Airsoft Pistol Variety Details
Learn about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft pistols are completely manufacturer licensed replications of their genuine pistol counterparts and look and run in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these kinds of pistols have negatives and positives associated with them. Finding out about the varieties of airsoft sidearms allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most common and dependable types of pistols. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to send airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These kinds of airsoft weapons are good choices for airsoft games in cold and snowy temperatures due to the fact that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to performance variations with low temperatures. This offers great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other sorts of airsoft guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely fire pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a chrome metal cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas composed of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, as a result of the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cylinders under really high pressure of roughly ~ 800psi that converts to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but when they are opened (firing them in an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) they will start 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 extra gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They are made with a supplier’s use by date typically printed on the package or cartridge, however, they will probably stay pressurized for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft sidearms are similar to CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane for propellant to propel the airsoft pellets. The effect on the airsoft battlefield and green gas pistol effectiveness is practically the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are rapidly fired in automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and precisely hit targets at short to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s grip within the magazine which can often hold between 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending on the pistol design. A bunch of valves, rubber stoppers, and seals keep the gas stored in the magazine until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great habit to fill up and top off the propane supply in your pistol mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding gamers can even bring excess bottles of green gas in the field for reloading magazines in-between breaks in the fight or in-between game play.
When running a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a backup or main weapon, bringing extra mags is advised for rapidly reloading. Having additional mags allows you to reengage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not permitted to be used for indoor gameplay. This is a safety rule due to the close quarters distance of players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB at a decreased 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 varieties of green gas airsoft handguns. To start with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns operate like a realistic handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. When a brand-new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. This effect is really cool, however the guns often are more expensive and likely have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback pistols commonly cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two varieties of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane is housed in the handgun mag by rubber o-rings, seals, and silicone gaskets, cold temps can negatively affect these seals and allow the gas to leak out before shooting the handgun. The lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just land a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the GBB handgun would normally shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One option to this problem is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by placing them next to your body prior to the airsoft game play starts. If you truly need to play with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold, it might also be worth getting a CO2 style of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs that shoot the BBs out of the gun’s barrel. The manual functions of firing, cocking, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols.
Spring airsoft guns perform the best in springer wars where players can solely use comparable, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters combat weapon for CQB buildings when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast second followup shot isn’t really needed due to the fact that the other opponent is now hit by the first shot and out of the game or heading back to respawn. When engaging several attackers since the spring gun simply shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring pistols are incredibly efficient under the proper circumstances and airsoft games. Their FPS normally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These weapons typically fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the pitched springs are less effective than other styles of airsoft guns. Spring guns can usually shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but precision is reduced quickly. Using basic 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a reduced shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet or less with increased target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to use as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They work much like an AEG rifle and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines usually hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually risen significantly recently. The earliest generations were a little bit undependable and sketchy, but the latest models have most of the bugs resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be modded with increased magazine storage capacities and also accommodating larger batteries.
A large advantage of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the connections to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you can get a large jump in efficiency by adopting a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Buy?
Choosing the right airsoft pistol for you depends upon how much you can afford to spend, how often you desire to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. Look at a GBB green gas pistol or AEP pistol if you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun. These guns are normally the top of the line, have the greatest build qualities, and are usually a really good pistol to buy. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to use for your gun, check out a CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB handgun. These will still finish the job and can be pretty resilient sidearms. Look for a cheaper CO2 or spring handgun if you have fifty dollars or less. You can still find a dependable airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
