About the Designs of Airsoft Pistols
Learn more about airsoft handguns and pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal sidearm and practicing with it can be a game changer in aiming your shots. Pistols, naturally, are lower range airsoft weapons. They are often crafted after genuine pistols or miniatures of legitimate handguns. Quite a few airsoft pistols are fully certified editions of their genuine gun equivalents. These airsoft guns can look and feel and handle in the same ways almost identically to the real guns they are modeled after while firing airsoft BBs as opposed to authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these varieties of pistols come with negatives and positives related to them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft sidearms allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most standard and dependable types of handguns. These pistols use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to push airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These kinds of airsoft guns are exceptional for playing in cooler weather because the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to performance decreases by temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft handguns great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other varieties of pistols like green gas stop working or barely fire BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a shiny metallic cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas made up of 1 carbon atom and two oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 cylinders are not refillable and you can normally purchase them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely and securely within, but the moment they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You ought to try to run through the whole CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some pistol target practice and burn up the rest of the additional gas. There is no gas level indicator on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the pistol stops shooting.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They come with the manufacturer’s best used by date usually listed on the box or cartridge, but they will probably survive for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistol Information
Green gas airsoft sidearms function similarly to CO2 guns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft pellets. The impact on airsoft games and green gas pistol efficiency is virtually the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can accurately hit targets at shorter to mid-range ranges.
The propane is stored in the handgun’s airsoft magazine which can frequently hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the magazine up until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or main weapon, bringing extra handgun magazines is suggested for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra mags helps you get back in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not approved to be used for indoor engagements. This is an essential safety rule because of the close range distance 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 handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various types of green gas airsoft handguns. To start with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns function like an actual handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” with every shot. Every time a fresh airsoft BB is chambered, the gas causes the slide to cycle. This functionality is very cool, but the GBB handguns frequently cost more and potentially have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols usually cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is stored in the magazine using rubber seals and silicone gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively affect these o-rings and cause the gas to leak out prior to shooting the pistol. The lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just land a number of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the GBB handgun would typically shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One fix for this issue is to try to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by holding them next to a heater or by your body before game play. This can help to warm the rubber gaskets and help to seal in the green gas. If you really want to have fun with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be worth checking out a CO2 version of your favorite pistol. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun shoots much better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Info on Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong coil springs that fire the BBs out of the gun barrel. They are typically able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual action of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. This makes spring airsoft pistols interesting to use, but they are usually less practical when dueling opponents on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons, fully automatic airsoft AEG assault rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring guns perform the best in springer battles where airsoft players can only use similar, single shot spring weapons or as an alternative backup gun for CQB environments when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast second followup shot isn’t called for given that the other opponent is already hit by the first BB and out of the game play or going back to respawn. Be careful when attacking multiple enemies since the gun just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring pistols are really reliable under the most ideal circumstances. Spring guns like pistols can typically fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs but accuracy decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Details
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to carry as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They function much like an AEG gun and use pressurized air pumped through electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags generally carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually risen substantially in the last few years. The earliest generation AEP guns were a little bit questionable and undependable, but the more recent models have the bugs worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be further upgraded with increased magazine storage capacities together with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial advantage of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the opportunity to rewire the connections to use a larger battery with longer life. Depending on the AEG handgun type, you are able to gain a big output in performance using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) in place of the standard mini battery. Take care of modifying the parts and the gun’s wires because you must take into consideration the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. If you have customization questions, ask an experienced airsoft gun service tech at your local airsoft shop or store.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Buy?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, evaluate a green gas blowback handgun or AEG handgun. If you have around $50 to $100 to invest, review a good quality CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB handgun. You can still look for a long lasting airsoft pistol by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with other players in the used gun market if you are trying to save money.
