Barry Sayer Posted Wednesday at 22:08 Share Posted Wednesday 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 😁 nighthawkkhan and EDcase 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDcase Posted Thursday at 11:34 Share Posted Thursday at 11:34 (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 Thursday at 11:48 by EDcase nighthawkkhan and Barry Sayer 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
