About Airsoft Handgun Varieties
Learn more about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best handgun and practicing with it can make an impact in the accuracy of your shots. Handguns, naturally, are short range airsoft weapons. They are commonly developed after real world guns or reproductions of genuine handguns. Many airsoft sidearms are completely licensed adaptations of their real handgun counterparts. These airsoft guns can function in the same ways and visually look similarly to the real guns they are designed after while shooting airsoft BBs in place of real world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these forms of pistols come with benefits and differences associated with them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft pistols allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most standard and durable styles of pistols. They are all weather pistols and work well in many kinds of weather, extreme temperatures, and environments. These sidearms use pressurized CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is usually located in the handgun’s handle.
These types of airsoft guns are good for playing airsoft in cooler temperatures because the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to performance decreases caused by low temperatures. This fact offers exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for example where other types of pistols like green gas cease to function or barely shoot BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a shiny metallic cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas composed of just one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 cartridges cannot be used multiple times and you can usually order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas securely inside, but soon after they are punctured (firing them in an airsoft gun breaks the seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not used up. You must attempt to use up the entire CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indicator on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the weapon stops cycling.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are kept sealed. They come with the maker’s expiry date typically noted on the box or cartridge cylinder, but they can maintain pressure for an extended time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearm Details
Green gas airsoft pistols function similarly to CO2 guns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to fire 6mm airsoft pellets. The effect on the battlefield and green gas pistol functionality is practically the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet per second. Shots are efficiently fired in automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and accurate at very short to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is housed in the pistol’s grip within the mag which can frequently hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol style. A bunch of valves, rubber stoppers, and o-rings keep the green gas pressurized in the magazine up until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great choice to top off and refill your propane reserves in your magazine each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can additionally bring excess bottles of propane in the field for refilling mags in-between lulls in the battle or in-between game play.
When carrying a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a main or backup gun, additional handgun magazines are encouraged for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra magazines helps you get back in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not enabled to be used during indoor engagements. This is an essential safety guideline because of the close range distance of airsoft players during the 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 aids to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a lower level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various types of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Since the green gas or propane is housed in the handgun mag using rubber seals and gaskets, cold temps can negatively impact these seals and cause the stored gas to leak out before shooting the pistol. The lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the GBB handgun would typically shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One option to fix this challenge is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by positioning them close to your body before airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the rubber seals and help to seal in the green gas. It might also be worth checking out a CO2 version of your preferred pistol if you really need to play airsoft with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Info on Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that shoot the BBs out of the gun’s barrel. The manual action of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols.
Spring sidearms and guns work best in springer battles where game players can exclusively use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a transition backup weapon for CQB settings when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick 2nd followup shot isn’t needed because the other player is now struck and out of the game or moving back to respawn. When engaging many different opponents since the weapon just shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring pistols are incredibly effective under the proper conditions. Their FPS normally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These guns usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the springs are less effective than other styles of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring handguns can generally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to hit targets accurately reduces quickly. Shooting standard 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a range of about 60 to 80 feet or less with improved target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to carry as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They work much like an AEG SMG and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun magazines generally carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute assuming you have enough spare magazines to reload and the battery maintains its charge that long. These pistols can effectively fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually increased significantly over the last few years. The earliest gens were a little bit unreliable and questionable, however the new designs have most of the issues resolved and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be upgraded with maximized magazine storage capacities and by accommodating more powerful batteries.
A significant perk of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capacity to rewire the wires to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG pistol style, you may be able to gain a substantial boost in performance by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock battery. Take care of changing the parts and wires since you need to consider the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. If you have customization concerns, ask a pro airsoft gun service tech at your nearest airsoft store or shop.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Play with?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, you may want to consider a GBB pistol or automatic electric pistol. If you have between $50 to $100 to upgrade your gun, check out a good quality CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB pistol. If you are on a budget, you can still choose a long lasting airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with players on the used airsoft gun market.
