Electric Pistols (AEP)
Automatic Electric Pistols , abbreviated AEPs, was
first introduced by Tokyo Marui in 2005 with their Glock 18C.They were the
first handguns to incorporate an electric powered system that is capable of
fully-automatic operation.
In cold weather, AEPs are often
considered better sidearms than gas powered pistols, because batteries are
not as badly affected by frigid weather. Because the gearbox and battery are
smaller, the velocity of the pellets is relatively slow for
airsoft play.
However, the advanced hop up units
on these new guns tend to compensate for the low power and can produce an
effective range comparable to those of an AEG
The velocity of an AEP is usually
between 200 to 280 ft/s (85.3 m/s).
