Information on the Styles of Airsoft Handguns
Learn more about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal sidearm and practicing with it can be a game changer in hitting your shots. Handguns, naturally, are diminished range airsoft weapons. They are generally designed after actual sidearms or replicas of authentic pistols. Lots of airsoft handguns are completely licensed releases of their real-world gun counterparts. These airsoft guns can handle in the same ways and visually appear identically to the real guns they are modeled after while blasting airsoft BBs in place of genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these kinds of handguns have negatives and positives associated with them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft sidearms allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most heavy-duty and typical types of handguns. These pistols use CO2 stored in small cylinders to force airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These kinds of airsoft weapons are exceptional for airsoft games in cooler weather conditions because the compressed CO2 gas is less vulnerable to FPS decreases caused by low temperatures. This fact provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for instance where other styles of airsoft guns like green gas stop operating or hardly shoot pellets.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas consisting of one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, as a result the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cylinders under extremely high pressure of near ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cartridges cannot be used multiple times and you can commonly order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely inside, but once they are punctured (firing them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are not used up. You ought to attempt to use up the whole 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 indicator on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the pistol stops firing BBs.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if they are kept sealed. They do have a supplier’s expiration date normally printed on the package or cylinder, however, they will probably last for a very long period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns resemble CO2 guns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft pellets. The impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas pistol operation is virtually the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS. Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and precisely hit targets at short to mid-range distances.
The propane is stored in the handgun’s mag which can commonly hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the handgun type. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the magazine until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or main gun, extra pistol mags are strongly recommended for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra mags on-hand allows you to reengage in the action in the middle 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 since rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not approved to be used for indoor shooting. This is a safety guideline due to the close range distance of gamers during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different styles of green gas airsoft handguns. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns run like a genuine pistol with the slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The propane triggers the slide to cycle each time a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This cycling is very cool, but the handguns frequently are more expensive and possibly have more parts which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback handguns typically cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two types of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Because the green gas or propane gas is kept in the handgun mag by using rubber o-rings, seals, and silicone gaskets, cold temps can affect these seals and cause the stored gas to leak out before shooting the handgun. The lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would typically shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One option to this issue is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them next to your body just before game play starts. If you really want to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Information
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful springs that propel the airsoft BBs down the gun barrel. They are usually able to only shoot one BB. The manual functioning of firing, cocking, and reloading spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. When shooting at other airsoft players on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles, automatic airsoft AEG assault rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols, this can make spring guns fun to use, however less efficient.
Spring sidearms and guns work best in springer battles where opponents can exclusively use related, single shot spring weapons or as a transition backup weapon for CQB environments when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick second follow-up shot is not called for due to the fact that the other player is already hit by the first shot and out of the game play or going back to respawn. When engaging many different enemies given that the spring gun simply fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring handguns are remarkably useful under the right conditions during airsoft games. Spring guns like pistols can usually shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to hit targets 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 pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They work much like an AEG gun and use pressurized air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags normally carry 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 pistol quality has grown substantially in recent years. The earliest gen guns were a little bit undependable and questionable, but the new models have most of the bugs worked out and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be further upgraded with maximized mag storage capacities and by accommodating larger batteries.
A large perk of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capacity to rewire the wires to use a bigger battery with longer life. Depending upon the AEG handgun version, you are able to get a big leap in efficiency using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the standard AEP battery. Be careful with tweaking the elements and wires because you should take into account the volts, mAh, and loads of the battery. Ask a qualified gun service technician at your local airsoft store or shop if you have modding questions.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me?
Picking out the right airsoft pistol for you depends upon how much you can afford to spend, how much you want to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. If you can use over one-hundred dollars to invest in your airsoft pistol, look into a green gas blowback pistol or AEP pistol. These are normally the best of the best, have great performance, and could be a really good investment. If you can afford between fifty to one-hundred dollars to devote to your airsoft gun purchase, check out a CO2 pistol or a 2nd-tier green gas pistol. These will still function well and will be durable sidearms. If you have less than $50, look for a cheap CO2 or springer handgun. You can still get a well-built airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
