Airsoft Handgun Style Information
Find out about airsoft handguns and pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal sidearm and practicing with it can make a big difference in aiming your shots. Handguns, by nature, are diminished range airsoft guns. They are quite often constructed after real world sidearms or models of authentic handguns. Numerous airsoft pistols are fully certified editions of their authentic gun equivalents. These airsoft guns can handle in the same ways and visually look similarly to the real guns they are designed around while blasting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a few kinds of airsoft pistols including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these types of sidearms have benefits and differences related to them. Learning about the styles of airsoft pistols lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft sidearms are among the most common and tough types of pistols. They are all-season, all-weather guns and function well in lots of types of temperatures, weather and climates. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is usually stored in the gun’s magazine inside the handle.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are exceptional for airsoft games in cold and snowy weather conditions considering that the high pressure CO2 gas is less susceptible to performance decreases caused by low temperatures. This fact offers very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other varieties of guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a chrome metal cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas made up of 1 carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, and so the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under very high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however when they are opened (firing them in an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They do have a manufacturer’s best used by date usually marked on the package or cartridge, however, they will maintain pressure for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns function similarly to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft pellets. The effect on game play and green gas weapon functionality is just about the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are rapidly fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at shorter to mid-range distances.
The green gas is stored in the pistol’s mag which can commonly hold between 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending upon the handgun design. A set of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the green gas housed in the pistol magazine till the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a good choice to top off and fill up the green gas in the pistol mag each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding gamers can additionally bring supplemental bottles of propane gas in the field for reloading magazines between lulls in the fight or in-between games.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or main weapon, extra handgun magazines are strongly recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional mags allows you to re-engage in the action throughout firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields because long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not permitted to be used for indoor shooting. This is an essential safety guideline due to the close range proximity of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy sending 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 types of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas usually performs effectively, it does have drawbacks. For example, when green gas guns are used during the winter airsoft games in the snow or in cold weather (like lower 32 deg F). Considering that the green gas or propane gas is stored in the pistol mag using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, the cold can impact these seals and cause the gas to escape prior to shooting airsoft BBs. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer temperatures).
One option to fix this problem is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them inside your jacket next to your body prior to game play. This can help to warm up the seals and help to seal in the green gas. It can also be worth checking out a CO2 version of your preferred handgun if you truly need to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun will shoot better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that fire the BBs down the pistol barrel. They are usually single shot. The manual functioning of reloading, firing, and cocking spring airsoft guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes spring airsoft pistols entertaining to use, but they are usually less successful when confronting challengers on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons, auto airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring sidearms and guns work most effectively in springer battles where opponents can exclusively use related, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters combat backup gun for CQB settings when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid 2nd follow-up shot will not be needed because the other person is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game play or headed back to respawn. Take care when attacking many different enemies since the gun just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring handguns are extremely useful under the proper conditions during airsoft games. Their FPS typically chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons generally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the springs are less powerful than other kinds of airsoft weapons. Spring handguns can typically be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but precision diminishes quickly. Using normal 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a range of around 60 to 80 feet or less with enhanced precision.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to use as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s handle. They work much like an AEG rifle and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags generally can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends if you have enough magazines to reload and the battery maintains its charge that long. These pistols can efficiently shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has increased significantly recently. The early gen guns were a little bit unreliable and sketchy, however the latest designs have the deficiencies worked out and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be modded with increased magazine storage capacities in addition to accommodating larger batteries.
A big perk of buying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the battery wires to use an enhanced capacity battery with higher mAh. Based on the AEG pistol design, you can get a big output in performance using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative to the stock battery. Take extra precautions when modifying the components and the gun’s wires since you must think about the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. Ask a pro gun specialist at your closest airsoft shop or store if you have customization inquiries.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have $100 or more to spend on your airsoft handgun, check out a GBB handgun or automatic electric pistol. If you have in-between $50 to $100 to shell out, review a CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB handgun. You can still find a resilient airsoft handgun by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with other players in the used airsoft gun market if you are on a budget.
