Airsoft Handgun Type Additional Information
Learn more about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the ideal pistol can make a big difference in improving your shots. Pistols, naturally, are diminished range airsoft guns. They are commonly developed after actual sidearms or look-alikes of genuine handguns. A lot of airsoft sidearms are fully licensed variations of their actual weapon equivalents. These airsoft guns can operate in the same ways and visually look similarly to the real guns they are modeled around while firing airsoft BBs as opposed to authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns 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 negatives and positives related to them. Finding out about the kinds of airsoft pistols allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most long-lasting and common kinds of handguns. They are all season weapons and operate well in a lot of types of extreme temperatures, weather and environments. These sidearms use high pressure CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs down the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is generally stored in the handgun’s magazine.
These kinds of airsoft handguns are excellent for airsoft games in cold weather since the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to variation caused by temperature. This offers exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for instance where other types of airsoft pistols like green gas stop operating or hardly fire pellets.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a shiny metallic cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas comprised of one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however as soon as they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft handgun 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 opportunity 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 while. They are made with a supplier’s best used by date usually printed on the package or cartridge, however they will likely stay pressurized for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistol Information
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. The result on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the very same as CO2 handguns with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the handgun’s grip within the magazine which can commonly hold in-between 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs based on the gun design. A set of valves, rubberized stoppers, and o-rings keep the gas sealed in the mag up to the point the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good habit to top off and refill your green gas in your mag each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can even bring surplus bottles of green gas or propane in the field for reloading between lulls in the fight or in-between gameplay.
When using a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a backup or primary gun, bringing extra mags is strongly recommended for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra magazines allows you to join in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not permitted to be used for indoor game play. This is an essential safety guideline due to the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various styles of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns function like a real handgun with the gun’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane triggers the slide to cycle when a fresh airsoft BB is chambered. This functioning while shooting is really cool, however the pistols usually cost more and likely have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback handguns commonly cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two types of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Because the green gas or propane gas is stored in the magazine using rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, the cold can negatively affect these seals and allow the gas to leak out before shooting. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the GBB handgun would usually shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One solution to this issue is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by holding them inside your jacket next to your body just before the game play. This can help to warm the seals and valves and help to seal in the green gas. If you definitely prefer to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold, it can also be worth buying a CO2 version of your preferred handgun. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun will shoot better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Info on Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that propel the BBs out of the pistol barrel. The manual functioning of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB guns.
Spring airsoft guns perform most effectively in springer wars where airsoft players can exclusively use comparable, single shot spring weapons or as a transitional weapon for CQB environments when you can often surprise other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast 2nd follow-up shot will not be needed considering that the other opponent is already hit by the first BB and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. When engaging numerous players given that the springer just shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring guns are very useful under the most ideal conditions during airsoft games. Spring guns can typically shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Facts
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to bring into the field as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They work much like an AEG rifle and use forced air with electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags typically can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually risen significantly in the last few years. The initial generations were a bit sketchy and undependable, but the latest designs have the problems worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be upgraded with maximized mag capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A big benefit of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the adapters to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you may be able to gain a large leap in performance and fire rate using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the standard AEP battery. Be careful with modifying the elements and wires since you need to take into consideration the voltages, mAh, and loads of the batteries. Ask an expert weapon tech at your local airsoft store if you have customization questions.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Play with?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, you may want to consider a green gas blowback handgun or AEG handgun. If you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to invest, look at a good quality CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB handgun. You can still look for a long lasting airsoft handgun by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with other players in the used gun market if you are on a budget.
