It's the top portion of the gun that slides back and re-loads the airgun with the next shot when the gun is fired. The slide is literally blownback by the gas in the gun. It slides forward as it re-loads the chamber, all with the pull of the trigger.

What is a blowback on a bb gun?

Blowback on a BB gun is a repeater. When you pull the trigger the gun fires and the top of the gun reciprocates (Blowsback) and auto load and cocks the next shot. If you have ever seen a modern forearm slide back an forth each time it is fired then you have seen Blowback.


Is there such thing as a 22 blowback handgun?

Most .22 LR semiautomatic handguns operate by blowback. Basically, the weight of the slide and the recoil spring hold the casing in the chamber long enough for the bullet to leave the barrel. There is no need to for barrel and slide to lock for a low-powered round like the 22LR.


Do all blowback bb pistol chambers lock when they are empty like a real gun?

No. There are a few that do not lock back. These are not really Blowbacks. On these, When you pull the trigger you actually move the slide back (Your finger is doing all the work) and it flies forward to fire the BB. The best way to check for real Blowback, is take a Blowback that is empty, and pull the slide back. If it locks back in place, then it will lock when you empty all the BB's after shooting. Then take the BB clip out and pull again on the slide and it should slide all the way forward. Then put the BB clip back in.


Should you get a blowback airsoft pistol or a non-blowback?

Blowback pistols are obviously more expensive than non-blowback pistols. On the other hand non-blowback pistols generally have a higher fps and are alot cheaper. It seems that they can use CO2 with less damage or wear and tear to the gun. They seem harder to clean and it seems as though alot of them have internal magazines which are a bit annoying to load. Blowback pistols are obviously easier to load and easier to clean, however it seems as though alot of guns have atleast one problem. That problem could be with a leaking or a slide that doesn't go back all the way. Blowback pistols ALWAYS seem like they have a leaky mag problem and are gas whores, while non-blowback pistols are extremely gas efficient and there mags never leak.
