The famous airsoft sniper rifles are powered by a big heavy spring with a plunger attached at the end. The spring is cocked back when you pull back the bolt on the airsoft sniper rifle (and released when you pull the trigger).

The electric airsoft rifles work in a similar manner, but a battery makes gears move that draws the spring back.
