Categories within Gas airsoft pistols

Non-Blowback Pistol: The slides of these pistols do not cycle. They have a double-action trigger where the hammer will cock back and strike forward onto a gas valve in one quick motion. All the pressured gas in the gun is used solely for shooting the BB. This means an NBB will often be very powerful and gas efficient. Some of them have a single charge that goes from 60 to over 100 shots. They are very quiet, making them great for times when being stealthy is key.

Partial Blowback Pistol: A PBB pistol is where only a small portion of the slide, or bolt, cycles back upon every trigger pull. This creates a small recoil impulse and also cocks the hammer automatically for the next shot. Basically, PBB pistols have fewer parts than GBB pistols and thus are cheaper. They also cycle much faster, are more gas efficient, and offer a higher rate of fire.

Gas Blowback Pistol: It's the most popular type of airsoft guns. These gas blowback airsoft pistols offer very realistic operation and are relatively affordable. Also, they are offered in hundreds of styles. In a similar fashion to a real pistol, GBB pistols cycle with a slide whenever one shoots. As the slide cycles backward, it creates a loud noise and a sense of recoil. This creates a very realistic shooting sensation. This motion of the slide toward the rear helps cock the hammer for the subsequent shot. Full auto is available in some gas blowback pistols, and like a real pistol, slides on GBBs lock back in an open position when a pistol runs out of BBs.

CO2 Airsoft Pistols: These are extremely popular because, in most countries, these CO2 cartridges are very easily available compared to the airsoft gas. In general, the internal design of CO2 airsoft pistols is the same as the gas pistols. The only difference is that instead of a gas reservoir, the magazine holds a 12g CO2 cartridge in the pistol. You just replace the CO2 cartridge once it gets empty. These typically extend from 30 to 100 rounds on a single 12g CO2 cartridge. Depending on whether the pistol is a fixed slide version or blowback model. The primary advantage that using CO2 confers is better cold-weather performance than airsoft gas pistols. CO2 is at higher pressure and therefore generates a harder recoil impulse as well.
