Airsoft Handgun Type Details
Learn about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as extra weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. A large number of airsoft handguns are completely manufacturer licensed releases of their actual firearm counterparts and look and run in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these varieties of handguns has negatives and positives associated with them. Finding out about the varieties of airsoft sidearms allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most sturdy and typical types of sidearms. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These kinds of airsoft guns are good for playing airsoft in cold and snowy temperatures given that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to FPS decreases caused by temperature. This provides very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other kinds of airsoft handguns like green gas stop operating or barely shoot BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a shiny cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, however soon after they are opened (firing them in an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if they are kept sealed. They have a maker’s use by date normally noted on the package or cylinder, however they will maintain pressure for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 pistols, however they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the very same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stashed in the handgun’s airsoft mag which can often hold around 15 to 20+ BBs based on the handgun model. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the gas pressurized in the magazine till the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When using a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or main weapon, bringing additional pistol mags is recommended for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra magazines helps you reengage in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not permitted to be used during indoor gameplay. This is a safety guideline due to the close range distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy sending the BB lower compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different types of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Because the green gas or propane is stored in the handgun magazine by rubber seals and silicone gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively influence these seals and cause the gas to leak out prior to shooting. This lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would usually shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One strategy to this issue is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by positioning them next to your body or by a heater prior to the airsoft game play. If you really need to play with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that launch the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual actions of cocking, firing, and reloading spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring sidearms perform the best in springer wars where players can only use comparable, single shot spring pistols or as a transition backup weapon for CQB environments when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast second follow-up shot isn’t required since the other opponent is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. Be careful when fighting a number of airsoft players because the spring weapon just fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring handguns are really efficient under the appropriate scenarios. Spring guns like pistols can typically shoot up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs however the ability to hit targets decreases quickly.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They operate much like an AEG SMG and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines generally can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough spare magazines to maintain the ammo supply and the battery maintains its charge that long. These pistols can effectively shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has risen significantly in the last few years. The first generation guns were a little bit unreliable and questionable, however the newer models have the problems worked out and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modded with maximized magazine capacities along with accommodating larger batteries.
A huge advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connectors to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG handgun design, you can gain a large increase in performance by adopting a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol, you may want to consider a GBB handgun or automatic electric handgun. If you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend, check out a good quality CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB handgun. If you are on a budget, you can still get a hold of a long lasting airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
