What does blowback mean on a airsoft gun?

Answer 1

it means the slide will blow back when fired it just like a real pistol

Answer 2

Blowback on a gas or electric airsoft pistol means that the electric motor or gas in the airsoft pistol fires the bb out of the gun, and while it does so, it forces the piston backward to grab a fresh bb out of the clip and drives it home in the chamber.

Answer 3

Blowback means if the gun loader/cocker thing (sorry, my mind is totally blank right now lol) but when it blows back like the real thing. So if you have a pistol airsoft gun the "cocker thing" will move back to "load" the gun like real life. Sorry for the crappy description.

Answer 4

relies upon on the same old. I even have an airsoft M16 and AK-40 seven. each and every fee me approximately 280$. They not at all jam, have great battery existence, and are precise to a honest distance. With AEG's, you are able to desire to bear in ideas which you like an high priced one, they are the terrific. gas blowbacks are extra perfect out of the container, yet are companies to misfires and jamming, to no longer point out the fee. Winner (IMO): AEG- terrific for long term airsoft play. yet you desire a extreme priced one for complete high quality.

Answer 5

I'm guessing the force exerted back at you when the airsoft gun is shot.

Answer 6

blowback resets the firing mechanism. It's the operating principle of almost all semi-automatic weapons.

Answer 7

Answer 8
