Info About the Designs of Airsoft Pistols
Learn about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as extra weapons or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft handguns are fully certified replications of their authentic firearm equivalents and operate and look in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than real bullets.
There are a few types of airsoft handguns such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these types of handguns have negatives and positives associated with them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft handguns lets you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most tough and typical types of handguns. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These forms of airsoft pistols are good choices for playing in cold temperatures given that the high pressure CO2 gas is less susceptible to FPS decreases with temperature. This fact provides excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other styles of airsoft guns like green gas stop working or hardly shoot BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a chrome cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cartridge cylinders cannot be refilled and you can usually order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, once they are punctured (firing them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You must try to use up the whole CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional 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 up until the weapon stops shooting BBs.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if the cylinders are stored sealed. They have the supplier’s expiration date typically listed on the package or cartridge, but they may last for a prolonged period past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft pellets. The outcome on gameplay and green gas weapon effectiveness is practically the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can accurately hit targets at short to mid-range ranges.
The propane is stored in the handgun’s airsoft mag which can commonly hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the mag till the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When using a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a secondary or main gun, extra pistol mags are suggested for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional magazines allows you to join in the action throughout firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles and full-sized AEGs are usually not approved to be used for indoor shooting. This is a safety rule because of the close quarters distance of players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a decreased level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different sorts of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas normally functions very well, it does have drawbacks. When green gas and GBB guns are used throughout the winter in the snow or in cold weather (such as under 32 degrees F). Since the green gas or propane gas is held in the pistol mag using silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, the cold can impact these seals and make the stored gas to escape prior to firing the pistol. The depressurized gas can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot several feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would typically shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One option to fix this issue is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by placing them near your body before airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the rubber seals and help to seal in the green gas. It may also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun if you actually prefer to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun will shoot better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs that propel the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual actions of firing, cocking, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring pistols work best in springer battles where opponents can just use related, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters combat weapon for CQB environments when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast second follow-up shot isn’t required since the other opponent is now hit by the first shot and out of the game play or running back to respawn. When engaging numerous enemies because the spring gun only shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring handguns are incredibly reliable under the correct scenarios and airsoft games. Spring handguns can often shoot up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs however precision reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to carry as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s handle. They function much like an AEG gun and use forced air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines generally can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually increased considerably recently. The first gens were a bit unreliable and questionable, but the more recent models have most of the issues worked out and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modified with maximized magazine capacities and also accommodating larger batteries.
A big perk of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the opportunity to rewire the battery connectors to use an increased capacity battery. Depending upon the AEG pistol design, you are able to gain a big jump in performance utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock mini battery. Take care of changing the elements and the gun’s wires because you must consider the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. If you have modding questions, ask a qualified gun technician at your nearest airsoft shop or store.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
Picking out the best airsoft sidearm for you depends on your budget, how much you desire to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. If you can use at least $100 to spend on your airsoft handgun, take a look at a green gas pistol or AEP handgun. These are usually the best of the best, have the best efficiency, and can be a pretty good handgun to purchase. If you can afford around more than $50 but less than $100 to spend, have a look at a CO2 pistol or a less expensive GBB handgun. Middle of the road guns like these will still work well and are tough sidearms. Look for a cheaper CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than $50. You can still get a well-built airsoft handgun to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
