Airsoft Pistol Design Information
Learn about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft pistols are completely manufactured models of their genuine pistol equivalents and function and look in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these kinds of handguns come with negatives and positives associated with them. Learning more about the types of airsoft sidearms allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most resilient and standard types of pistols. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These styles of airsoft handguns are great for playing in cold weather since the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to variation with low temperatures. This fact offers excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for instance where other kinds of airsoft handguns like green gas stop operating or barely shoot BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny steel cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas consisting of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, therefore the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridges under very high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
The CO2 cartridge cylinders are not multiple-use and you can usually buy them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but when they are opened (firing them in an airsoft handgun breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You ought to try to expend the entire CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some handgun target practice and expend the remainder of the additional gas. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the pistol stops firing.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are stored sealed. They are made with the supplier’s expiry date usually printed on the package or cartridge, however, they will likely maintain pressure for a long time past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft sidearms resemble CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane for propellant to fire the airsoft BBs. The result on gameplay and green gas weapon operation is essentially the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and can accurately hit targets at short to mid-range proximities.
The propane gas is stashed in the handgun’s airsoft mag that can often hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the pistol model. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the gas pressurized in the mag up until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When playing with a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a main or backup gun, bringing extra mags is encouraged for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional mags allows you to reengage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not authorized to be used during indoor engagements. This is an essential safety regulation because of the close range proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various styles of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Because the green gas or propane is held in the handgun magazine by rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, cold temperatures can impact these seals and cause the stored gas to leak out before shooting the pistol. This lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One strategy to this problem is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them next to your body before the airsoft game play. If you absolutely want to play with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun.
Details About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that propel the BBs out of the gun barrel. The manual action of reloading, cocking, and firing spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns.
Spring sidearms work the best in springer battles where participants can exclusively use comparable, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters weapon for CQB environments when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick second followup shot isn’t called for due to the fact that the other player is already struck and out of the game or heading back to respawn. When engaging multiple enemies since the spring gun simply fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring guns are quite efficient under the right game conditions. Their FPS usually chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons generally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft weapons. Spring guns can typically shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to hit targets decreases quickly. Shooting basic 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a decreased shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet with enhanced accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Facts
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring into the field as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They work much like an AEG SMG and use pressurized air with electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun magazines typically hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has risen substantially in the last few years. The early generation AEP guns were a bit questionable and undependable, but the more recent models have most of the bugs worked out and make reliable airsoft backup guns. They can be modded with maximized mag storage capacities together with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A huge benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the connectors to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can gain a substantial increase in functionality by taking advantage of a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Buy?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, check out a GBB handgun or automatic electric handgun. If you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to upgrade your gun, review a CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB handgun. You can still play with a durable airsoft pistol by checking out cheaper pistols and by shopping for used guns if you are on a budget.
