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 information about airsoft guns like pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal handgun and practicing with it can be a game changer in the accuracy of your shots. Pistols, by nature, are diminished range airsoft weapons. They are often made after genuine pistols or copies of actual pistols. A large number of airsoft pistols are completely certified models of their actual firearm equivalents. These airsoft guns can function in the same ways and look and feel almost identically to the real guns they are designed around while blasting airsoft BBs as opposed to real bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these forms of handguns come with benefits and differences associated with them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft handguns lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most standard and long-lasting types of pistols. These pistols use CO2 stored in small cylinders to launch airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These styles of airsoft weapons are good for playing airsoft in cooler weather since the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to FPS decreases by temperature. This offers good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other types of airsoft guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a shiny steel cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of just one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, so the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under extremely high pressure of roughly ~ 800psi that converts to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cylinders cannot be refilled and you can commonly buy them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely inside, once they are punctured (shooting them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are not expended. You must try to run through the entire CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas if the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the gun stops shooting airsoft BBs.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are kept sealed. They are made with a maker’s expiration date typically printed on the box or cartridge, however they will probably maintain pressure for a prolonged period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft sidearms function similarly to CO2 guns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane for propellant to propel the airsoft pellets. The outcome on airsoft games and green gas handgun operation is basically the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are efficiently fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and precisely hit targets at very short to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is sealed in the pistol’s grip within the magazine which can typically hold between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending upon the handgun design. A series of valves, silicone gaskets, and o-rings keep the propane sealed in the magazine until the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great plan to top off and refill your green gas supply in the mag each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding players can even bring surplus bottles of propane gas in the field for refilling mags in-between lulls in the battle or between missions.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a primary or backup weapon, additional handgun mags are suggested for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra magazines on-hand helps you get back in the action during firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not enabled to be used for indoor engagements. This is a safety guideline due to the close range proximity of players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different sorts of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas usually performs effectively on the airsoft field, it does have drawbacks. When green gas and GBB guns are used in the winter in the snow or in cold weather (like below 32 degrees F). Because the green gas or propane gas is kept in the magazine by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, low temperatures can negatively impact the seals and trigger the stored gas to leak out prior to shooting. This can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather conditions).
One option to fix this issue is to try to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by putting them next to a heater or by your body just before the game play. This can help to heat up the seals and help to seal in the green gas. It might also be worth buying a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol if you actually want to play airsoft with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and perform much better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Details
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong coil springs that propel the airsoft BBs down the gun barrel. They are typically one shot. The manual functioning of reloading, cocking, and firing spring pistols makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. When engaging other airsoft players on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles like auto airsoft AEG assault rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns, this can make spring airsoft guns enjoyable to use, however less efficient.
Spring handguns perform the best in springer battles where opponents can only use related, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters combat backup gun for CQB environments when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast second followup shot will not be called for because the other person is already hit and out of the game play or headed back to respawn. Look out when attacking a number of enemies because the spring gun only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring handguns are incredibly efficient under the most ideal conditions. Their FPS commonly chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12g airsoft BBs. These handguns usually fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs because the pitched springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring pistols can generally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to hit targets reduces rapidly. Shooting regular 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a range of around 60 to 80 feet with improved precision.
About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring into the field as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They function similar to an AEG rifle and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG handgun magazines usually hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute assuming you have enough spare magazines to maintain the ammo supply and the battery holds out that long. These AEP handguns can efficiently shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually increased substantially in the last few years. The first generation AEP guns were a bit sketchy and undependable, but the newer designs have the deficiencies worked out and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be improved with increased mag capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A huge advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the connections to use a more robust battery with higher mAh. Based on the AEG handgun model, you are able to gain a big boost in efficiency using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock mini battery. Take care of customizing the parts and wires because you need to take into account the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. Ask an expert weapon service technician at your local airsoft shop if you have modding problems.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me?
Picking the most ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends upon how much you can afford, how often you intend to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. If you can use more than one-hundred dollars to invest in your airsoft pistol, look at a green gas blowback pistol or AEP handgun. These are usually the top of the line, have the greatest build qualities, and can be a great pistol to buy. If you have around more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to spend, look into a CO2 handgun or cheaper green gas pistol. These will still finish the job and can be pretty durable sidearms. Look for a cheaper CO2 or spring pistol if you have fifty dollars or less. You can still get a resilient airsoft pistol to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
