Airsoft Handgun Style Additional Information
Learn about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft pistols are fully manufacturer licensed variations of their authentic pistol counterparts and operate and appear in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are several types of airsoft handguns such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these styles of pistols have positives and negatives connected with them. Finding out about the kinds of airsoft handguns helps you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most resilient and common types of handguns. These pistols use CO2 stored in small cylinders to force airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These types of airsoft pistols are good for airsoft games in cold and snowy temperatures given that the high pressure CO2 gas is less vulnerable to performance decreases caused by temperature levels. This gives CO2 airsoft handguns good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other sorts of handguns like green gas stop functioning or barely fire BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a metallic cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas made up of 1 carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cylinders under very high pressure of roughly ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
The CO2 cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can usually purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely and securely within, once they are punctured (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are not used up. You should attempt to deplete the entire CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some pistol 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 sign on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the gun stops shooting.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are kept sealed. They have a manufacturer’s best used by date normally noted on the package or cartridge, however they may survive for a prolonged period past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Green Gas Airsoft Handgun Details
Green gas airsoft sidearms function similarly to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft pellets. The result on game play and green gas pistol operation is essentially the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ feet per second. Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at very short to mid-range proximities.
The propane gas is kept in the pistol’s airsoft magazine which can typically hold between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the magazine until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or secondary weapon, extra magazines are highly recommended for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional magazines allows you to join in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not approved to be used for indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety regulation because of the close quarters distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy moving the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns function like an authentic pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. Each time a brand-new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas causes the slide to cycle. The result is really cool, but the GBB handguns typically are more expensive and likely have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback weapons usually cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is housed in the pistol magazine using rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, cold temps can negatively affect these seals and allow the gas to escape prior to shooting the gun. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the GBB handgun would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One strategy to this problem is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by placing them next to your body or by a heater prior to the airsoft game play. If you really need to play with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold, it might also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun.
Details About Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful springs that launch the airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. They are typically one shot. The manual functions of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring pistols makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. When engaging attackers on the airsoft field with enhanced guns like auto airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols, this can make them fun to use, but less effective.
Spring pistols work best in springer wars where game players can solely use related, single shot spring guns or as a transition backup gun for CQB environments when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast second followup shot is not required due to the fact that the other person is now hit and out of the gameplay or headed back to respawn. When engaging a number of attackers given that the springer just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring pistols are remarkably useful under the best conditions. Their FPS typically chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons generally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs because the pitched springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring handguns can generally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to hit targets accurately diminishes quickly. Choosing conventional 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet with increased precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Information
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to bring into the field as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They operate much like an AEG gun and use compressed air with electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines normally can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends if you have enough spare magazines to maintain the ammo supply and the battery maintains its charge that long. These handguns can efficiently shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually risen substantially in the last few years. The first generation guns were a bit sketchy and unreliable, however the latest versions have the problems resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be improved with enhanced magazine capacities as well as accommodating bigger batteries.
A substantial advantage of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the connectors to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can gain a sizable increase in functionality by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock mini battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Buy?
Picking out the ideal airsoft pistol for you depends upon how much you can afford to spend, how often you want to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. If you can use $100 or more to invest in your airsoft handgun, consider a green gas blowback handgun or AEP pistol. These guns are typically the top of the line, have the very best efficiency, and are usually a pretty good gun to invest in. If you can afford about $50 to $100 to devote to your airsoft gun purchase, check out a CO2 pistol or a cheaper green gas pistol. Mid-tier guns like these will still function well and can be tough sidearms. Look for a cheap CO2 or spring pistol if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still find a long lasting airsoft handgun to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
