Green Gas Taurus PT92 Polymer Silver 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 handguns and pistols and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best handgun and practicing with it can be a game changer in hitting your shots. Pistols, by nature, are reduced range airsoft guns. They are frequently made after real sidearms or reproductions of genuine handguns. A large number of airsoft pistols are completely licensed models of their authentic weapon equivalents. These airsoft guns can visually appear and operate in the same ways almost identically to the real guns they are modeled around while firing airsoft BBs as opposed to authentic 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 handguns. Each of these varieties of pistols come with positives and negatives associated with them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft pistols allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft sidearms are among the most standard and heavy duty kinds of pistols. They are all-season, all-weather pistols and work well in a lot of kinds of temperatures, weather and climates. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is normally kept in the gun’s magazine.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are very good for playing in cooler weather conditions because the high pressure CO2 gas is less vulnerable to variation caused by temperature levels. This fact gives CO2 airsoft handguns exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other styles of airsoft guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas made up of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can commonly buy them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely inside, but the moment they are opened (firing them in an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You ought to try to use up the entire CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some handgun accuracy and target practice and expend the rest of the surplus gas. There is no gas level indicator on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the pistol stops shooting.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They are made with the manufacturer’s best used by date usually marked on the package or cylinder, but they can survive for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is almost the very same as CO2 pistols with the guns at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s grip within the magazine which can frequently hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the gun style. A series of valves, silicone gaskets, and o-rings keep the propane gas pressurized in the pistol magazine up until the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great idea to top off and refill the green gas supply in the mag each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding gamers can even carry excess bottles of green gas in the field for refilling mags between breaks in the fight or between activities.
When using a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a main or backup gun, extra handgun mags are highly recommended for rapidly reloading. Having extra magazines allows you to re engage in the action during firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are generally not enabled to be used for indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety standard due to the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different varieties of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Because the green gas or propane is stored in the mag by rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, cold temps can influence these o-rings and cause the gas to leak out before shooting the pistol. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just land a number of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the GBB handgun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this challenge is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by holding them near your body before game play. This can help to warm up the seals and better seal in the green gas. If you really want to have fun with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold, it may also be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred handgun. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and these guns shoot far better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful coil springs that send the BBs out of the pistol barrel. The manual functions of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns.
Spring guns perform best in springer wars where opponents can solely use similar, single shot spring weapons or as an alternative backup weapon for CQB settings when you can often sneak up to other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast second followup shot is not called for because the other player is now hit by the first BB and out of the game or heading back to respawn. When engaging many different enemies considering that the weapon only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring handguns are very effective under the right scenarios. Their FPS generally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These pistols typically fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs since the springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring guns can generally be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to engage targets is reduced rapidly. Choosing normal 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a decreased range of around 60 to 80 feet with increased precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to bring into the field as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They function much like an AEG rifle and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol mags typically carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare mags to reload and the battery maintains its charge that long. These AEP handguns can accurately shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually risen substantially in the last few years. The early generations were a bit unreliable and questionable, however the newer designs have most of the deficiencies resolved and make effective airsoft backup guns. They can be further modified with increased magazine storage capacities along with accommodating larger batteries.
A huge benefit of using an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the connectors to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you can gain a large jump in functionality by taking advantage of a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Play with?
Picking the best airsoft pistol for you depends upon how much you can afford, how often you wish to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. Check out a GBB green gas pistol or AEP pistol if you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun. These are typically the best of the best, have the greatest efficiency, and could be a really good gun to invest in. If you have around $50 to $100 to use for your gun, look at a CO2 pistol or less expensive green gas handgun. These mid-tier guns will still work well and can be sturdy sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring pistol if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still buy a sturdy airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
