Info About the Designs of Airsoft Handguns
Find information about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft handguns are fully manufactured and licensed variations of their authentic handgun equivalents and look and operate in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of authentic bullets.
There are a few varieties of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these forms of pistols come with negatives and positives related to them. Learning about the types of airsoft sidearms lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most common and heavy duty types of pistols. They are all-weather handguns and operate well in lots of types of weather, extreme temperatures, and climates. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is normally stored in the pistol’s magazine inside the handle.
These types of airsoft handguns are good for playing airsoft in cold temperatures considering that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to performance variations with low temperatures. This fact offers good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other kinds of airsoft sidearms like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly shoot pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a chrome cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas made up of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cylinders cannot be refilled and you can commonly order them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, once they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not used up. You should attempt to consume the entire 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 handgun accuracy and target practice and consume the rest of the surplus gas. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the pistol stops firing BBs.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are kept sealed. They have a maker’s expiry date normally marked on the box or cartridge, but they will likely stay pressurized for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is almost the very same as CO2 pistols with the guns around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the handgun’s magazine which can often hold roughly 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending upon the gun design. A set of valves, silicone stoppers, and seals keep the propane housed in the pistol magazine until the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a good habit to top off and refill the propane reserves in the mag each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding gamers can additionally take excess bottles of green gas in the field for reloading mags in-between lulls in the battle or between activities.
When carrying a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or primary weapon, additional handgun mags are highly 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 sweeping 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 normally not allowed to be used for indoor gameplay. This is a safety guideline because of the close range proximity of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various styles of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns operate like a realistic pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. The gas causes the slide to cycle every time when a new airsoft BB is chambered. This effect is extremely cool, but the weapons usually cost more and potentially have more parts which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback weapons generally cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Since the green gas or propane is kept in the pistol mag by using rubber seals and gaskets, cold weather can influence these gaskets and cause the gas to escape prior to shooting the pistol. This lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the handgun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One solution to this problem is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by putting them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket before game play starts. If you absolutely desire to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that send the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual functions of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns.
Spring airsoft guns work best in springer battles where participants can only use similar, single shot spring weapons or as an alternative backup weapon for CQB environments when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a rapid 2nd follow-up shot isn’t really needed considering that the other opponent is now struck and out of the game or moving back to respawn. Be careful when attacking multiple opponents because the springer only fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring pistols are remarkably reliable under the correct scenarios and airsoft games. Spring guns can typically shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to hit targets decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Information
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to use as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They function similar to an AEG rifle and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun mags normally can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually increased considerably recently. The first gen AEP guns were a little bit unreliable and sketchy, however the new versions have the problems worked out and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modified with maximized magazine storage capacities in addition to accommodating larger batteries.
A large benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the opportunity to rewire the wires to use a more substantial battery. Depending upon the AEG pistol type, you may be able to get a sizable leap in functionality utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) in place of the standard AEP battery. Take extra precautions when tweaking the elements and wires since you need to take into account the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. If you have modding concerns, ask a qualified professional weapon service tech at your nearest airsoft store.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Play with?
Looking for the best airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you can afford to spend, how often you intend to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. If you can afford over one-hundred dollars to invest in your airsoft pistol, look into a green gas blowback pistol or AEG pistol. These guns are typically the top of the line, have good build qualities, and are usually an excellent pistol to purchase. If you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to devote to your airsoft gun purchase, look at a CO2 pistol or less expensive green gas blowback handgun. These will still be fun to play with and are pretty durable sidearms. Look for a cheaper CO2 or spring pistol if you have $50 or less. You can still buy a well-built airsoft pistol to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
