Information on the Varieties of Airsoft Handguns
Find information about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Numerous airsoft pistols are completely certified releases of their authentic handgun equivalents and look and run in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than real bullets.
There are a few varieties of airsoft pistols including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these types of sidearms have benefits and differences related to them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft pistols allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most long-lasting and common types of pistols. They are all season, all weather guns and operate well in lots of types of weather conditions and climates. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is typically kept in the handgun’s mag inside the handle.
These types of airsoft pistols are very good for airsoft games in colder weather given that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to performance variations with low temperatures. This fact provides very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other sorts of sidearms like green gas cease to work or hardly fire BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a metal cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas made up of just one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, as a result the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridges under extremely high pressure of around ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, however the moment they are opened (firing them in an airsoft pistol breaks the 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 chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They come with a supplier’s expiry date usually printed on the box or cartridge, however, they will survive for a prolonged period past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns resemble CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft BBs. The effect on game play and green gas pistol performance is almost the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are quickly fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and accurate at short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is housed in the handgun’s mag which can frequently hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the gun style. A bunch of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the propane gas pressurized in the pistol mag prior to when the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good plan to refill and top off the propane reserves in the mag each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can additionally bring extra bottles of green gas or propane in the field for reloading mags between lulls in the battle or in-between missions.
When carrying a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a main or secondary weapon, additional pistol mags are strongly recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional mags on-hand helps you reengage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not enabled to be used during indoor gameplay. This is a safety rule due to the close range proximity of players during the shooting engagements. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy moving the BB lower compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. First there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns function like an authentic pistol with the slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The gas causes the slide to cycle each time a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This functioning while shooting is very cool, however the guns usually are more expensive and potentially have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback handguns usually cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same between the two varieties of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas typically works very well on the airsoft field, it does have limitations. For example, when they are played with throughout the winter in the snow or in colder temperatures (like less than 32 degrees F). Considering that the green gas or propane is stored in the pistol mag by silicone seals and gaskets, cold weather can negatively impact these seals and allow the stored gas to escape before firing the handgun. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would typically shoot BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather).
One solution to this issue is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by putting them next to your body just before game play starts. If you truly need to play with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold, it may also be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful coil springs that launch the BBs down the gun barrel. They are generally only able to shoot one BB. The manual functioning of reloading, cocking, and shooting spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes them fun to use, however they are less efficient when dueling players on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons and fully auto airsoft AEG assault rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring sidearms perform best in springer battles where airsoft players can only use comparable, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters backup weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently surprise other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick 2nd followup shot will not be needed due to the fact that the other player is already hit by the first BB and out of the game or going back to respawn. Beware when attacking multiple players considering the springer just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring guns are incredibly effective under the proper conditions during airsoft games. Spring guns like pistols can often shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Details
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring into the field as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s handle. They work similar to an AEG SMG and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol mags typically can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire 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 Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually increased substantially in the last few years. The initial generations were a bit sketchy and unreliable, however the latest models have the deficiencies worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further modified with maximized magazine capacities and by accommodating bigger batteries.
A big perk of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger battery with higher mAh. Based on the AEG pistol type, you may be able to gain a sizable output in performance utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the standard AEP battery. Beware of changing the elements and the gun’s wires because you must think about the voltages, mAh, and loads of the battery. If you have customization questions, ask a professional gun specialist at your local airsoft shop.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Buy?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, check out a green gas blowback handgun or AEG handgun. If you have between $50 to $100 to spend, evaluate a good quality CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB pistol. You can still look for a durable airsoft handgun by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with other players in the used gun market if you are looking for a deal.
