Airsoft Handgun Design Additional Information
Learn about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A large number of airsoft pistols are completely licensed versions of their real pistol equivalents and look and run in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of real bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these types of sidearms come with positives and negatives connected with them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft handguns lets you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are among the most tough and typical varieties of handguns. They are all season, all weather weapons working well in lots of types of temperatures, weather and environments. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge is generally kept in the pistol’s magazine.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are excellent for playing airsoft in cold and snowy weather since the high pressure CO2 gas is less susceptible to FPS decreases caused by low temperatures. This offers very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other types of airsoft sidearms like green gas cease to work or hardly fire pellets.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny metallic cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas made up of a single carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however the moment they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They come with a maker’s expiry date normally listed on the package or cartridge, but they will survive for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 pistols, however they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is virtually the exact same as CO2 handguns with the weapons at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s airsoft magazine that can typically hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the pistol style. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the gas pressurized in the mag till the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a primary or secondary gun, additional handgun magazines are advised for quickly reloading. Having additional mags on-hand helps you get back in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not enabled to be used for indoor shooting. This is an essential safety regulation due to the close range distance of players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a lower level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different types of green gas airsoft pistols. First there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns run like an actual pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. Each time a new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas causes the slide to cycle. This functioning while shooting is extremely cool, however the weapons often cost more and potentially have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns have a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback weapons generally cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two varieties of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Since the green gas or propane is stored in the pistol mag by using rubber seals and silicone gaskets, cold temperatures can impact these o-rings and allow the stored gas to escape prior to shooting the handgun. This can make the airsoft BBs to only land a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the green gas pistol would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One solution to this problem is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket prior to game play starts. If you really need to play with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred handgun.
About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful springs that fire the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual actions of firing, reloading, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols.
Spring pistols work the best in springer battles where airsoft players can just use related, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters backup weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid second followup shot will not be really needed due to the fact that the other person is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game play or heading back to respawn. When engaging many different airsoft players because the spring airsoft gun simply shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring handguns are quite effective under the right conditions. Spring guns can normally fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to engage targets reduces quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to carry as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They work just like an AEG gun and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun mags normally carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has risen significantly in the last few years. The earliest generations were a bit undependable and questionable, but the newer models have most of the bugs resolved and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be improved with increased mag capacities and by accommodating bigger batteries.
A big advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the adapters to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can gain a substantial increase in efficiency by employing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft pistol, evaluate a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric pistol. If you have around $50 to $100 to shell out, look at a good quality CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB pistol. If you have less than fifty dollars, you can still choose a durable airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with players on the used gun market.
