Green Gas Taurus PT92 Polymer Black Pistol FPS-405 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
Find information about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as extra weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft pistols are fully approved and licensed editions of their genuine weapon equivalents and operate and look in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these forms of sidearms come with negatives and positives connected with them. Finding out about the varieties of airsoft handguns allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most popular and heavy duty types of sidearms. These pistols use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to force airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These types of airsoft handguns are exceptional for playing airsoft in cold weather given that the pressurized CO2 gas is less vulnerable to performance decreases by low temperature. This fact provides excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other varieties of pistols like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a chrome cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas comprised of one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, but when they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft handgun 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 chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are kept sealed. They have a manufacturer’s use by date usually marked on the box or cartridge, but they may last for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistol Facts
Green gas airsoft sidearms are similar to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel the airsoft pellets. The outcome on gameplay and green gas sidearm effectiveness is just about the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and can hit targets at shorter to mid-range proximities.
The propane is stored in the handgun’s mag which can normally hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun style. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas pressurized in the mag till the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When running a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup gun, bringing extra magazines is recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra magazines on-hand helps you join in the action throughout firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields because long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not authorized to be used for indoor engagements. This is a safety rule due to the close range proximity of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a lower level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various kinds of green gas airsoft handguns. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns function like a realistic handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” with every shot. The propane gas triggers the slide to cycle every time a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This effect is really cool, but the pistols frequently are more expensive and potentially have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback guns usually cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Because the green gas or propane gas is kept in the pistol mag by using rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, cold temps can negatively affect these o-rings and allow the stored gas to leak out before shooting the gun. This lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only land a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would typically shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One option to fix this challenge is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them next to a heater or by your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to warm the rubber seals and help to seal in the green gas. If you honestly want to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold, it may also be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred pistol. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun shoots much better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Information
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful springs that propel the BBs down the gun barrel. They are generally able to only shoot one BB. The manual functions of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring pistols makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When fighting against other airsoft players on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles, fully automatic airsoft AEG assault rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns, this can make spring airsoft pistols fun to use, however less effective.
Spring sidearms work best in springer wars where players can only use related, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can often sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick 2nd followup shot isn’t called for given that the other player is already hit by the first BB and out of the game or headed back to respawn. When engaging a number of enemies because the springer just fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring handguns are extremely useful under the correct conditions during airsoft games. Spring guns like pistols can normally fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs but precision decreases rapidly.
Facts About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They function just like an AEG rifle and use forced air pumped through electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun mags typically can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs approximately about 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough spare magazines to reload the gun and the battery maintains its charge that long. These pistols can efficiently shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually increased substantially recently. The first generation guns were a little bit unreliable and sketchy, but the new designs have the deficiencies worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be further upgraded with enhanced magazine capacities together with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A huge advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capacity to rewire the connections to use a bigger battery with longer life. Based on the AEG handgun model, you are able to get a sizable jump in efficiency utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as opposed to the stock mini battery. Take extra precautions when changing the elements and wires because you should take into consideration the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. If you have customization questions, ask a professional gun service technician at your closest airsoft shop or store.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
Looking for the ideal airsoft handgun for you depends on your gun budget, how much you wish to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. Consider a GBB green gas handgun or AEG handgun if you have more than $100 to invest on your airsoft pistol. These guns are usually the best of the best, have the greatest build qualities, and can be an excellent gun to get. If you can afford about fifty to one-hundred dollars to use for your gun, look into a CO2 pistol or a less expensive green gas handgun. These mid-tier guns will still be fun to play with and will be tough sidearms. If you have less than $50, research a low end CO2 or spring handgun. You can still buy a durable airsoft pistol to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
