Airsoft Handgun Type Info
Find out about airsoft pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the right handgun can make a big difference in blasting your shots. Pistols, naturally, are diminished range airsoft weapons. They are normally crafted after actual handguns or models of authentic pistols. Quite a few airsoft pistols are fully certified reproductions of their real world gun counterparts. These airsoft guns can visually look and handle in the same ways identically to the real guns they are modeled around while firing airsoft BBs in place of real world bullets.
There are several varieties of airsoft handguns such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these styles of pistols has positives and negatives associated with them. Learning about the varieties of airsoft pistols allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most standard and long-lasting types of handguns. They are all season, all weather pistols and operate well in a lot of types of weather conditions and climates. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is generally located in the pistol’s mag inside the handle.
These types of airsoft handguns are great for playing in cold temperatures because the pressurized CO2 gas is less vulnerable to FPS decreases by temperature levels. This fact offers exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other kinds of airsoft guns like green gas cease to work or barely shoot pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a shiny cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas made up of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however when they are opened (firing them in an airsoft pistol 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 additional gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They come with the maker’s use by date typically noted on the box or cylinder, but they may stay pressurized for an extended time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 guns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel 6mm airsoft pellets. The result on game play and green gas sidearm effectiveness is basically the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and precisely hit targets at very short to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is held in the handgun’s airsoft mag that can usually hold between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol model. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas stored in the mag up until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When using a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a main or secondary gun, bringing additional magazines is highly recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional mags helps you get back in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not authorized to be used during indoor shooting. This is an essential safety rule because of the close range proximity of players during the shooting engagements. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a lower level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various types of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is stored in the handgun mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, the cold can negatively affect these gaskets and cause the stored gas to leak out before shooting the gun. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One fix for this issue is to try to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by holding them inside your jacket next to your body prior to game play. This can help to heat up the seals and valves and better seal in the green gas. It may also be worth buying a CO2 variation of your preferred pistol if you truly want to play airsoft with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun will shoot far better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Info on Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong coil springs that fire the airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are typically only able to shoot one BB. The manual functioning of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring airsoft guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes spring airsoft pistols enjoyable to use, yet they can be less effective when running into competitors on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry, auto airsoft AEG SMGs and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring handguns work most effectively in springer wars where airsoft players can solely use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a transition weapon for CQB environments when you can frequently surprise other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid second followup shot is not really needed considering that the other player is already hit by the first shot and out of the game play or headed back to respawn. When engaging numerous foes because the spring airsoft gun only fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring handguns are extremely effective under the most ideal scenarios and airsoft games. Spring guns can usually shoot accurately up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs but target accuracy decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Information
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to use as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s handle. They function much like an AEG rifle and use forced air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines generally can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs as high as about 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare mags to reload and the battery maintains its charge that long. These AEP handguns can effectively fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually grown significantly over the last few years. The initial generation AEP guns were a bit questionable and undependable, but the newer models have the issues resolved and make reliable airsoft backup guns. They can be further modded with enhanced magazine storage capacities together with accommodating larger batteries.
A huge advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the connectors to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol style, you can get a large jump in functionality by employing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the stock battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft handgun, take a look at a GBB pistol or automatic electric pistol. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to buy a gun, check out a good quality CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB pistol. If you are on a budget, you can still find a long lasting airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
