Airsoft Handgun Style Information
Find out about airsoft pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal handgun and practicing with it can make a big difference in aiming your shots. Pistols, by nature, are reduced range airsoft weapons. They are generally produced after authentic sidearms or copies of actual handguns. A lot of airsoft pistols are completely certified editions of their actual firearm counterparts. These airsoft guns can function (without shooting bullets) in the same ways and look identical to the real guns they are designed around while firing airsoft BBs rather than real world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these forms of pistols has positives and negatives related to them. Learning about the styles of airsoft sidearms helps you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most typical and sturdy types of sidearms. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These styles of airsoft handguns are good for playing airsoft in cooler temperatures given that the high pressure CO2 gas is less prone to FPS decreases caused by low temperatures. This provides excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other types of handguns like green gas stop working or barely fire pellets.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a shiny cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas composed of a single carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, but as soon as they are opened (firing them in an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They have the supplier’s use by date usually marked on the box or cylinder, however, they may survive for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 handguns, but they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is almost the exact same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the handgun’s mag which can often hold around 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs based on the gun style. A series of valves, rubber stoppers, and seals keep the gas pressurized in the pistol magazine up until the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a good habit to refill and top off the green gas reserves in the mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding gamers can even carry supplemental bottles of propane gas in the field for reloading mags in-between lulls in the battle or between gameplay.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a main or backup gun, additional handgun magazines are advised for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional magazines on-hand helps you re engage in the action during firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not permitted to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety rule because of the close quarters distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different styles of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Since the green gas or propane gas is housed in the handgun mag by using rubber o-rings, seals, and silicone gaskets, cold weather can affect these o-rings and cause the stored gas to escape prior to shooting the gun. The lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just land a few feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the GBB handgun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One fix for this problem is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by putting them next to a heat source or by your body before game play. This can help to warm up the rubber gaskets and better seal in the green gas. It can also be worth checking out a CO2 version of your favorite pistol if you actually prefer to play airsoft with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun shoots much better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong coil springs that propel the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual actions of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols.
Spring guns perform the best in springer wars where participants can only use related, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters combat backup gun for CQB buildings when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a rapid 2nd followup shot is not needed due to the fact that the other player is now hit by the first shot and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. Look out when attacking many different foes due to the fact that the spring gun just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring handguns are incredibly reliable under the ideal situations. Spring guns can often fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs but accuracy reduces quickly.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
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 handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They work similar to an AEG rifle and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun magazines typically can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually grown considerably in the last few years. The early gen guns were a little bit unreliable and questionable, however the latest models have the bugs resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further modified with maximized mag storage capacities and also accommodating larger batteries.
A large advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capacity to rewire the battery wires to use a more robust battery with higher mAh. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you are able to get a substantial boost in functionality using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the standard mini battery. Take extra precautions when adjusting the components and the gun’s wires since you must consider the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. If you have customization questions, ask a qualified professional airsoft gun service tech at your local airsoft shop.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me?
Looking for the right airsoft sidearm for you depends upon how much you want to spend, how much you wish to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. Look into a GBB green gas pistol or AEG handgun if you have over one-hundred dollars to invest on your airsoft handgun. These kinds of guns are usually the top of the line, have the most effective build qualities, and are usually a good investment. If you can afford between more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to use for your gun, look into a CO2 handgun or a second-tier green gas pistol. Middle of the road guns like these will still be fun to play with and will be pretty long lasting sidearms. If you have less than fifty dollars, consider a low end CO2 or spring handgun. You can still get a strong airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
