Airsoft Handgun Type Additional Information
Learn about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as extra weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Numerous airsoft handguns are fully manufactured and licensed replications of their authentic handgun equivalents and look and function in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these styles of handguns has positives and negatives related to them. Finding out about the varieties of airsoft sidearms lets you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most common and dependable types of pistols. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These styles of airsoft guns are great choices for playing airsoft in cold and snowy temperatures given that the compressed CO2 gas is less prone to performance decreases by low temperature. This offers good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for example where other varieties of sidearms like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly shoot BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas composed of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cartridge cylinders cannot be refilled and you can commonly order them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but as soon as they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the seal) the cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You ought to try to expend the whole CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some pistol 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 sign on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the pistol stops shooting BBs.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if the cylinders are stored sealed. They have a manufacturer’s expiration date typically noted on the box or cylinder, however, they will likely last for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the exact same as CO2 pistols with the guns around 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is kept in the pistol’s magazine that can normally hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the handgun style. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas pressurized in the magazine till the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When playing with a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a backup or main gun, additional pistol mags are strongly recommended for rapidly reloading. Having additional magazines on-hand helps you join in the action during firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields because long guns and full-sized AEGs are usually not allowed to be used for indoor game play. This is a safety standard because of the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various kinds of green gas airsoft handguns. To begin with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns operate like a realistic handgun with the gun’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. Every time a new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. This cycling is really cool, but the GBB weapons frequently cost more and possibly 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 when comparing the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is kept in the pistol mag by using rubber seals and silicone gaskets, cold temps can negatively impact these seals and cause the stored gas to leak out before shooting. This can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the GBB handgun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One strategy to this problem is to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by positioning them next to your body prior to game play starts. If you absolutely desire to play with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful coil springs that fire the BBs out of the gun barrel. They are typically able to only shoot one BB. The manual action of reloading, firing, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When taking on opponents on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry, automatic airsoft AEG rifles, SMGs, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns, this can make spring airsoft guns enjoyable to use, however less effective.
Spring handguns perform best in springer wars where participants can just use similar, single shot spring guns or as a transition weapon for CQB buildings when you can often surprise other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast 2nd follow-up shot is not called for given that the other person is now struck and out of the game or heading back to respawn. When engaging numerous adversaries considering that the spring gun simply fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring guns are really reliable under the best game circumstances. Their FPS normally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These weapons usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the pitched springs are less effective than other types of airsoft guns. Spring handguns can normally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to engage targets accurately reduces rapidly. Choosing conventional 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a decreased range of about 60 to 80 feet or less with improved target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Info
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring into the field as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They work much like an AEG gun and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines usually can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually increased significantly over the last few years. The early generations were a bit questionable and unreliable, but the latest designs have the problems resolved and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further upgraded with enhanced magazine storage capacities and by accommodating more powerful batteries.
A massive advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the adapters to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol design, you can get a huge jump in performance by employing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
If you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft handgun, take a look at a green gas blowback handgun or AEG pistol. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to shell out, check out a good quality CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB handgun. You can still play with a long lasting airsoft pistol by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with other players in the used gun market if you need to save money.
