NiCad's have a life of approximately 1000 cycles with proper care. More than likely, the battery can revived (providing that the battery isn't completely damaged from years of memory buildup).Īlso, keep in mind all batteries have an expected life. Many people who do not know about memory effects simply throw away the battery away because they think it is dead. In other words, if you have a NiCad that routinely gets discharged to only 50% of it's capacity, it will eventually not provide power below that mark. The 'memory' effect described above occurs when a battery 'remembers' its usual discharge point and superficially 'needs' a charge whenever it hits that point. Note that LiPo batteries will be a LOT lighter than either of the other two styles. The following is a comparison of the features of these different battery types: There are three basic types of rechargeable batteries suitable for use in Airsoft guns.Nickel Cadmium (NiCad), Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH), and Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries. Some battery styles, and unique configurations, will add to the cost of a given battery.Ĭolder temperatures will greatly reduce battery effectiveness and life. This is only a general rule, and varies by gun type.Ĭell configuration (in what shape the cells are put together) can affect the cost of a battery. AIRSOFT GUN JAM FULLFor example, an 1100 mAh battery should be able to shoot about 1100 BB’s on a full charge. A very general rule is that, on a full charge, you can shoot one BB per mAh. The higher the mAh, the longer the battery will last in your gun, but will cost more initially. In general, a battery with the same cell size and voltage will vary in cost based on the mAh of the battery. The milliamperage rating, or mAh of a battery determines how long a gun will fire, as well as determine recharge time. For example:Ħ cells x 1.2V = 7.2V, 7 cells x 1.2V = 8.4V, etc.īattery milliamperage (mAh) is printed on the battery cell. To determine a battery's voltage, multiply the number of cells by 1.2 volts. Battery voltage (V) is determined by the number of cells in a battery pack. Voltage, (V) determines the rate of fire of an electric gun and how strong a spring can be installed in the weapon. Gas guns are operated by either gas (usually green gas, purchased in a can), or CO2 (12 grams). Blowback models have a realistic slide mechanism that moves back and forth, giving a realistic feeling recoil with every shot. Non blowback guns tend to be lower in price (and often quality) than the blowback models. ![]() The Gas pistols come is a two styles: non-blowback and blowback. Gas guns are most commonly pistols, but there are some exceptions. While we carry some low end AEG’s, we specialize in the mid-grade and high end AEG’s. AEG’s now come in a wide range of price and quality levels. Most AEG’s offered by PB Sports come as a package including the gun, magazine, battery, charger, BB’s and cleaning rod. This type is most often able to shoot both semi-auto and full-auto, selectable by an external switch. They use a rechargeable battery and a motor to work a gearbox containing the firing piston and spring, which in turn fires the gun. Some people prefer the simplicity of the spring gun, as well as the non-reliance on batteries or gas.Įlectric Guns (AEG’s) are the most popular guns sold by PB Sports. An exception to this is the spring sniper rifles, which can reach velocities of over 475 fps (feet per second). The velocity of most spring guns will generally be lower than that of the other types. Spring guns are typically some of the more inexpensive guns available. This ‘pump’ action makes this type of gun incapable of semi-auto or fully-automatic fire. This action compresses the spring inside the gun, making it ready to fire. This is typically done by cocking the slide (pistol), bolt (rifle), or grip (shotgun). They operate by the user cocking a spring prior to each shot. Spring guns are the most basic type of Airsoft gun. ![]()
