About Airsoft Handgun Kinds
Find information about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as extra weapons or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft handguns are completely manufactured and licensed models of their authentic weapon equivalents and look and operate in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a few kinds of airsoft handguns including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these forms of sidearms have negatives and positives related to them. Finding out about the types of airsoft pistols allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most resilient and common kinds of pistols. They are all-season, all-weather handguns working well in a lot of kinds of weather and environments. These sidearms use high pressure CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs down the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is usually located in the handgun’s magazine in the handle.
These forms of airsoft pistols are good for playing airsoft 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 excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other sorts of pistols like green gas stop functioning or hardly fire BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a shiny steel cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas composed of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, consequently the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridges under very high pressure of roughly ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, but soon after they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are stored sealed. They are made with a supplier’s use by date usually listed on the package or cartridge, however, they may survive for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistol Info
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, but they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is practically the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The green gas is housed in the pistol’s magazine and can typically hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol style. A sequence of valves, silicone stoppers, and o-rings keep the green gas stored in the magazine up until the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a good idea to top off and refill the propane supply in the mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can additionally take excess bottles of propane gas in the field for refilling magazines in-between lulls in the fight or between activities.
When running a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a secondary or main gun, extra magazines are encouraged for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional magazines on-hand allows you to reengage in the action during firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles and full-sized AEGs are typically not allowed to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety rule due to the close quarters proximity of gamers during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different types of green gas airsoft handguns. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns run like an actual pistol with the gun’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane induces the slide to cycle when a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This functionality is extremely cool, but the weapons often cost more and possibly have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols generally cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is held in the pistol mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temps can negatively influence these seals and cause the stored gas to escape before shooting the pistol. This can make the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a few feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One solution to this issue is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by placing them near your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to heat up the seals and help to seal in the green gas. It may also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your preferred pistol if you truly need to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and perform far better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful springs that launch the airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. They are normally able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual functions of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. When fighting against players on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles like fully automatic airsoft AEG rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols, this makes spring guns fun to use, but less efficient.
Spring airsoft guns perform most effectively in springer battles where airsoft players can just use comparable, single shot spring pistols or as a transition weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick second follow-up shot isn’t required due to the fact that the other opponent is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game play or moving back to respawn. When engaging numerous opponents since the spring gun simply shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring pistols are incredibly effective under the appropriate conditions. Spring pistols can commonly shoot up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs however accuracy decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring into the field as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They operate similar to an AEG SMG and use pressured air with electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun mags normally can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has increased substantially in recent years. The early generation guns were a bit questionable and unreliable, however the latest designs have the deficiencies worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be further upgraded with enhanced magazine storage capacities in addition to accommodating bigger batteries.
A big advantage of buying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the connectors to use a more substantial battery with higher mAh. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you may be able to get a substantial leap in functionality using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the standard mini battery. Beware of customizing the elements and wires since you have to consider the voltages, mAh, and loads of the battery. Ask a qualified weapon technician at your nearest airsoft shop if you have customization inquiries.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Buy?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft handgun, check out a GBB pistol or AEG pistol. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend, look at a CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB handgun. You can still look for a durable airsoft handgun by checking out lower end pistols and by shopping for used guns if you need to save money.
