Acronyms....

[Barry Sayer]

Being a airsoft newbie I hear and read many acronyms, plus terminology that I end up having to look up to find the meaning.....might sound daft but everyone was newb at some point, so would it be a good idea for a sort of 'novice list' ?

I.e. 

High cap - High capacity magazine 

RIF - Realistic imitation firearm 

AEG - Automatic electric gun

GBB - Gas blow back

etc.etc.

Basic, I know, but possibly helpful ?

The acronyms you've listed have a dotted line below them, so if you hover over them it provides the definition anyway.

Good idea Barry

Could make this into an Airsoft dictionary or encyclopaedia.

I would add to the list:

IF - Imitation Firearm  - Two Tone painted weapon

BFG - Blank Firing Grenade (Come as Timed or Impact type)

Hop - Rubber part that imparts spin on the BB to keep trajectory straight (Can also be referred to as 'Adjusting the hop')

Li-Po - Common battery used with AEGs.  (Commonly 7.2v but some AEGs can use 11.1v)

DEANS / T-Connector - Battery connection type for AEGs

Mini-Tamiya - Older, less efficient battery connector for AEGs
