Airsoft Handgun Design Additional Info
Find information about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as extra weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Numerous airsoft pistols are fully accredited replications of their genuine handgun equivalents and run and appear in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these forms of handguns come with benefits and differences associated with them. Finding out about the varieties of airsoft pistols lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most heavy-duty and popular kinds of handguns. They are all-season, all-weather pistols working well in lots of kinds of weather, temperatures, and environments. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is usually stored in the handgun’s handle.
These styles of airsoft weapons are great choices for playing in cold and snowy weather conditions because the high pressure CO2 gas is less vulnerable to FPS decreases by temperature. This offers great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for example where other varieties of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop working or barely shoot pellets.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a chrome cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas made up of one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cylinders are not multiple-use and you can typically purchase them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, but when they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You should attempt to deplete the entire CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. 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 additional gas. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the pistol stops firing BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have a maker’s use by date normally marked on the box or cylinder, however, they will probably stay pressurized for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft sidearms are similar to CO2 guns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot the airsoft BBs. The outcome on the battlefield and green gas sidearm functionality is just about the same as CO2 pistols with the guns 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 very short to mid-range distances.
The propane gas is stored in the handgun’s airsoft mag which can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas stored in the magazine till the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When using a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a secondary or primary weapon, additional handgun mags are suggested for quickly reloading. Having extra mags helps you re engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles and full-sized AEGs are usually not permitted to be used for indoor engagements. This is an essential safety rule due to the close range proximity of players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB lower compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various forms of green gas airsoft handguns. First there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols work like an authentic pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. When a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. The result is very cool, however the handguns often are more expensive and likely have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback guns normally cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same between 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 magazine by rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, the cold can impact these o-rings and allow the stored gas to escape before shooting. The lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only land a few feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the green gas pistol would usually shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One strategy to this problem is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them next to your body or near a heat source just before game play starts. If you really desire to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred pistol.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Details
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong coil springs that launch the BBs down the pistol barrel. They are typically single-shot. The manual functioning of reloading, cocking, and shooting spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. This makes spring airsoft pistols fun to use, yet they can be less useful when confronting rivals on the airsoft field with fully auto airsoft AEG rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring pistols work best in springer wars where opponents can exclusively use comparable, single shot spring weapons or as a transition weapon for CQB environments when you can frequently surprise other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid 2nd followup shot is not needed because the other opponent is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. Take care when fighting numerous airsoft players considering that the spring weapon just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring pistols are incredibly reliable under the right game circumstances. Spring guns like pistols can generally shoot accurately up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs however the ability to hit targets decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They function similar to an AEG rifle and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags generally carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has risen significantly in recent years. The initial generation guns were a bit questionable and undependable, but the new versions have most of the issues resolved and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be upgraded with maximized mag capacities together with accommodating larger batteries.
A huge advantage of buying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the adapters to use a more substantial battery with longer life. Based on the AEG handgun model, you can get a big leap in performance using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative to the standard mini battery. Be careful when changing the elements and wires since you must take into account the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. Ask a pro airsoft gun technician at your local airsoft store or shop if you have customization concerns.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Buy?
If you have $100 or more to use to buy your airsoft handgun, take a look at a GBB pistol or AEG pistol. If you have in-between $50 to $100 to invest, evaluate a CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB handgun. You can still play with a resilient airsoft handgun by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft guns if you are on a budget.
