Information on Airsoft Handgun Styles
Find information about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft pistols are fully accredited variations of their actual gun counterparts and look and run in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of authentic bullets.
There are a few varieties of airsoft sidearms consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these types of pistols come with negatives and positives related to them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft sidearms helps you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most resilient and standard types of pistols. They are all season guns and function well in many kinds of weather and environments. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is usually housed in the pistol’s handle.
These styles of airsoft pistols are excellent for playing airsoft in cold and snowy temperatures given that the high pressure CO2 gas is less vulnerable to performance variations by temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft handguns great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other styles of pistols like green gas cease to function or hardly shoot BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a chrome metal cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas composed of just one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, as a result the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under very high pressure of around ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cartridges are not reusable and you can typically purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely inside, once 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 use up the entire CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas leftover, use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the weapon stops shooting airsoft BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They have the maker’s expiry date normally listed on the box or cylinder, however, they will stay pressurized for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane for propellant to fire 6mm airsoft BBs. The result on airsoft games and green gas sidearm functionality is just about the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and accurate at very short to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is stashed in the handgun’s airsoft mag which can often hold between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the handgun type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas stored in the magazine up until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When running a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a backup or primary gun, additional mags are suggested for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra mags on-hand allows you to get back in the action during firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are generally not permitted to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety guideline because of the close quarters proximity of players during shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy propelling 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 various kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. First there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns function like a legitimate handgun with the gun’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane triggers the slide to cycle every time when a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This functionality is extremely cool, however the GBB weapons usually cost more and potentially have more parts which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback weapons commonly cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same between the two varieties of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas normally functions very well, it does have constraints. When they are used throughout the winter airsoft games in the snow or in colder temps (such as below 32 degrees F). Given that the green gas or propane gas is stored in the weapon’s magazine using rubber seals and gaskets, cold temperatures can impact the seals and cause the gas to leak out prior to shooting. This can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would typically shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One option to this problem is to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by holding them next to your body or near a heat source just before the airsoft game play starts. If you truly want to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong coil springs that fire the airsoft BBs down the gun barrel. They are normally one shot only. The manual functions of reloading, cocking, and shooting spring guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. This makes them entertaining to use, yet they can be less effective when confronting players on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry, automatic airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring sidearms work the best in springer battles where game players can solely use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a transition weapon for CQB buildings when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast 2nd follow-up shot is not really needed because the other opponent is now hit by the first shot and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. When engaging numerous players because the gun just shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring guns are incredibly efficient under the right conditions during airsoft games. Spring guns like pistols can generally shoot accurately up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs but the ability to hit targets decreases quickly.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to bring as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They work just like an AEG rifle and use pressurized air with electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines usually store about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough spare mags to reload and the battery maintains its charge that long. These handguns can effectively fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has risen significantly over the last few years. The initial generation guns were a bit sketchy and unreliable, but the new models have most of the issues worked out and make effective airsoft backup guns. They can be modded with enhanced magazine storage capacities as well as accommodating bigger batteries.
A significant advantage of buying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the connectors to use an increased capacity battery with longer life. Depending upon the AEG handgun style, you can get a sizable boost in performance and fire rate using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the standard mini battery. Be careful when adjusting the elements and wires since you must consider the voltages, mAh, and loads of the batteries. If you have customization concerns, ask an expert airsoft service tech at your closest airsoft shop.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
Picking the ideal airsoft pistol for you depends upon how much you can afford, how often you intend to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. If you can use more than $100 to invest in your airsoft handgun, look at a green gas blowback pistol or AEG pistol. These are typically the top of the line, have the very best efficiency, and could be a really good sidearm to purchase. If you have in-between more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to spend, have a look at a CO2 handgun or a cheaper green gas handgun. These mid-tier guns will still finish the job and will be pretty tough sidearms. Look for a cheaper CO2 or spring pistol if you have fifty dollars or less. You can still get a long lasting airsoft handgun to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
