About Airsoft Handgun Designs
Find information about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft handguns are completely accredited versions of their authentic gun equivalents and run and look in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these types of handguns has negatives and positives associated with them. Learning more about the kinds of airsoft sidearms allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most tough and common types of handguns. These pistols use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to move airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These types of airsoft pistols are great choices for playing airsoft in colder weather conditions considering that the pressurized CO2 gas is less prone to FPS decreases with low temperature. This provides excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other styles of airsoft sidearms like green gas cease to operate or hardly fire BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a metal cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of a single carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, but soon after they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge 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 opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They are made with the manufacturer’s best used by date typically printed on the box or cartridge, but they will probably maintain pressure for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 pistols, but they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is practically the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the pistol’s airsoft mag that can usually hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas pressurized in the mag up until the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When running a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a primary or secondary weapon, additional pistol mags are recommended for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional mags on-hand allows you to get back in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not approved to be used for indoor game play. This is an essential safety regulation due to the close range proximity of players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids 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 2 different kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. To begin with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols operate like an authentic pistol with the slide “blowing back” with every shot. The propane causes the slide to cycle each time when a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. The result is very cool, but the handguns usually are more expensive and possibly have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback guns usually cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane gas is kept in the pistol mag using rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, cold temps can affect these seals and allow the gas to escape prior to shooting the pistol. The lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only land a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would usually shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One fix for this challenge is to try to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by holding them next to your body prior to game play. This can help to warm the seals, gaskets, and valves and better seal in the green gas. If you really prefer to have fun with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it may also be worth buying a CO2 version of your favorite pistol. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and perform better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that launch the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual actions of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB guns.
Spring airsoft guns perform most effectively in springer wars where players can solely use related, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB settings when you can frequently surprise other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick second followup shot is not needed since the other person is already struck and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. Be careful when attacking numerous foes due to the fact that the springer just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring guns are really reliable under the correct game circumstances. Spring handguns can usually fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but target accuracy reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Info
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to use as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They operate much like an AEG gun and use compressed air with electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags typically carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually risen significantly in recent years. The first gen guns were a bit sketchy and undependable, but the more recent models have most of the deficiencies resolved and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be upgraded with maximized mag capacities along with accommodating larger batteries.
A large benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the opportunity to rewire the connections to use an enhanced battery with higher mAh. Depending on the AEG handgun type, you can gain a substantial boost in performance using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the standard battery. Take care of customizing the parts and wires since you must take into consideration the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. If you have modding questions, ask a qualified professional airsoft gun tech at your nearest airsoft shop.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Buy?
Deciding on the right airsoft pistol for you depends on your budget, how often you want to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. Look at a GBB green gas pistol or AEP pistol if you have over $100 to invest on your airsoft handgun. These are usually the top-tier guns, have the greatest efficiency, and could be a good sidearm to buy. If you have around more than $50 but less than $100 to spend on upgrading your airsoft arsenal, take a look at a CO2 pistol or a 2nd-tier GBB pistol. These mid-tier guns will still do the job and will be sturdy sidearms. If you have fifty dollars or less, try to find a low end CO2 or spring handgun. You can still buy a resilient airsoft pistol to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
