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.
How to Choose an Airsoft Pistol
Find information about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as extra guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft handguns are fully manufactured and licensed releases of their actual gun counterparts and function and look in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are several kinds of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these varieties of sidearms have negatives and positives related to them. Learning about the varieties of airsoft pistols helps you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most typical and tough types of pistols. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These styles of airsoft pistols are very good for playing airsoft in cooler weather conditions because the pressurized CO2 gas is less vulnerable to variation caused by low temperatures. This fact offers exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other sorts of airsoft guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely fire airsoft BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas made up of a single carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 cartridges cannot be used multiple times and you can normally buy them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely inside, once they are punctured (firing them in an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not expended. You ought to attempt to dissipate the whole CO2 cartridge the 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 matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the weapon stops shooting.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They do have the manufacturer’s expiry date usually printed on the package or cylinder, however they may last for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns resemble CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot the airsoft pellets. The operational impact on gameplay and green gas handgun efficiency is just about the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS. Shots are rapidly fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and precisely hit targets at very short to mid-range distances.
The propane gas is stashed in the pistol’s airsoft magazine which can normally hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the pistol design. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the magazine before the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup gun, additional handgun magazines are suggested for quickly reloading. Having additional mags on-hand allows you to reengage in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not authorized to be used during indoor shooting. This is a safety standard due to the close range proximity of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB lower compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various kinds of green gas airsoft handguns. First, there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns function like a realistic pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. When a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas causes the slide to cycle. This functionality is very cool, however the weapons usually cost more and likely have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns have a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns usually cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is housed in the handgun mag by using rubber seals and silicone gaskets, cold temperatures can influence these gaskets and allow the stored gas to escape before shooting the pistol. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this problem is to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by placing them next to your body before game play starts. If you really desire to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it may also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that launch the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual functioning of reloading, firing, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring handguns work most effectively in springer battles where opponents can solely use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters combat weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually surprise other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a rapid second followup shot isn’t required given that the other opponent is already hit by the first BB and out of the game play or moving back to respawn. When engaging multiple rivals considering that the spring airsoft gun only shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring pistols are very efficient under the appropriate circumstances. Their FPS generally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These pistols normally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs since the springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft guns. Spring pistols can generally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to engage targets decreases rapidly. Choosing standard 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a range of about 60 to 80 feet with heightened precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Information
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring into the field as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s handle. They work similar to an AEG rifle and use forced air forced through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun mags usually hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has grown significantly in recent years. The earliest gen AEP guns were a bit unreliable and sketchy, but the new designs have the issues resolved and make effective airsoft secondary guns. They can be modded with enhanced magazine storage capacities as well as accommodating bigger batteries.
A large benefit of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the capacity to rewire the wires to use an enhanced battery with longer life. Depending on the AEG pistol style, you can gain a sizable jump in performance and fire rate by utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the stock mini battery. Beware of changing the elements and the gun’s wires because you have to consider the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. If you have customization concerns, ask a pro weapon service technician at your nearest airsoft store or shop.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Buy?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft handgun, evaluate a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric handgun. If you have in-between $50 to $100 to invest, look at a CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB pistol. If you have less than fifty dollars, you can still find a long lasting airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games.
