Each of these varieties of handguns has benefits and differences related to them. Learning about the styles of airsoft pistols allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most heavy-duty and popular types of pistols. These pistols use CO2 stored in small cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are good for airsoft games in colder weather due to the fact that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to performance decreases with low temperatures. This fact gives CO2 airsoft handguns good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for example where other sorts of pistols like green gas stop operating or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a metallic cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, thus the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cylinders under extremely high pressure of near ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, 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 pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They have the supplier’s best used by date usually printed on the box or cylinder, however they will likely survive for an extended time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 pistols, but they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is virtually the very same as CO2 pistols with the guns around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stashed in the pistol’s mag which can frequently hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the pistol design. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the mag till the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When bringing a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or main gun, additional mags are recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra mags allows you to join in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not allowed to be used during indoor shooting. This is a safety guideline due to the close range proximity of players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas typically functions effectively, it does have issues. When they are used throughout the winter season in the snow or in colder temps (like under 32 deg F). Given that the green gas or propane is held in the weapon’s magazine by silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, low temperatures can negatively impact the seals and cause the gas to escape before shooting. The depressurized gas can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would ordinarily shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One option to this issue is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by placing them next to your body before the airsoft game play. If you absolutely desire to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite pistol.
About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong coil springs that launch the BBs out of the pistol barrel. The manual action of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols.
Spring handguns work most effectively in springer wars where opponents can exclusively use related, single shot spring weapons or as an alternative weapon for CQB settings when you can frequently surprise other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a rapid 2nd follow-up shot will not be really needed since the other player is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. When engaging a number of foes because the gun just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring pistols are really useful under the proper scenarios and airsoft games. Their FPS typically chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These pistols typically fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft weapons. Spring pistols can generally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but precision reduces quickly. Using basic 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a decreased range of about 60 to 80 feet or less with increased accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to use as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They work similar to an AEG gun and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG handgun mags normally can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has risen considerably in the last few years. The early gens were a little bit sketchy and unreliable, but the latest designs have the problems worked out and make reliable airsoft backup guns. They can be further modded with maximized magazine capacities along with accommodating larger batteries.
A big advantage of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG handgun design, you can gain a large output in efficiency by taking advantage of a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the stock battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, evaluate a GBB handgun or automatic electric handgun. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to buy a gun, review a CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB handgun. If your gun budget is lower, you can still choose a durable airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with players on the used airsoft gun market.
