Info About Airsoft Handgun Styles
Find information about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft handguns are fully approved and licensed editions of their genuine weapon counterparts and function and appear in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a few kinds of airsoft handguns such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these forms of pistols has benefits and differences associated with them. Learning more about the kinds of airsoft sidearms allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most sturdy and popular types of pistols. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These forms of airsoft guns are exceptional for playing in colder temperatures given that the compressed CO2 gas is less prone to FPS decreases with low temperatures. This fact gives CO2 airsoft guns very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other styles of airsoft handguns like green gas cease to operate or hardly fire airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a chrome metal cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, as a result of the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under very high pressure of around ~ 800psi that converts 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 pistol breaks the seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They are made with the maker’s expiration date usually printed on the box or cylinder, however they will maintain pressure for a long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearm Info
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons around 300+ FPS.
The propane is stored in the pistol’s magazine which can frequently hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the handgun type. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the mag before the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When using a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup weapon, extra pistol mags are highly recommended for rapidly reloading. Having extra mags on-hand allows you to get back in the action during firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are great for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not allowed to be used during indoor game play. This is an essential safety regulation due to the close range distance of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a lower level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different varieties of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols function like an actual handgun with the slide “blowing back” with every shot. The gas induces the slide to cycle each time when a brand-new airsoft BB is chambered. This cycling is really cool, but the GBB handguns typically cost more and potentially have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback weapons generally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two varieties of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Because the green gas or propane gas is housed in the pistol mag by rubber o-rings, seals, and silicone gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively influence these gaskets and allow the stored gas to escape before shooting the pistol. This can make the airsoft BBs to simply land a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the pistol would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One fix to this issue is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by placing them next to your body before game play starts. If you absolutely desire to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite pistol.
Details About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that propel the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual functions of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB guns.
Spring handguns work most effectively in springer battles where opponents can only use comparable, single shot spring pistols or as a transitional weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually surprise other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid second followup shot is not really needed due to the fact that the other opponent is now hit by the first shot and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. Look out when fighting numerous foes considering that the springer only shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring guns are considerably reliable under the proper scenarios. Their FPS generally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These pistols typically fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the coiled springs are less effective than other types of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring guns can generally be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however accuracy decreases rapidly. Choosing standard 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a decreased range of about 60 to 80 feet with enhanced precision.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring into the field as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They function just like an AEG rifle and use compressed air with electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun magazines usually hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has increased substantially recently. The initial gen guns were a bit questionable and undependable, but the latest models have the issues worked out and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be modified with enhanced mag capacities in addition to accommodating bigger batteries.
A big advantage of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the adapters to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can gain a substantial increase in performance by taking advantage of a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft handgun, take a look at a GBB handgun or AEG pistol. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to upgrade your gun, check out a good quality CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB handgun. You can still play with a durable airsoft handgun by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft handguns if you need to save money.
