  Auto electric airsoft rifle Electric powered airsoft full size
Electric-powered airsoft guns typically use a rechargeable battery to drive an electric motor, which cycles an internal piston/spring assembly in order to launch pellets. Automatic and semi-automatic operation is possible which gives these guns the popular name "automatic electric guns" or AEGs. These guns often attain muzzle velocities of 200 to 400 feet per second (60 to 120 m/s) (ft/s measure by a chronograph) and fire rates of 300 to 900 rounds per minute and are by far the most common and widely available airsoft guns in serious competition use today.
These airsoft guns were originally developed in Japan, and the Japanese model giant Tokyo Marui dominates the market today with many quality models. In a Tokyo Marui AEG, the motor drives a series of 3 gears mounted inside a gearbox. The gears then compress a piston assembly against a spring. Once the piston is released, the spring drives it forward through the cylinder to push a pellet into the chamber, through the barrel, and forward from the muzzle. Many manufacturers have now more or less replicated this basic model, adding reinforced parts or minor improvements. These weapons are powered primarily by two types of rechargeable battery packs. These are nickel cadmium (NiCad) or nickel metal hydride (NiMH) and come in ranging voltages and milliampere hours. The most common battery is an 8.4 V large battery (usually about 2400 mA•h.) Also available are 8.4 V "mini" batteries, which generally have 600 mA•h capacities. Voltages for large batteries range from 7.2 V, all the way up to 12 V. The rule of thumb usually is the higher the mAh, the longer the battery lasts while the higher voltage, the higher rate of fire (RoF).
External modifications for electric airsoft, such as metal bodies and reinforced plastics that make AEGs look and feel even more realistic, have become very popular. AEG manufacturers such as Classic Army (Yick Fung) produce replicas that are nearly identical to their real counterparts. Most AEGs produced as of late are designed to be as realistic as possible.
The two most common AEG electric airsoft fielded by players everywhere are the AR-15 series (M16, M4, etc.; sometimes referred to as the Armalite or Colt series) and the AK or Kalashnikov series (AK-47, AK-74, etc.) as parts for repairs or modifications/customization options for these two types of AEGs are commonly available. The third most common AEG is the Heckler & Koch MP5 series for the same reason.
