Info About Airsoft Pistol Designs
Learn about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft pistols are fully manufactured replications of their authentic weapon equivalents and look and function in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of real bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these kinds of handguns has benefits and differences related to them. Finding out about the types of airsoft sidearms lets you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most sturdy and standard styles of handguns. They are all-season, all-weather pistols working well in many kinds of weather, temperatures, and climates. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs down the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is generally held in the gun’s handle.
These types of airsoft weapons are excellent for airsoft games in cooler weather conditions because the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to variation with temperature levels. This offers great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for example where other sorts of guns like green gas stop working or hardly shoot pellets.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a shiny metallic cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas consisting of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however when they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft handgun breaks the 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 pistol target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are kept sealed. They are made with a supplier’s expiration date usually printed on the package or cylinder, however, they can survive for a long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearm Information
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, however they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is almost the same as CO2 handguns with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is stashed in the handgun’s airsoft magazine which can commonly hold between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the handgun style. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas pressurized in the mag before the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a backup or primary weapon, additional handgun mags are advised for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional magazines on-hand helps you re-engage in the action during firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not enabled to be used for indoor game play. This is an essential safety regulation due to the close quarters distance of players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a lower level compared to airsoft rifles, 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. To begin with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns operate like an actual handgun with the slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane causes the slide to cycle every time a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This effect is extremely cool, however the GBB handguns frequently cost more and likely have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols typically cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Since the green gas or propane is stored in the handgun mag using rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, cold temps can influence these o-rings and allow the stored gas to escape before shooting the pistol. The lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely land a few feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the handgun would typically shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One solution to this problem is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by holding them next to your body or near a heat source just before the airsoft game play. If you really want to play with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Information
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful coil springs that launch the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual action of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring pistols perform the best in springer battles where participants can only use related, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a rapid second followup shot is not really needed considering that the other opponent is now hit by the first shot and out of the game or heading back to respawn. When engaging several rivals because the weapon simply shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring handguns are quite effective under the best conditions during games. Spring pistols can generally shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but precision decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Info
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to bring into the field as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They work much like an AEG rifle and use pressurized air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun mags usually carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs approximately about 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS when loaded 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 (after every 20 to 30 rounds) and the battery maintains its charge that long. These AEP pistols can precisely shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually grown significantly recently. The first generations were a bit unreliable and questionable, but the more recent designs have most of the problems resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further modded with maximized magazine storage capacities as well as accommodating larger batteries.
A huge perk of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capacity to rewire the adapters to use an enhanced capacity battery with higher mAh. Depending on the AEG handgun model, you are able to get a sizable boost in performance and fire rate utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) in place of the standard battery. Be careful when tweaking the components and wires since you have to consider the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. Ask a qualified weapon tech at your nearest airsoft store or shop if you have customization issues.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me?
Looking for the best airsoft handgun for you depends on your budget, how often you intend to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. Take a look at a green gas blowback handgun or automatic electric AEP handgun if you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol. These kinds of pistols are usually the top-tier guns, have great performance, and are usually a pretty good gun to invest in. Look at a CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB handgun if you have in-between more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to put into an airsoft gun purchase. These guns will still function well and are pretty sturdy sidearms. If you have fifty dollars or less, consider a lower end CO2 or spring pistol. You can still get a long lasting airsoft handgun to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
