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.

How to Choose an Airsoft Pistol
Learn about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. A large number of airsoft pistols are completely approved and licensed releases of their actual handgun equivalents and look and operate in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than actual bullets.
There are a number of types of airsoft pistols such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these varieties of handguns have negatives and positives connected with them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft pistols lets you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most standard and long-lasting types of pistols. These handguns use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to launch airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These forms of airsoft pistols are good for playing airsoft in cooler weather considering that the compressed CO2 gas is less susceptible to performance decreases by temperature levels. This gives CO2 airsoft handguns excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for instance where other kinds of guns like green gas cease to operate or barely fire airsoft BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a metallic cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas comprised of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, and so the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridges under really high pressure of close to ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however the moment they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge 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 chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if the cylinders are stored sealed. They have the manufacturer’s expiration date normally listed on the package or cylinder, however, they will probably last for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 pistols, however they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is held in the handgun’s airsoft mag which can commonly hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun model. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the mag before the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When playing with a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup weapon, bringing extra handgun magazines is highly recommended for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra mags helps you re-engage in the action throughout firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields because long guns and full-sized AEGs are usually not allowed to be used during indoor game play. This is an essential safety rule due to the close range distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB lower compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various types of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is housed in the pistol magazine by rubber o-rings, seals, and silicone gaskets, cold temps can negatively affect these o-rings and allow the stored gas to leak out before shooting. The lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the GBB handgun would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One option to this issue is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by placing them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket just before game play. If you really desire to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred pistol.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that propel the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual functioning of reloading, cocking, and firing spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols.
Spring guns perform the best in springer wars where players can exclusively use related, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB settings when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast second followup shot isn’t needed since the other person is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game play or running back to respawn. Beware when attacking several opponents considering the weapon only shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring pistols are really useful under the right situations. Spring guns can commonly shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but precision decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to use as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They function much like an AEG gun and use compressed air with electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol mags typically can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has risen considerably in recent years. The first gen AEP guns were a little bit unreliable and sketchy, however the more recent versions have most of the problems resolved and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be modded with increased magazine storage capacities in addition to accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial perk of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the opportunity to rewire the connections to use a more substantial battery with higher mAh. Based on the AEG pistol style, you are able to get a large boost in functionality using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock AEP battery. Take care of adjusting the parts and wires since you have to take into account the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. Ask a qualified gun tech at your local airsoft shop if you have customization issues.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me?
Deciding on the best airsoft pistol for you depends on how much you can afford, how often you desire to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. Look into a GBB handgun or AEP handgun if you have more than $100 to invest on your airsoft handgun. These kinds of pistols are typically the top of the line, have the most effective performance, and can be a pretty good airsoft gun to invest in. Check out a CO2 handgun or cheaper green gas GBB handgun if you have between more than $50 but less than $100 to spend. Mid-tier guns like these will still finish the job and will be pretty tough sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring pistol if you have less than $50. You can still buy a sturdy airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games.
