Airsoft Pistol Design Details
Find information about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft handguns are completely approved and licensed versions of their genuine firearm equivalents and look and operate in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these forms of handguns have positives and negatives related to them. Learning about the varieties of airsoft pistols helps you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most heavy duty and typical types of pistols. They are all weather weapons working well in lots of kinds of temperatures, weather and environments. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs down the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is normally housed in the pistol’s magazine in the handle.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are great choices for airsoft games in colder temperatures given that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to FPS decreases by low temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft sidearms very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for example where other sorts of airsoft handguns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny steel cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of just one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, as a result of the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cylinders under extremely high pressure of near ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, but as soon as they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge 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 additional gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if the cylinders are kept sealed. They do have a maker’s best used by date usually printed on the package or cylinder, however they will probably stay pressurized for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 handguns, but they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is almost the exact same as CO2 pistols with the weapons at around 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is stored in the pistol’s mag that can commonly hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the pistol style. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas pressurized in the magazine until the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When using a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or primary weapon, additional magazines are suggested for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra magazines allows you to re engage in the action throughout firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles and full-sized AEGs are typically not allowed to be used during indoor game play. This is a safety guideline due to the close range proximity of players during the shooting engagements. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different styles of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas usually functions extremely well, it does have limits. This includes when green gas guns are used in the winter airsoft games in the snow or in colder weather (like under 32 deg F). Considering that the green gas or propane gas is kept in the weapon’s mag by silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can impact the seals and allow the gas to escape prior to firing the pistol. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather).
One option to this issue is to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by putting them next to your body just before game play. If you truly want to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it may also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong coil springs that propel the airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. They are usually one shot only. The manual functioning of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When dealing with opponents on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles like auto airsoft AEG assault rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns, this makes spring airsoft guns enjoyable to use, however less effective.
Spring airsoft guns perform best in springer wars where game players can exclusively use comparable, single shot spring guns or as an alternative backup weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick second followup shot will not be required due to the fact that the other player is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. Look out when attacking a number of foes given that the weapon only shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring guns are quite useful under the most ideal conditions during games. Spring guns like pistols can commonly fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs however precision reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Info
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to carry as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They work similar to an AEG SMG and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines typically can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare magazines to reload with and the battery holds out that long. These AEP pistols can accurately shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has grown significantly in recent years. The first gen AEP guns were a little bit questionable and unreliable, however the more recent models have most of the bugs worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be further modified with maximized magazine storage capacities along with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A large advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the battery connections to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you can get a large jump in performance by employing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
Finding the right airsoft handgun for you depends on how much you can afford to spend, how often you plan to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. If you can use at least one-hundred dollars to invest in your airsoft pistol, look at a green gas blowback pistol or AEP handgun. These are typically the best of the best, have the greatest build qualities, and are usually a really good airsoft gun to invest in. If you have in-between more than $50 but less than $100 to devote to your airsoft gun purchase, check out a CO2 handgun or a more affordable GBB handgun. These mid-tier guns will still function well and will be sturdy sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than $50. You can still buy a well-built airsoft pistol to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
