Airsoft Pistol Design Information
Learn about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft handguns are completely licensed editions of their genuine pistol equivalents and operate and appear in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than actual 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 gun sidearms. Each of these kinds of handguns has negatives and positives associated with them. Finding out about the kinds of airsoft pistols helps you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearm Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most heavy duty and popular varieties of pistols. They are all season, all weather pistols and work well in a lot of types of weather conditions and environments. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is typically kept in the pistol’s magazine inside the handle.
These types of airsoft handguns are exceptional for playing in cooler temperatures considering that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to FPS decreases with low temperature. This fact provides very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other kinds of guns like green gas stop performing or barely shoot BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas consisting of one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, thus the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cylinders under very high pressure of about ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
The CO2 cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can usually order them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas securely inside, but soon after they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are not used up. You must attempt to deplete the entire CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas leftover, use the chance to do some pistol accuracy and target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas. There is no gas level gauge on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the handgun stops firing BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They do have the maker’s expiration date normally marked on the box or cartridge cylinder, however, they will survive for a long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot the airsoft pellets. The result on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS. Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and precisely hit targets at very short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is stored in the pistol’s magazine which can typically hold around 15 to 20+ BBs based on the gun design. A sequence of valves, rubber stoppers, and o-rings keep the propane gas stored in the magazine until the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a good idea to refill and top off the green gas in your mag each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding gamers can also bring extra bottles of propane in the field for refilling between lulls in the battle or between activities.
When carrying a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a main or backup weapon, bringing extra handgun magazines is suggested for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional mags on-hand helps you get back in the action during firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not approved to be used during indoor gameplay. This is a safety regulation due to the close quarters distance of players during the shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy moving 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 2 different varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas normally works extremely well on the airsoft field, it does have constraints. When green gas and GBB guns are used throughout the winter season in the snow or in cold temperatures (such as below 32 degrees F). Considering that the green gas or propane gas is held in the weapon’s magazine by rubber seals and gaskets, the cold can impact these seals and cause the gas to leak out before shooting. This can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would normally shoot BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather conditions).
One fix to this problem is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by positioning them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket prior to the airsoft game play. If you really want to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold, it may also be worth getting a CO2 style of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful coil springs that shoot the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual action of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns.
Spring sidearms and guns perform best in springer wars where game players can only use comparable, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters combat weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick 2nd follow-up shot is not really needed given that the other opponent is already hit by the first shot and out of the game play or heading back to respawn. When engaging many different foes considering that the spring gun only shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring guns are quite useful under the right game circumstances. Their FPS commonly chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These handguns normally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs since the coiled springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft guns. Spring pistols can typically shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but precision reduces quickly. Using normal 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a decreased range of around 60 to 80 feet with enhanced accuracy.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They function just like an AEG rifle and use pressured air with electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines generally hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually risen significantly recently. The initial generation AEP guns were a little bit undependable and questionable, however the newer versions have the deficiencies resolved and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be modified with enhanced mag storage capacities as well as accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial perk of buying an AEG handgun is that you have the opportunity to rewire the battery wires to use an enhanced battery with higher mAh. Depending on the AEG handgun type, you are able to gain a large leap in performance and fire rate by using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock battery. Take extra precautions when changing the elements and wires because you must think about the voltages, mAh, and loads of the batteries. Ask an expert weapon technician at your local airsoft shop if you have modding questions.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me?
Selecting the most ideal airsoft pistol for you depends on your budget, how much you would like to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. Consider a green gas blowback pistol or AEP handgun if you have over $100 to invest on your airsoft handgun. These are typically the best of the best, have the best build qualities, and could be an excellent investment. If you can afford in-between $50 to $100 to use for your gun, look at a CO2 pistol or less expensive green gas handgun. Mid-tier guns like these will still be fun to play with and are pretty resilient sidearms. If you have less than fifty dollars, look for a cheap CO2 or springer handgun. You can still get a dependable airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
