This allows you to match your wants with a choice from our list. However, it is also understandable that things can start to get confusing pretty fast!
Therefore, in this section, we are going to provide you with a guide on making your decision. As you know, we divided these guns into categories based on their usage, and then compared them on three key factors — bullet velocity, muzzle energy, and price. With the above information in mind, we recommend you consider one key thing before you make your decision — what do you want out of your gun?
