Airsoft Pistol Variety Additional Info
Find info about airsoft sidearms and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the right pistol and practicing with it can make a big difference in blasting your shots. Pistols, by nature, are lower range airsoft guns. They are commonly manufactured after real sidearms or look-alikes of actual pistols. Many airsoft sidearms are fully licensed versions of their real firearm equivalents. These airsoft guns can look and function (except for shooting bullets) in the same ways identically to the real guns they are modeled around while shooting airsoft BBs in place of real-world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these styles of sidearms come with positives and negatives related to them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft handguns allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearm Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most sturdy and typical kinds of handguns. They are all weather handguns and function well in a lot of kinds of weather, varying temperatures, and environments. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is usually housed in the handgun’s magazine in the handle.
These kinds of airsoft guns are great choices for airsoft games in cold and snowy weather conditions due to the fact that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance decreases with low temperatures. This fact gives CO2 airsoft pistols great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other kinds of airsoft pistols like green gas cease to function or hardly shoot BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, and so the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under really high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but soon after they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) they will start 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 remaining gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if the cylinders are stored sealed. They do have a maker’s best used by date typically listed on the box or cartridge cylinder, however, they will maintain pressure for an extended time past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistol Facts
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. The result on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is almost the very same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s magazine and can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending upon the pistol design. A sequence of valves, rubberized stoppers, and seals keep the propane sealed in the magazine prior to when the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good plan to top off and fill up the propane reserves in your pistol mag each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding gamers can even bring additional bottles of propane in the field for reloading between breaks in the battle or in-between games.
When carrying a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or primary weapon, bringing extra handgun magazines is highly recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra magazines allows you to join in the action during firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields because long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not approved to be used for indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety guideline due to the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a decreased level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different types of green gas airsoft pistols. To begin with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns run like a realistic pistol with the slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane gas causes the slide to cycle when a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This cycling is really cool, but the guns typically cost more and possibly have more parts which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback weapons commonly cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two kinds of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane gas is housed in the pistol magazine by rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, cold temperatures can influence these seals and cause the stored gas to leak out prior to shooting the handgun. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the GBB handgun would normally shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One strategy to this problem is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by holding them next to your body or near a heat source just before the airsoft game play. If you really want to play with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that fire the BBs down the pistol barrel. They are generally one shot. The manual actions of cocking, firing, and reloading spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When taking on other airsoft players on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons, fully auto airsoft AEG rifles and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns, this can make spring airsoft pistols entertaining to use, but less efficient.
Spring handguns work best in springer battles where airsoft players can just use related, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters backup weapon for CQB environments when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid 2nd follow-up shot is not called for because the other person is already struck and out of the game or running back to respawn. When engaging a number of opponents because the spring airsoft gun just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring guns are very effective under the most ideal conditions during games. Their FPS usually chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These handguns generally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs since the pitched springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring pistols can typically shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets accurately reduces rapidly. Choosing regular 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a decreased range of around 60 to 80 feet with heightened precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to use as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They work similar to an AEG rifle and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines typically 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 Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually grown considerably in recent years. The first gen guns were a little bit questionable and undependable, however the more recent versions have most of the issues worked out and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be modified with increased mag capacities together with accommodating bigger batteries.
A large advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capacity to rewire the connections to use a more robust battery with higher mAh. Depending on the AEG pistol version, you may be able to get a big boost in performance and fire rate using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as opposed to the standard AEP battery. Beware of changing the parts and the gun’s wires since you must take into consideration the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. Ask a pro airsoft gun technician at your closest airsoft shop or store if you have modding questions.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Buy?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft pistol, evaluate a GBB pistol or AEG handgun. If you have around $50 to $100 to upgrade your gun, review a CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB pistol. If you have fifty dollars or less, you can still get a long lasting airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
