used to be into it alot, might get into later in my life again, its a blast if you play with the right people..i was playing with current swat team members and ex-marines and it was great.. especially to see how a group of 8 well trained guys can take out 30 of us shitty guys...
but anyway, for pistols, you pretty much have to go gas, the spring ones are just for plinking around really (and killing bats if you live in this frat house). but if you are actually going to play, the pistol will be your sidearm in most every match (unless of course you are playing a pistol match).
Your primary weapon should be an AEG which uses a battery (usually held in the stock or grip) to drive a motor which pulls back a piston on a spring automatically. The selector switch is fully functional on these, so, depending on the model of gun, say on an m4, you can switch from safe to semi-auto, to auto. some even have the 3-round burst which is cool.
There are only a few gas operated rifle models out there, atleast when i played.
