Airsoft Handgun Design Additional Info
Find information about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A large number of airsoft handguns are fully licensed variations of their authentic weapon equivalents and look and operate in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than real bullets.
There are a few varieties of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these forms of pistols have benefits and differences associated with them. Learning about the styles of airsoft sidearms allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most long-lasting and typical types of pistols. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These styles of airsoft handguns are great for airsoft games in cold and snowy weather conditions given that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to FPS decreases by low temperature. This provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for example where other styles of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop working or hardly shoot pellets.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, subsequently the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under very high pressure of around ~ 800psi that translates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, but the moment they are opened (firing them in an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have a supplier’s expiry date normally noted on the package or cylinder, however they will likely survive for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. The result on the battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is practically the very same as CO2 pistols with the weapons at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stored in the pistol’s magazine which can typically hold between 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending upon the handgun design. A sequence of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the propane gas sealed in the magazine up to the point the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good plan to fill up and top off your green gas reserves in the magazine each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can additionally carry excess bottles of green gas in the field for reloading magazines in-between breaks in the fight or in-between activities.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a backup or primary weapon, extra pistol mags are strongly recommended for rapidly reloading. Having extra mags on-hand allows you to re-engage in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are usually not approved to be used for indoor engagements. This is a safety regulation due to the close range distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy moving 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 various styles of green gas airsoft handguns. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols operate like a genuine pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane causes the slide to cycle each time a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This functioning while shooting is extremely cool, however the GBB weapons usually cost more and possibly have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback guns usually cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same when comparing the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is kept in the mag by rubber seals and silicone gaskets, cold weather can negatively impact these seals and allow the stored gas to leak out before shooting the pistol. The lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot a number of feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the GBB handgun would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One option to fix this problem is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by placing them next to a heater or by your body prior to game play. This can help to warm up the seals and valves and help to seal in the green gas. If you definitely want to play airsoft with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be worth buying a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun shoots much better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful coil springs that launch the BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are typically single shot. The manual actions of cocking, firing, and reloading spring airsoft guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When engaging enemies on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles, automatic airsoft AEG assault rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns, this makes spring airsoft pistols fun to use, but less efficient.
Spring guns work most effectively in springer wars where players can exclusively use related, single shot spring guns or as a transition backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can usually surprise other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid 2nd followup shot is not needed given that the other person is now struck and out of the game or going back to respawn. When engaging many different foes because the gun only fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring guns are quite reliable under the proper circumstances and airsoft games. Their FPS usually chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs. These handguns generally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the pitched springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft weapons. Spring guns can normally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to hit targets reduces rapidly. Choosing conventional 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a range of about 60 to 80 feet or less with heightened target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to use as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They function just like an AEG rifle and use forced air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines usually hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute assuming you have enough spare magazines to reload and the battery lasts that long. These pistols can efficiently shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually risen significantly over the last few years. The early gen guns were a little bit unreliable and questionable, but the newer versions have most of the deficiencies resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further modified with enhanced magazine capacities along with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A large advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connections to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you can get a big jump in efficiency by using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me?
If you have over $100 to use to buy your airsoft pistol, take a look at a GBB handgun or automatic electric handgun. If you have in-between $50 to $100 to spend, look at a good quality CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB pistol. You can still get a long lasting airsoft pistol by checking out lower end pistols and by shopping for used guns if you are on a budget.
