All You Need to Know about Airsoft Gas Guns

The one thing which is worse than getting depleted of ammo is the absence of sidearm to tackle those emergencies. Every serious-minded airsoft player must pledge to arm themselves with a pistol wherever they go, because emergencies do occur without a prior warning. Among airsoft guns gas-powered ones are extreme underrated as they do not quite reach the excellent firing value of their AEG counterparts. Yet the former is quite a cost-effective alternative to users who identify themselves as having intermediate skill in airsofting. Here you will get to know about the different types of such airsoft pistols:

Types of airsoft gas-powered pistols 

  • Gas-powered blowback pistol: Blowback airsoft pistols are designed normally to operate very much like conventional steel pistols, where you need to push the slide back in order to prime the pistol for action. Also, such a pistol's slide tends to lock into the back end whenever you are depleted of rounds, akin to a steel pistol. The advantage of a THIS blowback pistol is that it looks and feels similar to the conventional steel pistol and acts like one too. However they require more gas to power the slide to and fro during operation.
  • Non-blowback airsoft pistols: These pistols possess a slide that does not cycle and hence is less realistic. However such a structure demands lesser gas and produces lesser noise too. The advantage of non-blowback pistols is that they have a higher value of FPS, are lighter to use and emit lesser noise. Yet, their action seems far from realistic.
Types of gases

These powered pistols make use of two major types of gases for propulsion of the pellets or BBs. The two types are green gas and CO2 compressed gas. Green gas offers the advantage of quick refill. It is also less expensive and keeps the magazine well-lubricated. But refilling the magazine with this type can be really tedious. Also they do not perform optimally in temperature extremes. CO2 compressed gas on the other hand lasts for a couple of magazine reloads and is completely safe with a higher FPS.

Well, as these are very important devices for the players, it is obvious that only knowing about the types is not sufficient for any enthusiast. Every player would want to get these in hand. But, while buying it is mandatory to keep in mind that the guns and other accessories need to be purchased from renowned and reliable stores or dealers to get the real perks of using them.
