Barry Sayer Posted yesterday at 22:08 Share Posted yesterday at 22:08 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 😁 EDcase 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDcase Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago (edited) 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 Edited 12 hours ago by EDcase Barry Sayer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK47frizzle Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago Ah don't forget "APS" - A Piece of Shit However, the only condition in which that is not true is when "CAM 870" is next to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDcase Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago (edited) 21 minutes ago, GenuineGerman said: Does remf count in Airsoft? Of course, otherwise known as snipers 😄 ROF - 'Rate of Fire' or wanker rating. The higher it is the more wanky. Over 15 is knob level.
