The spring powered guns function by pulling back on the slide of the gun just like you would on a real gun. When the slide is pulled back, the spring is compressed and a BB is loaded into the chamber. Then you obviously pull the trigger to fire. To fire another round you must pull the slide back again to compress the spring. Most spring guns are completely composed of ABS resin (excluding the spring and other internal parts). See what I think about the UHC M92F            Gas guns are a totally differnt thing. Liquid gas is inserted into the magazine (clip) by a compressed can and then the clip is inserted into the gun. Once the clip is in, you pull the slide back to load the first BB into the chamber. Now you just pull the trigger. A portion of the gas in the magazine is released to drive the BB out of the gun and to push back the slide, just like a real gun. This forcing back of the slide is a very rapid action. When the slide goes back, it loads the next Picture from Executive Airsoft BB so all you have to do is keep pressing the trigger. Not all gas guns have this blow back effect, but they are always semi-automatic and sometimes fully automatic!            As will all handguns, since they have a very short barrel they do not have as good of range or accuracy as an AEG would.
