Using compressed gas to shoot BB’s these airsoft rifles come in both blowback and non-blowback forms. The blowback versions are the most fun to fire as they have the “kick-back” recoil feature of regular weapons. Nothing is quite like the rifle pushing back up against your shoulder as you fire off a burst of rounds in a matter of seconds.
Modeled after many of the most popular and famous firearms in the history of man, these gas airsoft rifles are often used in battle reenactments because of their realistic features helping to fully simulate the style of weapon use in the actual battles.
Green gas, a propane heavy compound with a polysiloxane lubricant is the most common form of gas used in gas airsoft rifles. This mix of lubricant and propane rich gas helps to maintain the firing mechanisms and the propane is used as the propellant to fire the BB. For the real enthusiast, one often purchases a propane tank with a propane adaptor that fits over the muzzle of the propane tank and allows for filling the gas chamber of the rifle directly. Propane is not the only propellant used in gas airsoft rifles as some are designed to use CO2, red gas, or HFC-134a.
