About Airsoft Pistol Designs
Learn about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as backup weapons or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft handguns are completely accredited variations of their genuine pistol counterparts and run and appear in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than actual bullets.
There are a few varieties of airsoft sidearms consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these styles of handguns have positives and negatives related to them. Learning about the varieties of airsoft handguns lets you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most standard and sturdy types of handguns. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These styles of airsoft handguns are great choices for airsoft games in cold weather given that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to performance decreases with temperature levels. This provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other varieties of handguns like green gas cease to function or hardly shoot BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas comprised of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cylinders are not refillable and you can commonly order them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas securely inside, once they are punctured (shooting them in an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) the cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not expended. You need to try to deplete the whole CO2 cartridge the exact 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 games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level sign on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the handgun stops cycling.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have a manufacturer’s use by date typically noted on the box or cartridge, however they will stay pressurized for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handgun Facts
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, but they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the exact same as CO2 handguns with the weapons at around 300+ FPS.
The propane is stored in the pistol’s airsoft magazine that can often hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the handgun model. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas pressurized in the mag before the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When running a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a backup or primary weapon, bringing extra magazines is recommended for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional mags on-hand helps you reengage in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not authorized to be used for indoor game play. This is an essential safety guideline because of the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists 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 handguns use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas typically works very well on the airsoft field, it does have limitations. This includes when green gas guns are used throughout the winter airsoft season in the snow or in cold weather (like less than 32 deg F). Considering that the green gas or propane gas is held in the magazine using rubber seals and gaskets, cold temperatures can impact these seals and cause the stored gas to seep out before shooting airsoft BBs. This can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would typically shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One fix for this issue is to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by putting them next to your body before airsoft game play. This can help to heat up the seals and valves and help to seal in the green gas. It can also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun if you truly want to play airsoft with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and these guns shoot better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Information
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that launch the BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are usually single-shot. The manual functions of cocking, reloading, and firing spring pistols makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes spring guns fun to use, yet they can be less practical when taking on players on the airsoft field with upgraded airsoft guns like auto airsoft AEG assault rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring pistols work best in springer wars where participants can only use related, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB environments when you can often sneak up to other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick 2nd follow-up shot isn’t required due to the fact that the other opponent is now struck and out of the game play or going back to respawn. Beware when fighting a number of adversaries considering that the gun only fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring guns are remarkably efficient under the proper conditions during airsoft games. Their FPS normally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These guns generally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the pitched springs are less powerful than other kinds of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring guns can normally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets reduces rapidly. Using regular 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet or less with heightened accuracy.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring into the field as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They work just like an AEG rifle and use pressurized air with electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun mags normally can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually risen significantly in the last few years. The first generation guns were a little bit questionable and unreliable, however the newer models have the deficiencies resolved and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modified with increased magazine storage capacities and also accommodating larger batteries.
A substantial perk of buying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the battery wires to use a bigger battery with higher mAh. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you can gain a large leap in functionality utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the standard AEP battery. Beware of adjusting the parts and wires because you must take into account the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. If you have customization questions, ask a qualified professional weapon service tech at your closest airsoft shop.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Play with?
Picking out the most ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you can afford, how much you desire to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. Consider a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric AEP pistol if you have over $100 to invest on your airsoft handgun. These guns are typically the best of the best, have good build qualities, and can be a really good sidearm to buy. If you can afford around fifty to one-hundred dollars to use for your gun, look at a CO2 pistol or a cheaper green gas handgun. Mid-tier guns like these will still be fun to play with and are pretty durable sidearms. Look for a cheaper CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still find a long lasting airsoft handgun to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
