You can also switch between the various gas-powered pistols that have
adjustable trigger pulls that offer velocities of over 400 fps. Irrespective of the weapon you use, there are some basic safety norms which must be followed. Wear protective goggles or lenses, keep your finger away from the trigger until the point you are actually ready to fire. Aim the gun/pistol/ rifle that you are using, in the right direction. Never point any weapon at people who are not part of the game or at animals or pets.

The safety of the gun is not dependent on the power source of the Airsoft weapon that is being used. A large percentage of these products are electric motor operated and use battery power. They are generally safe in their unmodified versions and no attempt should be made to alter the electrical system. Modification increases the chances of a fire hazard or shock. Using a modified gun with an incompatible power source, either higher or lower than one that it has been rated for, is a definite risk factor. Playing with guns may be a game but it always pays to be cautious and careful.
