Airsoft Handgun Variety Additional Info
Learn about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as extra guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A large number of airsoft pistols are fully manufactured editions of their real weapon counterparts and operate and appear in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a few types of airsoft pistols including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these varieties of pistols have benefits and differences connected with them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft pistols helps you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most standard and heavy duty types of handguns. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These forms of airsoft guns are very good for airsoft games in cold and snowy weather conditions given that the compressed CO2 gas is less prone to variation caused by low temperature. This fact provides very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for example where other kinds of sidearms like green gas cease to function or hardly shoot pellets.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas made up of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, however soon after they are opened (firing them in an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) they will start 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 additional gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are kept sealed. They do have the supplier’s use by date normally marked on the box or cylinder, however they may stay pressurized for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, but they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is virtually the very same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is kept in the handgun’s airsoft magazine that can commonly hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol model. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas stored in the mag till the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When bringing a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a main or backup weapon, additional mags are recommended for rapidly reloading. Having additional mags allows you to re-engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles and full-sized AEGs are generally not approved to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety standard due to the close quarters distance of players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas typically can be used extremely well on the airsoft field, it does have constraints. When they are used throughout the winter playing in the snow or in colder temps (like below 32 degrees F). Since the green gas or propane is stored in the magazine using silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, the cold can affect these seals and cause the stored gas to escape before shooting. This can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would normally shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One option to this issue is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them next to your body or by a heater before game play starts. If you truly desire to play with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Info
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs that shoot the BBs out of the pistol barrel. The manual actions of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB guns.
Spring guns work most effectively in springer wars where players can just use comparable, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a rapid 2nd follow-up shot is not called for considering that the other person is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. When engaging numerous enemies because the springer only shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring pistols are really useful under the appropriate conditions. Their FPS commonly chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These pistols normally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the springs are less effective than other types of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring pistols can usually be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets is reduced quickly. Shooting basic 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a decreased shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet or less with enhanced precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to carry as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They function just like an AEG rifle and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines typically can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute assuming you have enough spare magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery maintains its charge that long. These AEP pistols can efficiently fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has grown significantly recently. The first generations were a bit questionable and undependable, but the latest versions have the issues worked out and make reliable airsoft backup guns. They can be modified with maximized mag storage capacities and also accommodating bigger batteries.
A big benefit of buying an AEG handgun is that you have the opportunity to rewire the battery wires to use a bigger battery with higher mAh. Depending on the AEG handgun model, you may be able to gain a sizable boost in efficiency by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the standard AEP battery. Take extra precautions when adjusting the components and wires because you should take into account the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. If you have modding concerns, ask an experienced gun tech at your closest airsoft shop or store.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, take a look at a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric pistol. If you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to shell out, look at a good quality CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB handgun. You can still get a durable airsoft handgun by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with other players in the used gun market if you are on a budget.
