Info About the Kinds of Airsoft Pistols
Find information about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft pistols are fully manufactured versions of their genuine weapon equivalents and operate and look in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a few varieties of airsoft pistols such as CO2, green gas or propane (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 types of airsoft sidearms helps you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most resilient and popular styles of handguns. They are all season, all weather handguns and function well in a lot of kinds of varying temperatures, weather and environments. These sidearms use high pressure CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is typically housed in the pistol’s magazine inside the handle.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are good choices for airsoft games in cold and snowy weather because the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to performance variations by low temperature. This fact offers exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for instance where other sorts of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop operating or hardly fire airsoft BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a chrome metal cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas consisting of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, subsequently the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridges under very high pressure of around ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, but as soon as they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They do have a maker’s best used by date usually marked on the package or cartridge cylinder, but they will likely survive for a prolonged period past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistol Info
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft BBs. The effect on the battlefield and green gas weapon effectiveness is almost the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS. Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or automatic shooting modes and accurate at short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is sealed in the pistol’s grip within the mag and can commonly hold in-between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs based on the pistol model. A set of valves, rubberized stoppers, and seals keep the propane gas stored in the pistol magazine up to when the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a good habit to refill and top off your green gas reserves in the magazine each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding gamers can also carry extra bottles of propane gas in the field for reloading mags between lulls in the war or between activities.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a primary or secondary weapon, additional handgun mags are encouraged for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional mags allows you to join in the action throughout firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not approved to be used during indoor game play. This is a safety standard due to the close range distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various kinds of green gas airsoft handguns. First there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols function like a genuine pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The propane gas induces the slide to cycle when a brand-new airsoft BB is chambered. This functionality is really cool, but the handguns usually cost more and likely have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns commonly cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Because the green gas or propane is kept in the handgun magazine by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can negatively affect these seals and allow the gas to leak out before shooting. The lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the green gas handgun would normally shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One strategy to this problem is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them next to your body just before the airsoft game play. If you really need to play with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs that fire the BBs out of the pistol barrel. The manual action of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols.
Spring sidearms perform best in springer battles where participants can only use related, single shot spring weapons or as an alternative backup gun for CQB environments when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a rapid second follow-up shot isn’t really needed due to the fact that the other player is now hit by the first shot and out of the game or going back to respawn. Be careful when fighting many different adversaries given that the springer just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring guns are very reliable under the correct conditions during games. Spring handguns can normally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however target accuracy reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to use as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They function much like an AEG SMG and use forced air with electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun mags normally hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually grown considerably over the last few years. The earliest gen AEP guns were a little bit questionable and undependable, but the newer designs have the issues worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further modded with maximized magazine capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A massive advantage of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the connectors to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you can get a large jump in efficiency by employing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Buy?
Picking the right airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you can afford, how often you desire to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. Look at a GBB green gas handgun or AEP pistol if you have more than $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol. These are normally the top of the line, have the very best efficiency, and can be a great gun to get. Consider a CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB handgun if you have between more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to put into an airsoft gun purchase. These mid-tier guns will still function well and are tough sidearms. If you have $50 or less, choose a lower end CO2 or spring pistol. You can still find a strong airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games.
