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.
How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Find information about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft handguns are fully manufacturer licensed editions of their real gun counterparts and look and function in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a number of types of airsoft sidearms including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these types of handguns have benefits and differences associated with them. Finding out about the kinds of airsoft pistols allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most heavy duty and popular types of handguns. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These kinds of airsoft guns are exceptional for playing airsoft in cooler temperatures since the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance decreases with low temperatures. This provides good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other styles of airsoft guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely fire airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a metallic cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, as a result of the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridges under very high pressure of around ~ 800psi that converts to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, but the moment they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) they will start 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.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They are made with a manufacturer’s best used by date normally printed on the package or cartridge cylinder, however they will likely survive for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handgun Information
Green gas airsoft pistols resemble CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft pellets. The operational impact on game play and green gas weapon functionality is basically the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or automatic shooting modes and accurate at short to mid-range proximities.
The propane is held in the handgun’s airsoft mag that can commonly hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol model. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the mag until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When running a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a main or secondary gun, bringing extra magazines is recommended for quickly reloading. Having additional mags on-hand helps you re-engage in the action throughout firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are generally not authorized to be used during indoor engagements. This is an essential safety regulation because of the close range proximity of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a lower level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different sorts of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is held in the pistol mag by using rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, cold temps can negatively influence these gaskets and allow the gas to leak out before shooting the gun. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the handgun would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One fix for this problem is to try to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by placing them next to a heat source or by your body prior to game play. This can help to warm up the seals and help to seal in the green gas. If you honestly prefer to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun will shoot much better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that send the BBs out of the gun’s barrel. The manual functions of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols.
Spring handguns perform best in springer battles where opponents can only use similar, single shot spring guns or as a transitional backup weapon for CQB settings when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast 2nd followup shot will not be required given that the other opponent is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game play or headed back to respawn. When engaging numerous adversaries considering that the spring airsoft gun simply fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring guns are incredibly efficient under the proper circumstances and airsoft games. Their FPS normally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These handguns usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the pitched springs are less effective than other types of airsoft weapons. Spring handguns can usually engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to hit targets accurately reduces quickly. Choosing regular 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a reduced range of about 60 to 80 feet or less with improved precision.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring into the field as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They work much like an AEG rifle and use forced air forced through electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG handgun magazines usually carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough magazines to reload the gun and the battery lasts that long. These handguns can accurately fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually grown substantially recently. The earliest gens were a bit questionable and unreliable, but the new versions have the problems worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further upgraded with enhanced mag storage capacities in addition to accommodating larger batteries.
A big advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the connectors to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol design, you can get a huge output in performance by adopting a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Buy?
Looking for the most ideal airsoft pistol for you depends on how much you can afford to spend, how much you plan to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. If you have over $100 to invest in your airsoft handgun, take a look at a green gas blowback or GBB handgun or AEG handgun. These guns are usually the best of the best, have the greatest efficiency, and are usually an excellent airsoft gun to invest in. Check out a CO2 handgun or less costly GBB handgun if you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend. These guns will still work well and are pretty resilient sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still buy a long-lasting airsoft handgun to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
