Green Gas WE V2 Hi-Capa Pistol FPS-400 Full Metal, 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 Pistol
Find out about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the ideal sidearm can make all the difference in improving your shots. Handguns, by nature, are shorter range airsoft guns. They are frequently produced after actual handguns or replications of legitimate handguns. A large number of airsoft pistols are completely licensed versions of their real world firearm counterparts. These airsoft guns can appear and function (except for shooting bullets) in the same ways identical to the real guns they are designed after while blasting airsoft BBs in place of genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these forms of handguns have benefits and differences related to them. Finding out about the types of airsoft pistols allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most durable and standard types of handguns. These pistols use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to move airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These types of airsoft handguns are great choices for playing airsoft in colder weather conditions because the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance variations caused by temperature. This fact provides very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other styles of guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a metallic cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas comprised of just one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, as a result the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridges under very high pressure of near ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however the moment they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft weapon 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 handgun target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have a maker’s best used by date typically listed on the box or cartridge, however, they can survive for a prolonged period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearm Information
Green gas airsoft handguns resemble CO2 guns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot the airsoft BBs. The operational impact on airsoft games and green gas handgun operation is essentially the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are rapidly fired in automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and precisely hit targets at very short to mid-range proximities.
The propane gas is kept in the pistol’s airsoft mag which can normally hold between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun style. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas pressurized in the mag before the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a backup or main weapon, bringing additional mags is highly recommended for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional magazines on-hand helps you get back in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not permitted to be used during indoor game play. This is a safety regulation because of the close range proximity of gamers during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different styles of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns run like an authentic handgun with the gun’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. Every time a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. This effect is very cool, however the guns frequently are more expensive and likely have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns usually cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas normally works very well on the airsoft field, it does have drawbacks. When green gas and GBB guns are used during the winter airsoft games in the snow or in colder temps (like under 32 deg F). Given that the green gas or propane gas is held in the mag by silicone seals and gaskets, the cold can impact the seals and allow the gas to seep out before shooting airsoft BBs. This can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would normally shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One fix to this problem is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by putting them next to your body prior to the airsoft game play starts. If you really want to play with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 style of your preferred handgun.
Info on Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful springs that fire the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual functioning of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring sidearms perform best in springer battles where airsoft players can just use comparable, single shot spring pistols or as an alternative backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can usually surprise other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick 2nd follow-up shot isn’t called for considering that the other person is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game or running back to respawn. When engaging several players considering that the weapon simply fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring pistols are extremely reliable under the appropriate situations. Their FPS usually chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These pistols typically fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the coiled springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft weapons. Spring guns can generally be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to hit targets accurately is reduced quickly. Using standard 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a range of about 60 to 80 feet or less with improved target accuracy.
About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to bring as a sidearm 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 SMG and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun mags typically hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs approximately about 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough magazines to reload the gun and the battery maintains its charge that long. These AEP handguns can accurately fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has risen substantially over the last few years. The initial gen AEP guns were a little bit questionable and undependable, however the newer models have the problems resolved and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be modded with maximized mag storage capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A huge benefit of buying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the battery connectors to use a more substantial battery with longer life. Depending upon the AEG pistol model, you can get a substantial leap in efficiency using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the standard mini battery. Take care of customizing the components and the gun’s wires since you must take into account the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. If you have modding concerns, ask a pro airsoft gun technician at your closest airsoft shop.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft handgun, check out a GBB handgun or AEG handgun. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to buy a gun, check out a good quality CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB handgun. You can still get a durable airsoft handgun by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft guns if you need to save money.
