Airsoft Pistol Variety Additional Info
Learn about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Numerous airsoft handguns are fully manufacturer licensed editions of their genuine pistol equivalents and look and operate in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are several varieties of airsoft sidearms including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these varieties of handguns have negatives and positives connected with them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft pistols lets you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most common and heavy-duty types of sidearms. These pistols use CO2 stored in small cylinders to move airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These types of airsoft guns are good for playing in colder weather given that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to variation caused by low temperature. This fact gives CO2 airsoft handguns exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other varieties of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop functioning or barely fire BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny steel cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas made up of just one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, consequently the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cylinders under extremely high pressure of about ~ 800psi that correlates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however as soon as they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge 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 chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They do have the maker’s expiry date normally marked on the box or cartridge cylinder, however, they will probably maintain pressure for a long time past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns function similarly to CO2 guns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane for propellant to fire the airsoft BBs. The operational impact on gameplay and green gas sidearm functionality is basically the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ FPS. Shots are quickly fired in automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and accurate at shorter to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is kept in the pistol’s airsoft mag that can normally hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the gas pressurized in the magazine before the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a main or backup gun, bringing additional handgun magazines is suggested for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra mags allows you to re engage in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles and full-sized AEGs are generally not authorized 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 shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a lower level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different sorts of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is stored in the magazine by rubber o-rings, seals, and silicone gaskets, the cold can negatively impact these o-rings and allow the stored gas to escape prior to shooting. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a number of feet (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the handgun would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One fix for this problem is to try to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by placing them next to a heat source or by your body prior to game play. This can help to warm up the seals, gaskets, and valves and help to seal in the green gas. It may also be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite pistol if you actually need to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun shoots better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs that launch the BBs out of the gun barrel. The manual functions of firing, reloading, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols.
Spring sidearms and guns perform most effectively in springer wars where airsoft players can solely use related, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters combat backup gun for CQB settings when you can often sneak up to other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast second follow-up shot will not be called for because the other opponent is now hit and out of the gameplay or headed back to respawn. Take care when attacking a number of opponents since the springer only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring handguns are very useful under the proper situations. Spring guns like pistols can often shoot up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs but the ability to hit targets decreases quickly.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft pistols 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 pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They operate just like an AEG SMG and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol mags typically carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually risen significantly recently. The first generations were a bit unreliable and sketchy, however the latest designs have most of the problems worked out and make reliable airsoft backup guns. They can be further modified with increased mag storage capacities as well as accommodating larger batteries.
A significant benefit of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the opportunity to rewire the battery wires to use an increased capacity battery with longer life. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you can gain a substantial output in functionality by using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock battery. Beware of tweaking the elements and wires since you need to take into account the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. If you have customization questions, ask a pro airsoft gun technician at your nearest airsoft store.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol, you may want to consider a GBB pistol or AEG pistol. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to invest, look at a CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB handgun. If your gun budget is lower, you can still find a resilient airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games by checking out lower end pistols and by shopping the used airsoft gun market.
