Info About Airsoft Handgun Types
Learn about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. A large number of airsoft pistols are completely manufactured and licensed releases of their genuine firearm counterparts and look and function in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these types of pistols come with positives and negatives connected with them. Finding out about the varieties of airsoft handguns helps you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most sturdy and standard styles of handguns. They are all season weapons and operate well in a lot of types of weather and environments. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is typically kept in the gun’s magazine inside the handle.
These types of airsoft handguns are great choices for airsoft games in colder weather conditions given that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance decreases with temperature levels. This provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other varieties of sidearms like green gas stop operating or hardly shoot BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a metallic cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas comprised of one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, hence the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cylinders under extremely high pressure of around ~ 800psi that correlates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, but soon after they are opened (firing them in 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 chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They are made with a supplier’s use by date normally marked on the box or cylinder, however, they will survive for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns function similarly to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot the airsoft BBs. The effect on gameplay and green gas handgun efficiency is practically the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ FPS. Shots are efficiently fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at very short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is kept in the handgun’s airsoft magazine that can frequently hold between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the pistol design. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the gas pressurized in the mag before the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When bringing a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a secondary or main gun, bringing extra handgun magazines is encouraged for quickly reloading. Having additional magazines on-hand helps you join in the action during firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not authorized to be used for indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety regulation because of the close range proximity of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB lower compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various styles of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas typically functions effectively, it does have limits. When green gas and GBB guns are used over the winter playing in the snow or in cold temperatures (like below 32 deg F). Considering that the green gas or propane gas is held in the magazine using silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, the cold can impact these seals and cause the gas to escape before shooting. This can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would typically shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One solution to this challenge is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by placing them next to your body just before the game play. This can help to warm the seals, gaskets, and valves and help to seal in the green gas. If you definitely want to play airsoft with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and these guns shoot much better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Information
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs that fire the BBs out of the gun barrel. They are usually single shot. The manual action of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. When engaging players on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles, fully automatic airsoft AEG assault rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols, this makes spring airsoft guns enjoyable to use, however less efficient.
Spring sidearms and guns work best in springer battles where participants can exclusively use similar, single shot spring handguns or as an alternative backup gun for CQB buildings when you can frequently surprise other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick second followup shot will not be called for given that the other player is already struck and out of the game or moving back to respawn. Take care when engaging numerous opponents because the spring weapon only fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring guns are quite reliable under the appropriate circumstances and airsoft games. Their FPS generally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These weapons usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the pitched springs are less effective than other styles of airsoft weapons. Spring pistols can usually be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to hit targets diminishes quickly. Shooting basic 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a range of around 60 to 80 feet with improved accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Details
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to use as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They function just like an AEG SMG and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun mags usually hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually risen considerably recently. The early gens were a bit sketchy and undependable, but the latest designs have most of the deficiencies worked out and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be upgraded with increased mag capacities together with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the connections to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can get a sizable increase in efficiency by employing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Buy?
Picking the right airsoft pistol for you depends upon how much you can afford, how often you desire to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. If you can afford more than $100 to invest in your airsoft pistol, look at a green gas handgun or AEP pistol. These are usually the top of the line, have the very best performance, and can be a good gun to get. If you have in-between more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to spend on upgrading your airsoft arsenal, look into a CO2 pistol or a second-tier green gas blowback pistol. These guns will still function well and are pretty durable sidearms. If you have fifty dollars or less, look for a cheap CO2 or springer pistol. You can still buy a strong airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games.
