Info About Airsoft Pistol Styles
Learn more about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the right handgun and practicing with it can make all the difference in nailing your shots. Sidearms, by nature, are short range airsoft weapons. They are quite often constructed after genuine pistols or replicas of authentic handguns. Quite a few airsoft sidearms are completely certified editions of their real world firearm counterparts. These airsoft guns can function (except for shooting bullets) in the same ways and visually look almost identically to the real guns they are modeled around while shooting airsoft BBs as opposed to real-world bullets.
There are several kinds of airsoft pistols including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these kinds of handguns come with benefits and differences related to them. Finding out about the kinds of airsoft pistols allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most tough and standard types of pistols. They are all-season, all-weather pistols working well in many kinds of varying temperatures, weather and climates. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is generally housed in the handgun’s handle.
These forms of airsoft weapons are good choices for airsoft games in cooler weather conditions because the pressurized CO2 gas is less susceptible to performance decreases caused by low temperatures. This provides good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for example where other types of airsoft guns like green gas stop functioning or hardly fire BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny steel cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas consisting of just one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, and so the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cylinders under really high pressure of about ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
The CO2 cartridge cylinders are not reusable and you can typically buy them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas securely within, but soon after they are punctured (shooting them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are not used up. You must try to consume the whole CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the pistol stops shooting.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They are made with the manufacturer’s expiration date normally printed on the box or cylinder, however they will probably last for a very long period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handgun Info
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 pistols, but they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the same as CO2 handguns with the guns at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stored in the handgun’s airsoft magazine which can normally hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the pistol design. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the magazine up until the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a main or secondary gun, additional magazines are suggested for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional mags on-hand helps you reengage in the action during firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not approved to be used for indoor shooting. This is an essential safety rule because of the close range proximity of gamers during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a decreased level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different varieties of green gas airsoft handguns. To begin with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols run like an actual pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” with every shot. The gas causes the slide to cycle every time when a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. The result is extremely cool, but the GBB weapons typically cost more and potentially have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns have a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback handguns generally cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same when comparing the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane gas is kept in the pistol mag using rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, cold temps can affect these seals and cause the gas to escape before shooting the gun. This can make the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a number of feet (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the GBB handgun would usually shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One solution to this issue is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by holding them next to your body or near a heat source prior to the airsoft game play. If you absolutely want to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by strong coil springs that fire the airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel. They are usually able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual actions of reloading, cocking, and shooting spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When shooting at adversaries on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry, auto airsoft AEG SMGs, rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols, this makes spring guns enjoyable to use, but less efficient.
Spring airsoft guns work best in springer battles where participants can solely use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters combat backup gun for CQB buildings when you can frequently surprise other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid second followup shot isn’t needed because the other player is now hit by the first BB and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. Take care when fighting multiple foes given that the spring gun only shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring handguns are remarkably reliable under the best game conditions. Spring guns can normally shoot accurately up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs however precision reduces quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to bring into the field as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They operate similar to an AEG gun and use forced air with electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines normally hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has grown significantly over the last few years. The initial generations were a little bit unreliable and sketchy, but the new models have the problems worked out and make effective airsoft backup guns. They can be further upgraded with enhanced mag capacities as well as accommodating larger batteries.
A big advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the battery connectors to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can gain a substantial increase in performance by employing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Buy?
Looking for 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 hope to play. Consider a GBB handgun or automatic electric AEP pistol if you have more than one-hundred dollars to invest on your airsoft handgun. These kinds of handguns are usually the top-tier guns, have good efficiency, and can be an excellent gun to get. If you can afford about more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to spend, have a look at a CO2 pistol or a less expensive green gas pistol. Mid-tier guns like these will still get the job done and will be pretty tough sidearms. Look for a cheap CO2 or spring pistol if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still get a strong airsoft pistol to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
