Info About Airsoft Handgun Types
Learn about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as extra guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft pistols are completely accredited releases of their actual weapon equivalents and look and operate in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than actual bullets.
There are a number of types of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these forms of handguns have negatives and positives associated with them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft pistols lets you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most heavy duty and typical types of handguns. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These kinds of airsoft weapons are great for playing airsoft in cold temperatures due to the fact that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to variation by temperature levels. This offers exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other sorts of sidearms like green gas stop working or hardly shoot BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a chrome metal cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas composed of a single carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, thus the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under really high pressure of roughly ~ 800psi that correlates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however when they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft handgun 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 handgun target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They do have the supplier’s use by date normally listed on the package or cylinder, however they can stay pressurized for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns resemble CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to fire the airsoft pellets. The effect on gameplay and green gas handgun functionality is basically the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or automatic shooting modes and can accurately hit targets at short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is kept in the pistol’s grip within the mag and can commonly hold roughly 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the gun design. A sequence of valves, silicone stoppers, and o-rings keep the green gas housed in the pistol magazine up until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great choice to top off and refill the green gas reserves in your magazine each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can additionally bring additional bottles of green gas in the field for refilling between breaks in the battle or in-between gameplay.
When using a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or main weapon, additional handgun mags are recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional mags on-hand helps you get back in the action during firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are usually not approved to be used for indoor shooting. This is a safety standard due to the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a decreased 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 different varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. To begin with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns function like an authentic pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane gas causes the slide to cycle when a new airsoft BB is chambered. This functionality is really cool, but the GBB guns often cost more and possibly have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols commonly cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two varieties of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane gas is held in the handgun mag by rubber seals and silicone gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively impact these seals and allow the stored gas to escape before shooting the pistol. The lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the green gas handgun would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One option to fix this challenge is to try to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by holding them near your body just before the game play. This can help to warm the rubber seals and help to seal in the green gas. It may also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun if you truly need to play airsoft with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun will shoot much better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Info
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong coil springs that send the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual functioning of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols.
Spring airsoft guns perform most effectively in springer battles where participants can only use related, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters combat weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually surprise other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast second follow-up shot isn’t called for considering that the other opponent is already hit by the first shot and out of the game play or moving back to respawn. Take care when attacking numerous players because the springer just shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring handguns are remarkably useful under the most ideal game conditions. Their FPS typically chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These pistols generally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the pitched springs are less effective than other styles of airsoft guns. Spring handguns can normally be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to hit targets reduces rapidly. Shooting conventional 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a decreased shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet with enhanced precision.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to carry as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s handle. They operate similar to an AEG gun and use pressurized air pumped through electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun mags generally hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually increased considerably recently. The initial generations were a bit unreliable and questionable, but the more recent designs have the problems worked out and make reliable airsoft backup guns. They can be improved with increased magazine capacities together with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A big advantage of buying an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the battery connectors to use an increased capacity battery with higher mAh. Based on the AEG pistol style, you may be able to get a substantial jump in performance utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as opposed to the stock AEP battery. Take extra precautions when modifying the parts and wires since you must think about the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. Ask a qualified airsoft technician at your local airsoft store if you have customization issues.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Play with?
Finding the best airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you want to spend, how much you would like to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. If you can afford over $100 to spend on your airsoft handgun, look into a green gas blowback pistol or AEP handgun. These guns are typically the top of the line, have great efficiency, and can be a really good pistol to buy. Look at a CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB pistol if you have about more than $50 but less than $100 to spend. These will still get the job done and are pretty resilient sidearms. Look for a low end CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still get a dependable airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
