Information About Airsoft Pistol Designs
Learn about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Numerous airsoft pistols are completely manufacturer licensed variations of their real firearm counterparts and run and look in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these types of handguns come with negatives and positives related to them. Finding out about the types of airsoft sidearms allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most standard and sturdy types of pistols. These pistols use CO2 stored in small cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These types of airsoft handguns are very good for playing airsoft in colder temperatures due to the fact that the pressurized CO2 gas is less prone to performance variations with temperature levels. This offers excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other sorts of sidearms like green gas stop performing or barely fire BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a metal cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas made up of one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, so the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridges under really high pressure of roughly ~ 800psi that converts to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cartridges cannot be used multiple times and you can usually buy them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas securely inside, once they are punctured (firing them in an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You ought to try to use up the entire CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity 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 gauge on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the weapon stops firing airsoft BBs.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if the cylinders are stored sealed. They do have the manufacturer’s best used by date usually noted on the package or cartridge cylinder, however, they may maintain pressure for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the exact same as CO2 handguns with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the handgun’s mag and can commonly hold roughly 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending upon the pistol design. A bunch of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the propane gas pressurized in the pistol magazine up to the point the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good plan to top off and refill your green gas in your mag each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can even carry excess bottles of propane in the field for reloading magazines in-between lulls in the war or in-between missions.
When using a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or primary weapon, extra pistol mags are suggested for quickly reloading. Having extra magazines on-hand helps you re-engage in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not enabled to be used during indoor shooting. This is an essential safety standard because of the close range proximity of gamers during shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a decreased level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various sorts of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane gas is stored in the mag by using rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, the cold can impact these seals and allow the gas to escape before shooting the pistol. This can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One option to fix this challenge is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by putting them next to a heat source or by your body prior to game play. This can help to warm the rubber gaskets and help to seal in the green gas. If you really prefer to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be better to get a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and perform far better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Details About Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs that launch the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual functions of firing, reloading, and cocking spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns.
Spring sidearms and guns work most effectively in springer wars where game players can only use similar, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters backup weapon for CQB environments when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid second follow-up shot is not required given that the other person is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. When engaging several rivals since the spring gun only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring pistols are really useful under the correct game conditions. Spring pistols can typically fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to hit targets decreases quickly.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to bring into the field as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They operate just like an AEG gun and use forced air forced through electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags generally can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery maintains its charge that long. These AEP pistols can accurately shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has increased considerably over the last few years. The early generation guns were a little bit questionable and unreliable, but the latest designs have most of the bugs worked out and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modified with increased magazine capacities together with accommodating larger batteries.
A substantial advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the battery connectors to use an enhanced battery with higher mAh. Depending upon the AEG handgun style, you can get a sizable jump in efficiency utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as opposed to the stock AEP battery. Take extra precautions when adjusting the elements and wires because you have to take into consideration the voltages, mAh, and loads of the batteries. If you have customization questions, ask a qualified airsoft gun tech at your nearest airsoft store.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Buy?
If you have $100 or more to use to buy your airsoft handgun, you may want to consider a GBB handgun or AEG handgun. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to invest, look at a good quality CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB handgun. You can still find a long lasting airsoft pistol by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft handguns if you are looking for a deal.
