Airsoft Handgun Design Information
Learn more about airsoft pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal pistol and practicing with it can be a game changer in the accuracy of your shots. Pistols, by nature, are much shorter range airsoft weapons. They are most often crafted after authentic guns or look-alikes of real handguns. Many different airsoft sidearms are fully certified models of their real-world gun counterparts. These airsoft guns can appear and function (except for shooting bullets) in the same ways identically to the real guns they are designed around while firing airsoft BBs rather than real-world bullets.
There are a few varieties of airsoft pistols including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these kinds of pistols come with negatives and positives connected with them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft handguns helps you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most long lasting and typical types of handguns. These pistols use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to force airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These kinds of airsoft handguns are good for playing in cold and snowy temperatures due to the fact that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance variations by low temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft pistols excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other styles of handguns like green gas stop operating or barely fire pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a chrome metal cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas made up of one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, thus the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under really high pressure of about ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
The CO2 cylinders are not reusable and you can normally purchase them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, but the moment they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You must try to burn up the whole CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some pistol 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 gauge on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the gun stops shooting airsoft BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have a maker’s expiry date typically listed on the package or cartridge cylinder, however, they can survive for an extended time past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, however they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the very same as CO2 pistols with the weapons at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stored in the handgun’s airsoft mag that can frequently hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the handgun type. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the magazine till the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup weapon, bringing additional pistol mags is suggested for quickly reloading. Having extra magazines helps you get back in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are typically not allowed to be used during indoor game play. This is an essential safety standard because of the close range proximity of gamers during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different varieties 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 pistols use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is kept in the magazine by using rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively affect these gaskets and cause the gas to escape prior to shooting the gun. This lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a number of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the GBB handgun would typically shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One strategy to this problem is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by holding them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket before the airsoft game play starts. If you really want to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun.
Details About Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that propel the BBs down the gun barrel. They are typically one shot only. The manual functions of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring handguns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. When confronting other airsoft players on the airsoft field with fully auto airsoft AEG SMGs, assault rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns, this can make spring guns fun to use, however less effective.
Spring guns work most effectively in springer battles where opponents can solely use comparable, single shot spring weapons or as a transition backup weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can often sneak up to other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick 2nd followup shot isn’t really needed because the other opponent is already hit by the first shot and out of the game or moving back to respawn. When engaging multiple players considering that the weapon only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring guns are quite reliable under the correct situations. Spring handguns can generally fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to engage targets reduces quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to bring into the field as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They function just like an AEG gun and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun magazines normally hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends if you have enough magazines to reload the gun and the battery maintains its charge that long. These AEP pistols can accurately shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has grown significantly over the last few years. The earliest gens were a little bit sketchy and unreliable, but the newer designs have most of the problems worked out and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be modded with increased magazine capacities as well as accommodating bigger batteries.
A huge perk of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the opportunity to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger battery with longer life. Depending on the AEG handgun design, you may be able to get a substantial leap in performance utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the standard AEP battery. Beware of changing the elements and wires because you have to take into consideration the voltages, mAh, and loads of the batteries. Ask an expert airsoft gun specialist at your closest airsoft store if you have modding issues.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Buy?
Looking for the most ideal airsoft handgun for you depends on how much you can afford to spend, how often you desire to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. If you have more than one-hundred dollars to invest in your airsoft pistol, look into a green gas blowback handgun or AEG pistol. These guns are usually the top-tier guns, have the best efficiency, and could be a pretty good investment. If you have about $50 to $100 to devote to your airsoft gun purchase, look at a CO2 pistol or a more affordable green gas blowback handgun. Middle of the road guns like these will still finish the job and will be pretty tough sidearms. Look for a cheaper CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still find a well-built airsoft pistol to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
