Airsoft Pistol Variety Information
Learn about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as extra guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft pistols are completely accredited editions of their actual weapon equivalents and look and function in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these forms of handguns have negatives and positives associated with them. Finding out about the kinds of airsoft handguns helps you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most typical and heavy-duty styles of handguns. They are all-season pistols and operate well in lots of kinds of weather conditions and environments. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is usually located in the gun’s magazine inside the handle.
These kinds of airsoft handguns are great for playing in colder weather conditions given that the compressed CO2 gas is less susceptible to performance variations with low temperatures. This fact gives CO2 airsoft pistols good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other sorts of pistols like green gas cease to operate or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a chrome cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas composed of just one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but once they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft handgun 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 handgun target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if they are kept sealed. They are made with a maker’s expiry date normally marked on the package or cartridge cylinder, but they will likely maintain pressure for a prolonged period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot the airsoft pellets. The effect on gameplay and green gas sidearm effectiveness is virtually the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and precisely hit targets at shorter to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is sealed in the pistol’s magazine and can often hold around 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun model. A series of valves, silicone stoppers, and o-rings keep the green gas housed in the pistol mag up until the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great idea to top off and refill the green gas in your magazine each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can even take additional bottles of green gas or propane in the field for refilling mags between breaks in the battle or in-between activities.
When playing with a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a main or secondary weapon, additional handgun magazines are recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra mags allows you to join in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles and full-sized AEGs are generally not authorized to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety guideline due to the close range proximity of players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB lower compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various types of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas generally can be used extremely well on the airsoft field, it does have restrictions. This includes when they are played with in the winter season in the snow or in very cold temperatures (like less than 32 degrees F). Considering that the green gas or propane is stored in the magazine by silicone seals and gaskets, the cold can negatively affect the seals and trigger the gas to leak out before firing the handgun. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would usually shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One solution to this problem is to try to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by positioning them next to a heat source or by your body before airsoft game play. This can help to warm the rubber gaskets and help to seal in the green gas. It might also be worth buying a CO2 version of your preferred handgun if you actually need to play with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun will shoot far better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs that shoot the BBs out of the gun barrel. The manual action of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols.
Spring pistols perform most effectively in springer wars where players can only use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a transitional backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast 2nd followup shot will not be really needed considering that the other player is already struck and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. Beware when fighting numerous airsoft players considering that the spring airsoft gun just shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring pistols are quite effective under the proper scenarios. Their FPS commonly chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs. These handguns usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the pitched springs are less effective than other types of airsoft weapons. Spring guns can normally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to hit targets accurately is reduced quickly. Choosing normal 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a decreased shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet with heightened accuracy.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They work similar to an AEG gun and use forced air forced through electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol mags usually store about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs right up to around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery lasts that long. These AEP handguns can accurately shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has increased substantially over the last few years. The earliest gens were a bit unreliable and sketchy, however the latest versions have the bugs resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be upgraded with enhanced magazine capacities and by accommodating larger batteries.
A huge advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the battery connections to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can get a huge jump in efficiency by taking advantage of a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Buy?
Picking out the ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you can afford, how much you intend to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. Take a look at a GBB green gas pistol or AEP handgun if you have more than one-hundred dollars to invest on your airsoft pistol. These guns are normally the best of the best, have the best build qualities, and could be a pretty good gun to get. Look at a CO2 handgun or less costly GBB handgun if you have about $50 to $100 to put towards an airsoft gun purchase. Mid-tier guns like these will still work well and are pretty sturdy sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring pistol if you have less than $50. You can still buy a resilient airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
