Airsoft Handgun Variety Details
Find info about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the best sidearm can make an impact in the accuracy of your shots. Pistols, by nature, are shorter range airsoft weapons. They are most often designed after actual sidearms or replicas of legitimate pistols. A lot of airsoft sidearms are fully certified adaptations of their genuine pistol equivalents. These airsoft guns can appear and function (except for shooting bullets) in the same ways identically to the real guns they are designed after while firing airsoft BBs in place of real world bullets.
There are a number of types of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these styles of handguns have benefits and differences connected with them. Learning more about the kinds of airsoft handguns lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most tough and typical types of pistols. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These styles of airsoft pistols are very good for playing in cold and snowy weather given that the compressed CO2 gas is less prone to variation by temperature. This fact gives CO2 airsoft sidearms exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for example where other sorts of airsoft handguns like green gas stop operating or barely shoot BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas made up of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, consequently the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cylinders under really high pressure of near ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cartridge cylinders cannot be refilled and you can normally purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely within, but once they are punctured (shooting them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are not expended. You ought to try to deplete the whole CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some handgun accuracy and target practice and burn up the remaining additional gas. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the gun stops cycling.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are kept sealed. They have the maker’s expiration date typically marked on the package or cylinder, however they may maintain pressure for a prolonged period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistol Details
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 handguns, but they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is practically the same as CO2 handguns with the guns around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s airsoft mag which can typically hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the handgun type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the magazine before the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When using a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a secondary or main gun, bringing additional mags is suggested for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional mags helps you re engage in the action during firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not approved to be used during indoor shooting. This is a safety rule due to the close quarters distance of players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy shooting 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 two different sorts of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas normally works effectively, it does have drawbacks. This includes when they are used during the winter in the snow or in colder temperatures (like under 32 deg F). Because the green gas or propane gas is held in the mag using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can negatively affect the seals and make the gas to escape prior to shooting. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot several feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer temperatures).
One fix to this problem is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by placing them next to your body or by a heater prior to the airsoft game play starts. If you truly need to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 style of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong coil springs that launch the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual functioning of reloading, cocking, and firing spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring pistols work most effectively in springer wars where opponents can only use related, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters combat backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually surprise other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a rapid second followup shot isn’t needed given that the other person is now hit and out of the game or going back to respawn. Take care when attacking multiple foes given that the springer only fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring guns are very useful under the best game circumstances. Their FPS normally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These guns normally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs because the springs are less powerful than other kinds of airsoft guns. Spring guns can typically be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but precision diminishes rapidly. Using conventional 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet or less with improved accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to use as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They operate much like an AEG rifle and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun mags typically hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs as high as about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough magazines to reload the gun and the battery lasts that long. These AEP pistols can precisely shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually grown considerably recently. The initial gens were a bit sketchy and undependable, however the newer models have the bugs worked out and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be further modified with enhanced mag storage capacities in addition to accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the connectors to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun type, you can get a substantial increase in functionality by taking advantage of a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me?
Picking out the best airsoft handgun for you depends upon your budget, how much you intend to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. If you can afford more than $100 to invest in your airsoft handgun, look into a green gas blowback or GBB pistol or AEG handgun. These kinds of guns are usually the top of the line, have the best build qualities, and are usually a pretty good gun to get. If you can afford around fifty to one-hundred dollars to use for your gun, check out a CO2 pistol or a cheaper green gas handgun. These guns will still work well and are durable sidearms. If you have fifty dollars or less, find a cheaper CO2 or spring handgun. You can still get a strong airsoft pistol to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
