About the Varieties of Airsoft Handguns
Learn about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft handguns are completely licensed releases of their real pistol equivalents and look and operate in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are several kinds of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these styles of sidearms come with negatives and positives associated with them. Learning more about the kinds of airsoft pistols lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most dependable and typical types of handguns. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These styles of airsoft handguns are good choices for playing airsoft in cold weather due to the fact that the pressurized CO2 gas is less vulnerable to FPS decreases with temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft guns excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other types of handguns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly shoot BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metal cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas consisting of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, but once they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft handgun breaks the seal) they will start 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 excess gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They come with the supplier’s expiration date normally printed on the package or cylinder, but they will probably last for a long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Green Gas Airsoft Handgun Facts
Green gas airsoft handguns function similarly to CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft pellets. The operational impact on gameplay and green gas pistol effectiveness is essentially the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to about 300+ FPS. Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic shooting modes and precisely hit targets at short to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is stored in the handgun’s grip within the mag which can often hold around 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending on the pistol model. A series of valves, rubberized stoppers, and o-rings keep the gas sealed in the pistol magazine up to the point the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good plan to fill up and top off the propane reserves in your pistol mag each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding gamers can even bring supplemental bottles of green gas or propane in the field for refilling in-between lulls in the battle or between games.
When playing with a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a secondary or main weapon, bringing extra pistol mags is highly recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra magazines on-hand allows you to join in the action during firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not allowed to be used for indoor shooting. This is a safety guideline due to the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB at a decreased level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various forms of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols work like an actual pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” with every shot. The propane causes the slide to cycle each time a fresh airsoft BB is chambered. This cycling is really cool, however the GBB handguns often are more expensive and likely have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns have a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback guns generally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Because the green gas or propane gas is stored in the mag using rubber o-rings, seals, and silicone gaskets, cold temps can impact these o-rings and allow the gas to leak out prior to shooting the handgun. This lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would normally shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One solution to this problem is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by holding them next to your body just before the game play. This can help to warm up the rubber gaskets and help to seal in the green gas. It can also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred pistol if you really want to play airsoft with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and these guns shoot much better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Details
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs that launch the airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are typically able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual functioning of cocking, firing, and reloading spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. When facing enemies on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles, automatic airsoft AEG assault rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns, this makes spring airsoft pistols entertaining to use, however less efficient.
Spring sidearms and guns perform best in springer battles where opponents can exclusively use comparable, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters weapon for CQB environments when you can often sneak up to other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick second follow-up shot will not be really needed due to the fact that the other player is now hit by the first BB and out of the game play or going back to respawn. Beware when attacking multiple opponents considering the spring gun just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring pistols are really efficient under the best game circumstances. Spring pistols can typically fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to hit targets reduces quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring into the field as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They operate just like an AEG SMG and use forced air forced through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun magazines normally can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends if you have enough magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery lasts that long. These handguns can efficiently shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually risen substantially recently. The first generations were a bit unreliable and sketchy, however the new designs have most of the problems resolved and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be further upgraded with maximized mag capacities in addition to accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capacity to rewire the battery wires to use a bigger battery. Depending upon the AEG pistol style, you are able to gain a substantial boost in performance by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) in place of the standard battery. Take care of tweaking the elements and the gun’s wires because you should take into consideration the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. If you have modding questions, ask an expert airsoft service technician at your nearest airsoft shop or store.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me?
Picking the best airsoft sidearm for you depends upon how much you can afford to spend, how often you intend to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. If you can use $100 or more to invest in your airsoft pistol, look into a green gas pistol or AEP handgun. These kinds of handguns are usually the top-tier guns, have the best build qualities, and can be a great airsoft gun to invest in. Look into a CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB pistol if you have around $50 to $100 to put towards an airsoft gun purchase. These mid-tier guns will still do the job and can be pretty sturdy sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring pistol if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still find a long lasting airsoft handgun to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
