Information on the Varieties of Airsoft Handguns
Learn more about airsoft sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the ideal pistol can make an impact in the accuracy of your shots. Handguns, naturally, are diminished range airsoft guns. They are most often crafted after firearm pistols or look-alikes of genuine handguns. Lots of airsoft handguns are fully certified variations of their genuine firearm counterparts. These airsoft guns can handle in the same ways and visually appear identically to the real guns they are designed after while firing airsoft BBs in place of real world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these styles of handguns has negatives and positives associated with them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft sidearms lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most long-lasting and typical types of pistols. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These forms of airsoft weapons are good for playing in cold weather considering that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance variations with low temperatures. This gives CO2 airsoft guns very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other styles of handguns like green gas cease to work or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny steel cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas composed of a single carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, as a result of the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridges under extremely high pressure of close to ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, but when they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge 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 additional gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are kept sealed. They are made with a manufacturer’s expiration date normally printed on the package or cylinder, but they will survive for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, however they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is almost the exact same as CO2 pistols with the weapons around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the handgun’s grip within the magazine which can typically hold between 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending upon the handgun design. A bunch of valves, rubber stoppers, and o-rings keep the propane pressurized in the mag prior to when the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great idea to fill up and top off the propane supply in your mag each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can even carry excess bottles of green gas or propane in the field for reloading magazines in-between lulls in the war or in-between missions.
When using a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or primary gun, extra handgun mags are suggested for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional mags helps you re-engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are typically not permitted to be used for indoor game play. This is an essential safety rule because of the close quarters proximity of players during the shooting engagements. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a decreased level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various styles of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane is kept in the mag by rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, cold temps can negatively influence these seals and allow the stored gas to leak out before shooting the pistol. The lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a few feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One strategy to this problem is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by positioning them next to your body or by a heater just before the airsoft game play starts. If you absolutely want to play with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that fire the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual functioning of reloading, cocking, and shooting spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring pistols work best in springer wars where participants can just use comparable, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters combat weapon for CQB environments when you can usually surprise other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast second follow-up shot is not required since the other player is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. When engaging several foes since the weapon only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring guns are remarkably reliable under the correct conditions during games. Spring guns can typically shoot up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs however accuracy decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to carry as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They operate similar to an AEG gun and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun mags usually carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has risen considerably over the last few years. The initial generation guns were a little bit questionable and undependable, however the more recent designs have the issues worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be improved with increased magazine capacities and also accommodating bigger batteries.
A large benefit of using an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the adapters to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can get a big increase in efficiency by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Buy?
Deciding on the best airsoft pistol for you depends on your budget, how often you plan to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. Take a look at a green gas blowback pistol or AEP pistol if you have more than $100 to spend on your airsoft handgun. These are typically the top of the line, have the greatest build qualities, and can be a really good handgun to purchase. Check out a CO2 handgun or cheaper green gas GBB handgun if you have about more than $50 but less than $100 to buy a gun. Middle of the road guns like these will still be fun to play with and can be pretty long lasting sidearms. If you have fifty dollars or less, try to find a low end CO2 or spring pistol. You can still buy a resilient airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
