Info About the Varieties of Airsoft Handguns
Learn about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the best handgun can make all the difference in blasting your shots. Handguns, naturally, are short range airsoft guns. They are normally fashioned after real-world sidearms or replicas of real handguns. A large number of airsoft sidearms are completely certified editions of their authentic weapon counterparts. These airsoft guns can function (without shooting bullets) in the same ways and visually look identically to the real guns they are designed around while blasting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are several kinds of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these forms of sidearms come with negatives and positives associated with them. Finding out about the varieties of airsoft handguns helps you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most heavy-duty and typical types of sidearms. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These forms of airsoft guns are very good for playing in cold weather due to the fact that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to performance decreases with temperature levels. This fact gives CO2 airsoft pistols excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other varieties of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop operating or barely shoot BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a shiny metallic cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas composed of a single carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but the moment they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They come with the maker’s best used by date normally listed on the box or cartridge cylinder, however, they may last for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearm Info
Green gas airsoft handguns resemble CO2 guns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft pellets. The result on game play and green gas sidearm functionality is just about the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are efficiently fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and precisely hit targets at very short to mid-range distances.
The propane gas is stashed in the handgun’s mag that can typically hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the handgun type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the gas pressurized in the magazine before the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When bringing a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a backup or primary weapon, bringing extra mags is encouraged for rapidly reloading. Having extra mags on-hand allows you to re-engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are generally not enabled to be used for indoor gameplay. This is a safety rule because of the close range distance of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy sending the BB lower compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various types of green gas airsoft handguns. To begin with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols run like a legitimate handgun with the slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane triggers the slide to cycle when a fresh airsoft BB is chambered. The result is very cool, but the GBB guns frequently cost more and potentially have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns typically cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two types of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is held in the magazine by rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, the cold can negatively impact these o-rings and cause the stored gas to escape before shooting the gun. This lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to simply land a number of feet (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the GBB handgun would typically shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One option to fix this problem is to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by placing them next to a heater or by your body prior to game play. This can help to warm the seals, gaskets, and valves and help to seal in the green gas. It might also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun if you actually prefer to play airsoft with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun shoots much better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Details About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that propel the BBs out of the handgun barrel. They are usually single-shot. The manual functioning of firing, cocking, and reloading spring guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes spring airsoft guns fun to use, yet they can be less effective when dealing with other players on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons, fully automatic airsoft AEG assault rifles and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring handguns perform the best in springer battles where participants can only use similar, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid second follow-up shot isn’t really needed since the other player is already hit and out of the game or moving back to respawn. Take care when engaging a number of foes given that the spring airsoft gun only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring pistols are extremely effective under the best conditions. Spring handguns can typically shoot up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs however precision reduces quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Facts
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to bring into the field as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They work much like an AEG SMG and use compressed air with electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun magazines generally hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends if you have enough spare mags to maintain the ammo supply and the battery holds out that long. These AEP handguns can effectively fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually increased considerably in recent years. The early generation guns were a little bit unreliable and sketchy, but the latest versions have the problems resolved and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be improved with increased mag storage capacities and also accommodating bigger batteries.
A big advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the connections to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol design, you can get a big jump in performance by adopting a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the stock battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Buy?
Looking for the best airsoft pistol for you depends on your gun budget, how often you wish to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. Check out a GBB handgun or AEP handgun if you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol. These are typically the top of the line, have the most effective performance, and can be a pretty good gun to get. Look into a CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB handgun if you have about more than $50 but less than $100 to invest. Mid-tier guns like these will still work well and will be pretty durable sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring pistol if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still buy a well-built airsoft handgun to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
