About Airsoft Handgun Types
Find information about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as extra weapons or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft handguns are completely licensed releases of their genuine pistol equivalents and run and look in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these kinds of pistols have negatives and positives related to them. Learning about the styles of airsoft handguns helps you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most sturdy and typical styles of handguns. They are all season weapons and function well in many types of varying temperatures, weather and environments. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is typically housed in the handgun’s handle.
These types of airsoft handguns are very good for playing in cooler temperatures considering that the high pressure CO2 gas is less sensitive to performance variations caused by temperature. This offers great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other types of airsoft handguns like green gas stop working or hardly fire pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a chrome cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas comprised of one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, but when they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if they are kept sealed. They come with the manufacturer’s expiration date normally printed on the box or cartridge cylinder, however they will maintain pressure for a very long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearm Information
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 pistols, however they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the pistol’s magazine which can often hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol model. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the mag until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a main or secondary weapon, additional handgun mags are encouraged for rapidly reloading. Having extra magazines helps you reengage in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping buildings 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 typically not approved to be used during indoor gameplay. This is a safety rule because of the close range distance of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is housed in the pistol mag using rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, cold temps can affect these o-rings and cause the gas to leak out prior to shooting the gun. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when it would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this issue is to try to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by holding them near your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the rubber gaskets and better seal in the green gas. If you really desire to have fun with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold, it may also be better to buy a CO2 version of your preferred pistol. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun will shoot far better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs that propel the airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are normally single shot. The manual action of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring airsoft guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. This makes them fun to use, yet they can be less efficient when running into rivals on the airsoft field with upgraded airsoft guns like automatic airsoft AEG SMGs and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring pistols work best in springer battles where airsoft players can just use related, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters combat backup gun for CQB buildings when you can often surprise other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a quick 2nd followup shot will not be required since the other person is now hit by the first BB and out of the game play or moving back to respawn. When engaging many different rivals because the spring gun simply shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring handguns are incredibly effective under the best conditions. Spring guns like pistols can commonly shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to engage targets reduces quickly.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They function just like an AEG gun and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines usually can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs right up to about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends if you have enough spare magazines to reload and the battery lasts that long. These AEP pistols can accurately fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually risen considerably in the last few years. The first generation AEP guns were a little bit undependable and questionable, but the more recent models have the bugs worked out and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be modded with enhanced mag storage capacities in addition to accommodating bigger batteries.
A substantial advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the adapters to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol style, you can get a huge jump in efficiency by adopting a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the stock battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
If you have $100 or more to use to buy your airsoft pistol, evaluate a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric pistol. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to invest, review a CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB handgun. If you have $50 or less, you can still look for a durable airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games by checking out lower end pistols and by shopping the used airsoft gun market.
