Information on Airsoft Handgun Varieties
Learn about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft handguns are completely certified replications of their authentic firearm counterparts and look and run in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these forms of pistols come with negatives and positives connected with them. Finding out about the types of airsoft sidearms lets you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most durable and standard types of handguns. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These styles of airsoft pistols are exceptional for playing airsoft in cold weather conditions because the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to variation caused by low temperatures. This provides good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other styles of airsoft pistols like green gas stop performing or barely fire pellets.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a shiny cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas made up of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, but the moment they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They are made with the supplier’s expiry date typically noted on the package or cylinder, however, they will probably stay pressurized for a long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 pistols, but they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the same as CO2 handguns with the guns at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stored in the pistol’s magazine and can often hold between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the handgun model. A set of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the green gas pressurized in the mag until the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great plan to top off and refill your green gas reserves in your pistol mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can even take surplus bottles of green gas in the field for refilling magazines between breaks in the battle or in-between game play.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a main or secondary gun, additional handgun mags are encouraged for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional mags helps you re engage in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles and full-sized AEGs are usually not enabled to be used for indoor gameplay. This is a safety standard due to the close range distance of players during shooting engagements. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB at a decreased level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various varieties of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns work like a real pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” with every shot. The gas triggers the slide to cycle every time a new airsoft BB is chambered. The result is very cool, but the guns usually are more expensive and possibly have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns have a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback guns usually cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two types of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas typically works effectively on the airsoft field, it does have issues. For example, when green gas guns are played with in the winter airsoft season in the snow or in very cold temperatures (like less than 32 degrees F). Because the green gas or propane gas is stored in the weapon’s magazine using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, low temperatures can negatively affect the seals and allow the gas to escape prior to firing the handgun. This can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot several feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this issue is to try to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by placing them inside your jacket next to your body just before the game play. This can help to heat up the rubber gaskets and better seal in the green gas. It might also be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite pistol if you truly need to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Info
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that fire the BBs out of the gun barrel. They are usually single-shot. The manual actions of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When engaging players on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry like fully auto airsoft AEG rifles, SMGs, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns, this makes spring guns enjoyable to use, but less efficient.
Spring sidearms and guns work best in springer battles where players can exclusively use similar, single shot spring weapons or as an alternative backup weapon for CQB settings when you can often surprise other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick second followup shot will not be needed considering that the other player is already hit by the first BB and out of the game or running back to respawn. Beware when engaging several opponents given that the weapon only shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring pistols are extremely reliable under the appropriate scenarios and airsoft games. Spring handguns can typically fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to hit targets reduces rapidly.
About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to use as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They work much like an AEG rifle and use pressurized air pumped through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun magazines typically can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually risen considerably in recent years. The earliest generations were a bit questionable and unreliable, but the new versions have the bugs resolved and make effective airsoft secondary guns. They can be further upgraded with enhanced mag storage capacities as well as accommodating larger batteries.
A substantial perk of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the battery wires to use an enhanced capacity battery with longer life. Based on the AEG handgun version, you can gain a sizable leap in performance and fire rate by using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the standard battery. Be careful when tweaking the components and wires because you must take into account the voltages, mAh, and loads of the battery. Ask a pro weapon service technician at your nearest airsoft shop if you have modding questions.
What Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Play with?
Finding the right airsoft pistol for you depends on how much you can afford, how much you desire to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. If you can use over one-hundred dollars to invest in your airsoft pistol, take a look at a green gas handgun or AEG pistol. These are typically the top of the line, have great performance, and could be an excellent pistol to buy. Consider a CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB handgun if you have between more than $50 but less than $100 to buy a gun. These guns will still function well and can be pretty resilient sidearms. If you have fifty dollars or less, try to find a cheaper CO2 or springer pistol. You can still find a tough airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
