Airsoft Handgun Design Additional Info
Find information about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as extra guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft pistols are completely licensed releases of their actual firearm equivalents and function and look in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than real bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these types of sidearms come with benefits and differences associated with them. Finding out about the types of airsoft sidearms allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most standard and dependable styles of pistols. They are all weather pistols working well in lots of types of extreme temperatures, weather and climates. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs down the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is usually stored in the gun’s magazine.
These forms of airsoft pistols are great choices for playing in cold and snowy weather conditions due to the fact that the high pressure CO2 gas is less susceptible to performance decreases caused by low temperatures. This gives CO2 airsoft guns excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for example where other sorts of airsoft pistols like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a chrome cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas composed of just one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, but when they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have the manufacturer’s best used by date usually marked on the box or cartridge cylinder, but they can maintain pressure for a prolonged period past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane for propellant to propel 6mm airsoft BBs. The outcome on gameplay and green gas weapon performance is practically the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are efficiently fired in automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and accurate at short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is housed in the pistol’s mag and can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending on the handgun model. A sequence of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the green gas sealed in the pistol mag up to the point the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a good habit to top off and refill your green gas reserves in your mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can additionally carry additional bottles of green gas or propane in the field for refilling in-between lulls in the war or in-between gameplay.
When running a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a secondary or main weapon, extra mags are suggested for rapidly reloading. Having extra mags on-hand helps you join in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields considering that long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not permitted to be used during indoor shooting. This is a safety rule due to the close quarters distance of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. To start with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns run like a legitimate handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” with every shot. The gas causes the slide to cycle every time a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This effect is extremely cool, but the GBB guns often are more expensive and likely have more parts which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback weapons generally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Because the green gas or propane gas is stored in the handgun magazine by using rubber seals and silicone gaskets, cold temperatures can impact these seals and allow the gas to escape before shooting the handgun. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One option to this problem is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by holding them next to your body or near a heat source prior to the airsoft game play starts. If you absolutely want to play with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 style of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that shoot the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual action of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring airsoft guns work the best in springer wars where game players can solely use comparable, single shot spring guns or as a transitional backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a rapid second followup shot is not needed due to the fact that the other opponent is now hit by the first BB and out of the game or heading back to respawn. Beware when engaging numerous opponents considering the gun only shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring handguns are really efficient under the appropriate scenarios. Their FPS commonly chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons generally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the pitched springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft weapons. Spring guns can normally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but precision is reduced quickly. Choosing normal 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a range of about 60 to 80 feet or less with enhanced target accuracy.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to carry as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They operate just like an AEG rifle and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun mags usually can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has grown substantially recently. The initial gen guns were a bit unreliable and sketchy, however the latest versions have most of the deficiencies worked out and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further modified with maximized mag capacities as well as accommodating more powerful batteries.
A massive benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the connections to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you can gain a sizable output in performance by employing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, you may want to consider a GBB pistol or automatic electric handgun. If you have between $50 to $100 to spend, look at a CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB pistol. You can still find a durable airsoft pistol by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft pistols if you are trying to save money.
