Everybody needs an airsoft pistol in their arsenal. A spring pistol is a good option for people with a small budget. But a green gas airsoft pistol is a much more effective weapon.
Green gas pistols can come with a feature called blowback. This feature adds extreme realism to the airsoft gun. When the gun is fired, the slide slides back just like the real thing. Unlike spring airsoft pistols, a green gas pistol can be fired consecutively without having to cock it each time. Some models can even shoot in full-auto. These guns have a great feel of realism due to the weight and the recoil.
Green gas is becoming more preferred over co2 airsoft pistols. Green gas airsoft pistols usually have a little more power. Green gas is used more efficiently in the gun. It is also more cost effective. You can get more shots per gram of green gas than you can with co2. On average a fill of green gas can last for about 60 bb’s while a co2 cartridge may only last 40 shots.
Green gas pistols have a different fuel filling method. The magazine has a reservoir in it that holds the green gas. Some may argue that this is more inconvenient to fill while some prefer it. I prefer to have a couple magazines filled and ready to go for quick reloads on the battlefield.
Green gas is propane with silicone oil infused in it. The silicone oil keeps all the seal lubed properly. Without using the silicone oil, the gun risks being damaged. Some use straight propane in their green gas airsoft pistols. This is not but it will work. An adapter must be bought in fill the reservoir.
