Information on Airsoft Handgun Styles
Find info about airsoft handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the right handgun and practicing with it can make a big difference in hitting your shots. Pistols, naturally, are short range airsoft weapons. They are quite often fashioned after real-world pistols or look-alikes of legitimate handguns. Many airsoft sidearms are fully licensed variations of their real world weapon equivalents. These airsoft guns can look and feel and run in the same ways similarly to the real guns they are designed after while blasting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these varieties of sidearms have negatives and positives associated with them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft sidearms allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearm Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most long lasting and common types of pistols. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These types of airsoft guns are good for playing airsoft in cooler weather conditions considering that the compressed CO2 gas is less vulnerable to performance decreases caused by low temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft guns great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other varieties of pistols like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny metallic cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas comprised of just one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however the moment they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge 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 opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have a maker’s expiration date normally printed on the box or cartridge, but they will likely last for a prolonged period past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft pistols resemble CO2 guns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane for propellant to fire 6mm airsoft pellets. The outcome on gameplay and green gas pistol functionality is essentially the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ FPS. Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic shooting modes and can accurately hit targets at shorter to mid-range proximities.
The propane is held in the pistol’s airsoft magazine that can commonly hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol model. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas stored in the magazine before the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When using a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a primary or backup gun, bringing additional handgun magazines is recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional magazines helps you get back in the action during firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not permitted to be used during indoor gameplay. This is a safety guideline because of the close range distance of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy launching the BB lower compared to AEGs, 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. To start with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols work like an actual pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. When a new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas causes the slide to cycle. The result is extremely cool, but the handguns often are more expensive and potentially have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback guns commonly cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two kinds of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Because the green gas or propane is stored in the handgun mag by using rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, the cold can influence these gaskets and cause the stored gas to leak out before shooting the pistol. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the GBB handgun would normally shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One option to this problem is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by putting them next to your body or near a heat source before game play. If you really desire to play with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Information
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong springs that fire the BBs down the gun barrel. They are normally one shot only. The manual actions of reloading, firing, and cocking spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes spring airsoft pistols fun to use, however they are less practical when confronting challengers on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons and fully automatic airsoft AEG rifles and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring handguns perform the best in springer wars where opponents can only use similar, single shot spring weapons or as a transitional backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can often sneak up to other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast second follow-up shot will not be really needed given that the other opponent is already hit by the first shot and out of the game or headed back to respawn. When engaging several foes given that the weapon just shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring handguns are very reliable under the right scenarios and airsoft games. Their FPS typically chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs. These pistols typically fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the coiled springs are less effective than other types of airsoft guns. Spring guns can typically shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to hit targets accurately reduces quickly. Using regular 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a range of about 60 to 80 feet with improved target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring into the field as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They operate just like an AEG gun and use compressed air with electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines normally carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough spare mags to maintain the ammo supply and the battery lasts that long. These pistols can efficiently shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually risen considerably over the last few years. The earliest gens were a little bit undependable and sketchy, but the latest models have most of the deficiencies resolved and make effective airsoft secondary guns. They can be upgraded with increased mag storage capacities and also accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial benefit of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the connections to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can gain a huge output in functionality by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Play with?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, take a look at a green gas blowback pistol or AEG pistol. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to upgrade your gun, check out a good quality CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB pistol. If you have less than $50, you can still get a long lasting airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games.
