Airsoft Pistol Type Additional Information
Find info about airsoft pistols and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the ideal handgun can be a game changer in hitting your shots. Pistols, naturally, are lower range airsoft weapons. They are generally manufactured after real pistols or reproductions of actual handguns. Many different airsoft pistols are fully licensed editions of their real-world gun equivalents. These airsoft guns can function (short of shooting bullets) in the same ways and look identical to the real guns they are designed after while firing airsoft BBs as opposed to real bullets.
There are a number of types of airsoft pistols such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these types of pistols have negatives and positives connected with them. Learning about the varieties of airsoft handguns allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most dependable and common types of sidearms. These handguns use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to push airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These styles of airsoft pistols are good choices for playing airsoft in colder temperatures because the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to FPS decreases with low temperature. This fact offers exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other kinds of sidearms like green gas stop performing or barely shoot BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a shiny metallic cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas comprised of just one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cartridges are not reusable and you can typically buy them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, once they are punctured (firing them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You must attempt to dissipate the whole CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some pistol 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 guide on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the gun stops firing.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have the manufacturer’s expiry date usually listed on the package or cartridge cylinder, however, they will likely survive for a prolonged period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the same as CO2 handguns with the guns at about 300+ FPS.
The propane is held in the pistol’s airsoft magazine that can usually hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the mag before the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When playing with a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a primary or backup gun, additional handgun magazines are advised for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra mags allows you to reengage in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields given that long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not enabled to be used during indoor gameplay. This is a safety regulation because of the close range distance of gamers during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a lower level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. First there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols function like an authentic pistol with the gun’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. Each time a brand-new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. This functionality is extremely cool, but the guns typically are more expensive and possibly have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback guns usually cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two types of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas generally functions very well, it does have limitations. When they are used in the winter season in the snow or in cold weather (like under 32 degrees F). Given that the green gas or propane is held in the pistol mag using silicone seals and gaskets, low temperatures can affect these seals and trigger the stored gas to escape before shooting. This can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would ordinarily shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One strategy to this issue is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by placing them next to your body or by a heater prior to the airsoft game play starts. If you absolutely want to play with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that fire the BBs down the gun barrel. They are typically one shot. The manual actions of reloading, firing, and cocking spring guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. This makes them entertaining to use, yet they can be less successful when running into other players on the airsoft field with upgraded airsoft guns, automatic airsoft AEG rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring handguns work best in springer wars where players can exclusively use comparable, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters backup gun for CQB settings when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a rapid 2nd followup shot will not be needed considering that the other person is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game play or heading back to respawn. When engaging a number of adversaries given that the spring gun just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring guns are incredibly useful under the proper situations. Spring guns like pistols can normally shoot accurately up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs however target accuracy decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to carry as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They function just like an AEG gun and use pressured air with electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun mags generally hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has grown considerably over the last few years. The earliest generation guns were a little bit undependable and questionable, but the new versions have the problems resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be further upgraded with maximized mag capacities as well as accommodating bigger batteries.
A large advantage of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the capacity to rewire the wires to use a more robust battery with longer life. Based on the AEG pistol design, you can get a substantial leap in performance and fire rate utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as opposed to the standard AEP battery. Take extra precautions when tweaking the components and wires because you need to consider the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. Ask an experienced weapon specialist at your local airsoft shop or store if you have customization issues.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
Picking the most ideal airsoft pistol for you depends on your budget, how much you wish to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. If you can use $100 or more to spend on your airsoft handgun, check out a green gas handgun or AEP pistol. These kinds of pistols are normally the top-tier guns, have great performance, and can be a good investment. Look into a CO2 handgun or less costly GBB handgun if you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to buy a gun. Middle of the road guns like these will still do the job and will be pretty long lasting sidearms. Look for a cheaper CO2 or spring handgun if you have $50 or less. You can still find a well-built airsoft pistol to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
