Airsoft Pistol Design Additional Info
Find information about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft pistols are completely manufacturer licensed replications of their authentic gun counterparts and look and function in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of real bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these styles of handguns has benefits and differences connected with them. Finding out about the kinds of airsoft handguns allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most durable and popular kinds of pistols. They are all season, all weather handguns and function well in a lot of types of extreme temperatures, weather and climates. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is normally housed in the pistol’s magazine.
These forms of airsoft handguns are exceptional for playing airsoft in cooler temperatures considering that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to variation by temperature. This fact provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other kinds of airsoft handguns like green gas stop performing or hardly shoot pellets.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a metallic cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas consisting of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can usually buy them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas securely within, but once they are punctured (shooting them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You should attempt to consume the entire CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the pistol stops shooting.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if they are stored sealed. They are made with a manufacturer’s expiration date usually listed on the box or cylinder, however, they can last for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistol Information
Green gas airsoft sidearms function similarly to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft pellets. The outcome on game play and green gas pistol effectiveness is almost the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ FPS. Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or automatic firing modes and can accurately hit targets at short to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s mag which can commonly hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending upon the handgun model. A set of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the green gas sealed in the magazine up to the point the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great choice to fill up and top off the green gas reserves in your mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can even bring extra bottles of green gas or propane in the field for refilling mags in-between breaks in the battle or between activities.
When playing with a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a backup or primary weapon, bringing extra handgun mags is strongly recommended for rapidly reloading. Having additional magazines on-hand helps you re-engage in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not permitted to be used for indoor gameplay. This is a safety standard because of the close quarters distance of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different styles of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas typically can be used effectively, it does have issues. This includes when green gas guns are played with in the winter airsoft games in the snow or in colder temperatures (like less than 32 deg F). Considering that the green gas or propane is kept in the magazine by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can negatively affect the seals and cause the stored gas to leak out prior to shooting. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would ordinarily shoot BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer temps).
One option to this issue is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by holding them next to your body prior to game play starts. If you absolutely want to play with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that launch the BBs down the pistol barrel. They are typically one shot. The manual functioning of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. When dealing with challengers on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles, fully auto airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns, this can make spring airsoft guns fun to use, but less efficient.
Spring guns work most effectively in springer wars where airsoft players can just use comparable, single shot spring guns or as a transitional backup weapon for CQB environments when you can often sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick 2nd follow-up shot is not needed given that the other player is now hit by the first shot and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. Look out when engaging several foes given that the spring weapon only shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring handguns are extremely effective under the proper conditions during airsoft games. Spring guns can generally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but target accuracy decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They operate just like an AEG SMG and use forced air with electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG handgun mags normally carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually increased substantially in the last few years. The first generation guns were a bit questionable and unreliable, but the newer versions have the issues resolved and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be modded with increased mag storage capacities as well as accommodating more powerful batteries.
A big benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the connections to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol design, you can gain a huge output in performance by adopting a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Buy?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft pistol, check out a GBB pistol or AEG pistol. If you have in-between $50 to $100 to upgrade your gun, check out a good quality CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB pistol. If you have less than fifty dollars, you can still find a long lasting airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games.
