Info About Airsoft Pistol Types
Learn more about airsoft handguns and pistols and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal pistol and practicing with it can make an impact in aiming your shots. Handguns, naturally, are shorter range airsoft guns. They are quite often constructed after real-world pistols or clones of real pistols. A lot of airsoft sidearms are completely certified models of their genuine weapon equivalents. These airsoft guns can function (sans shooting bullets) in the same ways and look and feel similarly to the real guns they are modeled around while shooting airsoft BBs in place of actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these kinds of pistols has negatives and positives related to them. Learning more about the types of airsoft sidearms allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most sturdy and typical varieties of pistols. They are all-weather weapons and function well in many kinds of extreme temperatures, weather and environments. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs down the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is generally kept in the gun’s magazine.
These types of airsoft pistols are good choices for airsoft games in cooler weather conditions considering that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to performance decreases with temperature levels. This gives CO2 airsoft handguns exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for example where other kinds of pistols like green gas cease to work or hardly shoot BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas comprised of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridges under very high pressure of close to ~ 800psi that translates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however once they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games 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 while. They are made with a manufacturer’s expiry date typically noted on the box or cartridge, but they will stay pressurized for a long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 pistols, but they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is almost the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stored in the pistol’s magazine which can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending upon the pistol model. A set of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the propane gas housed in the pistol mag up until the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a good habit to fill up and top off the propane supply in the pistol mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding gamers can also carry excess bottles of green gas in the field for refilling mags between breaks in the fight or between gameplay.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or primary gun, bringing additional pistol mags is advised for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra magazines allows you to reengage in the action during firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are usually not approved to be used during indoor shooting. This is a safety regulation because of the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various forms of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns work like a legitimate pistol with the gun’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. When a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas causes the slide to cycle. This functionality is extremely cool, however the GBB weapons typically cost more and likely have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols generally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two varieties of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is kept in the pistol mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively influence these o-rings and allow the stored gas to escape prior to shooting the gun. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a number of feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would typically shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One fix for this problem is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by placing them inside your jacket next to your body prior to game play. This can help to warm up the rubber seals and help to seal in the green gas. It might also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun if you truly need to play airsoft with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and these guns shoot better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that propel the airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are normally single shot. The manual action of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. When dueling rivals on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles, auto airsoft AEG rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns, this can make spring airsoft pistols enjoyable to use, however less effective.
Spring airsoft guns perform the best in springer wars where participants can solely use related, single shot spring pistols or as a transitional backup weapon for CQB environments when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast second followup shot is not called for given that the other player is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game or moving back to respawn. Take care when fighting multiple opponents due to the fact that the springer just fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring guns are quite reliable under the best circumstances and airsoft games. Their FPS typically chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These pistols generally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs because the coiled springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft guns. Spring guns can usually be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to hit targets accurately is reduced rapidly. Shooting regular 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a reduced range of about 60 to 80 feet or less with improved target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They operate much like an AEG rifle and use pressurized air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun mags usually carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs approximately around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough magazines to reload with and the battery maintains its charge that long. These handguns can accurately shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has grown substantially in recent years. The initial generation AEP guns were a bit questionable and unreliable, but the newer models have most of the bugs resolved and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modified with enhanced magazine capacities and by accommodating bigger batteries.
A significant benefit of buying an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the connections to use an increased capacity battery. Based on the AEG handgun version, you can gain a large jump in performance and fire rate using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the standard AEP battery. Beware of customizing the components and the gun’s wires because you have to take into account the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. Ask an expert airsoft gun technician at your closest airsoft shop or store if you have modding problems.
What Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Buy?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, you may want to consider a GBB handgun or automatic electric handgun. If you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to upgrade your gun, evaluate a good quality CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB pistol. You can still get a long lasting airsoft pistol by checking out lower end pistols and by shopping for used pistols if you are on a budget.
