Airsoft Handgun Style Additional Information
Learn more about airsoft handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best sidearm and practicing with it can make a big difference in hitting your shots. Sidearms, by nature, are diminished range airsoft guns. They are usually designed after authentic sidearms or clones of real handguns. A large number of airsoft pistols are completely certified releases of their real-world gun equivalents. These airsoft guns can look and feel and function (sans shooting bullets) in the same ways identically to the real guns they are designed around while blasting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these varieties of sidearms come with negatives and positives associated with them. Learning about the styles of airsoft handguns helps you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft sidearms are among the most common and long lasting types of pistols. They are all season handguns and work well in a lot of kinds of weather, temperatures, and environments. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is usually held in the handgun’s magazine inside the handle.
These types of airsoft pistols are exceptional for playing airsoft in cold and snowy temperatures considering that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance variations with low temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft handguns exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other styles of sidearms like green gas stop performing or barely fire BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny steel cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas made up of a single carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, therefore the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cylinders under very high pressure of close to ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, however when they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft gun 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 pistol 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 a maker’s use by date usually listed on the package or cartridge, however, they may maintain pressure for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft sidearms resemble CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft pellets. The impact on gameplay and green gas handgun efficiency is almost the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ feet per second. Shots are rapidly fired in automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and can hit targets at very short to mid-range distances.
The propane is kept in the pistol’s magazine that can often hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the handgun type. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas stored in the mag till the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When using a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a backup or main gun, extra mags are advised for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra mags helps you join in the action during firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not enabled to be used during indoor game play. This is an essential safety regulation due to the close quarters distance of players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a decreased level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different types of green gas airsoft handguns. To begin with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns function like a legitimate handgun with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. Every time a fresh airsoft BB is chambered, the gas causes the slide to cycle. This functionality is extremely cool, however the weapons typically cost more and possibly have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns have a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback weapons usually cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same between the two types of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas generally functions extremely well, it does have constraints. This includes when they are played with in the winter airsoft season in the snow or in colder temperatures (like less than 32 deg F). Given that the green gas or propane gas is kept in the magazine using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, low temperatures can impair the seals and trigger the gas to escape prior to shooting airsoft BBs. This can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would ordinarily shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One option to fix this problem is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them close to your body before airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the seals and better seal in the green gas. If you honestly desire to play airsoft with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold, it can also be better to check out a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun shoots much better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that fire the airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. They are generally single-shot. The manual functioning of cocking, firing, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When dealing with other players on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry, auto airsoft AEG assault rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns, this makes spring guns fun to use, however less effective.
Spring airsoft guns perform the best in springer battles where airsoft players can exclusively use related, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters backup gun for CQB settings when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast 2nd followup shot isn’t needed since the other player is already struck and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. When engaging numerous enemies considering that the gun only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring handguns are considerably efficient under the proper circumstances and airsoft games. Their FPS generally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These handguns usually fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs since the coiled springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring handguns can typically shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however precision decreases rapidly. Using regular 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a decreased range of about 60 to 80 feet with improved target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to carry as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They work just like an AEG SMG and use pressured air with electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun magazines usually hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs approximately about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS using 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 and the battery lasts that long. These AEP handguns can effectively fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has grown significantly in the last few years. The initial generation guns were a little bit sketchy and unreliable, but the latest designs have the deficiencies resolved and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further modded with enhanced magazine capacities and also accommodating larger batteries.
A large perk of using an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the connections to use a bigger battery with higher mAh. Based on the AEG pistol style, you can get a large jump in performance and fire rate using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the standard mini battery. Take care of modifying the components and wires because you need to think about the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. If you have modding concerns, ask a qualified airsoft gun service technician at your nearest airsoft store.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft pistol, you may want to consider a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric pistol. If you have between $50 to $100 to upgrade your gun, check out a good quality CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB handgun. You can still play with a long lasting airsoft handgun by checking out lower end pistols and by shopping for used pistols if you need to save money.
