This Green Gas Airsoft Pistol doesn’t require any pumping just simply point and shoot. This is a high end Green Gas Airsoft gun. Please only use .20 gram high quality BBs with this item in order to keep it in working order. Using anything else as ammunition for this gun will void the warranty and may cause it to jam. You must be 18 years of age or older to purchase this Airsoft gun. You will need to purchase Green Gas for this gun separately.
Airsoft Handgun Design Additional Information
Find out about airsoft guns like pistols and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best handgun and practicing with it can make all the difference in hitting your shots. Handguns, by nature, are reduced range airsoft guns. They are most often constructed after real world handguns or clones of authentic pistols. Lots of airsoft pistols are fully licensed releases of their genuine gun equivalents. These airsoft guns can function (except for shooting bullets) in the same ways and look and feel identically to the real guns they are modeled after while shooting airsoft BBs as opposed to genuine bullets.
There are several types of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these varieties of pistols has negatives and positives associated with them. Learning about the varieties of airsoft sidearms helps you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most standard and long-lasting types of sidearms. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These types of airsoft handguns are good for playing airsoft in cold and snowy weather conditions because the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to variation caused by low temperatures. This fact gives CO2 airsoft pistols excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other kinds of airsoft handguns like green gas stop working or barely shoot BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a chrome cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas consisting of one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however when they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They are made with a supplier’s expiry date usually marked on the package or cylinder, however, they will probably stay pressurized for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, but they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is practically the very same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is kept in the handgun’s magazine that can normally hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the handgun type. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the magazine till the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a main or backup gun, bringing additional pistol mags is encouraged for rapidly reloading. Having additional magazines on-hand helps you re engage in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not allowed to be used during indoor gameplay. This is a safety standard due to the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different types of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is housed in the pistol mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temps can negatively impact these gaskets and cause the stored gas to leak out before shooting. This lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One fix for this challenge is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by holding them next to a heat source or by your body prior to game play. This can help to warm up the seals and valves and help to seal in the green gas. If you definitely want to play airsoft with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold, it can also be worth checking out a CO2 version of your favorite handgun. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun shoots far better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Info
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong springs that shoot the BBs out of the gun barrel. The manual action of cocking, firing, and reloading spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB guns.
Spring pistols work the best in springer battles where participants can only use comparable, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters backup gun for CQB settings when you can often surprise other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast second followup shot is not needed because the other opponent is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game play or running back to respawn. Take care when fighting many different adversaries since the spring airsoft gun only shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring pistols are very useful under the most ideal situations. Spring guns can commonly fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however accuracy decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Information
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to use as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They operate similar to an AEG gun and use forced air pumped through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun mags generally carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs right up to about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends if you have enough magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 rounds) and the battery maintains its charge that long. These handguns can accurately shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has risen substantially over the last few years. The earliest gen AEP guns were a bit sketchy and undependable, but the newer models have most of the deficiencies resolved and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be modded with maximized mag capacities in addition to accommodating larger batteries.
A huge perk of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the connections to use a more substantial battery with higher mAh. Depending upon the AEG pistol style, you may be able to get a big jump in performance by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock AEP battery. Take extra precautions when customizing the elements and the gun’s wires since you must take into consideration the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. Ask a pro airsoft tech at your closest airsoft shop or store if you have customization questions.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Play with?
Selecting the best airsoft handgun for you depends on your budget, how often you want to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. Take a look at a GBB handgun or AEP handgun if you have more than one-hundred dollars to invest on your airsoft pistol. These kinds of handguns are usually the top-tier guns, have the greatest build qualities, and could be a good airsoft gun to invest in. If you have in-between more than $50 but less than $100 to use for your gun, have a look at a CO2 handgun or a cheaper green gas handgun. These will still be fun to play with and will be pretty durable sidearms. Look for a cheap CO2 or spring handgun if you have fifty dollars or less. You can still get a long lasting airsoft pistol to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
