About the Varieties of Airsoft Pistols
Learn more about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best pistol and practicing with it can make a big difference in nailing your shots. Sidearms, naturally, are diminished range airsoft guns. They are often made after firearm sidearms or replicas of actual pistols. Many different airsoft pistols are fully licensed models of their genuine pistol equivalents. These airsoft guns can function (short of shooting bullets) in the same ways and visually look identical to the real guns they are designed after while firing airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a few kinds of airsoft sidearms consisting of 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. Finding out about the styles of airsoft pistols allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most popular and sturdy types of sidearms. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These forms of airsoft weapons are very good for airsoft games in cold and snowy temperatures considering that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to FPS decreases with low temperature. This fact offers exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other styles of airsoft pistols like green gas stop operating or hardly shoot BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a metallic cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas consisting of just one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, as a result the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under extremely high pressure of around ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however the moment they are opened (firing them in an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge 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 handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are kept sealed. They have the maker’s expiration date normally printed on the package or cartridge cylinder, but they can last for a prolonged time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Handgun Information
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel the airsoft BBs. The result on gameplay and green gas sidearm efficiency is basically the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are efficiently fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can accurately hit targets at shorter to mid-range distances.
The green gas is held in the handgun’s grip within the mag and can commonly hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the handgun model. A sequence of valves, silicone stoppers, and o-rings keep the green gas sealed in the pistol magazine up to the point the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a good choice to top off and fill up the green gas reserves in your mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding gamers can additionally bring excess bottles of green gas in the field for reloading mags in-between breaks in the war or between activities.
When running a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or primary gun, bringing additional mags is suggested for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra magazines helps you re engage in the action throughout firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields given that long guns and full-sized AEGs are usually not permitted to be used for indoor engagements. 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 still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy moving the BB lower compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various forms of green gas airsoft pistols. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns run like an actual handgun with the gun’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane gas causes the slide to cycle each time when a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. The result is really cool, but the GBB handguns frequently cost more and likely have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback weapons usually cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same between the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas generally performs very well, it does have issues. For example, when they are used in the winter in the snow or in colder temperatures (like less than 32 degrees F). Since the green gas or propane gas is kept in the weapon’s mag by silicone seals and gaskets, low temperatures can impact these seals and make the stored gas to escape prior to shooting airsoft BBs. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would ordinarily shoot BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather conditions).
One option to this problem is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by holding them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket prior to game play starts. If you really want to play with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Information
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful coil springs that propel the BBs out of the handgun’s barrel. The manual actions of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns.
Spring airsoft guns work most effectively in springer battles where players can only use comparable, single shot spring handguns or as a transitional backup gun for CQB buildings when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a rapid second follow-up shot will not be required because the other person is already hit and out of the game or headed back to respawn. Take care when attacking a number of enemies considering the gun just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring handguns are remarkably useful under the appropriate situations. Their FPS typically chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These guns usually fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs because the coiled springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring handguns can typically engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however precision diminishes quickly. Using normal 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a range of around 60 to 80 feet or less with heightened accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Information
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring into the field as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They work much like an AEG rifle and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun magazines typically hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs approximately about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute assuming you have enough spare magazines to reload with and the battery holds out that long. These AEP handguns can effectively fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has increased considerably recently. The early gen guns were a little bit undependable and sketchy, however the more recent designs have the bugs worked out and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be modified with increased mag storage capacities in addition to accommodating larger batteries.
A massive advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the adapters to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG handgun type, you can get a sizable increase in performance by using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the stock mini battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Buy?
Selecting the right airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you can afford to spend, how often you plan to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. Look into a GBB green gas pistol or AEP pistol if you have more than one-hundred dollars to invest on your airsoft handgun. These are typically the top-tier guns, have the best performance, and are usually a pretty good investment. Consider a CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB handgun if you have between $50 to $100 to spend. These guns will still finish the job and can be tough sidearms. Look for a cheap CO2 or spring pistol if you have fifty dollars or less. You can still buy a dependable airsoft handgun to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
