Airsoft Pistol Variety Info
Find info about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the ideal handgun can make a big difference in hitting your shots. Sidearms, by nature, are much shorter range airsoft weapons. They are normally created after real world guns or replicas of real handguns. Many different airsoft pistols are fully certified reproductions of their authentic firearm counterparts. These airsoft guns can run in the same ways and visually look almost identically to the real guns they are designed after while blasting airsoft BBs rather than real-world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these varieties of sidearms come with positives and negatives connected with them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft handguns allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most long-lasting and popular varieties of handguns. They are all weather pistols and work well in a lot of kinds of temperatures, weather and climates. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is normally housed in the handgun’s magazine.
These kinds of airsoft guns are good choices for playing in cold and snowy weather conditions due to the fact that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to variation by temperature levels. This fact offers very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for example where other types of guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely fire BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a metallic cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas made up of one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, however when they are opened (firing them in an airsoft weapon breaks the 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 pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are kept sealed. They do have the manufacturer’s use by date typically printed on the package or cartridge, however they will probably stay pressurized for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols function similarly to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane for propellant to fire 6mm airsoft BBs. The result on game play and green gas handgun efficiency is almost the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS. Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and accurate at very short to mid-range proximities.
The propane is held in the pistol’s mag which can commonly hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol design. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the magazine until the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When running a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or main weapon, bringing additional mags is advised for quickly reloading. Having additional mags on-hand helps you re-engage in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not enabled to be used during indoor gameplay. This is a safety guideline because of the close quarters distance of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a lower level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various sorts of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Because the green gas or propane gas is kept in the handgun mag using rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, the cold can negatively affect these seals and cause the gas to leak out before shooting the handgun. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely land a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the pistol would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One solution to this challenge is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by holding them next to your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to warm the seals and better seal in the green gas. If you definitely prefer to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold, it may also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun will shoot much better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful springs that launch the BBs out of the handgun’s barrel. The manual functions of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring guns work best in springer battles where opponents can exclusively use similar, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB settings when you can often surprise other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast 2nd follow-up shot is not called for because the other opponent is already hit and out of the game or running back to respawn. Beware when engaging multiple opponents because the spring weapon only shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring guns are incredibly reliable under the most ideal game conditions. Their FPS typically chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12g airsoft BBs. These handguns generally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the coiled springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring pistols can normally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however precision decreases quickly. Shooting conventional 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a reduced range of around 60 to 80 feet with enhanced accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Information
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to bring into the field as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They function much like an AEG SMG and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun mags normally store about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs approximately about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough magazines to reload with and the battery holds out that long. These AEP handguns can effectively shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has grown significantly recently. The earliest gen guns were a bit sketchy and undependable, but the latest versions have most of the issues resolved and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further modded with maximized magazine storage capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A significant perk of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the connectors to use a bigger battery with longer life. Depending on the AEG handgun type, you can get a large boost in performance by utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the stock mini battery. Be careful when changing the components and the gun’s wires because you should take into consideration the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. Ask a qualified gun specialist at your local airsoft store if you have modding problems.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me?
Choosing the best airsoft sidearm for you depends upon your budget, how often you plan to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. Take a look at a green gas blowback pistol or AEG handgun if you have $100 or more to invest on your airsoft handgun. These guns are usually the best of the best, have the very best efficiency, and could be a good airsoft gun to invest in. Look into a CO2 handgun or more affordable green gas GBB pistol if you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to put towards an airsoft gun purchase. Mid-tier guns like these will still do the job and are pretty tough sidearms. Look for a low end CO2 or spring pistol if you have less than $50. You can still buy a sturdy airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
