Airsoft Handgun Style Details
Learn more about airsoft pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the right pistol and practicing with it can make all the difference in aiming your shots. Handguns, naturally, are diminished range airsoft weapons. They are typically crafted after real world guns or miniatures of authentic handguns. Quite a few airsoft pistols are fully certified reproductions of their genuine weapon equivalents. These airsoft guns can run in the same ways and appear similarly to the real guns they are designed around while blasting airsoft BBs as opposed to authentic bullets.
There are several types of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these types of sidearms have positives and negatives related to them. Learning about the styles of airsoft handguns lets you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft handguns are among the most popular and durable types of pistols. They are all season weapons working well in many kinds of extreme temperatures, weather and environments. These sidearms use pressurized CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is typically kept in the gun’s magazine inside the handle.
These forms of airsoft handguns are good choices for playing in cold and snowy temperatures because the pressurized CO2 gas is less vulnerable to performance variations with temperature levels. This fact offers great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for example where other sorts of guns like green gas cease to function or hardly fire pellets.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a chrome cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and two oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, however soon after they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the 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 remaining gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have the maker’s expiry date usually noted on the box or cartridge, however they will likely last for a prolonged period past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is practically the exact same as CO2 pistols with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is sealed in the pistol’s mag and can often hold roughly 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending upon the pistol model. A set of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the propane housed in the pistol mag up until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great choice to top off and refill the green gas in the magazine each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding gamers can even bring extra bottles of green gas or propane in the field for refilling mags in-between breaks in the fight or between game play.
When using a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or main weapon, bringing extra mags is highly recommended for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra magazines allows you to join in the action during 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 that rifles and full-sized AEGs are typically not permitted to be used for indoor engagements. This is an essential safety guideline because of the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a decreased level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different types of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas normally works effectively on the airsoft field, it does have limitations. For example, when green gas guns are played with throughout the winter in the snow or in colder weather (like less than 32 deg F). Considering that the green gas or propane gas is held in the mag by rubber seals and gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively affect the seals and allow the gas to escape before firing the pistol. This can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would normally shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One fix for this problem is to try to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by holding them next to a heater or by your body prior to game play. This can help to heat up the rubber gaskets and help to seal in the green gas. If you honestly want to use a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it can also be better to buy a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun will shoot far better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Details About Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that launch the BBs out of the gun’s barrel. The manual actions of cocking, reloading, and firing spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols.
Spring handguns work most effectively in springer battles where airsoft players can just use related, single shot spring handguns or as an alternative backup gun for CQB environments when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast second follow-up shot will not be called for given that the other person is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game or heading back to respawn. When engaging a number of enemies since the weapon simply fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring guns are extremely reliable under the most ideal circumstances. Their FPS usually chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12g airsoft BBs. These guns generally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs since the springs are less effective than other types of airsoft guns. Spring pistols can usually engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however accuracy is reduced quickly. Choosing standard 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a reduced range of about 60 to 80 feet with increased target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Details
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring into the field as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They operate similar to an AEG gun and use forced air pumped through electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags normally can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has risen substantially recently. The first gens were a bit questionable and undependable, however the new models have the issues resolved and make reliable airsoft backup guns. They can be further modified with maximized mag capacities and also accommodating larger batteries.
A huge benefit of buying an AEG pistol is that you have the capacity to rewire the connections to use a more substantial battery with longer life. Based on the AEG pistol model, you may be able to get a large leap in performance using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) in place of the standard mini battery. Be careful when modifying the elements and wires since you need to take into consideration the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. If you have customization concerns, ask a professional gun tech at your nearest airsoft store or shop.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
Finding the most ideal airsoft handgun for you depends upon your gun budget, how often you wish to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. Look into a GBB green gas handgun or AEP pistol if you have over $100 to invest on your airsoft pistol. These guns are usually the top of the line, have good efficiency, and are usually a great sidearm to purchase. If you can afford about $50 to $100 to use for your gun, look at a CO2 pistol or a second-tier GBB handgun. Middle of the road guns like these will still get the job done and are durable sidearms. Look for a cheaper CO2 or spring pistol if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still get a well-built airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
