Airsoft Pistol Product Details
CO2 WG WC 303 FPS-350 Full Metal Airsoft Pistol
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.
Airsoft Handgun Variety Details
Learn more about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the best handgun can be a game changer in nailing your shots. Sidearms, naturally, are much shorter range airsoft guns. They are most often made after real-world sidearms or clones of genuine handguns. Quite a few airsoft handguns are completely licensed adaptations of their real world pistol counterparts. These airsoft guns can visually look and function in the same ways almost identically to the real guns they are designed around while blasting airsoft BBs in place of genuine bullets.
There are several kinds of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these types of handguns has negatives and positives connected with them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft pistols helps you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most standard and long lasting types of sidearms. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to send airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These styles of airsoft weapons are excellent for playing in colder weather considering that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to performance variations with temperature levels. This fact provides very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other sorts of pistols like green gas stop working or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas consisting of just one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cartridges cannot be used multiple times and you can commonly buy them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, once they are punctured (firing them in an airsoft handgun breaks the seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You must attempt to consume the entire CO2 cartridge the exact 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 games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the weapon stops firing.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if they are kept sealed. They have a supplier’s expiry date typically marked on the package or cartridge, however they can survive for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns function similarly to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane for propellant to fire the airsoft BBs. The outcome on airsoft games and green gas handgun functionality is basically the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or automatic firing modes and can hit targets at very short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s mag which can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ BBs based on the handgun style. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the propane gas pressurized in the pistol mag until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good choice to top off and fill up your green gas in your magazine each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can even take excess bottles of propane in the field for refilling mags in-between lulls in the fight or in-between game play.
When bringing a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a primary or backup gun, bringing additional handgun magazines is recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra magazines allows you to re-engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields given that long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not enabled to be used for indoor game play. This is an essential safety regulation because of the close quarters distance of players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various forms of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols run like a real pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. Every time a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. The result is extremely cool, however the GBB guns often are more expensive and potentially have more parts which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols typically cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two varieties of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is kept in the magazine using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, the cold can affect these seals and cause the gas to leak out before shooting the gun. This can make the airsoft BBs to simply land a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the green gas pistol would usually shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One fix for this issue is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them next to a heat source or by your body just before the airsoft game play. This can help to warm the rubber gaskets and help to seal in the green gas. It can also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun if you actually need to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun shoots much better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Info on Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong coil springs that fire the BBs out of the handgun barrel. They are typically able to only shoot one BB. The manual action of cocking, reloading, and firing spring guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. This makes spring guns fun to use, but they are usually less practical when shooting at adversaries on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons and fully automatic airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring sidearms perform best in springer wars where opponents can solely use comparable, single shot spring weapons or as an alternative backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick second followup shot is not really needed because the other person is already hit by the first BB and out of the game or moving back to respawn. When engaging multiple enemies considering that the springer only fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring guns are very efficient under the most ideal conditions during games. Spring guns can often shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to hit targets reduces quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to bring as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They work just like an AEG rifle and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun magazines normally hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs right up to around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute assuming you have enough spare magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery holds out that long. These pistols can effectively shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually increased substantially over the last few years. The first generations were a little bit undependable and questionable, however the new models have most of the problems resolved and make effective airsoft backup guns. They can be further modded with enhanced magazine storage capacities and also accommodating larger batteries.
A large advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the battery wires to use an enhanced battery with longer life. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you may be able to get a sizable output in functionality by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the standard AEP battery. Take extra precautions when tweaking the elements and the gun’s wires because you have to take into consideration the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. If you have modding concerns, ask an experienced airsoft service tech at your nearest airsoft shop or store.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Buy?
Looking for the right airsoft handgun for you depends upon how much you can afford to spend, how much you wish to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. Look into a GBB green gas pistol or AEG handgun if you have more than one-hundred dollars to invest on your airsoft handgun. These are normally the top-tier guns, have the best performance, and are usually a good gun to get. Look at a CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB pistol if you have about $50 to $100 to buy a gun. Middle of the road guns like these will still finish the job and will be pretty resilient sidearms. Look for a low end CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than $50. You can still find a strong airsoft handgun to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
