brand name. This and other models have begun appearing en mass in major brick and mortor distributers, expanding what in the US was traditionally a generally internet based operation. US-based manufacturers of tactical gear and equipment have also begun to recognize the sport, some marketing products specifically for use in airsoft. On the internet, the online auction site eBay has noticed airsoft as well, and has created several categories specifically for the thousands of listings of airsoft gear and guns. Popularity in the UK has grown with similar measures.

apparently the 320 FPS rating they gave the new Ruger MKII's on the market is totally false...

idk, abad used to be really good at calibrating fps by catching them with his back, maybe he still can, but the important part is to not warn him its coming otherwise he assumes the fps already lol

well, i figured the only way to make that gun weaker is by modifying the valve inside the magazines...that's the only way to weaken it...but my ruger works fine with all the aftermarket mags i bought, so there's no way the new guns can be as weak as they advertise.
