About the Kinds of Airsoft Handguns
Learn about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as extra weapons or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft pistols are completely certified replications of their genuine weapon equivalents and function and appear in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than actual bullets.
There are several varieties of airsoft handguns including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these forms of sidearms have negatives and positives connected with them. Finding out about the varieties of airsoft pistols lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most typical and durable types of handguns. These handguns use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These styles of airsoft weapons are great choices for airsoft games in cold and snowy temperatures due to the fact that the pressurized CO2 gas is less prone to variation with low temperature. This fact offers exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other styles of handguns like green gas cease to work or barely fire pellets.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a chrome cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas comprised of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, but when they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft handgun breaks the 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 opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are stored sealed. They have a supplier’s expiration date normally listed on the box or cylinder, however, they will survive for a very long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the exact same as CO2 pistols with the guns around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is sealed in the handgun’s magazine which can typically hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun style. A bunch of valves, rubberized stoppers, and seals keep the green gas housed in the mag up until the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a great plan to top off and refill your propane reserves in the magazine each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding gamers can even carry extra bottles of propane in the field for reloading in-between lulls in the fight or between games.
When using a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a backup or main gun, extra handgun magazines are highly recommended for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional magazines on-hand allows you to re-engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are great for CQB at airsoft fields considering that long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not authorized to be used during indoor shooting. This is an essential safety regulation due to the close quarters distance of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy shooting 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 styles of green gas airsoft pistols. To begin with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns operate like a genuine pistol with the gun’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. When a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. This functionality is really cool, but the handguns frequently cost more and potentially have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback guns usually cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two varieties of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas normally performs very well on the airsoft field, it does have limits. This includes when they are played with during the winter airsoft season in the snow or in very cold temperatures (like under 32 degrees F). Since the green gas or propane gas is held in the pistol mag using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, low temperatures can impact the seals and make the gas to escape prior to shooting. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot several feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would ordinarily shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One solution to this problem is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them next to a heater or by 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 variation of your favorite pistol if you actually want to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform much better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by strong coil springs that fire the BBs down the pistol barrel. They are generally one shot only. The manual actions of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. This makes spring guns enjoyable to use, but they are usually less useful when going up against other players on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons and fully auto airsoft AEG rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring sidearms work the best in springer wars where airsoft players can just use related, single shot spring guns or as a transition weapon for CQB environments when you can often sneak up to other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick second follow-up shot will not be needed considering that the other player is now hit and out of the game or going back to respawn. When engaging several enemies given that the weapon just shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring pistols are remarkably efficient under the right scenarios. Their FPS generally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12g airsoft BBs. These pistols typically fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the coiled springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring guns can generally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however accuracy is reduced rapidly. Using conventional 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a decreased shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet with enhanced target accuracy.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring into the field as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They work much like an AEG rifle and use forced air forced through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines usually can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has risen considerably over the last few years. The initial generation guns were a bit unreliable and sketchy, but the more recent models have the problems worked out and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be improved with increased mag capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A big benefit of using an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the connectors to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun design, you can gain a substantial jump in performance by using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Play with?
Choosing the best airsoft handgun for you depends upon how much you can afford, how often you would like to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. If you can use at least $100 to invest in your airsoft handgun, consider a green gas blowback or GBB pistol or AEP handgun. These kinds of guns are usually the best of the best, have good efficiency, and could be a great investment. If you have in-between $50 to $100 to devote to your airsoft gun purchase, have a look at a CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB handgun. These will still finish the job and are tough sidearms. If you have less than $50, find a cheap CO2 or spring handgun. You can still find a well-built airsoft handgun to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
