Green Gas WE Browning 420 Blowback Pistol FPS-390 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 Pistol
Find out about airsoft handguns and pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best pistol and practicing with it can make an impact in blasting your shots. Pistols, naturally, are short range airsoft weapons. They are most often created after real world handguns or imitations of authentic handguns. Many airsoft sidearms are fully certified variations of their real-world firearm counterparts. These airsoft guns can visually appear and function (sans shooting bullets) in the same ways identical to the real guns they are modeled around while blasting airsoft BBs instead of real bullets.
There are a few kinds of airsoft pistols including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these styles of handguns has negatives and positives connected with them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft sidearms allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most standard and long-lasting varieties of pistols. They are all-season weapons and work well in a lot of types of weather and environments. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is usually kept in the gun’s magazine.
These forms of airsoft handguns are great for playing airsoft in cooler temperatures since the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to performance variations caused by low temperatures. This offers excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other sorts of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop working or hardly fire airsoft BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny steel cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas comprised of just one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, therefore the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridges under really high pressure of about ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cartridges cannot be used multiple times and you can commonly purchase them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely inside, but when they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not expended. You should try to use up the whole CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas leftover, use the opportunity to do some handgun accuracy and target practice and consume the rest of the additional gas. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the gun stops firing.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They have a maker’s expiration date typically listed on the box or cartridge, however, they will maintain pressure for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is virtually the very same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the pistol’s magazine which can normally hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol model. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the mag until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When using a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or primary gun, extra mags are encouraged for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra mags on-hand allows you to get back in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are generally not permitted to be used during indoor shooting. This is a safety standard because of the close range distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, 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 pistols. To begin with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols operate like a real pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. Every time a new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas causes the slide to cycle. This effect is really cool, however the GBB guns usually are more expensive and potentially have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback guns usually cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two varieties of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is held in the handgun mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, cold weather can negatively impact these o-rings and allow the stored gas to leak out before shooting the pistol. The lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the green gas handgun would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this issue is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them close to your body before game play. This can help to heat up the seals and better seal in the green gas. It may also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun if you truly need to play with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun will shoot much better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful coil springs that launch the airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel. They are usually able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual functioning of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes them fun to use, however they are less practical when dealing with rivals on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles, auto airsoft AEG SMGs and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring sidearms work the best in springer wars where opponents can exclusively use related, single shot spring pistols or as a transition backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can often surprise other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid second follow-up shot is not called for because the other player is now struck and out of the game or running back to respawn. When engaging many different opponents considering that the spring airsoft gun only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring handguns are extremely efficient under the right conditions during airsoft games. Their FPS typically chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12g airsoft BBs. These guns typically fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs since the springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft weapons. Spring pistols can generally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however precision is reduced quickly. Choosing conventional 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a reduced shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet with increased target accuracy.
About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to use as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They operate just like an AEG gun and use pressured air with electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun magazines usually can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually increased substantially in the last few years. The first generation AEP guns were a little bit questionable and unreliable, but the latest versions have most of the problems resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be modified with maximized mag capacities together with accommodating bigger batteries.
A big perk of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the connectors to use an enhanced battery with longer life. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can gain a sizable leap in efficiency by utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) in place of the stock mini battery. Take extra precautions when changing the elements and wires because you need to take into account the voltages, mAh, and loads of the batteries. Ask an experienced airsoft gun service technician at your nearest airsoft store if you have customization questions.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
If you have over $100 to use to buy your airsoft pistol, check out a GBB pistol or automatic electric handgun. If you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to buy a gun, review a CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB handgun. If you are on a budget, you can still get a long lasting airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
