Airsoft Handgun Variety Additional Info
Find information about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. A large number of airsoft handguns are fully manufactured and licensed versions of their authentic gun equivalents and run and look in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of authentic bullets.
There are a few kinds of airsoft pistols including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these styles of handguns have benefits and differences related to them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft handguns lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft handguns are among the most typical and sturdy varieties of handguns. They are all-season, all-weather handguns and work well in a lot of types of weather conditions and environments. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge is normally housed in the handgun’s magazine in the handle.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are good for playing airsoft in cold temperatures since the compressed CO2 gas is less sensitive to FPS decreases by low temperatures. This provides excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other types of pistols like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas composed of a single carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can commonly order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas securely inside, once they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You must attempt 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 additional gas if the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the gun stops shooting airsoft BBs.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They have a manufacturer’s best used by date normally printed on the package or cartridge cylinder, however they will maintain pressure for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft sidearms resemble CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane for propellant to propel the airsoft BBs. The result on the airsoft battlefield and green gas handgun operation is essentially the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet per second. Shots are efficiently fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and accurate at very short to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is kept in the handgun’s magazine and can frequently hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending upon the gun style. A sequence of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the propane gas housed in the magazine until the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a good habit to top off and refill your green gas in your magazine each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding gamers can even bring excess bottles of propane in the field for refilling magazines in-between breaks in the war or in-between game play.
When using a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a secondary or primary gun, bringing additional handgun magazines is suggested for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional magazines 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 combat.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not allowed to be used during indoor gameplay. This is a safety rule due to the close range distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various forms of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns function like a real pistol with the gun’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. The gas causes the slide to cycle every time when a fresh airsoft BB is chambered. This cycling is extremely cool, but the guns typically cost more and possibly have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns typically cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same between the two kinds of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas generally works effectively on the airsoft field, it does have restrictions. For example, when they are played with during the winter season in the snow or in very cold temperatures (like under 32 deg F). Since the green gas or propane is kept in the weapon’s magazine by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can impact these seals and make the gas to leak out before shooting. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot several feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would usually shoot BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer temps).
One strategy to this issue is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by putting them next to your body before game play. If you truly want to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it may also be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite handgun.
About Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that launch the BBs out of the handgun’s barrel. The manual action of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring guns perform most effectively in springer battles where opponents can just use comparable, single shot spring handguns or as an alternative backup weapon for CQB environments when you can usually surprise other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a rapid second follow-up shot will not be needed since the other player is now struck and out of the gameplay or going back to respawn. Take care when engaging several enemies considering the spring airsoft gun just fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring handguns are extremely reliable under the proper scenarios. Spring guns like pistols can generally shoot up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs but precision reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They work similar to an AEG gun and use pressurized air with electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines normally can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has grown considerably over the last few years. The first generation AEP guns were a little bit sketchy and undependable, but the new designs have the bugs worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be further modified with enhanced magazine storage capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A substantial advantage of buying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connectors to use an enhanced capacity battery. Depending on the AEG handgun design, you may be able to gain a large output in performance by utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative to the stock AEP battery. Be careful when modifying the parts and the gun’s wires since you should think about the volts, mAh, and loads of the battery. If you have customization questions, ask a pro airsoft gun specialist at your nearest airsoft shop or store.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Buy?
Finding the best airsoft handgun for you depends on how much you want to spend, how much you desire to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. Take a look at a GBB handgun or AEP pistol if you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun. These are normally the top-tier guns, have the most effective build qualities, and could be an excellent airsoft gun to invest in. Look into a CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB handgun if you have about $50 to $100 to invest. Middle of the road guns like these will still get the job done and will be long lasting sidearms. Look for a cheap CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still get a long-lasting airsoft handgun to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
