Spring powered BB Guns are usually not as powerful as gas powered bb guns, but are normally more powerful than electric bb guns because stronger springs can often be used without the worry of overloading the bb guns gearbox motor.
This is the most common type of BB pistol available and is basically the norm for all new players and starting Airsofters looking for a pistol, this type of gun does not need any batteries or gas to make it shoot, and simply needs the player to pull back on the slide until it clicks then release it to make the weapon ready to shoot. spring pistols are generally cheaper then their gas or electric counterparts but that does not mean thay have less power as a good spring pistol can have more power then a electric bb gun.
