Difference Between Gas and Spring Airsoft Revolvers
are becoming a essential weapon in Airsoft
and it best to know the difference in both types of Airsoft revolvers. Understand the basic
function of each type of revolver will help you get familiar with the
hand gun and especially when they decide to break down. Certain guns has
specific problems and they can be easy solved if you know exactly what
style of revolvers they are. The most two popular style of are of
revolvers for Airsoft is gas powered and spring powered Airsoft revolvers. In this article I'll
briefly go over a few things on each type of Airsoft
revolvers.
Spring Airsoft revolvers are
basically powered by a spring in the back of the revolvers chamber. When
a players cock back the revolver, there's a mechanism that pulls back
the spring and compresses it. During this time the BB is loaded into the
chamber and is ready to be fired. The disadvantage of the Airsoft spring
revolvers is the fact that it's powered by just a spring. Even
though spring carry a lot of potential in exerting power, its nothing
compared to a revolver powered by gas or basically CO2. This makes the
spring revolver a lot weaker when compare to a gas revolver. Another
disadvantage would be that the spring on most Airsoft
revolvers tend to fail more consistently if you don't keep it clean.
The spring is just like any other mechanic part in the guy and can fail
if it get worn out.
Gas Airsoft revolvers on the
other hand are more reliable and built more sturdier than the spring
revolvers. The key difference is that gas revolvers are powered by Co2
or any other type of compressed gas. The most common CO2 gas that are
used with gas powered airsoft revolvers
are green gas, they seem to work better in cold conditions. On that note
a gas revolver also has it's disadvantage and the only downfall of this
gun is that gas revolvers don't perform well in cold weather. This due
to the gas that it uses, for some reason the CO2 gas can't flow through
the revolver and my guess is because it due to the gas not being a gas
anymore because of the cold weather. This causes the gas Airsoft revolver to jam up but I've found a
way to keep it from jamming up if you are playing in cold weather. I
tend to keep my revolver in my holster close to my body which help type
the Airsoft gun warm and I notice it work just
fine when it warmed up like that.
In conclusion the main
difference behind the gas and spring Airsoft
revolvers are how they are powered. Spring is more mechanical using a
spring to mainly propel the BB out of the chamber, where as the gas
revolvers uses compressed gas to do the same function. Gas are typically
the better choice for a revolver because it more reliable and shoots
stronger when compared to the spring revolvers. It's not different if
you had an gas powered airsoft
sniper rifle or a spring sniper rifle, the gas powered Airsoft weapon seems to always be better
than spring but don't get me wrong, with some add-ons and enhancement on a
spring powered airsoft gun, you'll be
able to match the power of a gas powered airsoft
gun.
