Information About Airsoft Pistol Varieties
Find out about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the right sidearm and practicing with it can make all the difference in aiming your shots. Sidearms, naturally, are shorter range airsoft weapons. They are commonly created after real-world handguns or look-alikes of actual handguns. Many airsoft handguns are fully certified editions of their actual pistol counterparts. These airsoft guns can function (except for shooting bullets) in the same ways and visually appear similarly to the real guns they are designed after while shooting airsoft BBs instead of authentic 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 handguns. Each of these kinds of handguns have positives and negatives associated with them. Learning about the types of airsoft pistols allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most standard and sturdy types of sidearms. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These styles of airsoft pistols are good for airsoft games in cooler weather conditions given that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to FPS decreases caused by low temperature. This fact provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other kinds of guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely fire BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a shiny cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas comprised of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but once they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the 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 handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They do have the supplier’s best used by date normally printed on the package or cylinder, however, they can stay pressurized for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Green Gas Airsoft Handgun Information
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, but they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is almost the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is housed in the handgun’s magazine and can typically hold around 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs based on the handgun design. A series of valves, silicone gaskets, and seals keep the green gas housed in the pistol magazine up until the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great idea to fill up and top off your green gas in your mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can even carry extra bottles of propane in the field for refilling magazines in-between breaks in the fight or in-between games.
When playing with a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or primary gun, bringing extra pistol mags is strongly recommended for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra mags on-hand helps you reengage in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles and full-sized AEGs are usually not allowed to be used for indoor game play. This is a safety rule because of the close range distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy shooting 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 two different varieties of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns run like a genuine handgun with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. Every time a fresh airsoft BB is chambered, the gas induces the slide to cycle. This cycling is really cool, but the GBB handguns typically are more expensive and possibly have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback weapons usually cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same when comparing the two varieties of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas normally performs extremely well, it does have drawbacks. This includes when green gas guns are used in the winter airsoft games in the snow or in colder weather (like less than 32 degrees F). Because the green gas or propane gas is stored in the weapon’s mag using silicone seals and gaskets, cold weather can negatively impact the seals and make the stored gas to seep out before firing the handgun. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would typically shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One option to this issue is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them next to your body before the airsoft game play. If you truly want to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite handgun.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that fire the BBs out of the pistol barrel. The manual functioning of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns.
Spring guns work best in springer wars where players can just use similar, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can often sneak up to other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a rapid second followup shot isn’t needed because the other person is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. Be careful when fighting numerous adversaries considering the weapon just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring guns are incredibly efficient under the appropriate game circumstances. Their FPS typically chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These pistols normally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the pitched springs are less powerful than other kinds of airsoft weapons. Spring pistols can usually shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to hit targets decreases quickly. Shooting standard 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a decreased range of around 60 to 80 feet with heightened precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Details
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to use as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They function similar to an AEG rifle and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines normally can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has grown substantially recently. The first gen AEP guns were a bit unreliable and sketchy, however the more recent versions have the problems worked out and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be modified with maximized mag storage capacities and by accommodating bigger batteries.
A substantial advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the connectors to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol design, you can get a big increase in efficiency by employing a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock mini battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Buy?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, you may want to consider a GBB handgun or AEG handgun. If you have between $50 to $100 to shell out, evaluate a CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB handgun. If your gun budget is lower, you can still find a durable airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games.
