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.
Airsoft Handgun Design Details
Find info about airsoft sidearms and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the right pistol can make an impact in nailing your shots. Pistols, naturally, are much shorter range airsoft guns. They are normally fashioned after authentic pistols or replicas of genuine handguns. A lot of airsoft pistols are completely certified models of their actual firearm counterparts. These airsoft guns can look and handle in the same ways identical to the real guns they are modeled after while blasting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these types of handguns come with negatives and positives connected with them. Finding out about the varieties of airsoft sidearms allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearm Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are among the most resilient and popular varieties of handguns. They are all-season handguns and work well in a lot of types of weather, varying temperatures, and climates. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is usually stored in the gun’s magazine in the handle.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are good for playing in colder temperatures since the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance variations with low temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft handguns very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other types of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop performing or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a shiny steel cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas made up of one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, consequently the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cylinders under very high pressure of about ~ 800psi that translates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, but when they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge 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 handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are kept sealed. They do have a maker’s expiry date normally printed on the package or cartridge, however, they will last for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistol Details
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 pistols, but they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the exact same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane is held in the handgun’s mag that can typically hold between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the magazine before the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a backup or primary weapon, bringing extra mags is recommended for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional magazines on-hand allows you to reengage in the action during firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles and full-sized AEGs are typically not approved to be used during indoor engagements. This is an essential safety regulation because of the close quarters distance of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various types of green gas airsoft handguns. First, there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns run like a legitimate handgun with the slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane gas induces the slide to cycle every time a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. The result is really cool, but the handguns usually cost more and potentially have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback weapons normally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas normally can be used very well on the airsoft field, it does have drawbacks. When they are used over the winter airsoft games in the snow or in cold weather (such as under 32 deg F). Given that the green gas or propane is held in the weapon’s mag by silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively impact these seals and cause the stored gas to escape before shooting. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this challenge is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by holding them next to your body just before the game play. This can help to heat up the rubber seals and help to seal in the green gas. It might also be worth buying a CO2 version of your favorite handgun if you actually need to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and these guns shoot better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful coil springs that fire the BBs out of the handgun barrel. They are generally able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual functions of reloading, cocking, and shooting spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When dueling players on the airsoft field with fully automatic airsoft AEG assault rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols, this makes spring airsoft pistols enjoyable to use, but less efficient.
Spring guns perform most effectively in springer battles where opponents can only use similar, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters backup gun for CQB buildings when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a quick second followup shot isn’t really needed considering that the other person is now hit and out of the game or moving back to respawn. When engaging many different attackers considering that the spring airsoft gun simply fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring handguns are remarkably reliable under the right circumstances. Spring pistols can usually fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs but target accuracy decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to use as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They work just like an AEG SMG and use pressurized air with electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines usually can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has increased significantly in recent years. The earliest gen guns were a bit unreliable and questionable, however the latest designs have most of the problems resolved and make effective airsoft secondary guns. They can be upgraded with increased magazine capacities and by accommodating more powerful batteries.
A huge advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the connections to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun type, you can gain a huge jump in performance by taking advantage of a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the stock battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Play with?
Finding the best airsoft handgun for you depends on your budget, how much you desire to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. Look at a GBB pistol or AEG pistol if you have more than one-hundred dollars to invest on your airsoft pistol. These guns are typically the best of the best, have the best performance, and can be a good investment. Take a look at a CO2 handgun or less costly GBB pistol if you have between more than $50 but less than $100 to put towards an airsoft gun purchase. Mid-tier guns like these will still finish the job and are sturdy sidearms. If you have fifty dollars or less, look for a lower end CO2 or springer pistol. You can still get a sturdy airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
