Information on Airsoft Handgun Styles
Find information about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as extra guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft handguns are fully manufactured variations of their genuine firearm counterparts and function and look in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these styles of pistols has benefits and differences related to them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft pistols lets you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most heavy-duty and standard styles of handguns. They are all season, all weather pistols and function well in lots of types of weather conditions and environments. These sidearms use pressurized CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge is typically stored in the pistol’s magazine in the handle.
These forms of airsoft guns are exceptional for playing airsoft in cold and snowy temperatures due to the fact that the pressurized CO2 gas is less susceptible to variation caused by low temperatures. This fact gives CO2 airsoft guns excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other styles of pistols like green gas cease to function or hardly shoot BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, but as soon as they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft gun breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if they are stored sealed. They have the supplier’s expiry date typically printed on the package or cylinder, however they will survive for a long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols resemble CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to fire 6mm airsoft BBs. The effect on the airsoft battlefield and green gas handgun effectiveness is almost the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ FPS. Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic shooting modes and accurate at very short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is kept in the handgun’s grip within the mag and can typically hold roughly 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun model. A bunch of valves, silicone gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas stored in the mag up to when the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good idea to refill and top off the green gas supply in the mag each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can even carry additional bottles of green gas or propane in the field for refilling magazines between breaks in the fight or in-between game play.
When running a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a secondary or primary weapon, bringing additional handgun magazines is suggested for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra mags allows you to re engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not permitted to be used during indoor engagements. This is an essential safety regulation due to the close quarters distance of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy launching the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different types of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is kept in the handgun mag by rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, cold temperatures can affect these o-rings and allow the stored gas to escape prior to shooting the pistol. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to only land a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the gun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One fix to this issue is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them next to your body before game play. If you truly desire to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that fire the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual actions of cocking, firing, and reloading spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols.
Spring pistols work most effectively in springer battles where participants can exclusively use related, single shot spring handguns or as a transition backup weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently surprise other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a rapid 2nd followup shot isn’t needed because the other player is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game or going back to respawn. When engaging multiple opponents considering that the springer simply shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring pistols are quite reliable under the most ideal game conditions. Their FPS typically chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These pistols generally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the coiled springs are less effective than other styles of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring pistols can normally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to hit targets accurately decreases rapidly. Shooting conventional 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet with enhanced accuracy.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to carry as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s handle. They work just like an AEG SMG and use compressed air with electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun mags generally hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has grown substantially recently. The early gen guns were a bit questionable and undependable, but the more recent models have the problems resolved and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be improved with enhanced mag capacities along with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A significant benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the adapters to use a bigger battery with longer life. Based on the AEG pistol style, you are able to get a big output in efficiency by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) in place of the stock mini battery. Be careful when changing the parts and wires since you must consider the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. Ask a qualified weapon service technician at your local airsoft store if you have customization concerns.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Buy?
If you have $100 or more to spend on your airsoft pistol, evaluate a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric handgun. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend, evaluate a good quality CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB handgun. If you are on a budget, you can still choose a durable airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
