Airsoft Handgun Style Details
Learn about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft pistols are fully manufacturer licensed models of their genuine weapon equivalents and look and operate in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these styles of pistols has negatives and positives connected with them. Finding out about the types of airsoft pistols allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most durable and popular types of sidearms. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These types of airsoft weapons are great choices for playing airsoft in cold weather conditions since the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to variation with low temperature. This offers great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other styles of airsoft sidearms like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a chrome metal cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas consisting of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, consequently the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridges under really high pressure of around ~ 800psi that correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cartridges cannot be used multiple times and you can normally purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely and securely within, but once they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the seal) the cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not used up. You must try to run through the whole CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas if the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the weapon stops firing BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They do have the manufacturer’s best used by date typically listed on the package or cartridge cylinder, however, they will likely stay pressurized for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft sidearms are similar to CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft BBs. The impact on game play and green gas weapon effectiveness is basically the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or automatic shooting modes and accurate at shorter to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is housed in the pistol’s mag which can commonly hold in-between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending on the handgun design. A series of valves, silicone gaskets, and seals keep the propane gas sealed in the pistol magazine up to when the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great habit to top off and fill up your green gas reserves in your mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can additionally carry additional bottles of propane in the field for reloading magazines between lulls in the fight or between games.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a secondary or primary gun, additional handgun magazines are suggested for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra mags on-hand helps you join in the action throughout firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not allowed to be used for indoor shooting. This is an essential safety rule because of the close range distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various styles of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns function like an authentic pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. Each time a fresh airsoft BB is chambered, the gas induces the slide to cycle. The result is extremely cool, but the GBB pistols usually are more expensive and potentially have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback pistols commonly cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same between the two kinds of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas normally functions effectively, it does have restrictions. When they are used during the winter airsoft games in the snow or in cold temperatures (like below 32 deg F). Given that the green gas or propane is stored in the magazine using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can affect these seals and cause the gas to leak out prior to shooting. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot several feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would ordinarily shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One solution to this challenge is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them inside your jacket next to your body prior to game play. This can help to warm the seals, gaskets, and valves and help to seal in the green gas. It might also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol if you truly need to play airsoft with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Info on Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful coil springs that launch the BBs down the handgun barrel. They are generally able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual functioning of firing, cocking, and reloading spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. When facing foes on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry like fully auto airsoft AEG assault rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols, this can make them enjoyable to use, however less effective.
Spring pistols perform best in springer wars where participants can just use comparable, single shot spring weapons or as a transitional backup gun for CQB settings when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick 2nd followup shot isn’t really needed considering that the other person is already hit by the first BB and out of the game play or moving back to respawn. Beware when attacking many different enemies due to the fact that the springer only fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring pistols are extremely reliable under the best situations. Their FPS normally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These handguns usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the pitched springs are less powerful than other kinds of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring pistols can generally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however accuracy reduces quickly. Shooting standard 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a reduced shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet with enhanced accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to carry as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s handle. They work just like an AEG rifle and use pressurized air with electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun mags generally carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually risen significantly in the last few years. The initial generation guns were a bit undependable and sketchy, but the newer models have most of the problems resolved and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be further upgraded with maximized magazine storage capacities in addition to accommodating more powerful batteries.
A large benefit of buying an AEG handgun is that you have the opportunity to rewire the wires to use an increased capacity battery with higher mAh. Depending upon the AEG pistol style, you are able to gain a sizable output in functionality by using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the standard AEP battery. Be careful when customizing the components and the gun’s wires since you must consider the voltages, mAh, and loads of the batteries. If you have modding concerns, ask a qualified airsoft service technician at your nearest airsoft shop or store.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me?
Deciding on the best airsoft handgun for you depends on how much you can afford, how much you plan to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. If you can use over $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol, consider a green gas blowback pistol or AEG handgun. These guns are normally the best of the best, have great build qualities, and can be a great investment. Look at a CO2 pistol or less costly GBB pistol if you have in-between more than $50 but less than $100 to spend. These mid-tier guns will still get the job done and are long lasting sidearms. If you have less than fifty dollars, research a low end CO2 or springer pistol. You can still find a dependable airsoft pistol to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
