Airsoft Handgun Design Additional Info
Find information about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft handguns are completely manufacturer licensed variations of their authentic handgun counterparts and look and run in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are several varieties of airsoft sidearms including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these varieties of sidearms has negatives and positives connected with them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft handguns helps you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most typical and long-lasting types of handguns. These pistols use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to force airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These forms of airsoft pistols are excellent for playing in colder weather given that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to performance decreases with low temperatures. This provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other types of airsoft handguns like green gas cease to operate or barely fire pellets.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a shiny steel cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas consisting of just one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, subsequently the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cylinders under really high pressure of around ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however the moment they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the 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 pistol target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are kept sealed. They come with the manufacturer’s use by date normally marked on the package or cartridge, however they will stay pressurized for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft sidearms function similarly to CO2 guns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to fire the airsoft BBs. The result on airsoft games and green gas weapon functionality is virtually the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and accurate at short to mid-range proximities.
The propane is stored in the handgun’s airsoft mag that can often hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the handgun design. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas stored in the magazine until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When bringing a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a main or backup gun, additional pistol mags are recommended for rapidly reloading. Having additional mags on-hand allows you to re engage in the action throughout firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not allowed to be used for indoor gameplay. This is a safety rule due to the close range distance of airsoft players during the shooting engagements. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different forms of green gas airsoft handguns. To start with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols operate like a real pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” with every shot. The propane induces the slide to cycle every time when a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This functionality is very cool, but the GBB weapons usually cost more and potentially have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback guns usually cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane gas is stored in the magazine by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can impact these seals and cause the gas to escape prior to shooting the gun. This can cause the airsoft BBs to just land a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would typically shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One option to this issue is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by positioning them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket just before the airsoft game play starts. If you absolutely desire to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred pistol.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that propel the BBs down the gun barrel. They are generally able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual functions of reloading, firing, and cocking spring airsoft guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When fighting against other airsoft players on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons, automatic airsoft AEG rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns, this can make spring airsoft pistols fun to use, however less effective.
Spring handguns perform best in springer wars where players can only use similar, single shot spring weapons or as an alternative weapon for CQB buildings when you can often surprise other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick second followup shot isn’t really needed because the other player is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the gameplay or going back to respawn. When engaging many different rivals since the spring airsoft gun simply fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring pistols are quite effective under the ideal situations. Spring handguns can usually shoot up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs but precision decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They operate similar to an AEG rifle and use pressured air with electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines usually can hold around 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 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute assuming you have enough spare mags to reload with and the battery maintains its charge that long. These AEP pistols can effectively shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has increased substantially over the last few years. The first generations were a bit sketchy and unreliable, but the more recent designs have most of the issues worked out and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be modded with enhanced magazine storage capacities and also accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can get a big increase in efficiency by using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Play with?
Picking the best airsoft pistol for you depends on your budget, how much you want to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. If you can use at least one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, consider a green gas handgun or AEP pistol. These kinds of guns are normally the top-tier guns, have the greatest build qualities, and are usually a great investment. If you have about fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend on upgrading your airsoft arsenal, take a look at a CO2 handgun or cheaper green gas blowback handgun. Middle of the road guns like these will still be fun to play with and will be long lasting sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring handgun if you have $50 or less. You can still find a sturdy airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
