Info About Airsoft Handgun Varieties
Learn more about airsoft guns like pistols and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the right pistol can make a big difference in aiming your shots. Handguns, naturally, are lower range airsoft guns. They are commonly manufactured after real-world sidearms or replications of authentic pistols. Quite a few airsoft pistols are completely certified editions of their actual weapon counterparts. These airsoft guns can function (short of shooting bullets) in the same ways and appear almost identically to the real guns they are modeled after while firing airsoft BBs in place of real-world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these kinds of sidearms come with benefits and differences connected with them. Learning about the types of airsoft handguns lets you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most heavy-duty and common types of sidearms. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are very good for playing in cooler weather conditions since the pressurized CO2 gas is less susceptible to variation by temperature. This fact offers good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other sorts of airsoft pistols like green gas cease to work or barely fire BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 cartridge cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can typically order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely and securely inside, but soon after they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You ought to attempt to deplete the whole CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas if the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level gauge on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the handgun stops firing.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They do have the supplier’s expiry date typically marked on the box or cartridge, however they will probably survive for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 handguns, but they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is virtually the very same as CO2 pistols with the weapons at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the handgun’s magazine and can typically hold in-between 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending on the gun style. A set of valves, rubber stoppers, and seals keep the green gas housed in the pistol magazine up to when the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great habit to top off and refill your green gas reserves in the pistol mag each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding gamers can even take extra bottles of green gas in the field for reloading magazines between breaks in the war or between game play.
When running a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a main or secondary gun, bringing additional magazines is advised for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra mags on-hand allows you to reengage in the action throughout firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not permitted to be used for indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety rule due to the close range proximity of players during shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy moving the BB lower compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various sorts of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas typically performs effectively, it does have limitations. When green gas and GBB guns are used over the winter season in the snow or in colder weather conditions (such as below 32 degrees F). Since the green gas or propane is kept in the magazine by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can impact the seals and trigger the gas to leak out prior to firing the handgun. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would ordinarily shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One fix for this problem is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by holding them next to your body before game play. This can help to warm up the rubber gaskets and help to seal in the green gas. It may also be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred pistol if you truly need to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun shoots far better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Info on Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong coil springs that send the BBs out of the gun barrel. The manual action of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols.
Spring pistols perform the best in springer battles where game players can solely use related, single shot spring guns or as a transition weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a rapid second followup shot will not be required given that the other person is already struck and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. When engaging a number of enemies considering that the spring airsoft gun just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring guns are considerably useful under the most ideal situations. Their FPS usually chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These weapons typically fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the coiled springs are less effective than other types of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring guns can usually engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however precision diminishes rapidly. Shooting basic 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet or less with improved accuracy.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to carry as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They function just like an AEG rifle and use forced air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines usually hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually grown significantly over the last few years. The earliest gen guns were a bit unreliable and questionable, but the newer models have most of the bugs worked out and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modded with enhanced magazine capacities and by accommodating larger batteries.
A significant benefit of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the connections to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can get a large increase in performance by employing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the stock battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me?
Picking the right airsoft handgun for you depends on how much you want to spend, how often you plan to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, consider a green gas blowback or GBB pistol or AEG pistol. These are typically the top of the line, have good performance, and can be a really good handgun to buy. Look at a CO2 pistol or less expensive green gas GBB handgun if you have between $50 to $100 to buy a gun. These will still be fun to play with and are pretty tough sidearms. If you have $50 or less, try to find a lower end CO2 or spring handgun. You can still buy a dependable airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
