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.

How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Find out about airsoft sidearms and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the best sidearm can make an impact in blasting your shots. Sidearms, naturally, are much shorter range airsoft guns. They are typically created after real world pistols or clones of actual handguns. Quite a few airsoft pistols are completely licensed adaptations of their genuine pistol equivalents. These airsoft guns can handle in the same ways and look almost identically to the real guns they are designed around while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a number of types of airsoft pistols such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these varieties of sidearms have negatives and positives associated with them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft pistols helps you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most sturdy and popular types of sidearms. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These types of airsoft pistols are good for playing in cooler weather because the pressurized CO2 gas is less prone to performance variations caused by temperature levels. This fact gives CO2 airsoft pistols exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other sorts of handguns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a shiny cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 cartridge cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can typically buy them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely within, once they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You ought to try to run through the whole CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas leftover, use the chance to do some handgun accuracy and target practice and burn up the remainder of the extra gas. There is no gas level sign on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the pistol stops cycling.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They do have a manufacturer’s expiry date normally printed on the box or cartridge cylinder, however they will probably last for an extended time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft sidearms are similar to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane for propellant to fire the airsoft BBs. The outcome on gameplay and green gas handgun effectiveness is virtually the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are rapidly fired in automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at very short to mid-range distances.
The propane is stashed in the pistol’s mag which can often hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the handgun type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the magazine till the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or primary weapon, bringing additional handgun magazines is highly recommended for quickly reloading. Having extra mags on-hand helps you re-engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not allowed to be used during indoor game play. This is an essential safety standard because of the close quarters proximity of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various sorts of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane is housed in the magazine by using rubber o-rings, seals, and silicone gaskets, cold temperatures can influence these o-rings and allow the stored gas to leak out prior to shooting the handgun. This lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to merely land a few feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the GBB handgun would normally shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One fix for this problem is to try to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them near your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to warm the rubber gaskets and better seal in the green gas. It might also be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite pistol if you actually want to play airsoft with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun shoots much better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Details About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful coil springs that launch the airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. They are normally one shot. The manual functioning of reloading, firing, and cocking spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. When dealing with opponents on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles like fully automatic airsoft AEG assault rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols, this can make them entertaining to use, but less efficient.
Spring guns work most effectively in springer wars where players can just use comparable, single shot spring handguns or as an alternative backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently surprise other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick second follow-up shot isn’t needed considering that the other opponent is already hit by the first shot and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. When engaging several players because the spring gun just shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring guns are quite useful under the best conditions. Spring guns like pistols can often shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to hit targets reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Details
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to bring as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s handle. They work similar to an AEG rifle and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun mags usually hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs as high as about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends if you have enough magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 rounds) and the battery lasts that long. These AEP handguns can precisely fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually risen substantially in the last few years. The early generation AEP guns were a little bit undependable and sketchy, but the newer models have the issues resolved and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be improved with enhanced mag storage capacities along with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A huge advantage 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 pistol type, you can get a sizable output in functionality by employing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Buy?
If you have $100 or more to spend on your airsoft pistol, check out a GBB pistol or automatic electric handgun. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to upgrade your gun, check out a CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB handgun. You can still get a long lasting airsoft handgun by checking out lower end pistols and by shopping for used pistols if you need to save money.
