About Airsoft Handgun Designs
Learn more about airsoft sidearms and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal handgun and practicing with it can make all the difference in nailing your shots. Handguns, naturally, are shorter range airsoft guns. They are typically fashioned after firearm pistols or imitations of actual handguns. Many airsoft sidearms are completely licensed reproductions of their genuine handgun counterparts. These airsoft guns can run in the same ways and look similarly to the real guns they are modeled around while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a few varieties of airsoft sidearms including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these types of handguns has benefits and differences related to them. Learning more about the kinds of airsoft handguns lets you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most common and long-lasting types of pistols. These pistols use CO2 stored in small cylinders to launch airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These types of airsoft pistols are good choices for playing in cooler weather considering that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to FPS decreases with temperature. This fact gives CO2 airsoft sidearms good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other sorts of handguns like green gas cease to work or hardly shoot airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a shiny cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas composed of one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cartridges cannot be refilled and you can usually purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, once they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You must attempt to deplete the entire CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas leftover, use the opportunity to do some pistol accuracy and target practice and use up the remainder of the excess gas. There is no gas level gauge on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the handgun stops shooting BBs.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are kept sealed. They do have a supplier’s use by date typically marked on the package or cartridge, however, they will probably last for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 pistols, however they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the very same as CO2 pistols with the weapons around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the handgun’s mag which can frequently hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending upon the gun style. A set of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the propane housed in the pistol mag until the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a good plan to refill and top off your propane supply in the magazine each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can additionally take surplus bottles of propane gas in the field for reloading magazines in-between lulls in the battle or in-between activities.
When carrying a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or primary weapon, bringing additional handgun magazines is highly recommended for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional magazines on-hand allows you to get back in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not approved to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety standard due to the close range distance of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a lower level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, 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 handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns run like an actual pistol with the slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane gas induces the slide to cycle when a new airsoft BB is chambered. The result is really cool, however the GBB guns frequently are more expensive and potentially have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback weapons typically cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two types of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Because the green gas or propane gas is held in the handgun mag by rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively affect these seals and allow the stored gas to leak out prior to shooting the gun. The lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the green gas pistol would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One option to fix this challenge is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by positioning them next to your body prior to game play. This can help to warm up the seals and help to seal in the green gas. If you honestly desire to use a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it can also be better to buy a CO2 version of your preferred handgun. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun shoots far better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Details About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful coil springs that propel the BBs down the pistol barrel. They are generally single shot. The manual actions of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. This makes spring airsoft pistols enjoyable to use, yet they can be less efficient when encountering competitors on the airsoft field with fully auto airsoft AEG rifles and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring sidearms work best in springer battles where participants can solely use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters backup gun for CQB environments when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick 2nd followup shot isn’t called for due to the fact that the other person is already hit by the first shot and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. When engaging a number of attackers considering that the spring gun simply shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring guns are extremely useful under the proper game circumstances. Their FPS commonly chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs. These handguns normally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs since the coiled springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring pistols can normally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to hit targets diminishes rapidly. Shooting standard 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a decreased shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet or less with increased target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Facts
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to use as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They work much like an AEG gun and use forced air with electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags usually store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs as high as about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends if you have enough spare magazines to reload the gun and the battery holds out that long. These AEP handguns can precisely shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually grown substantially recently. The initial generation guns were a little bit questionable and undependable, however the latest versions have most of the deficiencies resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be upgraded with increased magazine storage capacities and by accommodating larger batteries.
A massive benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol design, you can get a huge jump in performance by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Play with?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, take a look at a GBB handgun or AEG handgun. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to invest, evaluate a CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB pistol. You can still find a long lasting airsoft handgun by checking out lower end pistols and by shopping for used pistols if you need to save money.
