Airsoft Pistol Design Additional Info
Find information about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft pistols are completely manufacturer licensed editions of their actual handgun counterparts and run and look in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these types of pistols come with negatives and positives related to them. Finding out about the kinds of airsoft sidearms lets you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most typical and dependable types of sidearms. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These types of airsoft guns are excellent for playing airsoft in cold weather conditions because the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to performance decreases with temperature. This fact provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other styles of airsoft sidearms like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire airsoft BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a metal cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas comprised of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however once they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft weapon 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 extra gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They come with the maker’s expiration date usually printed on the package or cylinder, however, they will survive for a very long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handgun Information
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, however they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is practically the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane is held in the pistol’s magazine which can typically hold around 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the magazine up until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When using a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a primary or secondary weapon, bringing extra handgun mags is advised for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional magazines allows you to re engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not approved to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety guideline due to the close range proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a decreased 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 various styles of green gas airsoft pistols. To begin with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns operate like an authentic handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The gas induces the slide to cycle when a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This cycling is really cool, however the handguns frequently cost more and potentially have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols normally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same between the two varieties of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas normally works effectively, it does have restrictions. When green gas and GBB guns are used over the winter in the snow or in colder temperatures (such as below 32 deg F). Considering that the green gas or propane gas is stored in the pistol mag by rubber seals and gaskets, cold weather can negatively affect the seals and trigger the gas to escape prior to shooting. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would ordinarily shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One option to fix this issue is to try to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by holding them close to your body just before the airsoft game play. This can help to warm the seals, gaskets, and valves and help to seal in the green gas. If you really want to have fun with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold, it can also be worth checking out a CO2 version of your preferred handgun. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun shoots much better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong springs that fire the airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are generally single-shot. The manual functions of cocking, reloading, and firing spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. When fighting against other airsoft players on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons and fully automatic airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols, this can make them enjoyable to use, but less effective.
Spring airsoft guns perform most effectively in springer battles where game players can exclusively use related, single shot spring guns or as a transition weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a quick second follow-up shot will not be required due to the fact that the other player is now hit and out of the gameplay or going back to respawn. Look out when fighting several enemies since the spring gun just fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring pistols are extremely effective under the most ideal scenarios. Their FPS commonly chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12g airsoft BBs. These handguns usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the coiled springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft guns. Spring guns can normally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but accuracy is reduced quickly. Shooting normal 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a reduced range of around 60 to 80 feet or less with heightened target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Details
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring into the field as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They operate just like an AEG gun and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines usually can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually risen significantly recently. The earliest gen guns were a bit sketchy and undependable, however the more recent versions have the deficiencies worked out and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be further upgraded with increased mag capacities together with accommodating bigger batteries.
A substantial benefit of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you can gain a large output in performance by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Play with?
If you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol, you may want to consider a GBB pistol or AEG handgun. If you have around $50 to $100 to buy a gun, check out a CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB pistol. If you are on a budget, you can still get a resilient airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games by checking out lower end pistols and by shopping the used airsoft gun market.
