Green Gas KWA H&K USP Tactical Pistol FPS-410 Blowback Airsoft Gun
Airsoft Pistol Product Features
This is a Green Gas Airsoft Pistol which means that it uses Green Gas as a propellant. It shoots hard and fast and is extremely lifelike. One feature many Green Gas 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 Green Gas Airsoft Pistol doesn’t require any pumping just simply point and shoot. This is a high end Green Gas 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 Green Gas for this gun separately.
How to Pick an Airsoft Handgun
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 fully manufacturer licensed replications of their authentic gun equivalents and run and look in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a few varieties of airsoft pistols including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these kinds of handguns have negatives and positives connected with them. Learning more about the kinds of airsoft handguns allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most heavy duty and standard types of handguns. These pistols use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to force airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These forms of airsoft weapons are exceptional for playing in cold weather since the pressurized CO2 gas is less susceptible to performance decreases caused by temperature. This fact offers very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other varieties of guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny steel cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas made up of 1 carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, therefore the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under really high pressure of close to ~ 800psi that translates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but as soon as they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are stored sealed. They do have a supplier’s expiration date usually listed on the box or cartridge, however, they will likely survive for a long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns function similarly to CO2 guns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane for propellant to fire the airsoft pellets. The operational impact on game play and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic shooting modes and accurate at very short to mid-range ranges.
The propane is stored in the handgun’s magazine that can commonly hold between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol style. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the gas stored in the mag before the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When running a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a backup or primary gun, extra magazines are strongly recommended for rapidly reloading. Having extra magazines helps you reengage in the action throughout firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are usually not allowed to be used during indoor shooting. This is an essential safety guideline due to the close range proximity of players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy sending the BB lower compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different types of green gas airsoft pistols. To start with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns run like a realistic handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The gas induces the slide to cycle every time a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. The result is very cool, but the pistols frequently are more expensive and likely have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback guns usually cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same when comparing the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas generally performs very well, it does have limits. This includes when they are used in the winter airsoft season in the snow or in very cold temperatures (like less than 32 degrees F). Because the green gas or propane is kept in the magazine by silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, the cold can negatively impact these seals and allow the gas to seep out before firing the handgun. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot several feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would ordinarily shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer temps).
One option to fix this challenge is to try to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by putting them next to a heat source or by your body before game play. This can help to warm the seals, gaskets, and valves and better seal in the green gas. It may also be worth buying a CO2 version of your preferred handgun if you really prefer to play with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and these guns shoot much better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that send the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual functioning of firing, reloading, and cocking spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB guns.
Spring airsoft guns perform the best in springer wars where airsoft players can solely use related, single shot spring pistols or as a transition weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a rapid 2nd followup shot isn’t required since the other player is already hit by the first BB and out of the game or going back to respawn. Look out when engaging a number of players considering that the spring airsoft gun only shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring guns are quite useful under the proper scenarios and airsoft games. Their FPS often chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These weapons generally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring pistols can normally be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to engage targets accurately is reduced rapidly. Shooting standard 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a decreased range of about 60 to 80 feet or less with increased accuracy.
About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to use as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They work similar to an AEG rifle and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags typically hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually risen considerably over the last few years. The initial gen guns were a bit undependable and questionable, but the more recent models have most of the problems worked out and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be upgraded with enhanced mag storage capacities and by accommodating larger batteries.
A significant benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the connectors to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG handgun model, you can gain a sizable output in efficiency by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the stock battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Play with?
Deciding on the ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you can afford, how often you wish to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. If you can use $100 or more to spend on your airsoft pistol, consider a green gas blowback or GBB handgun or AEP handgun. These kinds of handguns are normally the top-tier guns, have great performance, and can be an excellent airsoft gun to invest in. If you have around more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to spend on upgrading your airsoft arsenal, look into a CO2 pistol or a less expensive green gas blowback pistol. These will still finish the job and can be long lasting sidearms. If you have fifty dollars or less, find a cheap CO2 or springer handgun. You can still buy a sturdy airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
