Airsoft Pistol Style Additional Information
Find info about airsoft pistols and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best sidearm and practicing with it can make an impact in the accuracy of your shots. Sidearms, naturally, are lower range airsoft guns. They are normally crafted after genuine guns or replications of real handguns. A lot of airsoft pistols are completely certified versions of their real weapon equivalents. These airsoft guns can visually look and handle in the same ways identically to the real guns they are designed around while blasting airsoft BBs in place of real world bullets.
There are a number of varieties of airsoft pistols such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these types of handguns have negatives and positives associated with them. Finding out about the types of airsoft sidearms lets you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most heavy-duty and typical varieties of handguns. They are all-season, all-weather weapons working well in a lot of types of extreme temperatures, weather and climates. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge is usually stored in the pistol’s handle.
These forms of airsoft handguns are good for playing airsoft in colder weather since the compressed CO2 gas is less susceptible to variation caused by low temperatures. This gives CO2 airsoft guns great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other types of handguns like green gas cease to operate or hardly fire airsoft BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas made up of just one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, consequently the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridges under extremely high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi that converts to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however soon after they are opened (shooting them in 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 handgun target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are kept sealed. They do have the supplier’s expiry date normally listed on the box or cartridge, but they can maintain pressure for a very long period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistol Details
Green gas airsoft pistols resemble CO2 guns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot the airsoft BBs. The operational impact on airsoft games and green gas weapon efficiency is basically the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and precisely hit targets at very short to mid-range distances.
The propane is stored in the handgun’s airsoft mag which can normally hold around 15 to 20+ BBs based on the handgun style. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the magazine up until the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When bringing a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or primary weapon, additional handgun magazines are advised for rapidly reloading. Having extra magazines allows you to re-engage in the action during firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not permitted to be used for indoor engagements. This is an essential safety regulation due to the close range distance of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a lower level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various styles of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Because the green gas or propane is held in the pistol magazine by rubber seals and gaskets, cold weather can negatively impact these o-rings and allow the gas to escape prior to shooting the handgun. The lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the green gas pistol would normally shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One option to fix this challenge is to try to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by putting them next to a heat source or by your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the seals and valves and help to seal in the green gas. It can also be worth buying a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun if you really want to play with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun will shoot much better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Info on Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that propel the BBs out of the pistol barrel. The manual action of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB guns.
Spring airsoft guns perform most effectively in springer battles where participants can solely use related, single shot spring guns or as a transitional backup gun for CQB environments when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast second followup shot will not be needed due to the fact that the other player is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game or heading back to respawn. When engaging multiple rivals since the weapon only fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring pistols are remarkably useful under the best situations. Spring handguns can normally fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to hit targets reduces rapidly.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to bring as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They work much like an AEG gun and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags usually store about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare magazines to maintain the ammo supply and the battery lasts that long. These handguns can efficiently shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually grown considerably over the last few years. The initial generations were a little bit unreliable and sketchy, however the newer versions have the issues worked out and make effective airsoft secondary guns. They can be modified with enhanced magazine storage capacities and also accommodating more powerful batteries.
A significant perk of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the adapters to use a more robust battery. Depending upon the AEG handgun type, you are able to get a substantial output in efficiency using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) in place of the stock battery. Be careful when tweaking the parts and wires since you have to think about the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. If you have customization concerns, ask an expert weapon service technician at your closest airsoft shop or store.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
Picking the best airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you can afford, how much you desire to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. If you can afford more than $100 to invest in your airsoft pistol, look into a green gas blowback or GBB pistol or AEG pistol. These kinds of pistols are usually the best of the best, have the best efficiency, and are usually a really good handgun to buy. Look at a CO2 handgun or more affordable green gas GBB handgun if you have in-between more than $50 but less than $100 to put into an airsoft gun purchase. These will still work well and are tough sidearms. If you have less than $50, consider a cheaper CO2 or spring handgun. You can still find a long-lasting airsoft handgun to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
