Airsoft Handgun Design Info
Learn about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as backup weapons or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft handguns are completely certified releases of their genuine firearm counterparts and look and run in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these types of sidearms has negatives and positives associated with them. Learning about the varieties of airsoft sidearms lets you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most common and heavy-duty types of sidearms. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These forms of airsoft guns are excellent for airsoft games in cooler weather due to the fact that the high pressure CO2 gas is less vulnerable to performance decreases with temperature levels. This provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for example where other types of airsoft handguns like green gas stop performing or hardly shoot BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a metallic cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, thus the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cylinders under very high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, however as soon as they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. 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 remaining gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They are made with a supplier’s best used by date normally listed on the box or cartridge, however, they will likely last for a prolonged period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft sidearms are similar to CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane for propellant to propel the airsoft BBs. The outcome on airsoft games and green gas sidearm efficiency is essentially the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or automatic firing modes and precisely hit targets at shorter to mid-range distances.
The green gas is kept in the handgun’s grip within the mag and can frequently hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol style. A set of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the gas housed in the pistol magazine till the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a great plan to refill and top off the green gas supply in your mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding gamers can additionally take extra bottles of propane gas in the field for reloading between lulls in the fight or in-between game play.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a backup or main weapon, additional mags are highly recommended for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional magazines allows you to re-engage in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are great for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are typically not approved to be used during indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety rule because of the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB lower compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various styles of green gas airsoft handguns. To start with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns operate like a legitimate pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. Each time a brand-new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas causes the slide to cycle. The result is very cool, however the weapons often are more expensive and potentially have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback pistols usually cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same when comparing the two types of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is housed in the handgun mag by using rubber o-rings, seals, and silicone gaskets, the cold can negatively influence these o-rings and allow the gas to escape prior to shooting the pistol. This lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just land a number of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the handgun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One fix to this problem is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by holding them next to your body before the airsoft game play. If you absolutely want to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Information
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that propel the airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. They are usually able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual functions of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. When taking on attackers on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles, fully automatic airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols, this makes spring airsoft pistols enjoyable to use, but less effective.
Spring sidearms work most effectively in springer battles where airsoft players can solely use related, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters combat weapon for CQB buildings when you can often sneak up to other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a rapid 2nd follow-up shot is not really needed due to the fact that the other player is now hit by the first BB and out of the game or heading back to respawn. Be careful when attacking many different foes due to the fact that the spring gun just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring handguns are extremely reliable under the most ideal conditions during airsoft games. Spring handguns can typically shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but target accuracy decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to carry as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They work similar to an AEG SMG and use compressed air with electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines usually hold 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 using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually increased substantially in the last few years. The early generations were a little bit undependable and questionable, however the newer designs have most of the deficiencies worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be upgraded with increased magazine capacities as well as accommodating more powerful batteries.
A large advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the battery connections to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun model, you can get a large jump in functionality by taking advantage of a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the stock mini battery.
What Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Play with?
Picking the best airsoft sidearm for you depends upon your budget, how often you want to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. Look into a green gas blowback handgun or automatic electric AEP pistol if you have over $100 to invest on your airsoft handgun. These are normally the top of the line, have the greatest efficiency, and can be a really good gun to get. If you can afford in-between more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to use for your gun, look into a CO2 handgun or a cheaper GBB handgun. Middle of the road guns like these will still do the job and will be long lasting sidearms. If you have less than fifty dollars, search for a cheap CO2 or springer handgun. You can still find a dependable airsoft pistol to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
