Gas and CO2 Airsoft Pistols

ASG CO2 pistols are powered by 12-gram capsules filled with carbon dioxide at high pressure. After locating such a reservoir in the magazine or in a specific place in the handle of the replica, a special needle pierces the capsule, and a valve stops the gas from escaping and dispenses the right amount of gas, each time a shot is fired. In this category you will find both replicas having a gas recoil of the breech after each shot, called from English blow back, and models without this feature. ASG CO2 pistols are characterized by high initial energy of the ball, good accuracy combined with high repeatability of shots, trouble-free operation and small size of the carbon dioxide canisters themselves. The number of shots from one capsule depends largely on whether the gun has the aforementioned breech-back system, as well as the initial energy and the ambient temperature, which affects the physical properties of the expanding gas. The warmer it is outside, the more effective shots will be fired from a single tank. It's worth keeping this relationship in mind during winter airsoft games and keeping our spare capsules under our clothes, closer to our bodies, to prevent our equipment from cooling down significantly. Every CO2 ASG gun requires regular use of silicone grease, a small amount of which we apply to rubber parts such as seals. It is also worth protecting all metal parts from corrosion with specialized gun lubricants.

These are small costs, which in the long run will ensure a longer life for our equipment and avoid unwanted failures. In ASG games, CO2 guns will give us, above all, the confidence that when we suddenly run out of ammunition in our main replica, we can win the duel and score more points without having to reload. Using a sidearm is usually much faster than changing the magazine or topping up a portion of the bullets. Green Gas ASG Pistols, on the other hand, are powered by much larger cans usually filled with a mixture of propane, silicone and odorants designed to inform us of leaks. Unlike carbon dioxide, this mixture is flammable, and it is imperative to keep this in mind when using pyrotechnics or being near an open flame source during play. Green Gas ASG guns, like those powered by CO2, perform slightly worse in lower temperatures than during summer games. Here, too, it should be remembered that excessive cooling of our gas-powered pistol or revolver can result in reduced performance. Green gas is loaded directly into the cylinder integrated in the magazine or grip of the replica, in a manner reminiscent of charging a reusable lighter. The procedure requires holding the gas canister with its needle pressed into the valve seat for a moment. Once this is done, we can continue shooting. The green gas ASG gun is characterized by the fact that, unlike the one for carbon dioxide capsules, we can recharge it at any time.

Such replicas are also sometimes equipped with blow back, which definitely increases the realism of the game. Although Green Gas contains silicone oil in its composition, it is worth remembering about additional maintenance of our equipment. For both types of replicas it is not uncommon to use a notch with which we can remove dirt from inside the barrel, as well as an agent that prevents rust from forming on metal parts.
