For purposes of the General Law on Import and Export Tariffs, airsoft replicas as well as paintball guns and any other artifacts shooting projectiles of any kind through the use of compressed gasses (such as air, CO 2, propane, green gas, or red gas) that are not the result of the conflagration of gunpowder or similar substances, are classified ...
Red gas is usually avoided unless the airsoft gun has undergone modification, as its relatively high critical pressure can cause damage to the airsoft gun, such as breakage of the slide or bolt. CO 2, nitrogen, and high pressure air are less common because they need to be stored at higher pressures than "green gas" or HFC-134a.
Smoke caps, as well as noise amplifiers, are available for certain airsoft guns to add realism. Gas handgun magazines usually contain 10 to 30 pellets in a standard-capacity magazine; however, some are high-capacity magazines and can hold 50 rounds or more. In the case of AEG rifles, magazines come in either real-capacity (equivalent to the 30 ...
These pistols and compact submachine guns are often more reliable than gas-powered replicas in cold weather. However, due to their lower voltage supplies and miniature gearboxes, they usually generate lower muzzle speeds (about 0.25 - .5J per BB, 25–50 m/s for 0.2g BB) and slightly slower rates of fire than replicas using a full-sized gearbox ...
A light primer strike will result in a dead trigger and the gun will not cycle. This malfunction is not to be mistaken with a squib load which the gunpowder is ignited and the bullet fires, but is trapped in the barrel of a gun. A light primer strike will not have expanding gases as a squib load would produce as sign that there is one.
An assortment of snap caps of varying calibers, from left: (1st row) .22 LR, 9mm (both), .45 ACP, (2nd row) 30-06 (both), (3rd row) 12 Ga. A snap cap is a firearm accessory device shaped like a standard cartridge/shotshell but contains no functional components, namely the primer, propellant and projectile (bullet or slug).
In addition to AEGs, JG has released their first gas blowback, a Glock 18C, which is a clone of the KSC Glock 18C. [7] This has, however, been disputed, as it is speculated that production of the G18c was outsourced to another Chinese airsoft manufacture. This has also been the case with their plastic-bodied M4 GBB model. [citation needed]
The VP70 uses a spring-loaded striker like a Glock, instead of a conventional hammer. It is double-action only , with a quite heavy trigger pull, akin to a staple gun. In lieu of a blade front sight, the VP70 uses a polished ramp with a central notch in the middle to provide the illusion of a dark front post.
