Today we take for granted the availability of realistic Airsoft replicas that often take the place of guns many of us probably cant afford or will never own. In the early 1980's spring powered Airsoft guns began to emerge in the market for the first time in the US. I personally had the MP5K listed above and it was quite fun. They used a plastic cartridge about the size of a standard 9mm round and the 6mm BB was placed in the front of the cartridge. The fore-grip served as a handle for the pump action and the shell ejected after firing. Some of the Plug Firing Cap (PFC) guns, such as the M11 pictured above, had been in the country for some time and enjoyed use by collectors. I'll be hosting a few pictures from some of the main distributors of PFC guns at the era, including the Collectors Armory.
