Airsoft Pistol Design Additional Information
Learn more about airsoft handguns and pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the right pistol and practicing with it can make a big difference in blasting your shots. Pistols, naturally, are lower range airsoft weapons. They are usually produced after real sidearms or miniatures of authentic pistols. Quite a few airsoft handguns are completely certified editions of their real world gun counterparts. These airsoft guns can handle in the same ways and look almost identically to the real guns they are designed after while firing airsoft BBs in place of real-world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these forms of sidearms come with benefits and differences related to them. Learning about the types of airsoft pistols allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most dependable and common types of sidearms. These pistols use CO2 stored in small cylinders to launch airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These types of airsoft weapons are exceptional for playing airsoft in cooler weather conditions given that the high pressure CO2 gas is less sensitive to FPS decreases by temperature levels. This fact provides very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other varieties of handguns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire pellets.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a shiny steel cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas comprised of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, so the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cylinders under extremely high pressure of about ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cartridges cannot be refilled and you can normally purchase them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely within, but once they are punctured (firing them in an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not used up. You must attempt 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 leftover, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and expend the rest of the extra gas. There is no gas level sign on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the gun stops firing.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They are made with the maker’s use by date typically printed on the package or cartridge cylinder, but they will last for a prolonged period past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistol Information
Green gas airsoft pistols resemble CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel 6mm airsoft pellets. The result on gameplay and green gas pistol performance is just about the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are rapidly fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and accurate at very short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is kept in the pistol’s airsoft magazine that can frequently hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the pistol design. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas pressurized in the mag up until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When playing with a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or main weapon, bringing additional magazines is advised for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional mags allows you to reengage in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not enabled to be used during indoor gameplay. This is a safety standard because of the close range distance of gamers during shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy launching 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 various kinds of green gas airsoft handguns. First, there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols operate like a realistic pistol with the slide “blowing back” with every shot. The gas triggers the slide to cycle every time when a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This functionality is really cool, however the guns often cost more and likely have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback pistols usually cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas normally functions extremely well on the airsoft field, it does have restrictions. For example, when they are played with during the winter in the snow or in colder weather (like lower 32 deg F). Considering that the green gas or propane gas is held in the weapon’s mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can affect the seals and make the stored gas to escape before firing the pistol. This can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One strategy to this issue is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket prior to game play starts. If you really want to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it may also be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful coil springs that launch the BBs out of the gun’s barrel. The manual functions of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols.
Spring guns work the best in springer wars where participants can exclusively use comparable, single shot spring guns or as a transition backup gun for CQB buildings when you can often surprise other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a quick 2nd follow-up shot will not be required due to the fact that the other person is now hit by the first BB and out of the game or going back to respawn. Look out when attacking multiple adversaries considering the gun just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring guns are really reliable under the right scenarios and airsoft games. Spring handguns can usually shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to engage targets reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to use as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They function similar to an AEG SMG and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines typically carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough magazines to maintain the ammo supply and the battery lasts that long. These handguns can precisely fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has increased substantially in recent years. The initial gen AEP guns were a bit questionable and undependable, but the more recent designs have most of the bugs resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be improved with increased magazine storage capacities and also accommodating bigger batteries.
A substantial advantage of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the connections to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun type, you can gain a large jump in efficiency by adopting a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Buy?
If you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol, you may want to consider a GBB pistol or AEG handgun. If you have around $50 to $100 to spend, evaluate a CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB handgun. You can still look for a resilient airsoft handgun by checking out cheaper pistols and by shopping for used pistols if you are looking for a deal.
