Gas, Electric or Spring?

Well I am planning on purchasing my first airsoft gun, and am wondering, Gas, Electric or Spring. State your opinion and why...

Depends what you want to do.
You're gonna get flamed.
Read, don't talk.

Spring = Quiet, simple (less parts break), single shot, accurate. Primarily for sniper use.

Gas = 'Cool down effect' most useful on semi-automatic only. Not very useful in the winter when it is cold (gas is at low pressure) Primarily used for pistols, snipers and shotguns.

Electric (AEG) = Automatic/Semi-automatic. Not effected by cold, upgradeable more than any of the above. Relatively cheap to fix, easy to use. By far most effective for the normal player. Primarily used in assault rifles.

Do you prefer reading what is already written by yourself, being told to read by yourself, or being spoonfed?

Posting this twice was not brilliant.

thats not true... AEG uses batteries to drive the motor. and since temperature can also affect battery life, coldness can affect the AEG same as coldness can affect a gas airsoft. The colder the temperature, the less you can shoot with 1 charge with the battery...

weather affects gas more than it affects AEGs by quite a large margin
