Refurbished CO2 WG Mini Tactical Silver Pistol FPS-500 Full Metal Airsoft Gun
Airsoft Pistol Product Features
This is a CO2 powered Airsoft Pistol which means that it uses CO2 Gas as a propellant. It shoots hard and fast and is extremely lifelike. One feature many CO2 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 CO2 Airsoft Pistol doesn’t require any pumping just simply point and shoot. This is a high end CO2 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 CO2 for this gun separately.
Information About the Varieties of Airsoft Handguns
Find info about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the best handgun can make an impact in blasting your shots. Sidearms, naturally, are reduced range airsoft weapons. They are typically constructed after genuine sidearms or clones of actual pistols. A large number of airsoft handguns are fully certified versions of their genuine handgun equivalents. These airsoft guns can function in the same ways and visually look identical to the real guns they are modeled around while firing airsoft BBs as opposed to actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these kinds of sidearms come with negatives and positives related to them. Learning more about the types of airsoft handguns allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most common and resilient types of handguns. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These types of airsoft handguns are great choices for playing in cold temperatures because the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to variation with low temperatures. This gives CO2 airsoft handguns great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other varieties of airsoft handguns like green gas stop functioning or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a metallic cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas made up of one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, however when they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They have the manufacturer’s expiration date usually printed on the package or cylinder, but they can survive for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns function similarly to CO2 guns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft BBs. The effect on gameplay and green gas sidearm effectiveness is practically the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or automatic firing modes and can accurately hit targets at short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s airsoft mag which can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol design. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the mag up until the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a backup or main weapon, bringing extra handgun mags is suggested for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra magazines on-hand allows you to re engage in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are great for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not allowed to be used during indoor engagements. This is an essential safety rule due to the close range proximity of players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB lower compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various forms of green gas airsoft handguns. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns function like a legitimate pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” with every shot. The propane triggers the slide to cycle each time a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. The result is extremely cool, however the GBB pistols usually cost more and likely have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback handguns normally cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is held in the handgun magazine using rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, cold temps can negatively influence these o-rings and cause the stored gas to escape prior to shooting. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only land a few feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would usually shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One solution to this problem is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them next to your body prior to the airsoft game play. If you absolutely want to play with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 style of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that shoot the BBs out of the gun’s barrel. The manual functions of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols.
Spring handguns perform best in springer wars where players can exclusively use related, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB environments when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast 2nd followup shot is not required since the other person is already struck and out of the game play or going back to respawn. Look out when attacking multiple opponents since the weapon only fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring guns are really useful under the proper circumstances. Their FPS normally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons generally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs since the springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft guns. Spring guns can typically engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets reduces rapidly. Using regular 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a reduced range of around 60 to 80 feet with enhanced target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Facts
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to bring into the field as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They work just like an AEG SMG and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags normally hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrically 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 lasts that long. These pistols can efficiently shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually risen considerably in recent years. The earliest gen AEP guns were a little bit undependable and questionable, but the more recent models have most of the deficiencies resolved and make effective airsoft backup guns. They can be modified with increased magazine capacities and also accommodating bigger batteries.
A significant advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the battery connectors to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can gain a huge jump in efficiency by adopting a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the stock mini battery.
What Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me?
Deciding on the ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends on your gun budget, how often you wish to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. If you have at least $100 to invest in your airsoft handgun, check out a green gas blowback or GBB pistol or AEG handgun. These guns are normally the best of the best, have good build qualities, and could be a really good airsoft gun to invest in. If you can afford about more than $50 but less than $100 to use for your gun, take a look at a CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB handgun. These will still work well and are pretty long lasting sidearms. If you have fifty dollars or less, search for a cheap CO2 or spring handgun. You can still find a long lasting airsoft handgun to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
