Airsoft Handgun Design Details
Learn more about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best sidearm and practicing with it can make a big difference in nailing your shots. Pistols, by nature, are lower range airsoft guns. They are typically created after authentic handguns or reproductions of genuine pistols. Many different airsoft handguns are completely certified reproductions of their actual gun counterparts. These airsoft guns can look and feel and function (sans shooting bullets) in the same ways almost identically to the real guns they are modeled around while shooting airsoft BBs rather than real bullets.
There are a few types of airsoft pistols such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these forms of pistols come with positives and negatives associated with them. Finding out about the kinds of airsoft pistols allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearm Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most typical and resilient kinds of pistols. They are all-season pistols and operate well in a lot of kinds of varying temperatures, weather and environments. These sidearms use pressurized CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs down the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is normally held in the handgun’s magazine.
These kinds of airsoft guns are excellent for airsoft games in cooler weather conditions due to the fact that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to FPS decreases caused by low temperatures. This fact gives CO2 airsoft sidearms exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for example where other varieties of airsoft pistols like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a metal cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas consisting of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, consequently the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cylinders under extremely high pressure of about ~ 800psi that converts to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however once they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games 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.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They do have a maker’s expiry date normally marked on the package or cylinder, however they will maintain pressure for a prolonged period past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is practically the very same as CO2 handguns with the weapons around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is housed in the pistol’s magazine and can often hold in-between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending upon the pistol design. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas housed in the pistol magazine till the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good idea to refill and top off your propane reserves in your mag each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding gamers can also carry supplemental bottles of propane in the field for reloading magazines in-between lulls in the fight or between gameplay.
When carrying a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or main gun, additional handgun mags are advised for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra mags on-hand helps you reengage in the action during firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields because long guns and full-sized AEGs are generally not allowed to be used for indoor game play. This is a safety regulation because of the close quarters distance of airsoft 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 helps to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. To start with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols operate like an actual handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The propane triggers the slide to cycle when a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This functioning while shooting is really cool, however the GBB pistols usually cost more and potentially have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback guns normally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two types of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas generally functions extremely well on the airsoft field, it does have issues. For example, when they are used during the winter in the snow or in very cold temperatures (like less than 32 degrees F). Because the green gas or propane is held in the weapon’s magazine using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can impact these seals and allow the gas to leak out before firing the handgun. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would normally shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One option to this problem is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by putting them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket before game play. If you truly want to play with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Facts
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that launch the BBs down the pistol barrel. They are typically single-shot. The manual functioning of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. When fighting enemies on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons, automatic airsoft AEG assault rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols, this makes spring guns entertaining to use, but less effective.
Spring sidearms work best in springer wars where game players can just use related, single shot spring weapons or as an alternative backup weapon for CQB environments when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick 2nd follow-up shot is not called for considering that the other person is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. Look out when attacking multiple enemies since the spring airsoft gun just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring guns are quite useful under the proper game circumstances. Their FPS often chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These pistols generally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the pitched springs are less powerful than other kinds of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring guns can generally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however accuracy diminishes rapidly. Shooting regular 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a decreased shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet or less with increased precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They function similar to an AEG SMG and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun magazines normally carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare magazines to reload the gun and the battery maintains its charge that long. These pistols can accurately fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually risen significantly in the last few years. The first gen guns were a bit questionable and undependable, however the new models have the deficiencies resolved and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be upgraded with increased magazine capacities together with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A large benefit of buying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the connectors to use a more substantial battery with higher mAh. Depending upon the AEG pistol design, you may be able to gain a sizable jump in performance and fire rate using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as opposed to the stock AEP battery. Beware of customizing the parts and wires since you need to consider the voltages, mAh, and loads of the battery. Ask an experienced airsoft gun specialist at your local airsoft store if you have modding concerns.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Buy?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, check out a GBB handgun or AEG handgun. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to shell out, look at a good quality CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB handgun. You can still get a resilient airsoft handgun by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft handguns if you are looking for a deal.
