Airsoft Handgun Variety Details
Learn more about airsoft pistols and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the right pistol can make all the difference in nailing your shots. Sidearms, naturally, are reduced range airsoft guns. They are quite often manufactured after real sidearms or models of authentic handguns. A large number of airsoft sidearms are completely certified releases of their real world handgun equivalents. These airsoft guns can look and function (sans shooting bullets) in the same ways identical to the real guns they are modeled around while shooting airsoft BBs in place of actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these types of pistols come with benefits and differences related to them. Learning about the styles of airsoft sidearms lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most popular and long lasting styles of handguns. They are all season guns working well in lots of kinds of weather, temperatures, and environments. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is normally kept in the pistol’s magazine.
These types of airsoft weapons are great for airsoft games in cooler weather conditions because the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to FPS decreases caused by low temperature. This provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other sorts of airsoft guns like green gas cease to operate or hardly fire airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a chrome metal cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas made up of one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, thus the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under very high pressure of near ~ 800psi that translates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, but as soon as they are opened (firing them in an airsoft gun 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 opportunity to do some handgun 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 best used by date usually printed on the box or cartridge, however, they will likely survive for a long time past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistol Information
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, but they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is practically the very same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stored in the handgun’s mag and can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending on the gun model. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the propane pressurized in the magazine prior to when the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great idea to top off and fill up your green gas reserves in the magazine each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can additionally bring supplemental bottles of green gas or propane in the field for reloading magazines between lulls in the battle or between game play.
When carrying a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup weapon, extra pistol mags are advised for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional mags helps you reengage in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields given that long guns and full-sized AEGs are usually not permitted to be used during indoor game play. This is a safety rule due to the close range distance of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns function like an actual pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. When a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas causes the slide to cycle. The result is extremely cool, however the GBB weapons usually are more expensive and potentially have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback pistols normally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same between the two types of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas generally works extremely well, it does have restrictions. When green gas and GBB guns are used over the winter in the snow or in cold temps (like below 32 deg F). Considering that the green gas or propane gas is held in the weapon’s mag using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, low temperatures can affect the seals and make the stored gas to escape before firing the handgun. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One fix for this issue is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them next to a heater or by your body prior to game play. This can help to warm up the seals, gaskets, and valves and help to seal in the green gas. If you really desire to use a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold, it can also be better to buy a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and these guns shoot much better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Info on Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs that propel the airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. They are normally single shot. The manual actions of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. When shooting at other airsoft players on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles like fully automatic airsoft AEG rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols, this can make them entertaining to use, however less efficient.
Spring airsoft guns perform the best in springer battles where game players can only use related, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters combat weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick second follow-up shot isn’t really needed since 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 gun only fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring guns are extremely reliable under the right game conditions. Spring pistols can commonly shoot accurately up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to hit targets decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Info
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to use as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They function just like an AEG SMG and use pressurized air pumped through electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol mags normally can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually grown considerably in the last few years. The first generation AEP guns were a bit unreliable and sketchy, but the new versions have the issues worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further upgraded with maximized magazine capacities as well as accommodating bigger batteries.
A substantial benefit of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the capacity to rewire the adapters to use an enhanced capacity battery with longer life. Based on the AEG pistol model, you are able to get a substantial output in performance using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) in place of the standard AEP battery. Take care of changing the elements and wires since you must consider the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. Ask a pro airsoft gun tech at your closest airsoft store or shop if you have modding issues.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
Choosing the right airsoft handgun for you depends upon how much you can afford, how often you want to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. If you can afford over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, consider a green gas blowback handgun or AEG handgun. These kinds of pistols are typically the top-tier guns, have the best performance, and can be a pretty good investment. If you have around more than $50 but less than $100 to spend, take a look at a CO2 pistol or a less expensive green gas handgun. Middle of the road guns like these will still do the job and can be pretty resilient sidearms. Look for a cheap CO2 or spring pistol if you have $50 or less. You can still get a long-lasting airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
