Airsoft Pistol Design Details
Find information about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as extra weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft handguns are completely approved and licensed releases of their actual handgun counterparts and run and look in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these styles of handguns come with benefits and differences related to them. Learning more about the types of airsoft sidearms allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most popular and tough styles of handguns. They are all season, all weather pistols and work well in many kinds of weather, temperatures, and climates. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is normally kept in the handgun’s magazine.
These forms of airsoft guns are exceptional for airsoft games in colder weather due to the fact that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to FPS decreases with low temperatures. This fact provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other types of handguns like green gas cease to work or hardly shoot BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a metallic cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas composed of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 cartridges are not multiple-use and you can normally buy them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas securely inside, once they are punctured (firing them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You should try to expend the entire CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas leftover, use the opportunity to do some pistol accuracy and target practice and expend the remaining extra gas. There is no gas level gauge on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the pistol stops shooting.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They have a maker’s use by date normally listed on the package or cartridge, but they may stay pressurized for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the exact same as CO2 pistols with the weapons at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the handgun’s magazine which can often hold in-between 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs based on the gun model. A set of valves, rubberized stoppers, and seals keep the propane sealed in the pistol mag until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great habit to refill and top off your green gas supply in the magazine each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding gamers can additionally carry excess bottles of green gas in the field for refilling magazines in-between lulls in the war or in-between missions.
When carrying a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a secondary or main weapon, additional handgun magazines are strongly recommended for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra mags allows you to re engage in the action during firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles and full-sized AEGs are generally not permitted to be used during indoor game play. This is a safety regulation because of the close range distance of gamers during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a lower level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various styles 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 handguns use a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas typically works effectively on the airsoft field, it does have issues. When they are used throughout the winter airsoft games in the snow or in colder temperatures (such as under 32 deg F). Since the green gas or propane is kept in the mag using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can affect the seals and allow the gas to leak out before shooting airsoft BBs. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer temps).
One fix for this problem is to try to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by positioning them near your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to warm the rubber gaskets and help to seal in the green gas. It can also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun if you truly want to play airsoft with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun will shoot far better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Details
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs that launch the airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. They are generally one shot. The manual action of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. When engaging enemies on the airsoft field with enhanced guns like automatic airsoft AEG rifles, SMGs, and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols, this can make spring airsoft pistols enjoyable to use, but less effective.
Spring guns work the best in springer battles where game players can only use comparable, single shot spring pistols or as a transitional weapon for CQB environments when you can often surprise other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a rapid second followup shot is not really needed given that the other player is already hit by the first BB and out of the game play or going back to respawn. When engaging several enemies considering that the springer only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring pistols are extremely effective under the right conditions. Spring handguns can often shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to hit targets reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to bring into the field as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They function similar to an AEG SMG and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun magazines normally can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has risen considerably in the last few years. The first generation guns were a bit unreliable and questionable, but the more recent designs have the issues worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be modded with increased magazine capacities as well as accommodating bigger batteries.
A huge benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the connectors to use an increased capacity battery. Depending upon the AEG pistol design, you may be able to gain a large boost in functionality using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the standard AEP battery. Take extra precautions when adjusting the elements and the gun’s wires because you should think about the volts, mAh, and loads of the battery. Ask a professional airsoft tech at your nearest airsoft store or shop if you have modding problems.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have $100 or more to use to buy your airsoft pistol, check out a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric handgun. If you have in-between $50 to $100 to spend, review a good quality CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB handgun. You can still play with a long lasting airsoft handgun by checking out cheaper pistols and by shopping for used pistols if you are trying to save money.
