About the Kinds of Airsoft Handguns
Learn about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft pistols are fully licensed editions of their real gun equivalents and run and look in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a number of varieties of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these forms of pistols has benefits and differences connected with them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft handguns helps you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most long lasting and common types of handguns. These pistols use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to push airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These types of airsoft weapons are very good for playing in colder temperatures given that the high pressure CO2 gas is less susceptible to variation with low temperature. This fact provides very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for instance where other kinds of pistols like green gas cease to work or hardly shoot airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a metallic cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, but when they are opened (firing 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 pistol target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They do have the manufacturer’s use by date typically marked on the box or cylinder, however they will last for a prolonged period past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistol Info
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the same as CO2 handguns with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is sealed in the handgun’s grip within the magazine and can typically hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs depending upon the gun design. A sequence of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas stored in the mag prior to when the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a good habit to fill up and top off the green gas in the magazine each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can even bring supplemental bottles of propane in the field for refilling in-between breaks in the war or between missions.
When carrying a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup weapon, extra pistol mags are encouraged for quickly reloading. Having additional mags helps you get back in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles and full-sized AEGs are usually not allowed to be used for indoor game play. This is a safety regulation due to the close range proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB lower compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different forms of green gas airsoft pistols. First there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns work like an actual handgun with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. The propane induces the slide to cycle every time when a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This functionality is very cool, however the pistols typically are more expensive and potentially have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback weapons typically cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two varieties of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is housed in the handgun mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, cold weather can affect these seals and cause the stored gas to leak out before shooting the gun. The lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only land a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would normally shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One option to fix this problem is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by positioning them next to your body prior to game play. This can help to warm the seals and valves and better seal in the green gas. If you honestly want to have fun with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold, it might also be better to check out a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun. The CO2 cartridges 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 down the handgun barrel. They are normally single-shot. The manual functions of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring pistols makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. When facing opponents on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons, fully automatic airsoft AEG assault rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols, this makes spring guns enjoyable to use, however less effective.
Spring airsoft guns work the best in springer wars where game players can exclusively use comparable, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters backup gun for CQB environments when you can often surprise other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast second follow-up shot isn’t called for due to the fact that the other person is now struck and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. Look out when attacking many different foes because the springer just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring handguns are very useful under the most ideal situations. Their FPS commonly chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These pistols typically fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the coiled springs are less powerful than other kinds of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring pistols can typically shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to hit targets is reduced rapidly. Using regular 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a decreased shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet with increased target accuracy.
About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to carry as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They work similar to an AEG rifle and use forced air pumped through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun magazines typically carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs approximately about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough magazines to reload with and the battery lasts that long. These pistols can precisely shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually grown considerably in recent years. The first generation AEP guns were a little bit unreliable and sketchy, but the more recent versions have most of the bugs resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further upgraded with enhanced mag storage capacities along with accommodating larger batteries.
A massive benefit of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the adapters to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol design, you can get a sizable increase in efficiency by employing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Play with?
Deciding on the most ideal airsoft pistol for you depends on how much you can afford, how much you desire to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. Look into a GBB green gas pistol or automatic electric AEP handgun if you have more than one-hundred dollars to invest on your airsoft handgun. These kinds of handguns are usually the top-tier guns, have the very best performance, and can be a really good airsoft gun to invest in. If you have around $50 to $100 to use for your gun, check out a CO2 handgun or a second-tier GBB handgun. Middle of the road guns like these will still work well and are resilient sidearms. Look for a cheap CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still get a strong airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games.
