Info About the Varieties of Airsoft Pistols
Find information about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as extra guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft pistols are completely approved and licensed versions of their actual pistol counterparts and look and operate in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these forms of pistols come with negatives and positives connected with them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft sidearms lets you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most resilient and typical varieties of pistols. They are all-season handguns working well in lots of kinds of extreme temperatures, weather and environments. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is typically located in the pistol’s mag inside the handle.
These styles of airsoft guns are excellent for airsoft games in cold and snowy weather conditions due to the fact that the high pressure CO2 gas is less susceptible to performance variations by low temperature. This fact provides very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other kinds of handguns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly shoot BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny metallic cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 cartridge cylinders are not multiple-use and you can normally buy them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely inside, once they are punctured (shooting them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You ought to attempt to deplete the entire CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and expend the remaining excess gas. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the pistol stops firing airsoft BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have a manufacturer’s expiry date typically marked on the box or cylinder, but they will likely maintain pressure for a long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearm Info
Green gas airsoft handguns function similarly to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot the airsoft BBs. The effect on airsoft games and green gas sidearm efficiency is virtually the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and accurate at short to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is housed in the pistol’s magazine and can often hold roughly 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs based on the gun style. A set of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the green gas sealed in the magazine until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great plan to refill and top off your propane reserves in the pistol mag each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding gamers can additionally bring supplemental bottles of propane gas in the field for refilling between breaks in the war or in-between activities.
When playing with a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a backup or primary weapon, extra handgun magazines are strongly recommended for quickly reloading. Having additional mags on-hand allows you to re engage in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields considering that long guns and full-sized AEGs are usually not permitted to be used for indoor shooting. This is an essential safety guideline because of the close quarters proximity of gamers during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy propelling 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 2 different varieties of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns work like an actual handgun with the slide “blowing back” with every shot. When a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas causes the slide to cycle. This functionality is really cool, but the GBB pistols frequently cost more and potentially have more parts which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns typically cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Because the green gas or propane gas is held in the mag using rubber seals and silicone gaskets, the cold can negatively impact these o-rings and cause the stored gas to leak out prior to shooting the pistol. This lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just land a few feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would normally shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One fix to this issue is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by placing them next to your body or near a heat source prior to game play. If you absolutely desire to play with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold, it might also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Info
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that shoot the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual action of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols.
Spring sidearms perform best in springer battles where participants can solely use related, single shot spring weapons or as a transitional backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can often surprise other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick 2nd followup shot isn’t needed due to the fact that the other player is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game play or headed back to respawn. Be careful when fighting multiple foes because the spring gun just fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring guns are really efficient under the best conditions during airsoft games. Spring handguns can often shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to carry as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They work similar to an AEG gun and use pressurized air pumped through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun mags usually can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough spare mags to maintain the ammo supply and the battery lasts that long. These handguns can effectively shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has increased considerably recently. The earliest gen AEP guns were a little bit unreliable and sketchy, however the newer designs have the problems resolved and make effective airsoft secondary guns. They can be further modified with maximized magazine capacities and by accommodating larger batteries.
A substantial advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the battery connectors to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can gain a big output in efficiency by employing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have over $100 to use to buy your airsoft handgun, check out a green gas blowback handgun or automatic electric pistol. If you have around $50 to $100 to spend, review a good quality CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB handgun. If you have $50 or less, you can still find a durable airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games by checking out lower end pistols and by shopping the used gun market.
