About Airsoft Pistol Varieties
Find out about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the best pistol can make an impact in aiming your shots. Handguns, naturally, are short range airsoft weapons. They are quite often produced after real world sidearms or copies of legitimate pistols. Many airsoft sidearms are fully licensed models of their real-world handgun equivalents. These airsoft guns can look and handle in the same ways identically to the real guns they are designed around while firing airsoft BBs in place of actual bullets.
There are several varieties of airsoft sidearms consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these types of handguns have negatives and positives associated with them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft pistols lets you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most long lasting and typical types of handguns. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These types of airsoft guns are good choices for playing in cold temperatures due to the fact that the pressurized CO2 gas is less susceptible to variation by temperature. This fact offers good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for example where other types of sidearms like green gas cease to operate or hardly shoot airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a metallic cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas comprised of just one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however once they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are stored sealed. They are made with a supplier’s expiry date usually noted on the package or cylinder, however they will last for a prolonged time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft sidearms resemble CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel 6mm airsoft pellets. The outcome on game play and green gas handgun functionality is practically the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at short to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is housed in the handgun’s grip within the mag and can typically hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending upon the pistol style. A series of valves, rubberized stoppers, and o-rings keep the propane housed in the mag until the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a good idea to top off and refill the green gas reserves in your mag each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding gamers can additionally carry surplus bottles of propane in the field for refilling magazines between lulls in the war or in-between game play.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a backup or primary weapon, extra handgun magazines are highly recommended for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional mags on-hand helps you join in the action during firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not enabled to be used during indoor game play. This is an essential safety guideline because of the close range proximity of gamers during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy propelling 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 2 different styles of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas usually functions effectively, it does have limits. For example, when green gas guns are played with during the winter season in the snow or in colder temperatures (like less than 32 deg F). Because the green gas or propane gas is held in the weapon’s mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can impair these seals and make the stored gas to escape before shooting. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this problem is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by holding them next to your body or near a heat source before game play starts. If you truly need to play with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred pistol.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Info
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful coil springs that shoot the BBs out of the gun barrel. The manual actions of cocking, firing, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring sidearms perform most effectively in springer battles where game players can only use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast second follow-up shot will not be required because the other player is already hit by the first shot and out of the gameplay or headed back to respawn. When engaging multiple rivals since the gun just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring guns are considerably reliable under the most ideal scenarios. Their FPS typically chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These guns generally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the coiled springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring guns can generally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but precision is reduced quickly. Choosing standard 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a reduced shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet with increased precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to carry as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They function just like an AEG rifle and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines generally carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually risen substantially in recent years. The initial generations were a little bit sketchy and undependable, but the more recent designs have the bugs resolved and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be modified with maximized magazine storage capacities and by accommodating larger batteries.
A large benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the connections to use a bigger battery. Depending upon the AEG handgun style, you may be able to get a sizable boost in functionality by utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) in place of the standard AEP battery. Beware of modifying the parts and the gun’s wires since you should take into account the voltages, mAh, and loads of the battery. If you have modding questions, ask a qualified professional gun specialist at your nearest airsoft store or shop.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me?
Selecting the best airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you can afford, how much you want to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. Look into a green gas blowback handgun or AEP pistol if you have over one-hundred dollars to invest on your airsoft handgun. These kinds of handguns are typically the top-tier guns, have the most effective performance, and are usually a great gun to get. Consider a CO2 handgun or less costly GBB handgun if you have about more than $50 but less than $100 to invest. These mid-tier guns will still function well and are pretty long lasting sidearms. If you have less than $50, find a lower end CO2 or springer handgun. You can still buy a long-lasting airsoft handgun to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
