Airsoft Pistol Design Additional Information
Learn more about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the right sidearm can make an impact in the accuracy of your shots. Handguns, by nature, are reduced range airsoft weapons. They are quite often designed after actual guns or replications of legitimate pistols. Numerous airsoft pistols are fully licensed reproductions of their actual pistol counterparts. These airsoft guns can function (except for shooting bullets) in the same ways and visually appear identical to the real guns they are designed around while shooting airsoft BBs as opposed to real world bullets.
There are a number of kinds of airsoft pistols including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these forms of pistols has positives and negatives related to them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft sidearms lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most heavy-duty and popular types of pistols. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These styles of airsoft guns are good choices for playing in cold and snowy weather conditions given that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to FPS decreases with temperature. This provides good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other varieties of pistols like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a metal cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, as a result of the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridges under very high pressure of close to ~ 800psi that correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 cartridges cannot be refilled and you can commonly buy them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas securely inside, once they are punctured (shooting them in an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You must attempt to use up the entire CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas leftover, use the chance to do some handgun accuracy and target practice and burn up the remainder of the surplus gas. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the gun stops firing BBs.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if the cylinders are stored sealed. They are made with a maker’s use by date typically listed on the box or cartridge, but they will probably survive for a prolonged period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft sidearms function similarly to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot the airsoft BBs. The operational impact on airsoft games and green gas handgun functionality is basically the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to about 300+ FPS. Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at short to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is held in the handgun’s grip within the magazine and can commonly hold roughly 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending on the gun model. A set of valves, silicone stoppers, and o-rings keep the propane stored in the mag till the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good habit to refill and top off your propane reserves in your pistol mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding gamers can even carry excess bottles of green gas or propane in the field for reloading in-between lulls in the war or in-between games.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or main weapon, bringing additional mags is suggested for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional magazines on-hand allows you to reengage in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not allowed to be used for indoor engagements. This is an essential safety guideline because of the close range distance of gamers during the shooting engagements. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a lower level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different styles of green gas airsoft pistols. To start with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols function like a real handgun with the gun’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. Each time a fresh airsoft BB is chambered, the gas causes the slide to cycle. The result is really cool, however the GBB weapons typically are more expensive and likely have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback weapons commonly cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas typically functions effectively on the airsoft field, it does have constraints. This includes when green gas guns are used throughout the winter airsoft games in the snow or in very cold temperatures (like lower 32 deg F). Since the green gas or propane gas is kept in the magazine by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, low temperatures can impact the seals and trigger the stored gas to escape before firing the pistol. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would ordinarily shoot BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this challenge is to try to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by putting them inside your jacket next to your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the rubber seals and better seal in the green gas. It can also be worth checking out a CO2 version of your preferred pistol if you really need to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and these guns shoot better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Information
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong coil springs that shoot the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual actions of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols.
Spring pistols work most effectively in springer wars where players can only use comparable, single shot spring weapons or as a transitional backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast second followup shot will not be needed considering that the other player is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. Look out when attacking a number of players given that the spring gun only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring pistols are very useful under the right game circumstances. Their FPS commonly chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These guns typically fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs because the springs are less effective than other styles of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring pistols can generally be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to hit targets is reduced rapidly. Using standard 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet with enhanced target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They operate much like an AEG SMG and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun mags typically store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs right up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends if you have enough spare mags to reload the gun and the battery holds out that long. These AEP pistols can precisely shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has grown significantly in the last few years. The earliest gen guns were a bit sketchy and undependable, however the more recent models have most of the deficiencies resolved and make reliable airsoft backup guns. They can be further upgraded with enhanced mag storage capacities together with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A huge advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the connectors to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun model, you can get a substantial output in efficiency by employing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Play with?
Choosing the best airsoft handgun for you depends upon how much you can afford, how often you desire to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. Check out a GBB green gas handgun or automatic electric AEP handgun if you have $100 or more to spend on your airsoft handgun. These kinds of handguns are usually the best of the best, have the very best performance, and could be a great handgun to purchase. If you have around more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to devote to your airsoft gun purchase, look into a CO2 pistol or a cheaper green gas blowback pistol. Middle of the road guns like these will still finish the job and are sturdy sidearms. If you have less than $50, choose a cheaper CO2 or springer pistol. You can still get a strong airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games.
