Airsoft Pistol Type Information
Find information about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. A large number of airsoft pistols are fully manufactured releases of their genuine firearm equivalents and function and look in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these styles of handguns have benefits and differences related to them. Learning about the styles of airsoft handguns allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most dependable and standard types of sidearms. These pistols use CO2 stored in small cylinders to launch airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These types of airsoft weapons are great choices for playing airsoft in cold and snowy weather because the compressed CO2 gas is less prone to performance decreases by temperature. This fact provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other sorts of airsoft guns like green gas cease to function or barely fire BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a metal cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas made up of a single carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, thus the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under extremely high pressure of around ~ 800psi that converts to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but once they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge 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 chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They are made with the supplier’s best used by date usually printed on the package or cartridge, however they can stay pressurized for a very long period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearm Information
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, but they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is virtually the exact same as CO2 handguns with the weapons around 300+ FPS.
The propane is kept in the handgun’s magazine which can normally hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the handgun type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the mag until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a main or secondary weapon, extra handgun mags are advised for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra magazines allows you to join in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles and full-sized AEGs are typically not authorized to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety regulation due to the close range proximity of players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB lower compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various forms of green gas airsoft handguns. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns operate like a genuine handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. Every time a new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas causes the slide to cycle. The result is very cool, however the GBB pistols typically cost more and possibly have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback guns generally cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is housed in the handgun mag by rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, cold weather can affect these o-rings and cause the stored gas to escape before shooting the handgun. This can cause the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a number of feet (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the green gas handgun would usually shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One strategy to this issue is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by positioning them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket prior to game play starts. If you truly desire to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it may also be worth getting a CO2 style of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that launch the airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. They are typically single shot. The manual actions of cocking, reloading, and firing spring handguns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. This makes spring guns enjoyable to use, yet they can be less practical when running into opponents on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry like auto airsoft AEG rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring guns work best in springer wars where airsoft players can just use comparable, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick second follow-up shot isn’t needed because the other person is now hit by the first shot and out of the game or running back to respawn. When engaging several airsoft players since the spring gun just shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring pistols are quite reliable under the right circumstances and airsoft games. Their FPS generally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12g airsoft BBs. These handguns normally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs because the springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring guns can usually be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to hit targets reduces quickly. Shooting conventional 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a decreased range of around 60 to 80 feet or less with increased target accuracy.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to bring into the field as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They operate much like an AEG SMG and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun magazines typically carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough spare magazines to reload with and the battery maintains its charge that long. These pistols can precisely shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually grown considerably in the last few years. The earliest gen AEP guns were a little bit sketchy and unreliable, however the latest models have most of the problems worked out and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modified with maximized magazine capacities along with accommodating larger batteries.
A massive advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the connections to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG handgun design, you can gain a sizable jump in efficiency by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have $100 or more to use to buy your airsoft handgun, you may want to consider a GBB handgun or AEG pistol. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to upgrade your gun, check out a good quality CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB handgun. You can still look for a long lasting airsoft pistol by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with other players in the used airsoft gun market if you are trying to save money.
