Information About Airsoft Pistol Designs
Learn more about airsoft sidearms and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best sidearm and practicing with it can make a big difference in the accuracy of your shots. Sidearms, by nature, are short range airsoft weapons. They are most often designed after real pistols or models of actual handguns. Quite a few airsoft pistols are fully licensed variations of their real-world handgun equivalents. These airsoft guns can run in the same ways and visually look identically to the real guns they are modeled around while firing airsoft BBs in place of authentic bullets.
There are a few kinds of airsoft handguns including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these kinds of handguns has positives and negatives related to them. Learning more about the kinds of airsoft pistols helps you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most common and sturdy types of sidearms. These handguns use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These kinds of airsoft weapons are very good for airsoft games in cold and snowy temperatures considering that the high pressure CO2 gas is less prone to variation with temperature. This offers exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other kinds of handguns like green gas stop operating or barely fire BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a metallic cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of a single carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, however as soon as they are opened (firing them in an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge 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 opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are kept sealed. They come with the supplier’s expiration date typically printed on the box or cylinder, however they will probably stay pressurized for a prolonged period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 handguns, but they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the exact same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the pistol’s grip within the magazine and can commonly hold roughly 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs based on the pistol design. A series of valves, rubberized stoppers, and seals keep the gas stored in the mag until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great choice to refill and top off your green gas reserves in your pistol mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding gamers can also bring excess bottles of green gas or propane in the field for reloading magazines between lulls in the fight or in-between activities.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a primary or backup gun, bringing additional handgun mags is recommended for quickly reloading. Having additional magazines allows you to re engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not allowed to be used for indoor game play. This is a safety rule because of the close range distance of gamers during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy sending the BB lower compared to AEGs, 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 handguns. To begin with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns run like an actual pistol with the gun’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. Every time a brand-new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. The result is really cool, but the GBB guns usually cost more and possibly have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback guns generally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two kinds of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas usually works extremely well on the airsoft field, it does have restrictions. This includes when they are used in the winter airsoft games in the snow or in cold weather (like lower 32 deg F). Because the green gas or propane is held in the weapon’s magazine using silicone seals and gaskets, cold temperatures can impair the seals and make the stored gas to seep out before shooting. This can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot several feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One option to fix this issue is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by putting them next to your body just before the game play. This can help to warm the rubber gaskets and better seal in the green gas. If you definitely want to have fun with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold, it may also be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred pistol. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and these guns shoot far better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that propel the BBs out of the handgun’s barrel. The manual actions of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns.
Spring handguns work best in springer battles where game players can only use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a transition weapon for CQB settings when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick second follow-up shot is not called for due to the fact that the other player is already hit and out of the game or moving back to respawn. When engaging a number of rivals considering that the spring gun just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring pistols are quite effective under the ideal situations. Spring guns can often shoot accurately up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs but accuracy reduces quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Info
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to use as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They operate much like an AEG SMG and use pressured air with electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun magazines normally can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs right up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough magazines to reload the gun and the battery maintains its charge that long. These pistols can effectively fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually increased substantially in recent years. The first generations were a bit unreliable and sketchy, however the new models have most of the issues resolved and make effective airsoft backup guns. They can be modified with increased magazine capacities in addition to accommodating bigger batteries.
A massive advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the connectors to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you can get a big output in functionality by taking advantage of a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
Selecting the right airsoft handgun for you depends on how much you can afford, how much you want to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. Consider a GBB handgun or AEP pistol if you have over $100 to invest on your airsoft handgun. These kinds of guns are usually the top-tier guns, have the most effective efficiency, and could be a great investment. Consider a CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB handgun if you have around more than $50 but less than $100 to spend. These guns will still finish the job and will be tough sidearms. Look for a cheaper CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than $50. You can still get a long-lasting airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games.
