Information About the Types of Airsoft Pistols
Learn about airsoft sidearms and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best handgun and practicing with it can make all the difference in the accuracy of your shots. Handguns, naturally, are short range airsoft guns. They are frequently constructed after genuine pistols or copies of real pistols. Numerous airsoft sidearms are fully licensed versions of their real-world weapon counterparts. These airsoft guns can function (sans shooting bullets) in the same ways and visually appear similarly to the real guns they are modeled after while firing airsoft BBs as opposed to real world bullets.
There are several types of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these varieties of handguns has negatives and positives associated with them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft handguns helps you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most sturdy and typical types of handguns. These pistols use CO2 stored in small cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These kinds of airsoft guns are exceptional for airsoft games in colder temperatures considering that the compressed CO2 gas is less vulnerable to performance decreases by temperature. This fact gives CO2 airsoft guns great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other varieties of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop performing or hardly fire BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a shiny cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, but when they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge 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 opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They come with a manufacturer’s best used by date typically printed on the package or cartridge, but they may maintain pressure for an extended time past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistol Details
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. The impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is practically the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the handgun’s mag which can typically hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending upon the gun model. A bunch of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the propane stored in the pistol magazine up until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good idea to top off and refill the green gas reserves in the magazine each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can additionally bring additional bottles of green gas in the field for refilling mags in-between lulls in the war or in-between game play.
When using a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a secondary or main gun, extra handgun magazines are suggested for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra magazines helps you re-engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields given that long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not authorized to be used during indoor game play. This is an essential safety rule because of the close quarters proximity of players during shooting engagements. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a decreased level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different kinds of green gas airsoft handguns. First there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols function like an authentic pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The propane causes the slide to cycle each time a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This cycling is very cool, however the GBB handguns typically cost more and likely have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback weapons commonly cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two kinds of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas typically can be used very well on the airsoft field, it does have limits. When they are used over the winter airsoft games in the snow or in cold temps (such as under 32 degrees F). Because the green gas or propane gas is held in the pistol mag by silicone seals and gaskets, cold temperatures can affect the seals and allow the stored gas to escape before shooting. The depressurized gas can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One strategy to this problem is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by positioning them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket prior to the airsoft game play. If you truly need to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be worth getting a CO2 style of your preferred pistol.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Information
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that shoot the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual functioning of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns.
Spring sidearms work best in springer wars where players can exclusively use related, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters backup weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can often sneak up to other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast 2nd follow-up shot isn’t required because the other player is already struck and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. Beware when fighting numerous enemies since the weapon only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring guns are incredibly efficient under the proper conditions during games. Spring guns can normally shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however accuracy reduces rapidly.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They operate much like an AEG rifle and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun mags generally can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch 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 increased considerably over the last few years. The initial gens were a bit undependable and sketchy, but the newer models have most of the issues worked out and make effective airsoft backup guns. They can be further upgraded with enhanced mag capacities as well as accommodating larger batteries.
A huge benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the connections to use an enhanced battery with higher mAh. Depending upon the AEG pistol design, you can get a substantial leap in performance by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative to the standard AEP battery. Beware of changing the elements and the gun’s wires because you have to think about the voltages, mAh, and loads of the battery. If you have modding questions, ask an experienced airsoft gun service tech at your closest airsoft shop.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft pistol, take a look at a GBB pistol or AEG pistol. If you have between $50 to $100 to upgrade your gun, evaluate a CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB handgun. If you have fifty dollars or less, you can still get a long lasting airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games.
