Information About Airsoft Handgun Varieties
Find information about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft pistols are fully manufactured editions of their real gun counterparts and look and operate in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these kinds of handguns come with benefits and differences associated with them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft sidearms allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most common and resilient types of handguns. They are all-weather weapons working well in lots of kinds of weather, extreme temperatures, and environments. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is typically located in the handgun’s magazine.
These types of airsoft weapons are exceptional for playing in cooler weather given that the pressurized CO2 gas is less vulnerable to FPS decreases caused by temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft handguns good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other types of handguns like green gas stop working or hardly fire pellets.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a chrome cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas consisting of a single carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 cartridges are not multiple-use and you can typically order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely and securely inside, once they are punctured (firing them in an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You should attempt to run through the whole CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some pistol accuracy and target practice and expend the remainder of the excess gas. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the handgun stops cycling.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have a supplier’s expiry date typically marked on the package or cylinder, but they can stay pressurized for a long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 guns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot the airsoft pellets. The impact on game play and green gas sidearm performance is practically the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or automatic firing modes and can accurately hit targets at very short to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s mag which can commonly hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol style. A set of valves, rubber stoppers, and o-rings keep the propane pressurized in the pistol magazine prior to when the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great choice to top off and refill your green gas in the pistol mag each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can also carry excess bottles of green gas in the field for refilling magazines between breaks in the battle or in-between games.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a main or secondary weapon, extra pistol mags are highly recommended for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional mags allows you to get back in the action during firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields considering that long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not permitted to be used for indoor game play. This is an essential safety guideline because of the close quarters distance of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a lower level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking 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. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Since the green gas or propane is kept in the pistol mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temps can impact these seals and allow the gas to escape prior to shooting the handgun. This can make the airsoft BBs to just land a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the handgun would typically shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One option to this problem is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket before game play starts. If you absolutely desire to play with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong coil springs that launch the BBs out of the pistol barrel. The manual functioning of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring airsoft guns perform the best in springer battles where participants can just use similar, single shot spring weapons or as an alternative weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can often sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast 2nd follow-up shot isn’t needed because the other opponent is now hit and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. Be careful when attacking a number of opponents considering the springer just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring handguns are quite reliable under the best situations. Spring guns like pistols can commonly shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to engage targets decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to use as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They work just like an AEG rifle and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines usually carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends if you have enough spare mags to maintain the ammo supply and the battery maintains its charge that long. These AEP handguns can accurately fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has increased significantly in the last few years. The earliest generation guns were a bit undependable and sketchy, however the more recent versions have the deficiencies worked out and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be modified with enhanced mag capacities in addition to accommodating bigger batteries.
A huge benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the opportunity to rewire the battery connectors to use an enhanced battery with higher mAh. Based on the AEG pistol style, you can gain a substantial output in efficiency by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock mini battery. Be careful when customizing the components and the gun’s wires since you need to think about the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. If you have modding questions, ask a qualified professional weapon tech at your local airsoft store.
What Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Buy?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft handgun, evaluate a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric handgun. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to upgrade your gun, check out a good quality CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB handgun. You can still play with a long lasting airsoft handgun by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft pistols if you need to save money.
