Info About Airsoft Pistol Varieties

Learn about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft pistols are completely accredited replications of their genuine handgun counterparts and operate 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 pistols. Each of these styles of handguns have positives and negatives related to them. Learning about the varieties of airsoft handguns allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.

Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns

CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most long-lasting and typical types of sidearms. These pistols use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to launch airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.

These styles of airsoft weapons are very good for playing airsoft in cold weather because the high pressure CO2 gas is less vulnerable to FPS decreases with temperature levels. This offers exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other kinds of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop functioning or barely fire airsoft BBs.

About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges

CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas made up of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, thus the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under really high pressure of near ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.

The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, however the moment they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.

If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They come with the maker’s best used by date usually printed on the package or cartridge cylinder, however they will last for a prolonged period past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.

Green Gas Airsoft Sidearm Info

Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, however they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is practically the same as CO2 pistols with the guns around 300+ FPS.

The propane gas is stashed in the pistol’s airsoft mag that can normally hold around 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun type. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the mag till the handgun’s trigger is pulled.

When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a main or secondary weapon, bringing extra pistol mags is highly recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional mags allows you to re-engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.

Green gas handguns are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are generally not allowed to be used during indoor gameplay. This is a safety rule because of the close range proximity of gamers during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy sending 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 styles of green gas airsoft handguns. First there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns function like a realistic pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. Every time a new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas induces the slide to cycle. This cycling is very cool, however the handguns often cost more and likely have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns have a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback guns generally cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same between the two varieties of green gas pistols.

About GBB and Green Gas Issues

While green gas generally performs very well, it does have issues. When they are used in the winter playing in the snow or in colder temps (like below 32 deg F). Since the green gas or propane gas is held in the weapon’s mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively impact these seals and trigger the stored gas to escape before shooting. This can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).

One solution to this challenge is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them inside your jacket next to your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to heat up the seals, gaskets, and valves and help to seal in the green gas. It may also be worth buying a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol if you actually need to play with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun shoots far better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.

Spring Airsoft Sidearms

Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs that launch the airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. They are generally one shot only. The manual functions of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring pistols makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. This makes spring airsoft pistols enjoyable to use, but they are usually less efficient when dealing with foes on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry like auto airsoft AEG assault rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols.

Spring pistols work most effectively in springer battles where players can just use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a transitional weapon for CQB buildings when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a rapid second follow-up shot will not be called for due to the fact that the other player is now struck and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. Be careful when attacking a number of foes because the spring weapon just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.

About Spring Handgun Performance

Spring guns are incredibly efficient under the ideal game circumstances. Spring guns like pistols can usually shoot up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs but the ability to engage targets decreases rapidly.

AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols

AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to carry as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They operate much like an AEG rifle and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.

AEG pistol magazines usually can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends if you have enough magazines to reload the gun and the battery holds out that long. These pistols can accurately shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.

AEG Handgun Quality and Performance

AEG handgun quality has grown substantially in the last few years. The initial gens were a bit sketchy and unreliable, however the new models have the issues resolved and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be modified with enhanced mag storage capacities and also accommodating bigger batteries.

A significant advantage of buying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the battery wires to use a more substantial battery with longer life. Based on the AEG handgun type, you are able to get a sizable jump in performance and fire rate using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock AEP battery. Be careful when customizing the parts and wires since you have to take into account the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. Ask an expert airsoft tech at your local airsoft shop if you have modding inquiries.

What Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Buy?

If you have $100 or more to use to buy your airsoft pistol, evaluate a GBB handgun or AEG pistol. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to upgrade your gun, review a good quality CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB handgun. You can still find a long lasting airsoft pistol by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with other players in the used airsoft gun market if you are on a budget.
