Information on Airsoft Handgun Varieties
Find information about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as extra weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft pistols are completely licensed variations of their genuine gun counterparts and look and operate in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a few kinds of airsoft handguns including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these forms of pistols come with negatives and positives related to them. Learning about the varieties of airsoft sidearms lets you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most dependable and typical types of handguns. They are all weather guns and operate well in lots of types of weather conditions and environments. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is typically kept in the gun’s magazine inside the handle.
These kinds of airsoft handguns are good choices for playing airsoft in cold and snowy weather conditions due to the fact that the compressed CO2 gas is less sensitive to performance decreases caused by low temperature. This provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for example where other types of sidearms like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire airsoft BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas comprised of just one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cylinders are not reusable and you can typically order them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely within, but soon after they are punctured (shooting them in an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are not expended. You must try to run through the whole CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas if the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level sign on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the handgun stops firing airsoft BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They come with a manufacturer’s expiration date typically noted on the package or cylinder, but they will likely survive for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, but they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is practically the very same as CO2 pistols with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the handgun’s mag which can typically hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the pistol design. A set of valves, rubber stoppers, and seals keep the gas sealed in the magazine up to the point the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a good plan to refill and top off your green gas in the mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding gamers can also bring extra bottles of green gas or propane in the field for refilling mags between lulls in the fight or between game play.
When running a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a main or secondary gun, bringing additional mags is strongly recommended for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra mags on-hand allows you to re engage in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not allowed to be used during indoor gameplay. This is a safety standard because of the close range proximity of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different styles of green gas airsoft pistols. To begin with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns function like a legitimate handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. Each time a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. The result is really cool, however the weapons typically cost more and potentially have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns have a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback handguns generally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two types of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Since the green gas or propane gas is housed in the mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temperatures can affect these seals and cause the stored gas to escape prior to shooting the handgun. This can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a number of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would usually shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One solution to this issue is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by placing them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket just before game play starts. If you absolutely need to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 style of your preferred pistol.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that propel the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual functions of firing, cocking, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns.
Spring pistols work the best in springer battles where game players can only use comparable, single shot spring handguns or as an alternative backup weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast 2nd follow-up shot isn’t called for because the other player is already hit by the first shot and out of the game or moving back to respawn. When engaging many different opponents since the spring gun simply fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring guns are extremely useful under the appropriate circumstances and airsoft games. Their FPS typically chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These pistols normally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs since the pitched springs are less powerful than other kinds of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring handguns can usually be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however precision diminishes rapidly. Shooting regular 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet or less with increased accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Information
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to bring into the field as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They operate much like an AEG SMG and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol mags usually store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram 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 magazines to maintain the ammo supply and the battery maintains its charge that long. These pistols can precisely fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually grown substantially recently. The early generation AEP guns were a little bit sketchy and unreliable, however the more recent versions have most of the deficiencies worked out and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further upgraded with maximized mag capacities together with accommodating bigger batteries.
A large benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capacity to rewire the connectors to use a more substantial battery with longer life. Based on the AEG pistol design, you may be able to get a substantial jump in functionality by utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as opposed to the standard AEP battery. Take care of tweaking the parts and wires since you have to take into consideration the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. If you have customization concerns, ask a qualified professional airsoft gun tech at your closest airsoft shop or store.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have $100 or more to use to buy your airsoft handgun, you may want to consider a green gas blowback pistol or AEG pistol. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend, look at a CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB handgun. You can still look for a durable airsoft pistol by checking out cheaper pistols and by shopping for used pistols if you are on a budget.
