Info About the Styles of Airsoft Pistols
Find information about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as secondary guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft pistols are fully manufactured models of their actual pistol equivalents and look and function in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a few varieties of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these forms of sidearms has positives and negatives connected with them. Learning about the varieties of airsoft sidearms allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most popular and dependable types of handguns. They are all-weather weapons and function well in lots of kinds of weather conditions and environments. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs down the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is normally held in the handgun’s handle.
These kinds of airsoft weapons are good for playing airsoft in colder weather conditions considering that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to performance decreases caused by temperature levels. This fact offers excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for instance where other styles of handguns like green gas stop functioning or barely fire airsoft BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, but once they are opened (firing them in 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 chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They do have a supplier’s use by date usually printed on the box or cartridge, however they will last for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is virtually the very same as CO2 pistols with the weapons around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the handgun’s magazine that can typically hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the gas pressurized in the mag till the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a secondary or primary weapon, extra handgun magazines are suggested for quickly reloading. Having additional magazines on-hand allows you to get back in the action throughout firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are usually not permitted to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety standard because of the close quarters distance of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a decreased level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various types of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns work like an authentic pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. When a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas causes the slide to cycle. This functioning while shooting is extremely cool, but the weapons often cost more and potentially have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback weapons normally cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two kinds of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas typically works very well, it does have drawbacks. When green gas and GBB guns are used during the winter season in the snow or in cold weather conditions (like below 32 deg F). Since the green gas or propane is stored in the magazine by rubber seals and gaskets, cold weather can negatively affect the seals and cause the stored gas to escape prior to firing the pistol. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather).
One solution to this problem is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by putting them inside your jacket next to your body before game play. This can help to warm the seals and help to seal in the green gas. If you honestly want to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold, it may also be better to get a CO2 version of your preferred pistol. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun will shoot better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Info on Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs that propel the airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. They are typically only able to shoot one BB. The manual functions of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. When confronting challengers on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry, auto airsoft AEG SMGs, assault rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols, this can make spring guns enjoyable to use, however less efficient.
Spring sidearms perform best in springer wars where game players can only use related, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters backup weapon for CQB environments when you can usually surprise other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick second follow-up shot will not be really needed considering that the other player is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. Take care when fighting numerous adversaries considering that the spring gun just shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring pistols are really useful under the right conditions during games. Their FPS typically chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These weapons normally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring pistols can typically engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to engage targets reduces quickly. Using normal 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a reduced range of about 60 to 80 feet with increased precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They operate just like an AEG SMG and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun magazines generally can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute assuming you have enough spare magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery lasts that long. These AEP handguns can accurately shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually risen significantly in the last few years. The earliest generation guns were a bit sketchy and unreliable, but the latest designs have the bugs worked out and make reliable airsoft backup guns. They can be modded with maximized mag capacities and by accommodating larger batteries.
A large advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the adapters to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG handgun type, you can get a sizable output in efficiency by using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, check out a green gas blowback pistol or AEG handgun. If you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to upgrade your gun, check out a CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB pistol. You can still look for a long lasting airsoft handgun by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with other players in the used airsoft gun market if you need to save money.
