Information About Airsoft Handgun Varieties
Learn more about airsoft guns like pistols and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the right handgun can make an impact in the accuracy of your shots. Sidearms, by nature, are much shorter range airsoft weapons. They are quite often designed after real-world handguns or copies of legitimate handguns. Numerous airsoft handguns are completely licensed versions of their genuine weapon equivalents. These airsoft guns can operate in the same ways and appear identical to the real guns they are designed around while blasting airsoft BBs instead of real-world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these varieties of pistols come with positives and negatives related to them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft sidearms helps you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most typical and resilient types of pistols. These pistols use CO2 stored in small cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These kinds of airsoft handguns are very good for playing airsoft in cooler weather considering that the compressed CO2 gas is less prone to performance variations by low temperatures. This fact offers good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other kinds of airsoft sidearms like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely fire BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas made up of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cylinders cannot be refilled and you can usually order them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas securely within, once they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You ought to try to consume the entire CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas if the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indicator on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the gun stops shooting.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They do have a maker’s expiration date normally marked on the package or cartridge cylinder, but they can stay pressurized for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearm Information
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 pistols, but they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is virtually the exact same as CO2 pistols with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the pistol’s airsoft magazine that can commonly hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the gas pressurized in the magazine until the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When playing with a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a main or secondary gun, additional mags are recommended for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra mags on-hand helps you join in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields considering that long guns and full-sized AEGs are usually not approved to be used during indoor engagements. This is an essential safety guideline because of the close range distance of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. To begin with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns operate like a legitimate handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The propane induces the slide to cycle each time a new airsoft BB is chambered. The result is really cool, however the GBB guns often are more expensive and potentially have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns usually cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two types of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas normally works effectively, it does have limits. When they are used over the winter season in the snow or in cold temps (such as under 32 deg F). Given that the green gas or propane gas is kept in the mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can negatively impact these seals and make the stored gas to leak out before firing the pistol. This can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would typically shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this challenge is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by putting them next to a heat source or by your body before airsoft game play. This can help to warm the rubber gaskets and help to seal in the green gas. It may also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun if you really need to play airsoft with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun will shoot far better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful coil springs that propel the BBs out of the gun’s barrel. The manual functions of firing, cocking, and reloading spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB guns.
Spring handguns perform most effectively in springer battles where game players can exclusively use similar, single shot spring weapons or as a transitional backup gun for CQB buildings when you can often surprise other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a quick 2nd follow-up shot isn’t needed due to the fact that the other player is now hit by the first BB and out of the game play or heading back to respawn. When engaging many different adversaries since the spring airsoft gun only shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring pistols are extremely reliable under the best game circumstances. Spring guns like pistols can commonly shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to hit targets reduces quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Facts
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to bring as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They operate similar to an AEG SMG and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun magazines typically can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 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 maintains its charge that long. These handguns can efficiently fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually grown significantly in the last few years. The first generations were a little bit questionable and unreliable, but the newer models have most of the bugs worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be modified with enhanced magazine capacities in addition to accommodating bigger batteries.
A big advantage of buying an AEG pistol is that you have the capacity to rewire the battery wires to use a bigger battery. Based on the AEG pistol model, you may be able to gain a big jump in efficiency by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the stock battery. Take extra precautions when tweaking the parts and wires since you have to take into account the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. If you have customization questions, ask a pro airsoft specialist at your nearest airsoft shop.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me?
Deciding on the best airsoft pistol for you depends on how much you can afford, how often you intend to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. If you can use more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, look at a green gas blowback pistol or AEG handgun. These guns are typically the top of the line, have good performance, and are usually an excellent gun to get. Consider a CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB handgun if you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to invest. These guns will still get the job done and will be pretty long lasting sidearms. If you have fifty dollars or less, look for a cheap CO2 or spring handgun. You can still buy a heavy-duty airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games.
