Airsoft Pistol Style Additional Information
Learn about airsoft handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal pistol and practicing with it can make all the difference in improving your shots. Pistols, naturally, are short range airsoft guns. They are often made after real world pistols or clones of authentic pistols. A large number of airsoft pistols are completely licensed adaptations of their real firearm counterparts. These airsoft guns can function (short of shooting bullets) in the same ways and visually appear identical to the real guns they are designed around while shooting airsoft BBs in place of authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these types of pistols has benefits and differences connected with them. Learning more about the kinds of airsoft sidearms helps you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are among the most popular and sturdy varieties of handguns. They are all-season handguns and function well in many types of weather, varying temperatures, and environments. These sidearms use pressurized CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is typically housed in the gun’s handle.
These forms of airsoft handguns are very good for playing airsoft in cooler weather conditions due to the fact that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to performance decreases with low temperatures. This fact provides excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other types of guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire pellets.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny metallic cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 cartridge cylinders are not multiple-use and you can typically purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely within, but soon after they are punctured (firing them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You need to attempt to use up the entire CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indicator on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the handgun stops firing.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They are made with a manufacturer’s expiry date typically listed on the box or cylinder, however they will probably survive for a prolonged time past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 pistols, however they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the exact same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is stored in the pistol’s airsoft magazine which can usually hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the handgun design. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the magazine up until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When using a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or secondary gun, bringing extra handgun mags is encouraged for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional mags on-hand allows you to reengage in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not authorized to be used for indoor shooting. This is an essential safety standard because of the close range distance of gamers during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a decreased level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various styles of green gas airsoft pistols. First, there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols work like an authentic pistol with the gun’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. The gas induces the slide to cycle every time when a new airsoft BB is chambered. This functioning while shooting is extremely cool, but the handguns frequently cost more and potentially have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns typically cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two types of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas typically can be used extremely well, it does have limits. When green gas and GBB guns are used in the winter airsoft games in the snow or in cold temperatures (like under 32 deg F). Given that the green gas or propane is held in the weapon’s magazine by rubber seals and gaskets, the cold can impact these seals and trigger the gas to escape before firing the pistol. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One solution to this problem is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by putting them next to a heater or by your body before airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the rubber seals and help to seal in the green gas. It can also be worth checking out a CO2 version of your preferred handgun if you really want to play airsoft with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and these guns shoot better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that send the BBs out of the gun’s barrel. The manual functions of cocking, reloading, and firing spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns.
Spring guns perform the best in springer battles where players can solely use related, single shot spring guns or as a transition weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently surprise other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick 2nd followup shot will not be required due to the fact that the other opponent is now struck and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. Beware when attacking multiple adversaries because the spring gun just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring pistols are incredibly reliable under the correct conditions. Spring guns can commonly shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however target accuracy reduces rapidly.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to carry as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They function just like an AEG gun and use forced air forced through electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines generally can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually increased considerably in recent years. The early gen guns were a bit sketchy and unreliable, however the more recent models have the problems resolved and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be modified with maximized mag capacities together with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A big advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the battery connections to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you can get a huge jump in efficiency by taking advantage of a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock battery.
What Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Buy?
If you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft handgun, you may want to consider a GBB pistol or automatic electric pistol. If you have between $50 to $100 to spend, check out a CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB pistol. If your gun budget is lower, you can still choose a durable airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with players on the used airsoft gun market.
