Airsoft Handgun Design Details
Learn about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft pistols are fully manufactured versions of their actual weapon counterparts and look and function in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a number of types of airsoft sidearms consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these styles of pistols have positives and negatives related to them. Learning about the styles of airsoft sidearms lets you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most typical and resilient varieties of handguns. They are all-weather pistols and operate well in lots of kinds of weather and climates. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is generally located in the gun’s magazine.
These forms of airsoft pistols are very good for playing in cold weather conditions because the high pressure CO2 gas is less vulnerable to performance variations caused by low temperatures. This fact offers good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other kinds of pistols like green gas stop performing or barely shoot pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a chrome metal cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridges under very high pressure of around ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however soon after they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) they will start 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 handgun target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if the cylinders are stored sealed. They are made with the maker’s use by date usually listed on the box or cartridge, however they will survive for a long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft pistols function similarly to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot the airsoft pellets. The effect on airsoft games and green gas pistol effectiveness is basically the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic shooting modes and accurate at short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is sealed in the handgun’s magazine which can typically hold roughly 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs based on the pistol model. A set of valves, rubber stoppers, and seals keep the propane housed in the mag up until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good idea to fill up and top off your green gas supply in the mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can also take extra bottles of green gas in the field for reloading mags in-between lulls in the fight or in-between game play.
When running a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or secondary weapon, additional magazines are advised for quickly reloading. Having additional mags helps you get back in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles and full-sized AEGs are generally not authorized to be used for indoor shooting. This is a safety guideline due to the close range proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy moving the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different types of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Because the green gas or propane gas is stored in the magazine by using rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, cold temps can negatively impact these o-rings and allow the stored gas to escape before shooting the pistol. This can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the GBB handgun would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One option to fix this issue is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by holding them next to a heater or by your body just before the airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the rubber gaskets and help to seal in the green gas. If you honestly want to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold, it can also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and these guns shoot much better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful coil springs that fire the airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel. They are normally one shot. The manual actions of reloading, cocking, and firing spring pistols makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When fighting against adversaries on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles like fully automatic airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols, this makes spring airsoft pistols fun to use, but less effective.
Spring airsoft guns work best in springer wars where opponents can just use similar, single shot spring guns or as a transitional backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid second followup shot isn’t required due to the fact that the other opponent is now hit by the first shot and out of the game play or moving back to respawn. When engaging a number of adversaries since the gun only shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring handguns are quite efficient under the most ideal situations. Spring pistols can commonly shoot accurately up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs however precision decreases quickly.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to use as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They function just like an AEG gun and use pressurized air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol mags typically can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs right up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute assuming you have enough spare mags to reload the gun and the battery lasts that long. These handguns can accurately fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has grown considerably over the last few years. The earliest generation AEP guns were a little bit unreliable and sketchy, but the more recent designs have most of the bugs resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be upgraded with maximized mag capacities as well as accommodating more powerful batteries.
A significant advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capacity to rewire the connectors to use a bigger battery with longer life. Based on the AEG handgun version, you can gain a sizable leap in efficiency by utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the standard mini battery. Take extra precautions when modifying the elements and wires since you must take into consideration the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. Ask a qualified weapon tech at your nearest airsoft shop if you have customization inquiries.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, take a look at a green gas blowback handgun or automatic electric handgun. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to invest, look at a CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB handgun. If you are on a budget, you can still choose a resilient airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
