Information About Airsoft Pistol Kinds
Find out about airsoft sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the right pistol can make all the difference in the accuracy of your shots. Sidearms, naturally, are much shorter range airsoft weapons. They are often made after real world guns or replications of actual pistols. A lot of airsoft sidearms are fully certified editions of their real-world handgun equivalents. These airsoft guns can visually appear and operate in the same ways identical to the real guns they are modeled around while blasting airsoft BBs rather than real-world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these styles of handguns come with negatives and positives related to them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft sidearms lets you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most resilient and typical types of sidearms. These pistols use CO2 stored in small cylinders to move airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These kinds of airsoft guns are good for playing airsoft in cold weather considering that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to performance variations with low temperature. This fact offers excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for example where other types of handguns like green gas stop functioning or hardly shoot BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas composed of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, subsequently the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cylinders under really high pressure of about ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, but as soon as they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the 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 opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if the cylinders are stored sealed. They come with the supplier’s expiration date usually noted on the package or cartridge cylinder, but they will last for a long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. The impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the exact same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane is stashed in the pistol’s airsoft mag that can commonly 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 stored in the magazine until the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup weapon, bringing additional pistol mags is recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra mags allows you to reengage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not allowed to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety regulation because of the close quarters distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB lower compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. To start with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns run like a real pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane induces the slide to cycle when a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. The result is extremely cool, however the guns typically cost more and potentially have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback handguns typically cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same between the two varieties of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Since the green gas or propane gas is housed in the handgun mag using rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, cold weather can affect these gaskets and cause the stored gas to escape before shooting the handgun. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just land a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One fix to this issue is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by placing them next to your body or near a heat source just before game play. If you truly desire to play with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite pistol.
Info on Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs that propel the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual functioning of firing, reloading, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring pistols work most effectively in springer battles where players can solely use related, single shot spring pistols or as a transition backup gun for CQB buildings when you can often sneak up to other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick 2nd follow-up shot isn’t needed since the other person is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game or moving back to respawn. When engaging multiple players considering that the spring airsoft gun just shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring pistols are very effective under the proper conditions during games. Their FPS normally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons generally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring pistols can normally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however accuracy diminishes quickly. Choosing standard 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet with heightened target accuracy.
Facts About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to use as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They function much like an AEG rifle and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun mags usually can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot 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 grown considerably recently. The early gen guns were a bit unreliable and questionable, but the more recent designs have the bugs resolved and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be further upgraded with maximized mag storage capacities as well as accommodating more powerful batteries.
A big benefit of using an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol design, you can get a big increase in performance by adopting a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Play with?
Looking for the right airsoft pistol for you depends on how much you can afford, how much you wish to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. If you can afford more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, take a look at a green gas handgun or AEG handgun. These guns are typically the best of the best, have the greatest efficiency, and are usually a pretty good investment. Take a look at a CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB handgun if you have around more than $50 but less than $100 to put towards an airsoft gun purchase. Mid-tier guns like these will still be fun to play with and can be pretty durable sidearms. Look for a low end CO2 or spring pistol if you have $50 or less. You can still buy a sturdy airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games.
