About Airsoft Pistol Kinds
Learn about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft pistols are fully certified editions of their genuine pistol counterparts and function and appear in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these varieties of sidearms have benefits and differences connected with them. Learning about the types of airsoft sidearms lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most long-lasting and typical types of pistols. These pistols use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to move airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These styles of airsoft pistols are good choices for playing airsoft in cold temperatures given that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to performance decreases by temperature. This provides excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other styles of airsoft handguns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely shoot BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a metallic cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas made up of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cylinders under very high pressure of close to ~ 800psi that correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 cartridges cannot be refilled and you can commonly order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely and securely within, once they are punctured (firing them in an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You ought to try to burn up the whole CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some handgun accuracy and target practice and consume the remaining additional gas. There is no gas level sign on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the gun stops firing airsoft BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They do have the maker’s use by date typically marked on the box or cartridge cylinder, however, they will likely stay pressurized for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistol Facts
Green gas airsoft pistols resemble CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane for propellant to propel the airsoft BBs. The impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ FPS. Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or automatic shooting modes and accurate at short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is housed in the pistol’s magazine which can frequently hold in-between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs based on the pistol design. A set of valves, rubberized stoppers, and o-rings keep the propane gas sealed in the pistol mag up until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good habit to fill up and top off the propane reserves in the magazine each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding players can also take excess bottles of propane gas in the field for refilling in-between lulls in the war or in-between game play.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a main or secondary gun, additional magazines are recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra magazines allows you to join in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not authorized to be used during indoor shooting. This is a safety regulation because of the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different styles of green gas airsoft pistols. First there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns function like a legitimate pistol with the gun’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The propane induces the slide to cycle every time a new airsoft BB is chambered. The result is really cool, however the pistols often are more expensive and potentially have more parts which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns usually cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two types of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Because the green gas or propane is kept in the magazine by rubber seals and silicone gaskets, cold temps can affect these gaskets and cause the gas to leak out before shooting the gun. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just land a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the gun would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One fix to this problem is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them next to your body or by a heater just before the airsoft game play starts. If you really need to play with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold, it might also be worth getting a CO2 style of your preferred handgun.
Details About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful springs that propel the BBs down the pistol barrel. They are generally able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual actions of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When fighting other airsoft players on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles like fully auto airsoft AEG assault rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns, this makes spring airsoft pistols enjoyable to use, but less effective.
Spring pistols perform most effectively in springer wars where players can just use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can often sneak up to other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast 2nd follow-up shot is not called for because the other person is now hit by the first shot and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. Be careful when engaging multiple opponents because the spring gun only fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring guns are incredibly efficient under the ideal circumstances. Spring guns can usually shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to engage targets decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to carry 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 operate just like an AEG SMG and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun mags usually hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute assuming you have enough spare magazines to reload and the battery lasts that long. These handguns can accurately shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually risen significantly recently. The early gen AEP guns were a bit unreliable and sketchy, but the newer models have the bugs resolved and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further modified with increased mag capacities as well as accommodating bigger batteries.
A substantial advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the opportunity to rewire the battery connectors to use an enhanced capacity battery. Depending upon the AEG handgun style, you may be able to gain a big output in performance and fire rate using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative to the stock AEP battery. Beware of tweaking the parts and wires because you need to think about the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. Ask a qualified airsoft gun tech at your nearest airsoft store if you have modding questions.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me?
If you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol, check out a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric pistol. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend, review a good quality CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB handgun. If your gun budget is lower, you can still look for a long lasting airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
