Airsoft Handgun Style Info
Learn about airsoft guns like pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best sidearm and practicing with it can make an impact in hitting your shots. Handguns, by nature, are short range airsoft weapons. They are normally crafted after actual guns or look-alikes of legitimate pistols. A large number of airsoft pistols are completely certified versions of their authentic weapon counterparts. These airsoft guns can look and feel and function (sans shooting bullets) in the same ways identically to the real guns they are designed around while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are several types of airsoft handguns such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these varieties of pistols has negatives and positives related to them. Learning about the styles of airsoft sidearms allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most dependable and standard types of sidearms. These pistols use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to launch airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are good choices for playing in colder weather because the compressed CO2 gas is less prone to performance variations caused by temperature. This provides good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other varieties of sidearms like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly shoot pellets.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a metal cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas comprised of one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, as a result of the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridges under really high pressure of near ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cartridges cannot be refilled and you can commonly purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, but once they are punctured (firing them in an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You need to try to run through the whole CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. If the airsoft games 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. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the handgun stops cycling.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have the manufacturer’s expiry date usually listed on the package or cartridge cylinder, however they will likely maintain pressure for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols resemble CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot the airsoft pellets. The effect on game play and green gas pistol operation is virtually the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are rapidly fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can accurately hit targets at shorter to mid-range ranges.
The propane gas is stored in the pistol’s magazine which can usually hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the mag until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or primary gun, additional mags are highly recommended for quickly reloading. Having additional mags allows you to get back in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields given that long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not enabled to be used for indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety guideline because of the close quarters proximity of players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. To start with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols run like a legitimate handgun with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. Each time a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas induces the slide to cycle. The result is extremely cool, however the handguns typically cost more and likely have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback guns generally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two kinds of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Because the green gas or propane is kept in the magazine using rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, the cold can influence these gaskets and cause the gas to leak out before shooting. This can make the airsoft BBs to simply land a few feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would usually shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One option to this issue is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by holding them next to your body or by a heater before game play starts. If you absolutely want to play with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold, it may also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun.
Info on Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that fire the airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. They are generally able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual functions of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. This makes spring airsoft pistols fun to use, but they are usually less effective when dealing with other airsoft players on the airsoft field with upgraded airsoft guns like fully automatic airsoft AEG rifles and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring airsoft guns perform the best in springer wars where game players can solely use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a transitional weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick 2nd follow-up shot will not be really needed due to the fact that the other opponent is now struck and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. Look out when fighting a number of foes considering the spring airsoft gun just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring handguns are very reliable under the appropriate circumstances. Spring guns can commonly shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to use as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They function just like an AEG SMG and use forced air pumped through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags typically carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs as high as about 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends if you have enough spare mags to maintain the ammo supply and the battery maintains its charge that long. These AEP handguns can accurately fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually risen significantly in recent years. The earliest generations were a bit questionable and unreliable, but the newer versions have the deficiencies resolved and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be improved with enhanced magazine storage capacities as well as accommodating more powerful batteries.
A large benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the adapters to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can get a big output in functionality by taking advantage of a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
Finding the best airsoft handgun for you depends on your gun budget, how often you would like to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. If you can afford more than $100 to spend on your airsoft handgun, take a look at a green gas blowback pistol or AEP pistol. These kinds of guns are normally the best of the best, have great efficiency, and are usually a really good gun to invest in. Check out a CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB handgun if you have between $50 to $100 to invest. These guns will still work well and can be pretty long lasting sidearms. Look for a cheap CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still get a resilient airsoft handgun to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
