| Huh? You are new aren't you. Answers are all here, keep reading . Green gas guns is a term I haven't heard yet. There are compressed air, carbon dioxide, and compressed nitrogen currently being used. |

Hi
Airguns tend to shoot a lead pellet using compressed air or Co2 gas, Airsoft shoot a 6mm plastic ball and use green gas and propane plus a winter gas I think, BB Guns run on Co2 gas and shoot a 4mm steel ball, although some BB guns shoot both BBs on auto and lead pellets single shot.
BTW Welcome to AirGunHome.

Thanks you for the info, I greatly appreciate it. So what do you prefer? 6 mm plastic or 4 mm steel? |

I not a big fan of either, 6mm Airsoft is usually used for live combat similar to paint ball, I do have a BB gun but find that the steel balls tend to ricochet all over the place, so I stick to my air rifles and pistols.
