Truly the most effective in
AirSoft gun performance runs on a gas driven
mechanism. Models utilizing such a compact
operation include a large line of automatics,
revolvers, and rifles. All are manufactured to a
high degree of surface detail and dimension.
Sub-categories of gas powered AirSoft guns
include "Non-Blowback" and
Blowback" models. Function and realism is
experienced much better with the action of
"Blowback" gas guns that are not only
more powerful, but heavier in weight. However the
Non-Blowback is a great entry in the gas guns
because of less moving parts and less to break
down.
Low-temperature
carbon dioxide (CO2), Freon, and "green
gas" are the most popular of gases used. The
gas is either injected into a reservoir chamber
within the gun or magazine or attached to an
exterior assembly containing the gas canister and
an expansion tank. Activated by the trigger, gas
is released at a valve atop the reservoir or from
the expansion tank, depending on the design. The
small amount of cold gas reacts with the warmer
atmosphere, expands instantly, and is channeled
through a directed nozzle at the BB. The
resulting pressure launches the BB out of the
barrel toward its intended target. The label
"Gas Gun" will be used to address any
gun with this type of design mechanism in the
AirSoft category.
The
latest AirSoft gas operation incorporates the
"Blowback" effect; a simulation of the
slide action in actual gun firing. Essentially,
the Blowback effect is created by directing the
gas to an interior chamber within the slide of
the AirSoft gun, causing it to move rearwards
from the expanding gas, hence the
"Blowback" action. The slide compresses
a metal spring, which forces it to move forward
as the gas escapes. In its movement, a BB is
collected from the magazine and placed into the
barrel, and readies the gun for the next trigger
pull. Being a highly modified Gas Gun, this class
of AirSoft gun will be identified as a "Gas
Blowback" AirSoft Gun. All gas guns that do
not incorporate this type of gas actuated slide
mechanism will be labeled simply "Gas
Gun" or "Gas Non-Blowback" AirSoft
Gun.
To
load gas hold both Green gas canister and AirSoft
gas magazine upside down, insert canister nozzle
into the gas charging port on the bottom plate of
the gas magazine. Make sure valves match and is
aligned. Press down on the gas canister in 3
short jabbing motions. This should adequately
charge the gas reservoir inside the magazine.
Each charge should be good for 2 - 3 fills of
BB’s. Pressurized gas is cold, keep hands
away from the immediate surrounding of the gas
port when charging. Do not continuously recharge
the magazine when it gets too cold. Rotate
magazines or let the magazine warm up before
recharge. Leak could occur if seals are frozen or
cracked.
Before
firing:
1.
Chamber the first round of BB by pulling the
slide back.
2.
Pull the trigger to shoot, "Blowback"
action will cycle the slide back and load the
next round.
3.
Slide will lock open when all rounds are fired.
