Refurbished CO2 WG Mini Tactical Black Pistol FPS-500 Airsoft Gun
Airsoft Pistol Product Features
This is a CO2 powered Airsoft Pistol which means that it uses CO2 Gas as a propellant. It shoots hard and fast and is extremely lifelike. One feature many CO2 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 CO2 Airsoft Pistol doesn’t require any pumping just simply point and shoot. This is a high end CO2 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 CO2 for this gun separately.
About Airsoft Handgun Kinds
Learn more about airsoft sidearms and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the right pistol can make a big difference in blasting your shots. Sidearms, by nature, are short range airsoft guns. They are frequently created after firearm pistols or miniatures of actual pistols. Numerous airsoft sidearms are fully certified adaptations of their real pistol counterparts. These airsoft guns can visually appear and function (without shooting bullets) in the same ways almost identically to the real guns they are modeled around while blasting airsoft BBs instead of real world bullets.
There are a few varieties of airsoft sidearms consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these styles of handguns come with negatives and positives associated with them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft pistols allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most long-lasting and popular types of sidearms. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These styles of airsoft weapons are great choices for airsoft games in cold and snowy weather conditions considering that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance variations with low temperatures. This fact provides excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for example where other kinds of airsoft handguns like green gas stop operating or hardly shoot airsoft BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas made up of 1 carbon atom and two oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, however when they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge 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 extra gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They come with a manufacturer’s expiry date usually noted on the box or cartridge cylinder, but they will maintain pressure for a long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, but they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is practically the very same as CO2 pistols with the weapons around 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is kept in the pistol’s magazine that can normally hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol design. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the magazine till the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When bringing a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a main or secondary gun, bringing extra mags is suggested for quickly reloading. Having extra magazines allows you to get back in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are generally not enabled to be used for indoor gameplay. This is a safety guideline because of the close quarters distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy sending the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns operate like a genuine handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane induces the slide to cycle each time when a fresh airsoft BB is chambered. The result is very cool, however the guns frequently are more expensive and potentially have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns have a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback weapons normally cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same when comparing the two types of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane gas is stored in the handgun magazine using rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, cold weather can impact these o-rings and allow the stored gas to escape before shooting the pistol. This can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the green gas pistol would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One option to this issue is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by putting them next to your body before game play. If you really desire to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite handgun.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong coil springs that fire the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual functioning of cocking, firing, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns.
Spring handguns perform the best in springer battles where airsoft players can just use comparable, single shot spring handguns or as an alternative backup weapon for CQB environments when you can frequently surprise other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a rapid 2nd follow-up shot is not called for because the other person is now hit by the first shot and out of the game or running back to respawn. Beware when attacking a number of enemies due to the fact that the weapon only shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring handguns are quite reliable under the best game conditions. Their FPS typically chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These weapons generally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the springs are less effective than other types of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring guns can typically be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but precision is reduced rapidly. Using standard 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a reduced shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet or less with improved target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to use as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They work just like an AEG gun and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol mags generally store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs right up to about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough spare magazines to maintain the ammo supply and the battery lasts that long. These AEP pistols can efficiently shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually increased considerably in recent years. The early gen guns were a bit undependable and sketchy, however the latest models have the bugs resolved and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be upgraded with maximized magazine storage capacities as well as accommodating bigger batteries.
A massive advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the connectors to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun design, you can get a sizable output in functionality by taking advantage of a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Buy?
Choosing the most ideal airsoft handgun for you depends upon your gun budget, how often you would like to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. Check out a GBB green gas pistol or AEP pistol if you have over $100 to invest on your airsoft pistol. These kinds of guns are normally the top of the line, have the best efficiency, and are usually a great gun to get. If you have about fifty to one-hundred dollars to devote to your airsoft gun purchase, have a look at a CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB pistol. These guns will still work well and will be pretty tough sidearms. If you have less than fifty dollars, look for a cheaper CO2 or spring pistol. You can still find a dependable airsoft handgun to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
