Information About the Designs of Airsoft Handguns
Find information about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft pistols are fully licensed versions of their genuine weapon equivalents and look and run in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of authentic bullets.
There are several varieties of airsoft pistols such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these types of pistols has negatives and positives associated with them. Learning about the types of airsoft handguns allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most popular and tough types of sidearms. These pistols use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to launch airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These forms of airsoft handguns are good choices for airsoft games in cooler weather conditions since the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to performance variations by low temperatures. This fact gives CO2 airsoft handguns very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other types of airsoft guns like green gas cease to operate or hardly fire airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a chrome cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, but when they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge 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 chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They do have the supplier’s expiration date typically marked on the package or cartridge cylinder, but they will probably maintain pressure for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is sealed in the handgun’s mag and can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the handgun model. A sequence of valves, rubber stoppers, and seals keep the gas stored in the pistol mag up to when the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a good idea to refill and top off the green gas reserves in the pistol mag each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding gamers can additionally take surplus bottles of green gas in the field for reloading in-between lulls in the battle or between game play.
When using a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a primary or backup weapon, bringing extra pistol mags is highly recommended for quickly reloading. Having extra magazines on-hand helps you get back in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields considering that long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not enabled to be used for indoor engagements. This is an essential safety standard because of the close quarters distance of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different sorts of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas typically performs very well on the airsoft field, it does have restrictions. When they are used throughout the winter season in the snow or in cold weather conditions (such as under 32 deg F). Given that the green gas or propane is stored in the weapon’s mag using rubber seals and gaskets, low temperatures can negatively affect the seals and trigger the gas to leak out before firing the handgun. This can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would ordinarily shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer temperatures).
One strategy to this problem is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by placing them next to your body or near a heat source prior to game play starts. If you really need to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it may also be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Details
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that fire the airsoft BBs down the gun barrel. They are typically only able to shoot one BB. The manual actions of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. When confronting other players on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles like auto airsoft AEG SMGs, assault rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns, this makes spring guns enjoyable to use, however less effective.
Spring handguns work best in springer battles where opponents can solely use related, 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 scenario, a fast 2nd followup shot is not really needed given that the other opponent is now hit by the first shot and out of the game play or moving back to respawn. Be careful when engaging several foes since the weapon just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring handguns are very useful under the proper circumstances and airsoft games. Their FPS commonly chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These weapons generally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the springs are less powerful than other kinds of airsoft guns. Spring handguns can generally be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to hit targets is reduced quickly. Using regular 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a range of about 60 to 80 feet or less with improved accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring into the field as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They operate just like an AEG rifle and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags normally can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has grown substantially in recent years. The first generation guns were a little bit undependable and questionable, however the newer models have the bugs resolved and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be modified with increased magazine storage capacities and also accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the connectors to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can get a sizable output in performance by adopting a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the stock mini battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
Selecting the best airsoft pistol for you depends on how much you want to spend, how much you want to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. If you can use more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, consider a green gas blowback handgun or AEG handgun. These are normally the top of the line, have good performance, and can be a good gun to get. Check out a CO2 pistol or less expensive green gas GBB pistol if you have about $50 to $100 to buy a gun. Mid-tier guns like these will still do the job and are tough sidearms. If you have $50 or less, try to find a low end CO2 or spring handgun. You can still get a tough airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
