Info About the Styles of Airsoft Handguns
Find information 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 pistols are fully approved and licensed variations of their genuine weapon equivalents and look and run in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of real bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these styles of sidearms have benefits and differences connected with them. Learning about the styles of airsoft sidearms allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most long-lasting and standard types of handguns. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to move airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These types of airsoft handguns are excellent for playing in cold weather since the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to performance variations by temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft guns excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other types of airsoft pistols like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire airsoft BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a chrome metal cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, and so the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridges under extremely high pressure of around ~ 800psi that converts to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however the moment they are opened (firing them in an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They come with a supplier’s use by date typically marked on the box or cartridge, however, they will likely stay pressurized for a long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols resemble CO2 guns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane for propellant to fire 6mm airsoft BBs. The outcome on airsoft games and green gas pistol efficiency is basically the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to about 300+ FPS. Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and accurate at short to mid-range ranges.
The propane is held in the handgun’s magazine which can commonly hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the mag up until the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When bringing a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a main or secondary gun, bringing extra mags is highly recommended for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra magazines helps you re-engage in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields considering that long guns and full-sized AEGs are generally not authorized to be used for indoor game play. This is a safety standard because of the close range distance of players during the 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 aids to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB at a lower level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. To begin with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns operate like a realistic pistol with the slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. Each time a fresh airsoft BB is chambered, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. The result is extremely cool, but the GBB pistols typically cost more and possibly have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback weapons typically cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two types of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Since the green gas or propane is housed in the handgun mag using rubber seals and gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively affect these o-rings and allow the stored gas to leak out before shooting. This can cause the airsoft BBs to merely land a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the handgun would usually shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One fix for this issue is to try to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by putting them near your body prior to game play. This can help to warm up the rubber seals and help to seal in the green gas. It may also be worth buying a CO2 version of your favorite handgun if you actually prefer to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun shoots much better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Information
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that fire the BBs out of the gun’s barrel. The manual functions of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB guns.
Spring pistols perform best in springer battles where opponents can solely use comparable, single shot spring weapons or as a transitional backup gun for CQB settings when you can often surprise other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast second followup shot isn’t really needed given that the other player is now struck and out of the gameplay or headed back to respawn. When engaging numerous rivals given that the spring airsoft gun only shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring pistols are extremely useful under the appropriate circumstances. Spring pistols can normally fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but target accuracy reduces quickly.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring into the field 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 operate much like an AEG gun and use pressured air with electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines usually store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs right up to about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends if you have enough spare magazines to reload and the battery maintains its charge that long. These pistols can precisely fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually grown substantially in the last few years. The early gen AEP guns were a little bit unreliable and questionable, however the newer versions have most of the deficiencies resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be further upgraded with increased mag storage capacities along with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A large advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the connections to use an enhanced capacity battery. Depending on the AEG handgun version, you may be able to get a large leap in efficiency using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the standard AEP battery. Take care of tweaking the parts and the gun’s wires because you should take into consideration the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. Ask an expert weapon specialist at your nearest airsoft store if you have customization inquiries.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft pistol, you may want to consider a green gas blowback pistol or AEG handgun. If you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to buy a gun, check out a CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB pistol. You can still find a long lasting airsoft pistol by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with other players in the used airsoft gun market if you are looking for a deal.
