Airsoft Pistol Type Info
Find information about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft handguns are completely licensed models of their real weapon equivalents and look and operate in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a number of kinds of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these styles of sidearms has benefits and differences associated with them. Finding out about the types of airsoft pistols lets you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearm Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are among the most typical and long-lasting kinds of handguns. They are all season handguns and function well in lots of types of weather and environments. These sidearms use high pressure CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is generally housed in the handgun’s magazine.
These types of airsoft pistols are great for airsoft games in cold and snowy weather since the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance decreases caused by temperature. This provides very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other varieties of airsoft handguns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely fire BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a shiny cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas comprised of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cartridges cannot be refilled and you can commonly buy them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, once they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You ought to try to use up the entire CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas leftover, use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the remaining surplus gas. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the gun stops cycling.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are stored sealed. They do have a supplier’s expiration date typically listed on the box or cartridge cylinder, but they can stay pressurized for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearm Info
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is virtually the very same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stashed in the pistol’s magazine which can normally hold around 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol style. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the gas pressurized in the magazine up until the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a main or backup weapon, extra handgun magazines are advised for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra mags on-hand allows you to reengage in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not approved to be used for indoor game play. This is an essential safety standard because of the close range distance of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. First there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns run like a real pistol with the gun’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. Each time a new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. This functioning while shooting is very cool, however the GBB guns usually cost more and potentially have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback weapons generally cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same when comparing the two varieties of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Since the green gas or propane gas is housed in the handgun magazine by rubber seals and silicone gaskets, cold temperatures can influence these seals and cause the stored gas to escape before shooting the pistol. This lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a number of feet (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the pistol would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One option to this issue is to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by holding them next to your body or by a heater prior to game play. If you absolutely desire to play with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold, it might also be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred pistol.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Info
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful coil springs that fire the BBs out of the gun barrel. The manual action of cocking, firing, and reloading spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring pistols work most effectively in springer wars where players can exclusively use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a transitional weapon for CQB buildings when you can often sneak up to other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a rapid second followup shot is not called for since the other person is already struck and out of the game play or going back to respawn. Beware when fighting many different opponents due to the fact that the weapon only shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring pistols are incredibly useful under the most ideal conditions during games. Spring guns can usually fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets reduces quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring into the field as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They function much like an AEG gun and use pressurized air pumped through electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun mags generally hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs as high as about 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 rounds) and the battery lasts that long. These handguns can precisely fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually increased substantially in the last few years. The initial generation guns were a little bit sketchy and undependable, but the latest designs have the issues resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be modded with increased mag capacities and also accommodating bigger batteries.
A big benefit of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connectors to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can gain a substantial output in performance by using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, take a look at a green gas blowback handgun or automatic electric pistol. If you have around $50 to $100 to shell out, look at a CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB pistol. If you have $50 or less, you can still choose a durable airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
