Information on the Styles of Airsoft Pistols
Learn about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as secondary guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft pistols are fully licensed replications of their actual firearm equivalents and function and appear in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these types of handguns has negatives and positives connected with them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft pistols helps you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most standard and resilient types of handguns. These pistols use CO2 stored in small cylinders to launch airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These kinds of airsoft weapons are good choices for playing in colder temperatures considering that the pressurized CO2 gas is less sensitive to variation by low temperatures. This fact provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other types of airsoft guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly shoot BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a metal cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas made up of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, and so the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cylinders under really high pressure of about ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can normally purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely and securely within, once they are punctured (firing them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You ought to try to expend the whole CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and burn up the remaining surplus gas. There is no gas level gauge on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the pistol stops cycling.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have the maker’s best used by date typically printed on the package or cylinder, but they may last for an extended time past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, but they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is almost the same as CO2 pistols with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is housed in the handgun’s magazine and can commonly hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the handgun design. A set of valves, silicone stoppers, and o-rings keep the gas housed in the pistol mag up to the point the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great choice to refill and top off your propane supply in the mag each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding players can additionally bring surplus bottles of green gas in the field for reloading magazines in-between lulls in the fight or in-between activities.
When carrying a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a secondary or main gun, bringing extra magazines is suggested for quickly reloading. Having additional mags on-hand helps you get back in the action during firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not authorized to be used for indoor engagements. This is a safety standard due to the close range distance of gamers during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a lower level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas generally can be used effectively, it does have drawbacks. For example, when green gas guns are used throughout the winter airsoft season in the snow or in colder weather (like less than 32 deg F). Considering that the green gas or propane gas is stored in the pistol mag by silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, low temperatures can negatively affect the seals and cause the gas to seep out prior to firing the handgun. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot several feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would typically shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One option to this issue is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by holding them next to your body prior to game play. If you really desire to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it may also be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that launch the BBs out of the gun barrel. The manual action of reloading, cocking, and shooting spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols.
Spring pistols work most effectively in springer battles where players can exclusively use related, single shot spring handguns or as a transitional backup weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid second followup shot will not be required since the other person is already hit by the first BB and out of the gameplay or headed back to respawn. Look out when attacking multiple opponents considering the springer only shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring guns are really reliable under the best scenarios and airsoft games. Their FPS often chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These handguns typically fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the pitched springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft guns. Spring pistols can usually engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but precision diminishes rapidly. Shooting basic 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a reduced range of about 60 to 80 feet with improved target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft sidearms 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 handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They operate much like an AEG SMG and use compressed air with electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines typically can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually increased substantially over the last few years. The first gens were a bit questionable and undependable, however the new models have most of the bugs resolved and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be modded with increased mag capacities and also accommodating more powerful batteries.
A big advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capacity to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger battery with longer life. Depending upon the AEG handgun version, you may be able to gain a substantial leap in performance utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock AEP battery. Take care of modifying the parts and wires since you have to consider the voltages, mAh, and loads of the batteries. If you have modding concerns, ask a professional gun technician at your nearest airsoft store or shop.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft handgun, evaluate a green gas blowback pistol or AEG handgun. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to shell out, evaluate a CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB handgun. If your gun budget is lower, you can still look for a resilient airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
