Airsoft Revolver

What Are Airsoft Revolvers?

Airsoft revolvers are mimics of a real revolver, with cylinders that can swing out for reloads. They are made up of plastic or metal and are available as both single and double action models. Airsoft revolvers can be gas or spring-powered to meet the needs of a wide range of players.  

Types of Airsoft Revolvers

Depending on their power source, airsoft revolvers can be divided into the following three types: 

• Gas-powered models: use CO2 cartridges to power the projectile and can be further classified into: 
  • CO2 BB Revolvers: fully metal models that fire 4.5mm BBs, like the Dan Wesson and Schofield models. 
  • CO2 Pellet Revolvers: highly versatile models that shoot pellets, such as the Dan Wesson 715. 
• Spring-powered models: require manual cocking for each shot 

How Much Does an Airsoft Revolver Cost? 

The price of airsoft revolvers can start from as low as $25 for a basic spring model and can go up to $200 for limited edition CO2 models. Spring-powered models are the cheapest, while gas-powered models cost more. 

Other influencing factors are:

• Build quality 
• Brand reputation 
• Performance features
• Realism 

So, the price totally depends on your requirement, whether you want a basic backyard shooter or a realistic, skirmish-ready sidearm.

FAQ’s

Are revolvers good for airsoft?

Yes, airsoft revolvers are durable, reliable, and come with realistic shell-loading. However, they offer lower ammo capacity when compared to airsoft pistols or guns.

Some users also prefer these cheap airsoft guns to add a unique style to their games. 

Why can't Amazon ship airsoft guns to me?
