Airsoft Pistol Variety Information
Find information about airsoft sidearms and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the right sidearm can make a big difference in nailing your shots. Handguns, by nature, are diminished range airsoft weapons. They are quite often crafted after genuine pistols or reproductions of actual handguns. Lots of airsoft pistols are completely certified releases of their real-world gun equivalents. These airsoft guns can visually look and handle in the same ways almost identically to the real guns they are designed after while shooting airsoft BBs as opposed to real bullets.
There are several kinds of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these types of handguns come with negatives and positives connected with them. Finding out about the types 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 Handguns
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most dependable and popular kinds of pistols. They are all season weapons and operate well in a lot of kinds of weather, temperatures, and environments. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs down the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is normally kept in the pistol’s magazine inside the handle.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are exceptional for playing in cooler temperatures due to the fact that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to performance variations caused by low temperature. This fact gives CO2 airsoft sidearms exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other styles of airsoft sidearms like green gas cease to work or barely fire airsoft BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a chrome metal cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas composed of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, hence the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridges under extremely high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, however when they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) they will start 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 remaining gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They come with a maker’s best used by date typically printed on the package or cartridge cylinder, however, they may last for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols function similarly to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to fire the airsoft BBs. The operational impact on game play and green gas pistol performance is essentially the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and can accurately hit targets at shorter to mid-range distances.
The green gas is stashed in the handgun’s magazine that can often hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the handgun model. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the gas stored in the magazine up until the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or main gun, bringing additional pistol mags is highly recommended for rapidly reloading. Having extra magazines on-hand helps you 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 perfect for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not permitted to be used for indoor game play. This is a safety rule because of the close range distance of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy launching 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 two different types of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns 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 limits. When green gas and GBB guns are used over the winter airsoft games in the snow or in cold temperatures (such as under 32 deg F). Since the green gas or propane is stored in the magazine using silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, low temperatures can negatively affect these seals and make the stored gas to seep out prior to shooting. This can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would typically shoot BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather conditions).
One option to this issue is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket before game play starts. If you really desire to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold, it may also be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Details
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong coil springs that fire the BBs out of the pistol barrel. The manual action of reloading, firing, and cocking spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring airsoft guns work the best in springer wars where opponents can solely use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick second followup shot will not be needed given that the other player is already struck and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. When engaging multiple rivals considering that the spring airsoft gun simply fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring handguns are very effective under the right conditions during games. Their FPS typically chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These weapons usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the pitched springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft weapons. Spring guns can typically shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets accurately is reduced quickly. Shooting normal 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a reduced shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet or less with increased target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They operate similar to an AEG gun and use pressured air with electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags typically can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has grown significantly over the last few years. The first generation guns were a little bit undependable and questionable, but the new versions have most of the issues worked out and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be upgraded with increased mag capacities and by accommodating bigger batteries.
A massive advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the battery connections to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you can get a substantial output in efficiency by adopting a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Buy?
Finding the ideal airsoft pistol for you depends upon how much you want to spend, how often you want to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. If you can use over $100 to invest in your airsoft pistol, check out a green gas blowback or GBB handgun or AEG pistol. These are usually the top-tier guns, have the best performance, and are usually a pretty good gun to invest in. Consider a CO2 pistol or more affordable green gas GBB pistol if you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to buy a gun. Mid-tier guns like these will still do the job and can be pretty resilient sidearms. If you have fifty dollars or less, choose a cheaper CO2 or springer pistol. You can still get a sturdy airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
