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 Pistol
Learn about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft pistols are fully licensed releases of their authentic gun counterparts and look and run in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than actual bullets.
There are a number of varieties of airsoft pistols including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these kinds of handguns have negatives and positives related to them. Finding out about the kinds of airsoft pistols helps you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most popular and long-lasting types of pistols. These pistols use CO2 stored in small cylinders to launch airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These forms of airsoft weapons are good for playing in cold weather conditions considering that the pressurized CO2 gas is less vulnerable to performance variations by temperature levels. This gives CO2 airsoft handguns excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other sorts of airsoft handguns like green gas stop working or barely fire BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a shiny steel cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas consisting of a single carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridges under extremely high pressure of around ~ 800psi that translates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, but the moment they are opened (firing them in an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They are made with the supplier’s expiration date normally printed on the box or cartridge cylinder, but they may maintain pressure for a very long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns function similarly to CO2 guns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane for propellant to propel 6mm airsoft pellets. The outcome on airsoft games and green gas weapon functionality is basically the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are efficiently fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at shorter to mid-range ranges.
The propane is kept in the handgun’s magazine which can often hold around 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the pistol model. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the gas stored in the magazine before the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When carrying a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a backup or primary gun, additional magazines are highly recommended for rapidly reloading. Having additional magazines helps you re engage in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not permitted to be used during indoor game play. This is a safety guideline because of the close quarters distance of players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy propelling 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 two different varieties of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Since the green gas or propane is kept in the magazine by using rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, the cold can negatively affect these gaskets and cause the stored gas to escape prior to shooting the gun. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the green gas handgun would typically shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One option to this issue is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by holding them next to your body or by a heater before the airsoft game play. If you really need to play with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold, it might also be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that fire the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual actions of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB guns.
Spring airsoft guns perform the best in springer wars where players can only use related, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters combat weapon for CQB environments when you can often surprise other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick 2nd followup shot is not really needed due to the fact that the other opponent is already hit and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. Take care when fighting many different players since the weapon only shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring handguns are really effective under the appropriate circumstances. Their FPS usually chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These weapons normally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the pitched 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 however the ability to engage targets is reduced quickly. Shooting standard 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a decreased shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet or less with improved target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to use as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They function similar to an AEG gun and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines typically hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough spare magazines to reload with and the battery lasts that long. These AEP handguns can precisely fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has risen substantially recently. The early generation AEP guns were a bit questionable and undependable, however the more recent designs have most of the bugs resolved and make effective airsoft secondary guns. They can be further upgraded with increased mag capacities along with accommodating larger batteries.
A significant benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the connectors to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG handgun type, you can gain a sizable output in efficiency by using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me?
Deciding on the best airsoft handgun for you depends on how much you can afford to spend, how often you desire to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. If you can use more than $100 to spend on your airsoft handgun, look into a green gas blowback pistol or AEG handgun. These guns are normally the top-tier guns, have the most effective performance, and can be an excellent investment. Look into a CO2 pistol or less costly GBB pistol if you have in-between $50 to $100 to buy a gun. Mid-tier guns like these will still function well and are tough sidearms. Look for a cheap CO2 or spring handgun if you have $50 or less. You can still get a sturdy airsoft pistol to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
