Information About the Designs of Airsoft Handguns
Find out about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best pistol and practicing with it can make a big difference in improving your shots. Sidearms, naturally, are reduced range airsoft weapons. They are frequently created after firearm handguns or look-alikes of genuine handguns. A large number of airsoft pistols are fully certified versions of their real firearm equivalents. These airsoft guns can function (except for shooting bullets) in the same ways and look similarly to the real guns they are modeled around while shooting airsoft BBs as opposed to real bullets.
There are several types of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these types of pistols have negatives and positives associated with them. Finding out about the kinds of airsoft sidearms allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most popular and long-lasting styles of handguns. They are all-season guns and operate well in a lot of types of weather and environments. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs down the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is normally kept in the pistol’s magazine in the handle.
These forms of airsoft guns are great choices for playing in cold and snowy weather conditions given that the high pressure CO2 gas is less vulnerable to performance variations with temperature levels. This fact gives CO2 airsoft handguns excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other kinds of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop performing or barely fire BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas comprised of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, but the moment they are opened (firing them in an airsoft gun breaks the seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are kept sealed. They are made with a manufacturer’s expiration date typically marked on the package or cylinder, however they will probably maintain pressure for a prolonged time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns function similarly to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot the airsoft pellets. The effect on gameplay and green gas pistol operation is just about the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or automatic shooting modes and can accurately hit targets at very short to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s grip within the magazine and can often hold in-between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending upon the gun design. A series of valves, silicone stoppers, and o-rings keep the propane gas pressurized in the pistol magazine up until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great habit to top off and refill the propane supply in your mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can even take excess bottles of propane in the field for refilling magazines in-between breaks in the fight or between activities.
When playing with a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup gun, bringing extra handgun mags is strongly recommended for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional mags on-hand allows you to re engage in the action throughout firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles and full-sized AEGs are typically not approved to be used during indoor shooting. This is a safety guideline due to the close quarters proximity of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different styles of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Because the green gas or propane is stored in the pistol mag using rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, cold temps can negatively influence these gaskets and cause the stored gas to leak out before shooting. The lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One strategy to this problem is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by placing them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket just before game play. If you really want to play with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol.
About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong coil springs that fire the BBs out of the handgun barrel. They are normally one shot only. The manual actions of firing, reloading, and cocking spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. This makes spring airsoft guns interesting to use, yet they can be less effective when facing other airsoft players on the airsoft field with fully auto airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring sidearms work the best in springer battles where airsoft players can only use comparable, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters combat backup gun for CQB environments when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a rapid second followup shot isn’t needed due to the fact that the other opponent is now hit by the first shot and out of the gameplay or going back to respawn. When engaging multiple attackers given that the gun just fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring handguns are very efficient under the proper circumstances. Their FPS typically chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons typically fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the coiled springs are less effective than other styles of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring guns can usually shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however precision decreases rapidly. Using regular 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a decreased range of about 60 to 80 feet or less with increased accuracy.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring into the field as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They function just like an AEG rifle and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun magazines generally can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has grown substantially recently. The initial generations were a little bit questionable and undependable, but the newer designs have most of the deficiencies resolved and make reliable airsoft backup guns. They can be further upgraded with enhanced magazine capacities and also accommodating more powerful batteries.
A big advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connectors to use an increased capacity battery with higher mAh. Depending upon the AEG handgun model, you are able to get a large jump in performance utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the stock battery. Beware of modifying the components and wires since you should think about the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. Ask a pro airsoft specialist at your closest airsoft shop if you have customization issues.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me?
Selecting the right airsoft handgun for you depends upon how much you want to spend, how often you desire to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. If you can use at least $100 to spend on your airsoft handgun, take a look at a green gas blowback handgun or AEG pistol. These are typically the top-tier guns, have the very best efficiency, and are usually a good sidearm to purchase. Consider a CO2 handgun or more affordable green gas GBB pistol if you have between $50 to $100 to invest. These guns will still do the job and are tough sidearms. If you have less than fifty dollars, shop for a cheaper CO2 or springer handgun. You can still buy a dependable airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games.
