Info About the Designs of Airsoft Pistols
Learn about airsoft sidearms and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best handgun and practicing with it can make all the difference in blasting your shots. Pistols, by nature, are lower range airsoft weapons. They are quite often fashioned after genuine sidearms or miniatures of authentic handguns. Lots of airsoft pistols are completely licensed releases of their actual weapon equivalents. These airsoft guns can function (short of shooting bullets) in the same ways and visually look similarly to the real guns they are designed around while shooting airsoft BBs in place of genuine bullets.
There are a number of kinds of airsoft pistols including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these types of sidearms has negatives and positives associated with them. Learning about the types of airsoft handguns lets you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most popular and long lasting types of pistols. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These styles of airsoft pistols are exceptional for playing airsoft in cooler temperatures considering that the compressed CO2 gas is less sensitive to performance variations by temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft sidearms exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other types of sidearms like green gas cease to work or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a metal cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas consisting of just one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 cylinders are not reusable and you can typically order them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely and securely inside, once they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not used up. You ought to try to consume the entire CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some handgun accuracy and target practice and burn up the remaining surplus gas. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the pistol stops firing.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They are made with the supplier’s use by date typically marked on the box or cartridge cylinder, however, they may stay pressurized for a long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Green gas airsoft pistols function similarly to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to fire 6mm airsoft BBs. The impact on game play and green gas pistol efficiency is basically the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or automatic firing modes and accurate at short to mid-range distances.
The propane is held in the handgun’s magazine that can often hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the pistol model. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas stored in the mag until the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When bringing a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a primary or secondary gun, additional pistol mags are advised for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra magazines on-hand allows you to re-engage in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are usually not approved to be used during indoor game play. This is an essential safety guideline due to the close quarters distance of gamers during the shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a decreased level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different forms of green gas airsoft pistols. First there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols operate like a genuine handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” with every shot. The gas causes the slide to cycle every time a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This effect is really cool, however the handguns frequently are more expensive and likely have more parts which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns usually cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about 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 kept in the handgun magazine using rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, the cold can negatively affect these o-rings and cause the stored gas to escape prior to shooting the gun. This can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a number of feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the GBB handgun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One strategy to this problem is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by positioning them next to your body or near a heat source just before the airsoft game play. If you truly want to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred pistol.
Info on Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that fire the airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. They are normally one shot. The manual action of reloading, firing, and cocking spring handguns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. When taking on challengers on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons and fully auto airsoft AEG SMGs, rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols, this can make spring airsoft guns entertaining to use, but less efficient.
Spring guns work most effectively in springer battles where game players can only use similar, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick second followup shot isn’t really needed because the other opponent is already struck and out of the game or going back to respawn. Beware when engaging numerous adversaries considering the weapon just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring handguns are really reliable under the most ideal circumstances. Spring pistols can commonly shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to hit targets decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Info
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to carry as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They function much like an AEG SMG and use compressed air with electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines generally carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends if you have enough spare magazines to reload with and the battery holds out that long. These AEP handguns can efficiently fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has risen significantly recently. The initial gens were a bit sketchy and undependable, however the more recent designs have the issues resolved and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modded with increased mag capacities in addition to accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial advantage of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the adapters to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun type, you can get a big jump in functionality by taking advantage of a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Buy?
If you have $100 or more to use to buy your airsoft handgun, take a look at a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric pistol. If you have between $50 to $100 to invest, evaluate a CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB handgun. If your gun budget is lower, you can still choose a long lasting airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
