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.
Info About Airsoft Pistol Styles
Learn about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as extra weapons or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft handguns are fully accredited variations of their authentic gun counterparts and look and function in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are several kinds of airsoft pistols including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these forms of sidearms has negatives and positives connected with them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft handguns allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearm Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are among the most tough and typical types of handguns. They are all season guns and work well in many kinds of weather and climates. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is normally housed in the pistol’s mag inside the handle.
These types of airsoft handguns are very good for playing airsoft in colder weather conditions due to the fact that the pressurized CO2 gas is less sensitive to FPS decreases caused by low temperatures. This offers excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other sorts of handguns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly shoot airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a chrome metal cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, and so the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under really high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, however as soon as they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the seal) they will begin 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 excess gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if they are kept sealed. They do have the manufacturer’s expiration date usually listed on the package or cylinder, but they will likely survive for a long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns function similarly to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to fire the airsoft BBs. The operational impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon effectiveness is just about the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and accurate at short to mid-range ranges.
The propane is stored in the pistol’s magazine that can typically hold between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol style. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the mag until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When bringing a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a main or backup weapon, bringing additional magazines is advised for quickly reloading. Having additional magazines allows you to re engage in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles and full-sized AEGs are typically not permitted to be used for indoor engagements. This is an essential safety guideline due to the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy moving the BB lower compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various styles of green gas airsoft handguns. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns run like a real handgun with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. Every time a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. This functionality is very cool, however the handguns typically are more expensive and likely have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback guns generally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same between the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is kept in the handgun magazine using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can negatively affect these seals and allow the stored gas to leak out before shooting the handgun. The lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when it would normally shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One solution to this issue is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by putting them next to your body just before the game play. This can help to heat up the seals and valves and better seal in the green gas. It can also be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite handgun if you actually want to play airsoft with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun will shoot far better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong coil springs that launch the airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are normally one shot. The manual action of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring airsoft guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. When fighting other players on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles, fully automatic airsoft AEG rifles, SMGs, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns, this makes them enjoyable to use, however less effective.
Spring guns perform best in springer battles where opponents can solely use related, single shot spring weapons or as an alternative weapon for CQB buildings when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a rapid second followup shot isn’t needed because the other opponent is now hit and out of the game or running back to respawn. When engaging numerous enemies considering that the spring gun just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring handguns are remarkably efficient under the ideal scenarios and airsoft games. Spring handguns can usually shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but precision decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Facts
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to bring into the field as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They function just like an AEG gun and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines usually can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare mags to reload (after every 20 to 30 rounds) and the battery lasts that long. These pistols can accurately shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually increased significantly over the last few years. The early gen guns were a bit unreliable and questionable, but the latest versions have the problems resolved and make effective airsoft secondary guns. They can be improved with maximized mag capacities together with accommodating bigger batteries.
A big benefit of buying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connectors to use a bigger battery. Depending upon the AEG handgun type, you may be able to get a large leap in performance using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the standard AEP battery. Take care of adjusting the components and the gun’s wires since you must take into account the voltages, mAh, and loads of the batteries. Ask an expert airsoft gun technician at your local airsoft shop or store if you have customization issues.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Buy?
Choosing the ideal airsoft pistol for you depends upon how much you can afford, how often you want to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. Consider a GBB green gas pistol or automatic electric AEP handgun if you have $100 or more to invest on your airsoft handgun. These are normally the top of the line, have great efficiency, and can be a great airsoft gun to invest in. Look into a CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB handgun if you have between more than $50 but less than $100 to buy a gun. These mid-tier guns will still do the job and will be pretty resilient sidearms. If you have less than $50, look for a cheaper CO2 or spring handgun. You can still buy a long lasting airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
