Airsoft Handgun Style Additional Information
Learn about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft handguns are fully manufactured and licensed releases of their actual gun counterparts and function and appear in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are several types of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these kinds of handguns have negatives and positives associated with them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft handguns allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most dependable and typical kinds of pistols. They are all-season pistols and function well in many kinds of temperatures, weather and climates. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs down the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is typically housed in the pistol’s mag inside the handle.
These styles of airsoft guns are good for airsoft games in cold weather due to the fact that the high pressure CO2 gas is less sensitive to performance decreases caused by low temperatures. This fact gives CO2 airsoft guns excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other types of pistols like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly shoot pellets.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a chrome cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas composed of just one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cylinders are not refillable and you can normally purchase them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely inside, but when they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not expended. You should attempt to burn up the whole CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas if the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level gauge on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the pistol stops firing BBs.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if they are stored sealed. They are made with a supplier’s expiry date typically noted on the box or cartridge, however, they will likely stay pressurized for a prolonged period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistol Details
Green gas airsoft sidearms are similar to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel the airsoft pellets. The impact on game play and green gas pistol effectiveness is practically the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to about 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 grip within the magazine which can commonly hold in-between 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs based on the handgun model. A series of valves, silicone gaskets, and o-rings keep the propane sealed in the pistol mag up until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good choice to top off and fill up the propane reserves in the magazine each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding players can also bring extra bottles of green gas or propane in the field for refilling magazines between breaks in the war or between gameplay.
When running a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or secondary gun, bringing extra mags is suggested for rapidly reloading. Having extra magazines on-hand allows you to join in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not permitted to be used during indoor engagements. This is an essential safety regulation due to the close range distance of airsoft players during 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 propelling the BB lower compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various types of green gas airsoft handguns. To start with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns run like an authentic pistol with the gun’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane triggers the slide to cycle each time a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This cycling is extremely cool, however the GBB weapons usually are more expensive and possibly have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns have a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback guns usually cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two varieties of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is housed in the mag by rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, cold weather can influence these o-rings and cause the gas to escape prior to shooting the gun. The lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to merely land a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would typically shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One fix for this issue is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by positioning them next to a heater or by your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to heat up the seals and valves and better seal in the green gas. It may also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun if you truly want to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Facts
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful coil springs that fire the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual action of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns.
Spring pistols work best in springer battles where game players can only use comparable, single shot spring handguns or as a transition backup weapon for CQB settings when you can often surprise other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a rapid 2nd followup shot isn’t called for since the other player is now hit by the first shot and out of the gameplay or going back to respawn. Be careful when engaging numerous opponents since the springer just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring handguns are considerably effective under the best scenarios. Their FPS usually chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12g airsoft BBs. These guns normally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the springs are less effective than other types of airsoft guns. Spring handguns can typically be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to engage targets accurately reduces rapidly. Choosing basic 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a decreased range of around 60 to 80 feet with heightened target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Information
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They operate just like an AEG gun and use forced air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines typically hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has risen substantially in the last few years. The initial generations were a bit questionable and undependable, however the newer models have most of the problems worked out and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be further upgraded with enhanced magazine capacities in addition to accommodating bigger batteries.
A big benefit of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the connectors to use an enhanced capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol version, you can get a substantial output in functionality using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative to the stock mini battery. Take care of customizing the components and wires since you must take into consideration the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. If you have customization concerns, ask a pro airsoft specialist at your nearest airsoft store or shop.
What Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Play with?
Deciding on the right airsoft pistol for you depends on your budget, how often you wish to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. If you have $100 or more to invest in your airsoft pistol, consider a green gas pistol or AEG pistol. These kinds of pistols are typically the best of the best, have great build qualities, and could be a good airsoft gun to invest in. Look at a CO2 handgun or cheaper green gas GBB pistol if you have about more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to spend. These mid-tier guns will still function well and are pretty sturdy sidearms. Look for a low end CO2 or spring pistol if you have fifty dollars or less. You can still get a dependable airsoft handgun to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
