Info About the Varieties of Airsoft Pistols
Find information about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft pistols are fully licensed variations of their genuine pistol counterparts and look and run in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than actual bullets.
There are a few kinds of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these varieties of handguns has negatives and positives connected with them. Finding out about the types of airsoft sidearms lets you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft sidearms are among the most sturdy and common styles of pistols. They are all season guns and function well in lots of kinds of weather, extreme temperatures, and climates. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is normally housed in the gun’s magazine inside the handle.
These styles of airsoft handguns are good choices for airsoft games in cold and snowy weather considering that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to variation with temperature levels. This gives CO2 airsoft sidearms great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other types of airsoft sidearms like green gas cease to work or barely shoot BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a shiny metallic cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas comprised of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, but soon after they are opened (firing them in an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are kept sealed. They have a manufacturer’s use by date typically noted on the package or cartridge cylinder, but they will maintain pressure for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistol Information
Green gas airsoft sidearms resemble CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot the airsoft pellets. The effect on game play and green gas pistol effectiveness is basically the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are quickly fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can accurately hit targets at short to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is sealed in the handgun’s mag which can frequently hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending upon the handgun design. A sequence of valves, silicone gaskets, and o-rings keep the green gas pressurized in the pistol mag up to when the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a good plan to refill and top off the green gas supply in the mag each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding players can additionally bring extra bottles of propane in the field for reloading magazines in-between lulls in the battle or in-between missions.
When playing with a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a main or backup gun, bringing additional handgun magazines is advised for rapidly reloading. Having extra mags on-hand helps you join in the action during firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields given that long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not permitted to be used for indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety regulation because of the close range proximity of players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various types of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Since the green gas or propane gas is kept in the magazine by using rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, cold weather can impact these gaskets and allow the gas to escape before shooting. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the green gas handgun would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One solution to this issue is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by positioning them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket just before the airsoft game play. If you really need to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite pistol.
Details About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs that launch the BBs out of the handgun barrel. They are generally able to only shoot one BB. The manual functioning of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. This makes them interesting to use, however they are less useful when taking on other players on the airsoft field with upgraded airsoft guns, auto airsoft AEG SMGs and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring sidearms work most effectively in springer wars where opponents can exclusively use related, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast second follow-up shot will not be required given that the other opponent is already hit by the first BB and out of the game or headed back to respawn. Look out when fighting a number of opponents considering that the spring weapon only shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring pistols are really efficient under the appropriate conditions. Spring guns can often shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to hit targets decreases quickly.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They work similar to an AEG gun and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines typically hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually risen substantially in recent years. The initial gen AEP guns were a bit sketchy and unreliable, however the latest models have the bugs resolved and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modified with enhanced mag storage capacities as well as accommodating bigger batteries.
A large benefit of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the battery wires to use a more substantial battery with longer life. Depending upon the AEG handgun model, you may be able to get a large boost in functionality utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) in place of the standard AEP battery. Take care of tweaking the elements and the gun’s wires because you should take into account the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. Ask a pro airsoft gun service technician at your nearest airsoft shop or store if you have modding inquiries.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Play with?
Choosing the right airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you can afford to spend, how often you desire to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. Look into a GBB green gas handgun or automatic electric AEP pistol if you have $100 or more to spend on your airsoft handgun. These are usually the top of the line, have the greatest efficiency, and could be a great airsoft gun to invest in. Check out a CO2 handgun or cheaper green gas GBB handgun if you have around more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to put into an airsoft gun purchase. Middle of the road guns like these will still do the job and can be pretty long lasting sidearms. Look for a low end CO2 or spring pistol if you have fifty dollars or less. You can still buy a heavy-duty airsoft pistol to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
