Airsoft Handgun Design Additional Information
Learn 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 ideal pistol and practicing with it can make an impact in improving your shots. Sidearms, by nature, are short range airsoft weapons. They are frequently produced after actual pistols or replications of authentic handguns. Quite a few airsoft sidearms are fully licensed models of their real-world weapon counterparts. These airsoft guns can function (short of shooting bullets) in the same ways and visually appear identical to the real guns they are modeled around while shooting airsoft BBs as opposed to real bullets.
There are several kinds of airsoft handguns including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these varieties of handguns has positives and negatives related to them. Finding out about the kinds of airsoft handguns allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most typical and long lasting types of handguns. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These styles of airsoft guns are excellent for playing airsoft in colder temperatures because the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to performance decreases by low temperature. This fact gives CO2 airsoft sidearms great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other types of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop working or barely shoot pellets.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however the moment they are opened (firing them in an airsoft pistol 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 chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They come with the maker’s use by date usually listed on the box or cylinder, but they will survive for a prolonged time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistol Details
Green gas airsoft sidearms resemble CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft BBs. The effect on gameplay and green gas pistol effectiveness is basically 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 shooting modes and accurate at short to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is stored in the pistol’s magazine which can often hold between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs based on the pistol model. A bunch of valves, rubberized stoppers, and o-rings keep the propane gas housed in the mag up to when the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great choice to fill up and top off your green gas supply in your pistol mag each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding gamers can even carry supplemental bottles of green gas in the field for reloading mags in-between lulls in the fight or in-between gameplay.
When using a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or primary weapon, extra pistol mags are highly recommended for quickly reloading. Having extra mags on-hand allows you to reengage in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are generally not allowed to be used during indoor game play. This is a safety rule due to the close quarters proximity of gamers during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy launching the BB lower compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various types of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas typically functions very well on the airsoft field, it does have limits. When green gas and GBB guns are used throughout the winter playing in the snow or in colder weather conditions (like below 32 deg F). Since the green gas or propane gas is kept in the pistol mag using silicone seals and gaskets, cold weather can negatively affect the seals and make the stored gas to escape before firing the pistol. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer temps).
One option to this problem is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by holding them next to your body or by a heater prior to game play. If you truly need to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that fire the airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are usually one shot. The manual functioning of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. This makes spring airsoft guns fun to use, but they are usually less effective when confronting rivals on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons, fully automatic airsoft AEG rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring sidearms and guns work the best in springer battles where players can just use comparable, single shot spring handguns or as an alternative weapon for CQB environments when you can frequently surprise other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick 2nd followup shot is not called for given that the other opponent is already hit by the first shot and out of the game or running back to respawn. When engaging many different rivals considering that the spring gun simply shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring handguns are incredibly effective under the best game conditions. Spring guns like pistols can generally shoot up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to engage targets decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to bring into the field as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They function just like an AEG rifle and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun mags typically hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually increased substantially recently. The initial generation AEP guns were a little bit sketchy and undependable, but the latest versions have most of the bugs resolved and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be modified with maximized magazine capacities along with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A significant benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can gain a substantial jump in functionality by adopting a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have $100 or more to use to buy your airsoft handgun, evaluate a green gas blowback handgun or AEG handgun. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to invest, check out a good quality CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB handgun. You can still get a long lasting airsoft pistol by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with other players in the used gun market if you are trying to save money.
