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.

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.
How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Learn about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft handguns are completely certified models of their real pistol counterparts and run and appear in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these forms of handguns come with negatives and positives connected with them. Learning more about the kinds of airsoft pistols lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most dependable and common types of sidearms. These pistols use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to send airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These forms of airsoft pistols are exceptional for airsoft games in cold weather conditions since the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to FPS decreases by low temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft handguns excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other kinds of sidearms like green gas cease to work or hardly fire airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a metallic cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas made up of one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, so the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cylinders under extremely high pressure of around ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cartridge cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can commonly purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but soon after they are punctured (firing them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You need to try to run through the entire CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity 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 guide on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the gun stops firing BBs.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They do have a manufacturer’s use by date normally marked on the package or cartridge, but they will survive for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is virtually the exact same as CO2 handguns with the guns around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s magazine and can commonly hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending upon the handgun model. A sequence of valves, rubberized stoppers, and seals keep the propane pressurized in the pistol mag prior to when the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good choice to top off and refill your green gas reserves in the magazine each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can also bring excess bottles of propane in the field for refilling magazines between lulls in the war or between game play.
When using a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a backup or primary weapon, extra mags are advised for quickly reloading. Having extra magazines on-hand helps you reengage in the action during firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not allowed to be used during indoor engagements. This is an essential safety regulation due to the close quarters proximity of gamers during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB lower compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different styles of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane is stored in the handgun mag by rubber seals and gaskets, the cold can affect these o-rings and cause the gas to escape before shooting the pistol. This can cause the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would usually shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One option to fix this problem is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by putting them inside your jacket next to your body before game play. This can help to warm up the rubber gaskets and help to seal in the green gas. It might also be worth buying a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun if you actually want to play airsoft with a reputable 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.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs that shoot the BBs out of the pistol barrel. The manual action of reloading, firing, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring guns work the best in springer wars where opponents can exclusively use similar, single shot spring guns or as a transition weapon for CQB environments when you can frequently surprise other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick 2nd followup shot is not required given that the other player is now struck and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. When engaging multiple airsoft players given that the spring gun only fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring handguns are remarkably efficient under the best game conditions. Spring handguns can commonly fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs however accuracy reduces rapidly.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to bring into the field as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They operate just like an AEG SMG and use compressed air with electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines typically can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 rounds) and the battery holds out that long. These pistols can efficiently fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has risen significantly in recent years. The earliest generation guns were a bit questionable and undependable, however the more recent versions have most of the problems worked out and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modified with maximized magazine storage capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A huge benefit of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the battery connections to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can gain a big increase in performance by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Buy?
If you have over $100 to use to buy your airsoft pistol, evaluate a green gas blowback handgun or automatic electric handgun. If you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to upgrade your gun, review a CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB handgun. If your gun budget is lower, you can still get a resilient airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games by checking out lower end pistols and by shopping the used gun market.
