Airsoft lingo

CQB- close quarter battle. It is like close ranged combat of that helps.

TBB- tight-bore barrel. The circjmference of the barrel is smaller, depending on the type. Increases accuracy.

FPS- feet per second. The speed in which the bb travels through the air.

DMR- designated marksmen rifle. A rifle that has extended range. Can be used to pick out snipers or other DMR's. 

GBB- gas blow back. Refers to any gas powered gun that has a blowback action. Most common in pistols, with the slide racking back and to it's original position like real steel pistols

NBB- non blow back. Refers to any gas powered gun that lacks a blowback action. Revolvers can be found in this category. NBB's often can get more shots off on one fill of gas than GBB's

CO2- carbon dioxide. Refers to gas powered guns that run exclusively on CO2 gas. Are the most powerful gas guns in airsoft

Real Steel- in airsoft, this means the actual version of airsoft replicas. Aka "real steel"

RPS/RPM- rounds per second/minute. referring to the fire rate of a given airsoft weapon

Green Gas - main components are Propane and Silicon. Works basically the same, however the silicon will make sure that when the gas passes through, it also passes some silicon along with it. This helps makes sure your O-rings and such are kept in good condition. You can find a good video here:
