Information on the Styles of Airsoft Pistols
Find out about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns 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 short range airsoft weapons. They are typically produced after real world handguns or imitations of genuine pistols. Quite a few airsoft sidearms are completely licensed releases of their real weapon equivalents. These airsoft guns can appear and function (sans shooting bullets) in the same ways similarly to the real guns they are designed around while shooting airsoft BBs rather than actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these kinds of handguns has benefits and differences connected with them. Learning about the styles of airsoft handguns allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most sturdy and typical types of pistols. They are all season, all weather pistols and function well in a lot of types of weather, varying temperatures, and environments. These sidearms use high pressure CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is normally housed in the pistol’s magazine.
These forms of airsoft guns are excellent for playing in cooler temperatures because the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance decreases with temperature levels. This fact provides very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other sorts of airsoft handguns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and two oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cartridges are not multiple-use and you can typically purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, once they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not used up. You should attempt to use up the whole CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level sign on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the pistol stops shooting BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They have a maker’s use by date typically printed on the package or cartridge, however they may last for a long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistol Info
Green gas airsoft handguns resemble CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane for propellant to fire 6mm airsoft BBs. The outcome on airsoft games and green gas pistol performance is basically the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at very short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is housed in the pistol’s mag and can often hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending upon the gun style. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the propane housed in the magazine till the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good choice to refill and top off the propane supply in the magazine each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding gamers can even carry supplemental bottles of green gas in the field for refilling between breaks in the battle or in-between missions.
When playing with a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a main or backup gun, additional handgun magazines are advised for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional mags on-hand allows you to join in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are typically not allowed to be used during indoor engagements. This is an essential safety standard due to the close range proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. First, there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns operate like an actual handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. When a brand-new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas induces the slide to cycle. This functioning while shooting is really cool, however the GBB pistols often cost more and possibly have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols typically cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same when comparing the two varieties of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Since the green gas or propane is held in the handgun magazine by using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temperatures can impact these seals and cause the stored gas to leak out before shooting the pistol. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the GBB handgun would normally shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One solution to this problem is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by placing them inside your jacket next to your body before airsoft game play. This can help to heat up the seals and valves and help to seal in the green gas. It might also be worth buying a CO2 version of your favorite pistol if you truly prefer to play with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and these guns shoot better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Details
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that shoot the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual actions of firing, cocking, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols.
Spring pistols perform best in springer wars where participants can exclusively use similar, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast 2nd followup shot is not required because the other player is now hit by the first BB and out of the gameplay or headed back to respawn. When engaging many different opponents given that the spring airsoft gun only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring pistols are extremely useful under the appropriate situations. Their FPS usually chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These pistols usually fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the coiled springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft weapons. Spring handguns can normally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to hit targets diminishes quickly. Choosing basic 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a reduced shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet or less with enhanced target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Info
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to bring as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They function just like an AEG gun and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags usually can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually increased significantly recently. The first generations were a bit undependable and questionable, however the latest versions have most of the bugs resolved and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be further modified with maximized magazine storage capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A big advantage of buying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the connections to use a larger battery. Depending upon the AEG pistol version, you are able to gain a substantial boost in efficiency utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) in place of the standard AEP battery. Take extra precautions when tweaking the parts and wires since you need to take into consideration the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. If you have customization concerns, ask a qualified professional airsoft service tech at your local airsoft store or shop.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Buy?
If you have $100 or more to spend on your airsoft handgun, evaluate a GBB handgun or AEG handgun. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend, look at a good quality CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB pistol. If your gun budget is lower, you can still look for a durable airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games by checking out lower end pistols and by shopping the used airsoft gun market.
