Depending on the mechanism for driving the pellet, an airsoft gun can be operated manually or on a cyclic basis. The cycling mechanism is implemented by either compressed gas (such as Green Gas [mix of propane and silicone] or CO₂) or by compressed air (via a spring or an electric motor pulling a piston).

The Airsoft guns are designed to be non-lethal and to provide realistic replicas.
