gas blow back is when a bullet is fired the gasses propel it along the bore of the rifle. After the bullet leaves, some of the gas is expelled and some of it goes onto a second tube at the top. on the ak-47 it is the weird looking curved tube above the barrel. on an m16 it its the front aiming sight bar that rises up. and then goes into the handgaurd. Tej gases then shoot backpushing the empty cartrige out causing the machanism to slide another from the magazine in its place.

If two rifles have the same barrel length and caliber but one is blowback and the other one is gas operated which one is more accurate?

The gas-operated rifle is generally more accurate than the blowback rifle. Gas-operated systems typically have less recoil and muzzle movement, resulting in better shot-to-shot stability and improved accuracy. Additionally, gas-operated rifles often have better overall design and construction, which further contributes to their superior accuracy.

Which is the best WE gas blow back rifle?

'WE PDW Compact Full Metal Airsoft Gas Blowback GBB Rifle' is one that I would recommend to you. I am considering the fact that most players use their GBB's for CQB settings, which is another reason why I would tell you to consider this. The folding stock will help you stabilize for the mid-range shots, while you can easily fold it out of your way for door-breaching.

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.
