Airsoft Handgun Type Details
Find out about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the right handgun can make a big difference in blasting your shots. Handguns, naturally, are short range airsoft weapons. They are most often created after firearm guns or imitations of actual pistols. A large number of airsoft pistols are fully certified models of their real-world gun equivalents. These airsoft guns can function (except for shooting bullets) in the same ways and look similarly to the real guns they are modeled after while blasting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these varieties of handguns have positives and negatives associated with them. Learning about the types of airsoft sidearms allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most heavy-duty and popular types of sidearms. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are great for airsoft games in cold and snowy weather because the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to performance decreases by temperature levels. This provides very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other types of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop functioning or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a shiny metallic cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cartridges cannot be refilled and you can usually order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely inside, once they are opened (firing them in an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not used up. You need to attempt to use up the whole CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level sign on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the pistol stops firing airsoft BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They come with a supplier’s expiry date normally listed on the box or cartridge, however, they can maintain pressure for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. The result on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is virtually the exact same as CO2 pistols with the weapons around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stored in the handgun’s magazine that can frequently hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the mag before the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When bringing a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a secondary or main weapon, bringing additional mags is strongly recommended for rapidly reloading. Having additional magazines helps you join in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are generally not approved to be used during indoor engagements. This is an essential safety rule because of the close range distance of gamers during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different types of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane gas is stored in the pistol mag by using rubber seals and gaskets, the cold can affect these seals and cause the gas to escape prior to shooting the handgun. This can make the airsoft BBs to only land a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the green gas handgun would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One option to this problem is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by putting them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket before game play. If you absolutely need to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that propel the airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are usually able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual functioning of reloading, firing, and cocking spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. When fighting enemies on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry like fully auto airsoft AEG rifles and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols, this can make spring airsoft guns enjoyable to use, but less effective.
Spring handguns perform most effectively in springer wars where game players can exclusively use similar, single shot spring pistols or as an alternative backup weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick 2nd followup shot is not needed due to the fact that the other person is now hit by the first shot and out of the game play or heading back to respawn. When engaging numerous enemies since the spring airsoft gun just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring handguns are very effective under the right conditions during airsoft games. Their FPS normally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These handguns normally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs because the pitched springs are less effective than other types of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring guns can usually engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to engage targets decreases quickly. Shooting conventional 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a range of around 60 to 80 feet with heightened precision.
Facts About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to carry as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They work similar to an AEG gun and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun mags usually can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually risen considerably in the last few years. The earliest generation guns were a little bit undependable and sketchy, however the more recent versions have the bugs resolved and make effective airsoft backup guns. They can be modded with increased mag capacities and by accommodating bigger batteries.
A significant advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the opportunity to rewire the wires to use an increased capacity battery with longer life. Based on the AEG handgun model, you are able to gain a substantial boost in efficiency by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as opposed to the standard mini battery. Take extra precautions when tweaking the components and wires since you should think about the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. Ask a qualified weapon tech at your local airsoft shop if you have modding concerns.
What Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Play with?
Finding the best airsoft pistol for you depends upon your budget, how much you wish to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. If you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, take a look at a green gas handgun or AEP pistol. These kinds of guns are normally the top of the line, have the best efficiency, and could be a really good gun to get. Take a look at a CO2 handgun or less costly GBB handgun if you have about fifty to one-hundred dollars to put towards an airsoft gun purchase. These will still get the job done and are pretty resilient sidearms. If you have less than $50, research a low end CO2 or springer pistol. You can still find a heavy-duty airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
