M39GL Spring BB Pistol

No, spring airsoft pistols need nothing but you to make it work. Spring guns use a cocking lever or similar to set the spring and firing system. Spring airsoft pistols are great fun - ideal for target shooting as they fire one shot at a time. You will need to reset the firing system with the bolt or cocking lever between every shot.

BB pellets are, simply put, the ammo that your airsoft pistol will be using. Choosing the right BBs can be just as important as selecting the right gun. This is because BB weight matters - this is simply how heavy the BB is. 0.12g is the most common weight for spring pistols and a great place to start, but for greater accuracy you should try 0.20g BB Pellets.

If you are asking this question, the answer is yes: you must buy a blue pistol. If you are a newcomer to airsoft and have not attended an airsoft club or site, you will not currently be registered with UKARA. However, if you are over 18, you can purchase an Airsoft Two-Tone pistol. These blue pistols are UK legal and comply with the VCR Act of 2007.

You need to supply a defence at checkout if you want to buy a RIF (Real Imitation Firearm) - a Black / Tan / Gold / Silver with no blue. Make sure one of the following is true: the delivery address is not in the UK, you have a current UKARA membership, you have a current UKAPA membership, you are a member of a properly insured historical re-enactment group or society, you are a film, television or theatre production company, you are (or are acting on behalf of) a museum, you are a Crown Servant in pursuance of your Crown duties.

FPS means ‘feet per second’ - a measure of velocity or distance travelled in a given second. So, in theory, the higher the FPS, the further the BB pellet will travel. However, you will also need to consider BB pellet weight and, importantly, if you are using a Hop-Up unit.

A Hop-Up makes it so that when a BB is fired from the airsoft gun using a burst of compressed air, a small and grippy rubber pad rubs against the top of the BB. This has the effect of adding a backspin to the round projectile. Adding a backspin to any ball whilst flying through the air adds lift and therefore increases its range. Some spring airsoft pistols include fixed Hop-Ups, but most do not. If your spring pistol is low FPS then a Hop-Up is not normally needed.
