Information About Airsoft Pistol Styles
Find information about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as extra weapons or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft pistols are fully manufactured variations of their actual handgun equivalents and function and appear in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are several types of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these varieties of pistols have benefits and differences associated with them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft sidearms allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most dependable and typical kinds of handguns. They are all weather pistols and operate well in a lot of types of weather, extreme temperatures, and environments. These sidearms use pressurized CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is generally located in the pistol’s magazine inside the handle.
These forms of airsoft guns are very good for playing in cold weather given that the pressurized CO2 gas is less prone to FPS decreases caused by low temperatures. This offers exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other sorts of guns like green gas stop performing or barely shoot BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny steel cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas consisting of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, subsequently the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under very high pressure of about ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cartridges cannot be refilled and you can typically order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely within, once they are punctured (shooting them in an airsoft handgun breaks the seal) the cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not expended. You should try to use up the whole CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas if the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level sign on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the handgun stops cycling.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They do have a maker’s best used by date usually noted on the package or cartridge, but they can maintain pressure for an extended time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft sidearms are similar to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft pellets. The impact on gameplay and green gas handgun functionality is just about the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or automatic firing modes and can accurately hit targets at shorter to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is stored in the handgun’s magazine and can commonly hold around 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the pistol style. A bunch of valves, rubber stoppers, and seals keep the green gas housed in the pistol magazine till the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great habit to top off and fill up the propane supply in the pistol mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding gamers can additionally carry excess bottles of propane gas in the field for reloading mags in-between lulls in the battle or in-between game play.
When carrying a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or primary weapon, additional mags are strongly recommended 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 structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields given that long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not allowed to be used for indoor shooting. This is a safety standard because of the close quarters proximity of gamers during the shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB lower compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other 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 and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Because the green gas or propane gas is housed in the pistol magazine by using rubber o-rings, seals, and silicone gaskets, cold weather can influence these gaskets and allow the gas to leak out prior to shooting. This lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a few feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would normally shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One option to this issue is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by putting them next to your body before the airsoft game play. If you absolutely desire to play with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Information
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong coil springs that propel the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual functioning of reloading, cocking, and shooting spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols.
Spring guns perform best in springer wars where players can solely use similar, single shot spring weapons or as a transition backup weapon for CQB settings when you can frequently surprise other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid 2nd follow-up shot isn’t required due to the fact that the other player is already hit by the first BB and out of the gameplay or going back to respawn. When engaging many different foes since the spring airsoft gun just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring pistols are incredibly efficient under the appropriate conditions during airsoft games. Their FPS generally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons usually fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the pitched springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring guns can generally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to engage targets accurately reduces rapidly. Shooting normal 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a decreased range of about 60 to 80 feet with increased precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to use as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They operate similar to an AEG gun and use forced air with electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG handgun magazines normally can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs as high as about 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough magazines to maintain the ammo supply and the battery maintains its charge that long. These pistols can precisely fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually grown considerably recently. The earliest generation AEP guns were a little bit sketchy and undependable, however the latest models have most of the deficiencies resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be upgraded with increased magazine storage capacities and also accommodating more powerful batteries.
A large advantage of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the adapters to use a larger battery with longer life. Depending upon the AEG pistol type, you are able to gain a substantial boost in performance using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the standard battery. Beware of modifying the elements and wires since you must take into account the volts, mAh, and loads of the battery. If you have modding questions, ask a qualified professional weapon tech at your local airsoft store.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Play with?
Finding the most ideal airsoft handgun for you depends upon how much you can afford, how much you would like to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. Look into a green gas blowback handgun or AEP pistol if you have $100 or more to spend on your airsoft pistol. These guns are usually the best of the best, have the most effective performance, and are usually a great investment. If you can afford in-between more than $50 but less than $100 to spend on upgrading your airsoft arsenal, check out a CO2 handgun or less expensive green gas handgun. These will still be fun to play with and will be pretty tough sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still get a resilient airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
