Airsoft Pistol Design Additional Information
Learn more about airsoft guns like pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the ideal pistol can make an impact in nailing your shots. Pistols, naturally, are short range airsoft weapons. They are quite often made after genuine pistols or miniatures of actual handguns. A lot of airsoft pistols are fully certified editions of their real world gun counterparts. These airsoft guns can look and function (except for shooting bullets) in the same ways identically to the real guns they are modeled after while shooting airsoft BBs as opposed to real-world bullets.
There are several types of airsoft pistols including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these kinds of sidearms have benefits and differences related to them. Learning about the styles of airsoft handguns allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most long-lasting and standard varieties of handguns. They are all-season, all-weather handguns and operate well in many types of temperatures, weather and climates. 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 generally located in the gun’s handle.
These types of airsoft pistols are very good for playing airsoft in cold weather conditions given that the compressed CO2 gas is less prone to FPS decreases by low temperature. This provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other varieties of airsoft sidearms like green gas cease to function or barely shoot pellets.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny steel cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas comprised of just one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, and so the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridges under extremely high pressure of near ~ 800psi that correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 cylinders cannot be refilled and you can normally purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely and securely inside, but once they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not used up. You must attempt to dissipate the entire CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level sign on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the handgun stops firing airsoft BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They are made with the supplier’s expiration date normally marked on the box or cylinder, but they will likely last for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Handgun Information
Green gas airsoft handguns resemble CO2 guns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane for propellant to propel 6mm airsoft pellets. The operational impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to 300+ FPS. Shots are efficiently fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and can accurately hit targets at very short to mid-range proximities.
The propane is stashed in the handgun’s magazine which can usually hold around 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun style. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas stored in the magazine before the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When bringing a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a main or secondary weapon, extra pistol mags are highly recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra magazines helps you get back in the action throughout firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are generally not allowed to be used during indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety guideline due to the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB at a decreased level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various types of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane is stored in the handgun magazine using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temps can negatively impact these gaskets and cause the gas to escape prior to shooting the gun. This can make the airsoft BBs to just land a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would normally shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One strategy to this issue is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them next to your body prior to game play. If you absolutely need to play with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Details
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful coil springs that shoot the BBs out of the handgun’s barrel. The manual functions of firing, cocking, and reloading spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring handguns work best in springer wars where players can just use similar, single shot spring handguns or as an alternative weapon for CQB environments when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick second follow-up shot will not be needed considering that the other opponent is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the gameplay or going back to respawn. Be careful when fighting numerous opponents because the springer just shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring guns are quite reliable under the right game conditions. Their FPS usually chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs. These pistols usually fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs because the coiled springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft guns. Spring pistols can generally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however precision decreases quickly. Using regular 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a reduced shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet or less with improved precision.
Facts About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to bring into the field as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They operate just like an AEG SMG and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags generally can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute assuming you have enough spare magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 rounds) and the battery holds out that long. These AEP handguns can efficiently shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has risen significantly over the last few years. The initial generation AEP guns were a bit questionable and unreliable, but the more recent models have most of the deficiencies worked out and make reliable airsoft backup guns. They can be further upgraded with increased magazine storage capacities and by accommodating bigger batteries.
A significant perk of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the opportunity to rewire the wires to use a bigger battery with longer life. Depending upon the AEG pistol style, you may be able to gain a big jump in functionality utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the standard AEP battery. Be careful with modifying the parts and wires because you need to consider the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. If you have customization concerns, ask a pro airsoft technician at your local airsoft store or shop.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
If you have $100 or more to use to buy your airsoft handgun, evaluate a green gas blowback handgun or AEG pistol. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to buy a gun, look at a CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB pistol. If you have $50 or less, you can still find a resilient airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
