Info About the Styles of Airsoft Handguns
Learn more about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the right pistol and practicing with it can be a game changer in nailing your shots. Pistols, by nature, are diminished range airsoft guns. They are usually designed after actual guns or reproductions of actual handguns. Many airsoft handguns are completely certified models of their real-world pistol equivalents. These airsoft guns can function (without shooting bullets) in the same ways and appear almost identically to the real guns they are modeled around while blasting airsoft BBs in place of authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these kinds of handguns have benefits and differences associated with them. Finding out about the types of airsoft pistols helps you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most typical and sturdy styles of pistols. They are all season, all weather guns and function well in many kinds of varying temperatures, weather and climates. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge is normally kept in the pistol’s magazine inside the handle.
These forms of airsoft pistols are very good for airsoft games in colder weather due to the fact that the pressurized CO2 gas is less prone to performance decreases with low temperatures. This provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other types of pistols like green gas cease to function or hardly shoot BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a chrome cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas composed of one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however once they are opened (firing them in an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft matches 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.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They come with a supplier’s expiry date normally listed on the box or cylinder, however, they may stay pressurized for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 guns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel 6mm airsoft BBs. The effect on gameplay and green gas sidearm effectiveness is almost the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS. Shots are rapidly fired in automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and can accurately hit targets at shorter to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s mag which can commonly hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the pistol design. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas stored in the magazine up until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When using a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a secondary or primary weapon, extra magazines are encouraged for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra mags on-hand allows you to get back in the action during firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles and full-sized AEGs are generally not enabled to be used for indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety rule because of the close range distance of players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB lower compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various types of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Because the green gas or propane is stored in the mag using rubber seals and silicone gaskets, cold weather can negatively influence these o-rings and cause the gas to leak out prior to shooting the pistol. This lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to simply land a few feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would typically shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One option to fix this problem is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by positioning them close to your body before game play. This can help to heat up the seals and better seal in the green gas. If you definitely prefer to have fun with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold, it may also be worth buying a CO2 version of your favorite pistol. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and perform far better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful springs that launch the airsoft BBs down the gun barrel. They are usually single-shot. The manual functioning of reloading, cocking, and shooting spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes spring airsoft guns enjoyable to use, yet they can be less effective when dealing with rivals on the airsoft field with advanced guns like automatic airsoft AEG assault rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring airsoft guns work most effectively in springer wars where players can only use similar, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters weapon for CQB settings when you can frequently surprise other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick second follow-up shot isn’t really needed considering that the other person is now struck and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. When engaging multiple adversaries given that the spring airsoft gun just shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring guns are extremely effective under the appropriate scenarios and airsoft games. Their FPS normally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12g airsoft BBs. These pistols usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the pitched springs are less effective than other styles of airsoft guns. Spring handguns can usually engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to hit targets accurately decreases rapidly. Choosing conventional 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet or less with heightened accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Information
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to carry as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They operate similar to an AEG SMG and use forced air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol mags usually can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has risen substantially over the last few years. The earliest gen guns were a bit unreliable and sketchy, however the more recent versions have most of the deficiencies worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be upgraded with increased mag storage capacities as well as accommodating more powerful batteries.
A significant perk of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the opportunity to rewire the connections to use a bigger battery. Depending upon the AEG pistol style, you may be able to gain a large leap in performance and fire rate utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) in place of the standard battery. Beware of tweaking the components and wires since you must take into account the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. Ask an experienced gun tech at your closest airsoft shop or store if you have modding problems.
What Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Buy?
Choosing the best airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you can afford, how often you would like to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. Check out a green gas blowback handgun or AEG handgun if you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol. These are typically the best of the best, have the most effective efficiency, and are usually a really good investment. If you can afford about $50 to $100 to spend on upgrading your airsoft arsenal, look at a CO2 pistol or a cheaper green gas handgun. Middle of the road guns like these will still work well and are pretty resilient sidearms. Look for a low end CO2 or spring pistol if you have less than $50. You can still find a tough airsoft pistol to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
