About Airsoft Handgun Designs
Learn more about airsoft sidearms and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the right pistol can be a game changer in hitting your shots. Pistols, by nature, are short range airsoft guns. They are normally produced after actual handguns or models of actual handguns. Lots of airsoft pistols are fully certified versions of their real-world handgun counterparts. These airsoft guns can run in the same ways and visually appear almost identically to the real guns they are designed after while firing airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are several varieties of airsoft pistols such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these forms of sidearms has positives and negatives associated with them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft pistols helps you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most typical and sturdy types of handguns. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These styles of airsoft handguns are excellent for playing in cooler weather conditions given that the pressurized CO2 gas is less sensitive to FPS decreases with temperature. This offers very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other kinds of handguns like green gas cease to operate or barely fire pellets.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, but once they are opened (firing them in an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) they will start 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 pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They come with a manufacturer’s best used by date normally noted on the box or cartridge, however, they will probably last for a prolonged time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft sidearms function similarly to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot the airsoft pellets. The outcome on airsoft games and green gas pistol performance is practically the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are rapidly fired in automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can accurately hit targets at short to mid-range ranges.
The propane gas is stashed in the handgun’s airsoft mag that can commonly hold around 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the pistol style. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the mag up until the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When using a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a backup or main gun, bringing extra handgun magazines is recommended for quickly reloading. Having extra magazines allows you to reengage in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not allowed to be used for indoor shooting. This is a safety standard due to the close quarters proximity of gamers during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different styles of green gas airsoft pistols. To start with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns run like a genuine pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. The propane induces the slide to cycle each time when a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This effect is extremely cool, but the GBB handguns usually cost more and potentially have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback guns usually cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same between the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Because the green gas or propane gas is stored in the handgun magazine using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can negatively affect these gaskets and allow the gas to escape prior to shooting the gun. This lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only land a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the green gas handgun would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One fix for this problem is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by holding them next to a heater or by your body before game play. This can help to heat up the rubber gaskets and help to seal in the green gas. It might also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun if you truly need to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and these guns shoot much better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Info
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that shoot the BBs out of the gun barrel. The manual functions of reloading, cocking, and shooting spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB guns.
Spring sidearms and guns work best in springer battles where participants can only use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters combat weapon for CQB settings when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick second follow-up shot is not needed since the other person is now hit by the first BB and out of the game play or running back to respawn. When engaging a number of rivals considering that the spring gun just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring guns are very reliable under the most ideal circumstances. Their FPS generally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These handguns usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring handguns can typically shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets accurately diminishes rapidly. Choosing conventional 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a reduced shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet or less with heightened precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Facts
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to use as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s handle. They work much like an AEG SMG and use forced air with electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags normally hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs as high as about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough spare magazines to maintain the ammo supply and the battery maintains its charge that long. These AEP handguns can effectively shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually increased significantly in recent years. The initial generation AEP guns were a little bit undependable and sketchy, but the latest versions have most of the problems resolved and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modded with maximized mag storage capacities and by accommodating more powerful batteries.
A massive advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol style, you can gain a substantial increase in efficiency by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the stock battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Buy?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft pistol, evaluate a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric pistol. If you have around $50 to $100 to shell out, evaluate a CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB pistol. You can still get a long lasting airsoft pistol by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft handguns if you are trying to save money.
