About Airsoft Pistol Styles
Find information about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft pistols are fully approved and licensed variations of their actual firearm equivalents and function and appear in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a number of kinds of airsoft pistols such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these styles of handguns come with positives and negatives related to them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft sidearms lets you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most typical and heavy duty types of sidearms. These pistols use CO2 stored in small cylinders to push airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These kinds of airsoft handguns are good for playing in cooler temperatures since the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to FPS decreases with temperature levels. This fact provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for example where other kinds of airsoft guns like green gas stop performing or hardly fire pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny steel cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas made up of 1 carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, as a result the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridges under extremely high pressure of about ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
The CO2 cartridges cannot be used multiple times and you can typically buy them in packs 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 opened (firing them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not expended. You should 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 excess gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indicator on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the pistol stops firing airsoft BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They do have a supplier’s expiration date usually noted on the package or cartridge cylinder, but they will likely maintain pressure for a long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 guns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel 6mm airsoft pellets. The outcome on game play and green gas handgun effectiveness is just about the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and can hit targets at short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is stored in the handgun’s grip within the magazine and can often hold between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the handgun design. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the propane stored in the pistol mag till the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good plan to top off and refill your green gas supply in your magazine each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding players can additionally bring extra bottles of green gas in the field for reloading magazines between lulls in the fight or in-between activities.
When carrying a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or secondary weapon, bringing extra mags is strongly recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra magazines on-hand allows you to get back 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 optimal for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are usually not permitted to be used during indoor game play. This is an essential safety guideline because of the close range proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas usually can be used extremely well, it does have limitations. When green gas and GBB guns are used during the winter in the snow or in cold temps (such as under 32 degrees F). Considering that the green gas or propane gas is kept in the magazine using silicone seals and gaskets, low temperatures can negatively impact these seals and make the gas to escape before shooting airsoft BBs. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot several feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would ordinarily shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather).
One fix for this issue is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by holding them next to a heat source or by your body before game play. This can help to heat up the seals and valves and help to seal in the green gas. If you really desire to have fun with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold, it can also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun shoots better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Info
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful coil springs that shoot the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual functioning of reloading, firing, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB guns.
Spring handguns perform the best in springer wars where participants can just use related, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters backup gun for CQB environments when you can often sneak up to other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast 2nd followup shot is not needed due to the fact that the other person is now hit and out of the game or headed back to respawn. Be careful when attacking a number of airsoft players because the spring gun just shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring handguns are incredibly useful under the appropriate game conditions. Spring pistols can commonly fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs but the ability to engage targets decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to use as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They function similar to an AEG gun and use forced air with electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines generally can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs approximately about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends if you have enough spare mags to maintain the ammo supply and the battery maintains its charge that long. These AEP pistols can precisely fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has grown considerably in the last few years. The initial generations were a bit questionable and unreliable, however the more recent versions have most of the deficiencies worked out and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be upgraded with enhanced magazine capacities and also accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the battery connections to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can gain a sizable output in efficiency by taking advantage of a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the stock mini battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Buy?
Picking out the ideal airsoft pistol for you depends upon how much you want to spend, how much you desire to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. If you have over $100 to invest in your airsoft pistol, check out a green gas blowback handgun or AEG pistol. These are normally the best of the best, have great efficiency, and can be a good gun to get. If you can afford around more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to spend, look into a CO2 handgun or a second-tier GBB handgun. Middle of the road guns like these will still work well and will be sturdy sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than $50. You can still get a heavy-duty airsoft pistol to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
