Airsoft Primary and Secondary Guns


 

What is a Primary and a Secondary Gun in Airsoft Game Use?

When you are using Airsoft guns, there are quite a few things that you want to take into consideration.

It is important for you to think about the way that you will have your guns, and the way that the guns will work, so that you can be sure they are going to be the best option for you.

When you are looking at purchasing airsoft guns, one of the things that you will have to think about (that you might not have thought of otherwise!) is that you are probably going to be using airsoft primary and secondary guns.

 


Why Do I Need Secondary and Primary Guns?

Airsoft primary and secondary guns are the weapons that you use when you are playing a game that involves airsoft guns. These types of guns could also be used in any other activity that involves having guns and using them in a strategic manner.

The concept and usage of primary and secondary guns are most useful when you are actually going to be participating in activities such as maneuvers (or in training).

This is because these are additional, extra guns that you can use alternatively instead of having to stop (during game play) and take a break to reload or to fix your gun.

 


Primary Airsoft Guns

Your primary airsoft gun is the shooting weapon that you start off shooting - the gun that you typically begin using right away as you start your game.

This is going to be your primary gun, and if all goes well, this will be the gun that you will continue to use throughout your game. However, in some situations you might need to switch to your secondary airsoft gun.

 


Airsoft Secondary Guns

The secondary airsoft gun is the one that you are going to be using if and when you need to switch from your primary one to another gun.

This is why it is called a secondary gun - because it is used second (or next). The secondary airsoft gun is usually a pistol, revolver, or another smaller weapon that you can carry on you (via vest, ghillie wrap, etc), even when you are using your primary airsoft gun.

It is important to have both a primary and secondary airsoft gun, for many reasons.

First of all, you want to be sure that you have a primary airsoft gun that you know and handle very well.

This is important because it allows you to make sure that you have a chance to learn how to use your gun well and really understand how to work it!

Your primary gun should be what you practice with, and what you spend a lot of time working with, using, and learning more advanced skills.

However, your secondary gun should also be a gun that you know very well, are comfortable with, and one that you are able to operate easily and quickly.

You want your secondary gun to be like a second skin, as you will need to be able to use it on the draw and without too much thought.

Therefore, both your primary and secondary airsoft gun should be guns that you are happy and cozy with, as well as guns that you can use correctly without any confusions.

There are several things that you want to remember when you are looking at primary airsoft guns versus secondary airsoft guns.

First of all, they can be any type of airsoft gun, depending on what you are using it for. Most of the time, a secondary gun is the one that is easier to carry along with you, but with carrying straps and other accessories, you can make sure that any of your guns are just as easy to carry as any other ones. Therefore, you shouldn't choose your gun based solely on its ability to be carried easily.

What you should choose your primary and secondary airsoft guns on is the fact that they are easy for you to use. They should be somewhat interchangeable as well - if you can use some of the same accessories with your primary and secondary guns, it will make it easier to use them without too much hassle, and to switch from one gun to another easily.

When you are engaging in a game that uses airsoft guns, or in a training episode that also uses them, it is important to think about having both primary and secondary airsoft guns. This will ensure that you feel very comfortable out on the fields, as well as having enough gun power to last you throughout each of your airsoft games.
