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.

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.
Information About the Varieties of Airsoft Pistols
Learn about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as extra guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft pistols are completely manufactured versions of their real pistol equivalents and look and function in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a few varieties of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these varieties of handguns come with benefits and differences related to them. Finding out 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 handguns are one of the most heavy duty and typical types of pistols. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These kinds of airsoft guns are great for playing in colder weather conditions considering that the compressed CO2 gas is less sensitive to performance decreases with temperature levels. This provides very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for example where other styles of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop performing or barely fire airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny metallic cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas made up of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cartridge cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can usually purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely and securely inside, but once they are punctured (shooting them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You must try to use up the whole CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the handgun stops shooting.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They have a supplier’s best used by date typically noted on the box or cartridge, however, they will probably stay pressurized for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft pistols resemble CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot the airsoft BBs. The impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon effectiveness is basically the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ FPS. Shots are quickly fired in automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and accurate at shorter to mid-range ranges.
The propane gas is held in the pistol’s airsoft magazine which can frequently hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol style. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the gas pressurized in the mag up until the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When carrying a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a secondary or main weapon, extra magazines are highly recommended for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra mags allows you to get back in the action during firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not permitted to be used for indoor gameplay. This is a safety guideline because of the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB lower compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols work like a legitimate handgun with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. When a fresh airsoft BB is chambered, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. The result is extremely cool, however the GBB guns often are more expensive and likely have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols commonly cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same between the two types of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas normally works very well, it does have issues. For example, when they are used throughout the winter airsoft games in the snow or in cold weather (like less than 32 degrees F). Because the green gas or propane gas is held in the pistol mag using silicone seals and gaskets, the cold can negatively impact the seals and cause the stored gas to seep out before firing the handgun. This can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would usually shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One fix to this issue is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by placing them next to your body or by a heater before the airsoft game play. If you truly desire to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Information
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful coil springs that send the BBs out of the pistol barrel. The manual functions of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring airsoft guns work best in springer wars where participants can just use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a transitional backup gun for CQB environments when you can frequently surprise other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a quick 2nd followup shot is not needed because the other person is now hit and out of the gameplay or headed back to respawn. When engaging many different enemies given that the spring airsoft gun only fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring handguns are very reliable under the most ideal game circumstances. Spring pistols can normally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to engage targets decreases quickly.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to bring into the field as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s handle. They operate much like an AEG gun and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun mags usually can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough magazines to maintain the ammo supply and the battery maintains its charge that long. These handguns can efficiently fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually grown substantially over the last few years. The initial gen guns were a bit questionable and unreliable, but the more recent designs have the issues worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be further upgraded with enhanced mag capacities as well as accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capacity to rewire the connections to use a more robust battery. Depending upon the AEG pistol version, you are able to gain a substantial boost in performance by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the standard mini battery. Take extra precautions when customizing the components and wires since you should take into consideration the volts, mAh, and loads of the battery. If you have modding concerns, ask an experienced airsoft tech at your local airsoft store.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Buy?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, evaluate a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric handgun. If you have in-between $50 to $100 to shell out, look at a good quality CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB pistol. You can still get a long lasting airsoft handgun by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with other players in the used airsoft gun market if you are on a budget.
