Airsoft Pistol Style Additional Info
Find information about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Numerous airsoft handguns are completely licensed releases of their genuine handgun counterparts and look and run in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these varieties of handguns has negatives and positives related to them. Learning about the types of airsoft sidearms allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most typical and tough types of pistols. These handguns use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to push airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These styles of airsoft pistols are very good for airsoft games in colder temperatures given that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to performance variations by temperature levels. This provides good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other sorts of handguns like green gas cease to operate or hardly fire airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a shiny cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas made up of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cartridges cannot be refilled and you can normally buy them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, but as soon as they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are not expended. You ought to attempt to consume 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 extra gas if the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level sign on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the pistol stops cycling.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are kept sealed. They do have a manufacturer’s best used by date normally printed on the package or cartridge cylinder, however they will probably stay pressurized for a long time past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handgun Info
Green gas airsoft pistols function similarly to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to fire the airsoft pellets. The result on gameplay and green gas pistol effectiveness is essentially the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and can hit targets at short to mid-range distances.
The propane is stored in the handgun’s airsoft mag that can often hold between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol model. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the mag up until the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a main or backup weapon, additional pistol mags are highly recommended for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional magazines helps you join in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields considering that long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not approved to be used during indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety standard due to the close range proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB lower compared to airsoft rifles, 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 handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas usually functions extremely well on the airsoft field, it does have constraints. When green gas and GBB guns are used throughout the winter airsoft games in the snow or in cold temps (such as under 32 degrees F). Since the green gas or propane gas is kept in the weapon’s magazine using silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, low temperatures can affect the seals and make the gas to leak out before firing the pistol. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot several feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather conditions).
One option to fix this problem is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by putting them next to a heater or by your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to heat up the seals, gaskets, and valves and help to seal in the green gas. If you honestly desire to have fun with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun shoots far better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that fire the BBs out of the gun barrel. The manual action of reloading, firing, and cocking spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring airsoft guns perform the best in springer battles where opponents can only use related, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters backup weapon for CQB environments when you can often surprise other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast second follow-up shot is not required given that the other opponent is already struck and out of the game play or moving back to respawn. When engaging multiple foes since the spring airsoft gun just fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring pistols are extremely useful under the ideal scenarios. Spring guns can often shoot accurately up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to hit targets decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to use as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They function much like an AEG gun and use pressured air with electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines normally can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually increased substantially in recent years. The early generations were a bit questionable and unreliable, but the new models have most of the problems worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further modded with maximized mag capacities in addition to accommodating more powerful batteries.
A large benefit of buying an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the wires to use an increased capacity battery with longer life. Based on the AEG handgun version, you can get a sizable boost in functionality by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the standard AEP battery. Take care of customizing the elements and the gun’s wires because you need to take into account the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. Ask an expert airsoft gun specialist at your nearest airsoft store or shop if you have modding concerns.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
Picking the ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you can afford, how often you want to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. If you have at least $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol, look into a green gas blowback or GBB handgun or AEG pistol. These kinds of handguns are typically the best of the best, have the best efficiency, and can be a really good airsoft gun to invest in. Look at a CO2 pistol or more affordable green gas GBB handgun if you have about $50 to $100 to put towards an airsoft gun purchase. Middle of the road guns like these will still finish the job and can be long lasting sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring pistol if you have $50 or less. You can still buy a durable airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games.
