Airsoft Pistol Type Additional Information
Find out about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal sidearm and practicing with it can be a game changer in the accuracy of your shots. Pistols, naturally, are much shorter range airsoft weapons. They are quite often constructed after actual guns or imitations of real pistols. Many different airsoft sidearms are fully licensed adaptations of their real world weapon equivalents. These airsoft guns can look and function (without shooting bullets) in the same ways identically to the real guns they are designed after while blasting airsoft BBs in place of authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these forms of pistols come with negatives and positives associated with them. Learning more about the types of airsoft sidearms allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most long-lasting and common varieties of handguns. They are all-season, all-weather handguns and operate well in a lot of kinds of weather conditions and environments. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge is typically held in the pistol’s magazine in the handle.
These styles of airsoft weapons are good for playing in colder weather considering that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to variation with low temperature. This provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other sorts of airsoft pistols like green gas cease to function or hardly fire pellets.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a shiny metallic cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 cartridge cylinders are not multiple-use and you can commonly order them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely within, once they are punctured (shooting them in an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You should try to consume the whole CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas if the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the gun stops firing BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They are made with a supplier’s use by date normally printed on the package or cartridge cylinder, however they can maintain pressure for a long time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft BBs. The result on gameplay and green gas handgun functionality is essentially the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and accurate at short to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is sealed in the handgun’s mag which can often hold in-between 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending upon the handgun model. A bunch of valves, rubber stoppers, and seals keep the propane gas stored in the pistol magazine up to when the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a great choice to top off and refill your green gas supply in the magazine each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding gamers can additionally carry excess bottles of green gas in the field for reloading mags in-between breaks in the fight or between activities.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a main or backup gun, extra magazines are suggested for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional mags allows you to re engage in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not authorized to be used during indoor gameplay. This is a safety guideline due to the close range distance of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different sorts 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 handguns use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane is held in the handgun mag using rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, cold temps can impact these gaskets and allow the stored gas to escape prior to shooting. This lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to only land a number of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One strategy to this issue is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by placing them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket before the airsoft game play starts. If you really want to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 style of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful coil springs that fire the BBs down the pistol barrel. They are usually able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual action of reloading, firing, and cocking spring pistols makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When going up against opponents on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons and fully automatic airsoft AEG SMGs, assault rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns, this can make them enjoyable to use, but less efficient.
Spring guns perform best in springer battles where airsoft players can just use related, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters combat weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can often surprise other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a rapid second followup shot isn’t really needed considering that the other person is now hit by the first BB and out of the game play or headed back to respawn. Look out when engaging several players due to the fact that the springer only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring guns are remarkably useful under the appropriate conditions during airsoft games. Spring pistols can commonly shoot accurately up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs but target accuracy decreases rapidly.
About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to use as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They operate just like an AEG rifle and use compressed air with electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun magazines generally can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare mags to reload (after every 20 to 30 rounds) and the battery maintains its charge that long. These AEP pistols can efficiently fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has grown considerably in recent years. The early gen guns were a little bit undependable and questionable, but the newer versions have the issues worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further upgraded with increased magazine storage capacities together with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A significant benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the adapters to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun type, you can get a big output in functionality by taking advantage of a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Buy?
If you have over $100 to use to buy your airsoft handgun, check out a green gas blowback handgun or automatic electric handgun. If you have between $50 to $100 to invest, look at a good quality CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB handgun. If your gun budget is lower, you can still get a hold of a resilient airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with players on the used airsoft gun market.
