About the Types of Airsoft Pistols
Find out about airsoft sidearms and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best sidearm and practicing with it can make all the difference in the accuracy of your shots. Pistols, by nature, are lower range airsoft weapons. They are usually manufactured after firearm pistols or copies of genuine pistols. Many airsoft pistols are completely certified variations of their genuine gun equivalents. These airsoft guns can function (sans shooting bullets) in the same ways and visually appear almost identically to the real guns they are modeled after while shooting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these styles of sidearms have positives and negatives connected with them. Learning about the styles of airsoft pistols lets you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most popular and dependable types of handguns. These handguns use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These forms of airsoft handguns are good choices for playing airsoft in colder weather conditions due to the fact that the compressed CO2 gas is less sensitive to performance decreases by low temperature. This fact provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for example where other styles of guns like green gas cease to function or hardly fire pellets.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a metallic cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 cartridges are not reusable and you can commonly 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 within, but once they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You should attempt to dissipate the entire CO2 cartridge the 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 accuracy and target practice and consume the remaining surplus gas. There is no gas level indicator on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the gun stops cycling.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They come with the maker’s expiration date normally noted on the package or cartridge, however they will survive for a prolonged period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, but they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is practically the exact same as CO2 pistols with the guns at about 300+ FPS.
The propane is held in the handgun’s airsoft mag which can usually hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the pistol style. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas pressurized in the mag up until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When bringing a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a secondary or primary weapon, bringing additional magazines is highly recommended for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra mags allows you to reengage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields given that long guns and full-sized AEGs are usually not enabled to be used for indoor engagements. This is an essential safety guideline due to the close range proximity of players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different styles of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is held in the handgun mag using rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively impact these seals and allow the gas to escape prior to shooting the gun. This lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to simply land a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the green gas pistol would usually shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One fix to this issue is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by holding them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket prior to the airsoft game play starts. If you absolutely desire to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs that fire the BBs down the gun barrel. They are typically able to only shoot one BB. The manual functions of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes spring airsoft guns enjoyable to use, however they are less effective when running into players on the airsoft field with fully auto airsoft AEG rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring sidearms and guns work most effectively in springer battles where opponents can only use comparable, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters combat 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 case, a fast second follow-up shot is not really needed because the other person is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. Beware when engaging a number of adversaries given that the spring airsoft gun just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring pistols are remarkably effective under the proper game conditions. Their FPS generally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons typically fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs because the coiled springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft weapons. Spring handguns can usually be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however accuracy is reduced quickly. Choosing basic 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a reduced range of around 60 to 80 feet or less with improved accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to carry as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They work much like an AEG gun and use pressured air with electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines usually can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs approximately around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends if you have enough magazines to maintain the ammo supply and the battery lasts that long. These handguns can effectively fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually increased considerably recently. The initial gens were a bit sketchy and undependable, but the newer designs have the deficiencies worked out and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modified with enhanced mag storage capacities and by accommodating bigger batteries.
A huge advantage of buying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the wires to use a more robust battery with longer life. Based on the AEG handgun type, you may be able to get a large output in functionality by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the standard AEP battery. Take care of changing the elements and wires since you must take into account the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. If you have modding questions, ask a qualified professional airsoft specialist at your local airsoft store or shop.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Play with?
Deciding on the right airsoft pistol for you depends upon how much you can afford, how much you would like to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. Look at a GBB handgun or AEP handgun if you have over $100 to invest on your airsoft pistol. These kinds of handguns are typically the best of the best, have the most effective performance, and are usually a really good airsoft gun to invest in. Look into a CO2 pistol or more affordable green gas GBB handgun if you have between more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to put towards an airsoft gun purchase. Middle of the road guns like these will still do the job and can be pretty tough sidearms. If you have fifty dollars or less, shop for a cheap CO2 or springer pistol. You can still get a heavy-duty airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games.
