Info About the Varieties of Airsoft Pistols
Learn about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. A large number of airsoft handguns are completely manufactured and licensed models of their actual gun counterparts and function and appear in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than actual bullets.
There are several kinds of airsoft handguns including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these kinds of handguns have positives and negatives associated with them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft pistols lets you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most common and durable types of handguns. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These styles of airsoft handguns are very good for playing airsoft in colder weather because the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to performance variations caused by low temperatures. This gives CO2 airsoft guns excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other kinds of airsoft pistols like green gas cease to work or hardly fire pellets.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a shiny cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 cartridges cannot be refilled and you can commonly buy them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, once they are punctured (shooting them in an airsoft gun breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are not used up. You should 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 left, use the chance to do some pistol accuracy and target practice and consume the remaining extra gas. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the pistol stops firing BBs.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are stored sealed. They come with a manufacturer’s best used by date normally printed on the package or cartridge, however they can maintain pressure for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft BBs. The impact on airsoft games and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet per second. Shots are quickly fired in automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at short to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s magazine and can often hold roughly 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending upon the gun style. A sequence of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the propane pressurized in the pistol magazine till the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a good choice to top off and refill the green gas in the mag each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding players can also bring surplus bottles of green gas or propane in the field for reloading mags in-between breaks in the battle or between game play.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or primary gun, bringing extra handgun mags is suggested for quickly reloading. Having additional magazines on-hand allows you to get back in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not permitted to be used during indoor shooting. This is an essential safety standard because of the close range distance of players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various styles of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas usually functions very well on the airsoft field, it does have drawbacks. This includes when green gas guns are used throughout the winter airsoft season in the snow or in colder temperatures (like under 32 degrees F). Given that the green gas or propane is stored in the magazine by silicone seals and gaskets, low temperatures can impact these seals and allow the gas to leak out prior to shooting. The depressurized gas can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot several feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer temperatures).
One strategy to this issue is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by putting them next to your body prior to the airsoft game play starts. If you really desire to play with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred pistol.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Information
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong coil springs that fire the BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are normally single-shot. The manual functions of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring pistols makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. This makes them interesting to use, yet they can be less practical when dueling competitors on the airsoft field with fully auto airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring sidearms work the best in springer wars where game players can just use related, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters backup weapon for CQB environments when you can often sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a quick 2nd followup shot will not be required due to the fact that the other person is now hit and out of the game or headed back to respawn. When engaging multiple foes because the gun only shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring pistols are quite effective under the ideal situations. Spring guns like pistols can often fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to engage targets decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Info
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to bring into the field as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They function similar to an AEG gun and use compressed air with electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun mags typically store about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute assuming you have enough spare magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery holds out that long. These AEP pistols can effectively fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has increased considerably over the last few years. The initial gens were a bit sketchy and undependable, however the more recent models have the bugs resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further modified with enhanced magazine capacities together with accommodating bigger batteries.
A substantial perk of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the connections to use a larger battery with longer life. Depending upon the AEG handgun style, you can gain a substantial boost in performance and fire rate by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the standard mini battery. Take care of customizing the components and the gun’s wires since you need to take into consideration the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. Ask a professional airsoft gun tech at your nearest airsoft store if you have customization inquiries.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft handgun, take a look at a green gas blowback handgun or automatic electric pistol. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to shell out, review a good quality CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB handgun. If you have less than $50, you can still choose a long lasting airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
