Spring powered airsoft BB guns need to be cocked before each pellet is fired. On most models the top slide is pulled back, compressing the firing spring, loading the pellet and cocking the gun. Steady your aim on your target and squeeze the trigger.

The power of these guns is normally quite low, as it must be limited to the pull you can apply against the spring. We advise the wearing of safety goggles by everyone present to protect their eyes. If you're hit you'll feel it, but the pellet energy won't normally damage the skin.
