Airsoft Pistol Product Features
This is a Green Gas Airsoft Pistol which means that it uses Green Gas as a propellant. It shoots hard and fast and is extremely lifelike. One feature many Green Gas Airsoft Guns have is blowback, meaning that as the BB is propelled forward the slide thrusts backward mimicking the kick of a real gun! 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.
Info About Airsoft Handgun Designs
Find information about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft pistols are fully manufacturer licensed models of their genuine weapon counterparts and function and look in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are a few varieties of airsoft sidearms including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these kinds of pistols have positives and negatives related to them. Learning about the styles of airsoft sidearms lets you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most heavy-duty and common types of sidearms. These pistols use CO2 stored in small cylinders to launch airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These types of airsoft pistols are great choices for playing airsoft in cold and snowy temperatures considering that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to FPS decreases caused by low temperature. This fact provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other kinds of airsoft handguns like green gas stop working or barely shoot BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metal cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas consisting of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however once they are opened (firing them in an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if they are stored sealed. They are made with the manufacturer’s expiry date usually listed on the package or cartridge cylinder, but they will likely survive for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns resemble CO2 guns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane for propellant to propel the airsoft pellets. The outcome on airsoft games and green gas handgun operation is essentially the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS. Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and precisely hit targets at short to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is sealed in the pistol’s mag and can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ BBs depending upon the pistol model. A set of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the gas stored in the mag up to when the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a good choice to top off and fill up your propane reserves in your mag each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can even take additional bottles of green gas in the field for reloading magazines between breaks in the war or in-between activities.
When using a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a backup or main weapon, additional magazines are suggested for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra mags on-hand helps you get back in the action throughout firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not enabled to be used for indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety rule due to the close quarters distance of players during shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various varieties of green gas airsoft handguns. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns operate like a genuine pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. When a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. This effect is really cool, however the handguns frequently are more expensive and possibly have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback weapons commonly cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two types of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas normally works effectively, it does have limitations. For example, when they are used in the winter airsoft season in the snow or in colder temperatures (like less than 32 degrees F). Considering that the green gas or propane is stored in the mag using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temperatures can affect these seals and make the gas to escape before firing the pistol. This can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One option to fix this challenge is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them next to your body prior to game play. This can help to warm up the seals and valves and better seal in the green gas. It may also be worth checking out a CO2 version of your preferred pistol if you actually want to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and these guns shoot much better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Details About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that send the BBs out of the handgun’s barrel. The manual action of reloading, cocking, and firing spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns.
Spring pistols perform most effectively in springer battles where participants can only use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters combat weapon for CQB environments when you can often sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast 2nd followup shot will not be called for considering that the other person is now hit by the first BB and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. When engaging a number of opponents considering that the gun just fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring pistols are incredibly effective under the most ideal game conditions. Spring guns can normally shoot up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs however target accuracy decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Facts
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring into the field as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They operate similar to an AEG SMG and use forced air forced through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines generally can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute assuming you have enough magazines to reload and the battery lasts that long. These pistols can efficiently fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has increased substantially in recent years. The first generation AEP guns were a bit questionable and unreliable, but the latest models have most of the problems resolved and make efficient airsoft secondary weapons. They can be modded with enhanced mag capacities as well as accommodating more powerful batteries.
A big benefit of using an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun design, you can gain a huge output in performance by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock battery.
What Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Play with?
Picking out the ideal airsoft handgun for you depends upon your budget, how much you wish to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. Take a look at a GBB pistol or AEP pistol if you have more than one-hundred dollars to invest on your airsoft handgun. These kinds of handguns are normally the top-tier guns, have the most effective efficiency, and are usually a great gun to invest in. Look into a CO2 pistol or less costly GBB handgun if you have about fifty to one-hundred dollars to put towards an airsoft gun purchase. These mid-tier guns will still work well and can be pretty durable sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring pistol if you have $50 or less. You can still get a strong airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
