Airsoft Pistol Style Additional Info
Find information about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as extra weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Numerous airsoft handguns are completely accredited replications of their authentic weapon equivalents and operate and appear in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a number of varieties of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these kinds of handguns have negatives and positives connected with them. Learning more about the kinds of airsoft pistols allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft sidearms are among the most resilient and typical styles of pistols. They are all-season, all-weather handguns and operate well in lots of kinds of weather and environments. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is generally kept in the handgun’s mag inside the handle.
These types of airsoft guns are good for playing in cold weather conditions since the high pressure CO2 gas is less susceptible to performance decreases caused by low temperatures. This fact offers good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for example where other types of sidearms like green gas cease to operate or barely shoot BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas consisting of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cylinders cannot be refilled and you can typically order them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely and securely within, once they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not expended. You ought to 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 matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indicator on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the pistol stops firing.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are kept sealed. They come with the manufacturer’s expiration date usually marked on the package or cartridge, however, they will maintain pressure for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, however they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is practically the very same as CO2 pistols with the weapons at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the pistol’s magazine and can commonly hold between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending upon the gun model. A bunch of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the green gas sealed in the mag up until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great idea to fill up and top off the green gas reserves in the magazine each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding gamers can also carry extra bottles of propane in the field for refilling in-between breaks in the battle or in-between game play.
When carrying a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or main weapon, extra magazines are advised for quickly reloading. Having additional magazines allows you to re-engage 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 generally not permitted to be used for indoor gameplay. This is a safety regulation because of the close range distance of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB lower compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various kinds of green gas airsoft handguns. First, there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns function like a real pistol with the gun’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. Every time a brand-new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas induces the slide to cycle. This cycling is very cool, but the handguns frequently cost more and likely have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns have a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback guns generally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same between the two types of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Because the green gas or propane gas is housed in the pistol magazine by using rubber seals and gaskets, cold weather can influence these o-rings and allow the gas to leak out before shooting. This lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would typically shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this problem is to try to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by putting them near your body just before the airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the seals and valves and better seal in the green gas. If you really want to use a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold, it can also be better to check out a CO2 version of your favorite pistol. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun will shoot far better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong coil springs that propel the airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. They are usually able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual functions of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. This makes spring guns entertaining to use, but they are usually less practical when encountering opponents on the airsoft field with upgraded airsoft guns, auto airsoft AEG rifles and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring airsoft guns work most effectively in springer battles where participants can solely use related, single shot spring guns or as an alternative backup gun for CQB settings when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast 2nd followup shot is not needed since the other person is now hit by the first BB and out of the game or moving back to respawn. Take care when attacking many different adversaries given that the springer just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring guns are quite efficient under the best game circumstances. Their FPS often chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These guns usually fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the pitched springs are less effective than other types of airsoft weapons. Spring handguns can normally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets accurately decreases quickly. Shooting standard 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a reduced range of around 60 to 80 feet with improved target accuracy.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft handguns 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 commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They operate much like an AEG rifle and use pressured air with electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags usually can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually risen significantly in recent years. The early generation guns were a bit sketchy and undependable, but the latest designs have most of the deficiencies worked out and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be upgraded with maximized magazine capacities together with accommodating bigger batteries.
A huge advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun design, you can get a large jump in performance by using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock battery.
What Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Play with?
Deciding on the ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you can afford, how much you want to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. Check out a green gas blowback handgun or AEG pistol if you have $100 or more to spend on your airsoft pistol. These are usually the top-tier guns, have great efficiency, and are usually a great sidearm to buy. If you can afford between more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to spend, check out a CO2 pistol or a cheaper GBB pistol. These will still do the job and will be sturdy sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still get a sturdy airsoft handgun to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
