Airsoft Handgun Type Additional Info
Learn more about airsoft sidearms and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the right handgun and practicing with it can make an impact in nailing your shots. Pistols, by nature, are lower range airsoft weapons. They are frequently crafted after real-world guns or look-alikes of authentic pistols. Many different airsoft handguns are fully certified adaptations of their genuine gun equivalents. These airsoft guns can run in the same ways and visually appear identically to the real guns they are designed around while blasting airsoft BBs in place of real world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these kinds of sidearms come with positives and negatives related to them. Learning about the types of airsoft sidearms allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most sturdy and popular varieties of pistols. They are all-season pistols working well in a lot of types of weather, varying temperatures, and environments. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is normally stored in the handgun’s magazine in the handle.
These forms of airsoft guns are excellent for playing airsoft in cooler temperatures because the pressurized CO2 gas is less prone to FPS decreases caused by temperature. This fact provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other types of sidearms like green gas cease to operate or barely fire airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a metallic cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas made up of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, and so the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under really high pressure of around ~ 800psi that converts to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, however once 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 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 have a long storage life if they are stored sealed. They have a manufacturer’s best used by date normally listed on the package or cartridge, however they will probably survive for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistol Facts
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is practically the very same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane is held in the pistol’s airsoft magazine which can usually hold around 15 to 20+ BBs based on the handgun design. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas pressurized in the magazine until the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When using a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or primary weapon, additional mags are recommended for rapidly reloading. Having extra mags on-hand helps you re engage in the action throughout firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles and full-sized AEGs are usually not allowed to be used during indoor engagements. This is an essential safety standard due to the close quarters distance of players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy moving the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different types of green gas airsoft pistols. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns run like a legitimate pistol with the slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. Each time a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. The result is really cool, however the GBB pistols often are more expensive and likely have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns normally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same between the two types of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane is held in the pistol mag using rubber seals and gaskets, cold temperatures can affect these seals and allow the stored gas to escape before shooting. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a number of feet (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when it would normally shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One fix for this challenge is to try to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by putting them next to a heat source or by your body just before the game play. This can help to heat up the seals and help to seal in the green gas. It might also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol if you actually want to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform far better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs that launch the airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are generally able to only shoot one BB. The manual functioning of firing, reloading, and cocking spring guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes them fun to use, but they are usually less practical when going up against other airsoft players on the airsoft field with upgraded airsoft guns like auto airsoft AEG SMGs and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring airsoft guns perform the best in springer wars where game players can just use similar, single shot spring guns or as an alternative weapon for CQB settings when you can often sneak up to other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast second followup shot is not really needed given that the other person is already struck and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. Beware when attacking numerous opponents given that the spring airsoft gun only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring pistols are very effective under the proper scenarios. Their FPS often chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the coiled springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring handguns can generally be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but precision is reduced rapidly. Choosing regular 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a range of around 60 to 80 feet or less with increased accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Info
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to bring into the field as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s handle. They function much like an AEG rifle and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun mags usually hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has risen considerably in recent years. The early generations were a little bit unreliable and sketchy, but the more recent designs have most of the deficiencies resolved and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modded with enhanced magazine storage capacities and by accommodating bigger batteries.
A huge benefit of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the adapters to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can get a sizable increase in functionality by adopting a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me?
If you have over $100 to use to buy your airsoft handgun, take a look at a green gas blowback handgun or AEG handgun. If you have in-between $50 to $100 to invest, check out a CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB pistol. You can still find a durable airsoft pistol by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with other players in the used airsoft gun market if you are trying to save money.
