Info About the Kinds of Airsoft Pistols
Find information about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as extra guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft pistols are completely licensed replications of their genuine pistol counterparts and run and look in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these kinds of sidearms have benefits and differences related to them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft pistols helps you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are among the most standard and tough kinds of pistols. They are all season, all weather weapons and operate well in lots of kinds of weather, varying temperatures, and environments. These sidearms use pressurized CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge is normally kept in the handgun’s magazine.
These forms of airsoft guns are exceptional for airsoft games in colder weather considering that the high pressure CO2 gas is less sensitive to FPS decreases by temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft sidearms excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for example where other types of handguns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of just one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however when they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin 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 handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They have the manufacturer’s expiration date usually noted on the box or cartridge, but they will likely stay pressurized for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, however they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is practically the very same as CO2 pistols with the weapons at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stashed in the handgun’s mag which can commonly hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol style. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the magazine until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When carrying a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a backup or primary weapon, extra pistol mags are recommended for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra mags on-hand helps you re engage in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields because long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not approved to be used for indoor gameplay. This is a safety guideline because of the close range distance of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a decreased level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various kinds 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 handguns have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is held in the pistol mag by using rubber o-rings, seals, and silicone gaskets, the cold can negatively impact these o-rings and cause the stored gas to escape before shooting the pistol. This can make the airsoft BBs to just land a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would normally shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One solution to this challenge is to try to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by placing them close to your body just before the game play. This can help to warm the seals and better seal in the green gas. It might also be worth buying a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun if you actually prefer to play airsoft with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and perform far better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong coil springs that launch the BBs down the gun barrel. They are generally one shot. The manual functioning of cocking, firing, and reloading spring guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. When dealing with rivals on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles like automatic airsoft AEG SMGs, assault rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols, this makes spring airsoft guns fun to use, however less efficient.
Spring handguns perform the best in springer battles where players can solely use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a transition weapon for CQB buildings when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick 2nd followup shot will not be required considering that the other person is already hit by the first BB and out of the game or heading back to respawn. When engaging multiple opponents considering that the spring gun simply fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring handguns are really effective under the proper game conditions. Spring handguns can often fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Facts
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to bring as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They operate just like an AEG gun and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags generally can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has risen considerably over the last few years. The initial gen guns were a little bit unreliable and sketchy, but the new versions have the issues worked out and make effective airsoft secondary guns. They can be improved with increased magazine capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A huge benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the adapters to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can get a big jump in functionality by employing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Buy?
If you have $100 or more to use to buy your airsoft handgun, check out a green gas blowback handgun or AEG handgun. If you have around $50 to $100 to spend, review a good quality CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB pistol. You can still find a resilient airsoft pistol by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft guns if you are trying to save money.
