The gas blowback airsoft guns make a shot-report, and the CO2 ones are the loudest and most visually impressive.

Green gas contains propane, I think.

What's a shot report?

I believe they do.

The only problem with CO2 is that it cools down quickly. It would have to be 75 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer for it to maintain any kind of power. As it cools CO2 loses power and shots get weaker.

Of course if you wait about 10-20 seconds it will go back up. This would only really effect guns like the ones you posted in the video. The fully automatic guns that have blowback which uses more gas.

The little puff of smoke or vapor leaving the gun makes me believe it's CO2 cause CO2 will do that. It could be green gas which as someone said is propane. I don't think it would lose power at all.

So the gun in the video uses green gas. I wonder what is causing the vapor/smoke to leave the gun? Maybe lube they use?

It's pretty cool.

A bang!

Edit: More of a 'pop' tbh, but it depends on how powerful your spring is too...

I have experience in airguns, and I used to have a range in the garage. You are better off with a rifle though the pistols grouping is garbage even relatively close range(unless your paying top dollar for a competition grade).
Can you not use firearms where you live?

Ive played with one similar, im not sure if it was a G&P but it was an exact Colt M4 duplicate. With the green gas it would cycle 4 magazines with 30 of the plastic BB's before it started getting weak and having failures. Im not sure i was filling it with gas properly either though, i figured it should throw at least twice that many before running out of gas.

I picked up a semi-cheap electric Magpul PTS M4 by GI MOE and a green gas HK USP for a little over $300. Does anyone have experience starting a team? One thing with airsoft M4's is that the mags can be kind of hit and miss so you have to figure out what works best for you. The nice thing about the quality M4's though is that you can swap out accessories with real AR15 variant rifles.

American airsoft events are one of the many reasons I regret not being born on the US.

The idea is to strip all guns from the culture, even toy guns.

They don't want you to remember anything about guns.

I bought a Winchester-branded 1911-clone airgun at a Gander Mtn liquidation sale a couple weeks ago. Still haven't fired more than a couple shots from it, but it works pretty good, and definitely doesn't feel like a toy.

I want this one

Dolph.Hilter 2017-07-28 23:31:39 UTC #35

I thought about purchasing a couple of these for fun but every time I'm in the store I end up buying real ammo instead. The 9mm, .38, .22 and 7.62x39 are hungry.

Get airsoft guns with similar weight and battery of arms to your real firearms => instant training device for combat manuevers. All in good fun of course.
