Airsoft Handgun Type Information
Learn about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft pistols are fully approved and licensed versions of their actual handgun equivalents and look and run in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these varieties of sidearms has benefits and differences associated with them. Learning about the varieties of airsoft sidearms allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most long-lasting and typical types of pistols. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These forms of airsoft weapons are exceptional for playing airsoft in cold and snowy weather due to the fact that the compressed CO2 gas is less prone to variation with temperature. This provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other types of airsoft handguns like green gas cease to function or hardly shoot pellets.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a chrome metal cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas made up of one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, as a result the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under very high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cartridges cannot be refilled and you can typically buy them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely and securely within, but when they are opened (firing them in an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You must try to dissipate the whole CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas leftover, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and expend the remaining excess gas. There is no gas level gauge on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the handgun stops cycling.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They are made with the supplier’s best used by date typically marked on the package or cylinder, however they can maintain pressure for an extended time past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols function similarly to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel 6mm airsoft pellets. The operational impact on airsoft games and green gas weapon operation is almost the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and accurate at short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is kept in the pistol’s magazine which can typically hold roughly 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending on the handgun design. A bunch of valves, silicone gaskets, and seals keep the gas stored in the magazine till the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a great habit to refill and top off the green gas supply in your magazine each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can even carry excess bottles of propane in the field for reloading magazines in-between lulls in the war or between game play.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a secondary or primary weapon, extra handgun mags are suggested for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional magazines on-hand helps you join in the action during firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not permitted to be used during indoor engagements. This is an essential safety regulation because of the close range proximity of gamers during shooting engagements. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different varieties of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas normally works effectively on the airsoft field, it does have drawbacks. This includes when green gas guns are played with during the winter in the snow or in colder weather (like less than 32 deg F). Because the green gas or propane gas is held in the mag using silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively impact these seals and make the stored gas to leak out prior to firing the pistol. This can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would typically shoot BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather).
One solution to this issue is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by positioning them next to your body or near a heat source prior to game play starts. If you absolutely want to play with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun.
Details About Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful springs that fire the BBs out of the gun’s barrel. The manual action of reloading, cocking, and firing spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols.
Spring pistols work best in springer wars where participants can solely use similar, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters backup gun for CQB settings when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick second follow-up shot isn’t called for since the other opponent is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game play or running back to respawn. When engaging a number of opponents because the spring gun just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring handguns are very reliable under the proper game conditions. Spring guns can commonly shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to engage targets reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Info
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to bring as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They function much like an AEG rifle and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun magazines typically hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs right up to about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute assuming you have enough magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 rounds) and the battery lasts that long. These AEP handguns can effectively fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually increased substantially over the last few years. The initial generation guns were a little bit sketchy and unreliable, but the newer models have most of the issues resolved and make efficient airsoft secondary weapons. They can be modified with increased magazine storage capacities together with accommodating larger batteries.
A significant advantage of buying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the connectors to use a larger battery with longer life. Based on the AEG pistol version, you are able to gain a large output in functionality by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) in place of the standard battery. Beware of tweaking the components and the gun’s wires because you must think about the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. If you have customization concerns, ask a qualified airsoft tech at your local airsoft shop.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have $100 or more to spend on your airsoft handgun, you may want to consider a GBB handgun or automatic electric pistol. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to shell out, look at a good quality CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB handgun. You can still get a resilient airsoft pistol by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft handguns if you are on a budget.
