About Airsoft Pistol Kinds
Find information about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as extra weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft handguns are completely accredited replications of their genuine handgun equivalents and look and run in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than real bullets.
There are a number of kinds of airsoft handguns including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these types of sidearms come with negatives and positives connected with them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft handguns lets you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most heavy-duty and standard types of handguns. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These styles of airsoft weapons are very good for airsoft games in colder weather because the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to variation with temperature levels. This gives CO2 airsoft pistols good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other sorts of airsoft sidearms like green gas cease to operate or barely shoot pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny metallic cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, but soon after they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the seal) they will start 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 can be stored for a while if they are kept sealed. They come with the manufacturer’s best used by date normally marked on the box or cartridge, however, they will likely stay pressurized for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft sidearms function similarly to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft BBs. The result on the airsoft battlefield and green gas handgun effectiveness is essentially the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at short to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is kept in the handgun’s magazine and can commonly hold around 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun style. A sequence of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas sealed in the pistol magazine till the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great plan to top off and fill up your green gas reserves in the pistol mag each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding players can additionally carry extra bottles of propane in the field for reloading between lulls in the fight or between missions.
When bringing a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or primary gun, bringing additional magazines is advised for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra magazines helps you join in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not permitted to be used during indoor game play. This is a safety rule due to the close range distance of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols work like an actual handgun with the gun’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. Each time a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas causes the slide to cycle. This functioning while shooting is very cool, however the weapons usually are more expensive and likely have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols typically cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two varieties of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is stored in the pistol magazine by rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, the cold can negatively influence these o-rings and cause the gas to escape prior to shooting the gun. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the pistol would usually shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One strategy to this issue is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them next to your body prior to game play. If you truly want to play with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 style of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful springs that propel the BBs out of the gun barrel. They are typically single shot. The manual action of reloading, cocking, and firing spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When facing players on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles like fully auto airsoft AEG assault rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns, this makes them fun to use, however less effective.
Spring handguns work the best in springer battles where opponents can exclusively use similar, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually surprise other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a rapid second followup shot is not required due to the fact that the other opponent is already hit by the first shot and out of the gameplay or going back to respawn. When engaging numerous enemies since the weapon simply shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring handguns are really efficient under the right scenarios and airsoft games. Their FPS commonly chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons generally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the pitched springs are less powerful than other kinds of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring pistols can usually be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but precision decreases rapidly. Shooting standard 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a decreased range of about 60 to 80 feet or less with heightened precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to bring as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They operate similar to an AEG rifle and use forced air forced through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags usually carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs right up to about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery holds out that long. These AEP pistols can effectively fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has grown substantially recently. The initial generation guns were a little bit unreliable and sketchy, but the new versions have most of the issues worked out and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be modded with maximized mag storage capacities together with accommodating bigger batteries.
A large advantage of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the battery wires to use a more robust battery with higher mAh. Depending upon the AEG handgun version, you can get a big output in performance and fire rate using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative to the standard battery. Be careful with customizing the elements and the gun’s wires since you need to take into consideration the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. If you have modding concerns, ask an experienced weapon tech at your nearest airsoft store.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, check out a GBB handgun or automatic electric pistol. If you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend, evaluate a good quality CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB handgun. If your gun budget is lower, you can still get a long lasting airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
