Information About the Styles of Airsoft Handguns
Learn about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the ideal handgun can make an impact in hitting your shots. Handguns, naturally, are lower range airsoft guns. They are quite often designed after genuine sidearms or replications of legitimate pistols. Numerous airsoft sidearms are completely licensed versions of their authentic gun counterparts. These airsoft guns can appear and function (sans shooting bullets) in the same ways almost identically to the real guns they are modeled after while firing airsoft BBs as opposed to genuine bullets.
There are several types of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these types of pistols has positives and negatives connected with them. Learning about the types of airsoft pistols allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearm Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most standard and durable kinds of pistols. They are all-weather handguns and operate well in many types of weather, extreme temperatures, and climates. These sidearms use pressurized CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs down the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is typically housed in the handgun’s handle.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are very good for airsoft games in cooler weather considering that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to variation with temperature. This fact provides excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for instance where other styles of airsoft handguns like green gas cease to function or hardly shoot airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas composed of one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, as a result the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cylinders under very high pressure of close to ~ 800psi that converts to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however when they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun 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 pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have the manufacturer’s expiration date usually noted on the package or cylinder, however, they may stay pressurized for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Green Gas Airsoft Handgun Facts
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. The impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the very same as CO2 pistols with the guns around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the pistol’s mag which can frequently hold in-between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending upon the pistol style. A bunch of valves, silicone gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas sealed in the magazine prior to when the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good plan to top off and fill up the propane supply in the mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can even take supplemental bottles of propane in the field for reloading mags in-between lulls in the battle or between game play.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a backup or primary weapon, bringing extra magazines is strongly recommended for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra magazines allows you to reengage in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are generally not allowed to be used for indoor engagements. This is an essential safety rule due to the close quarters distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a lower level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different sorts of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas usually can be used extremely well, it does have drawbacks. For example, when green gas guns are played with throughout the winter season in the snow or in colder weather (like less than 32 degrees F). Because the green gas or propane is held in the weapon’s magazine by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can impair these seals and trigger the gas to leak out before firing the handgun. The depressurized gas can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would normally shoot BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather).
One option to fix this issue is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by placing them inside your jacket next to your body just before the game play. This can help to warm up the seals and better seal in the green gas. If you definitely prefer to have fun with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it may also be worth buying a CO2 version of your favorite handgun. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and perform better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Information
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs that shoot the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual functions of firing, reloading, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns.
Spring sidearms work best in springer battles where opponents can exclusively use comparable, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick 2nd followup shot is not needed since the other opponent is now hit by the first shot and out of the game or heading back to respawn. Look out when fighting many different foes due to the fact that the spring gun only shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring handguns are quite effective under the best conditions during airsoft games. Spring guns can commonly shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however accuracy decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring into the field as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They operate much like an AEG gun and use forced air forced through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines generally hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs approximately around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare magazines to reload with and the battery lasts that long. These AEP pistols can efficiently fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has risen considerably recently. The initial gen guns were a bit sketchy and unreliable, however the latest versions have the problems resolved and make effective airsoft secondary guns. They can be modded with increased magazine capacities in addition to accommodating more powerful batteries.
A massive advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the adapters to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG handgun design, you can get a huge output in efficiency by adopting a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the stock mini battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
Looking for the most ideal airsoft pistol for you depends upon how much you want to spend, how much you intend to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. Look into a GBB green gas handgun or AEP pistol if you have more than $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol. These kinds of pistols are typically the top of the line, have great performance, and are usually a really good handgun to purchase. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to use for your gun, have a look at a CO2 handgun or a 2nd-tier green gas blowback pistol. Middle of the road guns like these will still function well and will be pretty long lasting sidearms. Look for a low end CO2 or spring handgun if you have $50 or less. You can still buy a resilient airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
