What is an Airsoft Gun?

Gas-Powered Airsoft Pistol

 An airsoft gun propels a small plastic pellet at varying speed of between 160 and 600 feet per second (FPS). Airsoft pistols are most typically used for law enforcement/military training purposes and military-like simulation games among airsoft enthusiasts.

Three Types of Airsoft Pistols:

Gas-Powered Airsoft Pistol:

Gas-Powered Airsoft Pistol

Gas-powered pistols depend on compressed gas to fire the plastic pellet. The compressed gas can be found in the form of CO2, nitrogen and HFC134a refrigerant. These pistols typically fire with more power than the Spring-powered pistol and are also semi-automatic so the weapon operator is not required to cock the weapon for each and every shot. You can find a lot of online airsoft review to get more idea about it.

Spring Airsoft

Spring Airsoft

Spring guns are the most basic type of airsoft pistol. These guns utilize a spring mechanism to fire a plastic pellet. These pistols fire only a single shot at a time, requiring the pistol operator to cock the weapon for each and every shot.

Electric Airsoft Pistol:

Gas-Powered Airsoft Pistol

Electric airsoft pistols also use springs for their powering mechanism, however, a battery pack engages the springing mechanism as opposed to the operator manually cocking the weapon.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Spring-Powered Airsoft Pistols

Spring-powered airsoft pistols are typically lower cost than the electric or gas-powered airsoft pistols. The spring-powered pistols are usually much less powerful than electric or gas-powered pistols, however, airsoft rifles excel in power and precision. Most spring-powered pistols fire at a range of just 170 to 300 feet per second. Many electric and gas-powered airsoft pistols will fire at speeds much greater than that of most spring-powered pistols.

The biggest disadvantage to a spring-powered airsoft pistol is that the user must cock the weapon each and every time the weapon is fired. With pistols, commonly used for close-quarter combat situations and scenarios, having to manually cock the weapon for each shot is simply not an option, and this makes spring-powered pistols unrealistic in training and mock combat simulation situations.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Gas-Powered Airsoft Pistols

Gas-powered airsoft pistols have greater power and more realistic firing style than the spring-powered weapons. The gas-powered guns have a semi-automatic firing mechanism, permitting the operator to fire several shots in a short amount of time.

Further, these gas-powered pistols are often much more powerful, firing at speeds in excess of 400 feet per second. These weapons are very accurate and are capable of reaching targets at a farther distance than spring-powered pistols.

The gas-powered pistols are often made mostly of metal, creating a weapon that is both more durable and more realistic in appearance. The gas is not ideal in cold weather, with the cold affecting the performance in both firing efficiency and in terms of power.

The biggest drawback to gas-powered airsoft pistols is that you can simply run out of gas while using the gun. This would require you to replace the gas canister before you can re-use the weapon.

Gas-powered airsoft pistols are usually a bit more expensive than their spring-powered counterparts, ranging in price from around $40 to up to $300.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Electric-Powered Airsoft Pistols

Electric-powered airsoft pistols are some of the top performings, and most expensive, airsoft pistols in the marketplace today. Many electric-powered pistols fire at speeds up to 500 feet per second, and are some of the most durable and easily maintained airsoft guns available.

The electric-powered weapons utilize a rechargeable battery pack to power the weapon. The ability to recharge the battery pack is a huge benefit, as you do not have to continually buy more gas canisters to keep the pistol firing.

There are two main drawbacks to these electric-powered pistols. First, the battery packs eventually run out, and if you are left without additional battery packs you are out of luck. Second, because the weapon is electric-powered it does not ordinarily perform well in damp conditions.

Learn How To Play Card Games Now That Will Be Popular In The Future

Over the last decade, card games have become more popular than ever. Live tournaments, online casinos, and mobile gaming apps have all helped spur this along, with more card games becoming popular with every passing year. Here, we’ll be looking at three card games that are already receiving a lot of attention and will surely become more popular in the future. 1. Baccarat: While poker may be the first strategy card game that pops into any player's head, baccarat requires just as much tactical intelligence and often appears alongside poker games at live and online casinos. A standard game begins with the player betting on either their own hand or the banker’s hand before the cards are dealt. Once this has been done, the dealer will then give two cards each to the player and banker, all of which must be face down. The dealer then slides one card out from the player’s hand, placing it face up before doing the same with the banker’s hand. Two more cards are dealt, and the maths begins. Tens and face cards have no value while an ace is worth just one point and all other numbered cards represent their exact value. For instance, if the player has a nine and a six their total is 15. However, you don’t necessarily want to have a bet on the highest total if you are the player, as it is the number closest to nine that wins. Of course, the best-case scenario is that the hand the player bet on is a ‘natural win’, meaning that the first two cards dealt a total of either eight or nine, but this is rarely the case. More often than not, the dealer will have to decide if the player should receive a third card, which is allowed only when the player’s cards total 0 to 5 and the banker’s hand doesn’t already total eight or nine. The banker may also receive a third card under the following circumstances: The Player’s third card was 9, 10, ace, or a face card, and the Banker’s total is 0-3. Player’s third card 8, and the Banker’s total 0 – 2. Player’s third card 6 or 7, and the Banker’s total 0 – 6. Player’s third card 4 or 5, and the Banker’s total 0 – 5. Player’s third card 2 or 3, and the Banker’s total 0 – 4. Once all the cards have been dealt, it’s time to recalculate and see which hand’s total is closer to nine. If there’s a draw, neither hand wins, and the game either starts again or players may leave the table. Clearly, baccarat isn’t one of those card games that you can just sit back and relax through while the cards are being dealt. You must be vigilant, pay attention to the cards, and, most importantly, you must have a strategy in mind. Fortunately, there are plenty of baccarat strategies you can apply including the one-sided baccarat strategy, the trend switches combat baccarat strategy, and the breaking the doubles strategy. Each of these requires quick-thinking, quick maths, and an ability to accept when you’ve lost a game, so you may want to practice before going for the big money. 2. Rummy: Over the last decade, many card games have become popular at online casinos often receiving numerous different makeovers and versions to ensure there are all sorts of different styles to play. Rummy, on the other hand, seems to have gone down a different techy road and is probably most popular as a mobile game. A simple search on the Google Play store will bring up dozens of rummy games (sometimes known as gin), many of which even enable you to play live with other rummy enthusiasts around the world. Whether you’re playing on your mobile or face-to-face, though, the same rules apply. First of all, the amount of players decides how many cards everyone is dealt: 2 to 4 players: 10 cards each 5 players: 6 cards each 2 or 5+ players: 7 cards each A scorer and dealer must have been designated at the start before the dealer shares the hands out and places the rest of the deck face down in the center. The card at the top of this pile (known as the stock) is turned over and placed beside the larger pile. The game can now begin with the player on the left of the dealer, who must decide whether to pick the upwards facing card up or choose the top card from the stock. Which one they choose depends on whether the upwards card will help them create a run (a consecutive sequence of three or more cards of the same suit) or a set (three or four cards of equal value), known as a meld. If they can make a meld, they may set those cards aside, but if not one card from their hand (never the one they just picked up) must be placed on top of the upwards card (also facing upwards). Each player must do the same in turn, shuffling the stock and starting again until it is depleted completely. The players with the most runs and sets are victorious. 3. Bridge: Finally, we have a bridge – a card game that has been passed down for generations. It’s sophisticated, subtle, and more popular than ever, with ITV reporting in 2015 that over 300,000 people play in Britain on a regular basis. We can probably assume that this number has grown even larger over the last few years, as the bridge has received both the casino and mobile app treatment. This isn’t surprising at all, considering its already long-established popularity and the fundamentally social nature of the game, which has only become more apparent in online and mobile games. So, how is the bridge played? There must be four players divided into teams of two, with players sitting opposite each other forming partnerships are known as North-South and East-West. Bidding is then started, but it’s important to know how the game is played first. A total of 13 cards are then given to each player, starting with the player left of the dealer. Each suite has a different ranking for bidding purposes, with spades being the highest followed by hearts, diamonds, and finally clubs, though this isn’t necessarily important during play. That is unless one suit has been labelled ‘trumps’, which means it beats all other suits. As for the value of cards, numbered cards retain their inherent value while aces are the highest followed by kings, queens, and jacks. The aim is to collect ‘tricks’, a collection of four cards one taken from each player, with 13 tricks up for grabs in a single deal. A player will be designated to play the first card in a trick, known as a lead, which can be any card. However, the three other players must then play cards of the same suit if they can; if not, the obligation is voided. Once four cards have been played, assuming that no trump suit has been named, whichever team played the highest value of the lead suit wins the trick. However, if a trump was declared, then the highest-valued card of that suit wins the trick. Before any player can actually start, bidding will have taken place with players stating the number of tricks they believe they can take during a deal. The dealer is the opener, beginning a sort of auction where players continue raising the number of tricks until three players inevitably say pass and the final bid is labeled the contract. Whoever declared the final bid is known as the ‘declarer’ and must then ask their teammate to be the ‘dummy’, where they place their cards face up for all to see and are no longer allowed to participate. Instead, the final bidder plays their hand as well as their own. If at the end of the game, the declarer and dummy team have the contract amount of more, it is converted into points. If they have not, the defending team receives points. Whether you’ll be playing bridge to get those tricks, downloading rummy on your mobile, or booting up baccarat at an online casino, we’re sure you’ll have loads of fun. After all, that’s why these card games continue to be played by thousands of people around the world and why their popularity continues to grow in the digital era.

TSM

The End of an Era: Is It Time to Call the End of the TSM Dynasty?

A Brief History After five years and a record-setting 10 back-to-back appearances in the LCS Final, the team that has for so long defined North America failed to make it out of the Quarter Finals in the Season 8 Spring Split, dropping a best-of-5 series to newly formed team Clutch Gaming 1-3. The team came back fighting in Summer Split, battling their way to a 10-8 record and taking a close 3-2 win over Echo Fox to advance to the Semi-Finals, where they again fell short of the Finals after losing 2-3 to Cloud9. After winning the third-place match and securing a place in the Regional Qualifier, the team hit another first after losing 0-3 in the Grand Final to Cloud9 and missing their first-ever Worlds. The team took the off-season to retool their roster to fare better in the now much more competitive domestic region, replacing Hauntzer and Mithy with Turkish top lanerBrokenBlade and former Echo Fox support Smoothie respectively. That took them to another Grand Final in the Season 9 Spring Split, where they got reverse swept by juggernaut Team Liquid, but they once again fell on their faces in the Summer Split as they fell out once again in the Quarter Finals to Clutch Gaming in a horrifically similar 1-3 loss. Is TSM’s Time Up? With the team failing to make the Grand Finals in three of the last four Splits, and the roster circus that’s followed them around the jungle position, many viewers and analysts have begun to question whether it’s time to stop hyping up TSM. Such claims had begun to stir last year after TSM failed to make it to the Grand Final in Spring, and again when they failed to make Worlds at the end of Summer. Many of these remarks were quickly shoved aside by the community: “TSM had taken a big risk bringing in the star European bot lane duo of Zven and Mithy from G2,” they’d say, “MikeYeung had failed to live up to his Phoenix1 play level. They could easily fix those problems and pick up the star talent they always seem to have an eye for.” This denial when it came to TSM’s decline was further exacerbated by their upset victory of Cloud9 in the Season 9 Spring Semi-Finals, and their near-victory over Team Liquid in the Grand Final. But the Summer Split has finally ripped the bandage off of the wound, so to speak, and really laid bare just how far TSM has fallen. The team has had 10 different players play for it across all roles in the last two years: that’s two full teams worth of players, most of which came out of the jungle (four of the ten are junglers, or one every split), and the rapid succession of changes to the starting lineup indicates a problem not just at the team level but the organizational level as well. As PetarVukobrat has been covering over at EsportsTalk.com, TSM has been up and down across the split, and whether they show up and dominate or flounder varied day to day and game to game. You never knew whether you’d get Grig and his Baron steals or Akkadian and his aggressive ganking for a match, and towards the Split’s end whether you’d see either of them at all or rookie Spica. You could lever the same claims, of course, at teams like Cloud9 or 100Thieves, both of whom also rotated through their roster throughout the Split. The difference, though, is that those teams felt like there was actually a plan to the moves; a rhyme or reason behind swapping Deftly for Sneaky, or FakeGod for Ssumday to allow Ryu to come on for Soligo. With TSM, however, it’s constantly felt like they just made changes for the sake of change. Whether that was changing a style that’s worked for weeks because they lost a single game, or saying they had absolute faith in Akkadian as their starting jungler only to swap him out two weeks later for Spica, the team just seems to make changes to react and hope that what they do will make their problems go away. These aren’t the strong and tactical roster maneuvers the team has been known for in the past: this is throwing everything at the wall and hoping something sticks. It’s honestly heartbreaking to see a once-proud organization laid so low like this, and to be honest, I couldn’t tell you who or what in the org needs to exactly change to get them on the right track considering the team is so quiet about why they do what they do. But if TSM ever wants to be the lions of North America they’ve traditionally been, a big shakeup is all but certainly in order. Not just the coach or a player or two, but the whole organization needs a major shakeup to get out of the stupor it now finds itself in. I don’t think they’ll make it in time to run the Gauntlet, it’s just too soon, but there is hope that Regi and the team can do what’s necessary before the start of Season 10 next year. Based on how things have gone for the team in the past, I honestly don’t think it will, but, as someone who wants to see all the teams be competitive in the league, I pray they do.
