The Best Airsoft Pistol

By Malcolm Firthair


Among the inquiries beginners are constantly asking is 'What is superior - a blow back or non blow back airsoft pistol?' Like a lot of things, the answer is - it depends. A lot of it comes right down to what you may want from your airsoft pistol.

The bottom line for many airsoft pistol aficionados is the fact that GBBs are much more authentic and much more fun to shoot. That's about all that needs to be said if this represents your personal preferences.

However, you will find other differences as well which some may want to consider when deciding which airsoft pistol to choose.

Let's start with cost. GBBs are generally more expensive than NBBs. This makes sense. The GBBs usually are better built, made of much better materials, and are much more real looking.

Loading and cleaning. GBBs have a tendency to be simpler to load and simpler to clean. NBBs sometimes have inner magazines that are hard to load.

CO2 use. NBBs have a tendency to use a lesser amount of CO2 than GBBs. They don't seem to leak as much as GBBs. Obviously, one of the reasons GBBs use additional CO2 is simply because some of the energy will go for cycling and reloading, unlike with the NBB, all of the energy will go into moving the projectile.

Sound. NBBs tend to be quieter than GBBs. If you want the realistic sound, you're going to opt for the GBB. If you don't care about the sound or want a more stealth approach, the NBB will suit you.

Accuracy. I'm not cognizant of any studies showing which type is more accurate. However, one crucial difference is that NBBs have fewer moving components compared to GBBs. Less moving components in the course of a shot can certainly translate into improved precision.

Realism. The GBBs have a tendency to be more genuine in appearance, function, as well as sound. For example, the blow-back slide aims to duplicate the action of a real gun. Generally, this realism is why GBBs tend to be much more expensive than NBBs.

Upkeep. The GBBs have a tendency to need much more upkeep because of the fact that they've got more moving components. You are able to take down the GBBs a lot quicker compared to NBBs. The GBBs are also simpler to upgrade compared to NBBs.

Overall performance. It's true that NBBs have a tendency to possess a somewhat greater Fps than GBBs. This is minor, and once more, it's a trade off with the other categories mentioned.

The bottom line is that it all comes down to personal preference and what you want from your airsoft pistol. GBBs really are a pleasure to shoot. They've got the recoil, the sound, and the look. NBBs are less expensive and may have a slight edge in some areas such as CO2 use. Most airsoft pistol enthusiasts tend to go for the GBBs because the reason they got in to airsoft to begin with was due to the realistic nature of the guns and the fun they get from shooting them.
