Airsoft Pistol Design Additional Info
Find out about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the right sidearm and practicing with it can make an impact in the accuracy of your shots. Handguns, naturally, are lower range airsoft weapons. They are commonly fashioned after real pistols or replicas of real pistols. Many airsoft sidearms are completely certified models of their authentic weapon counterparts. These airsoft guns can appear and function (sans shooting bullets) in the same ways almost identically to the real guns they are designed after while firing airsoft BBs as opposed to real-world bullets.
There are a few types of airsoft pistols such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these varieties of handguns have negatives and positives associated with them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft pistols helps you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most long-lasting and popular types of handguns. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These styles of airsoft handguns are great choices for playing in cold temperatures since the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance variations by low temperatures. This fact offers very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other sorts of airsoft handguns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a shiny cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas consisting of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cylinders are not reusable and you can commonly purchase them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely and securely within, but once they are punctured (firing them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You ought to try to deplete the whole CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas if the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level gauge on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the pistol stops cycling.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are kept sealed. They come with the supplier’s expiration date usually listed on the box or cartridge, however they can maintain pressure for a prolonged time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft sidearms function similarly to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to fire the airsoft pellets. The outcome on airsoft games and green gas pistol effectiveness is almost the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is sealed in the pistol’s mag and can commonly hold between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending upon the handgun style. A series of valves, rubberized stoppers, and o-rings keep the gas stored in the pistol magazine up to when the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a great idea to top off and fill up the propane supply in your magazine each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding gamers can even take extra bottles of green gas or propane in the field for refilling magazines in-between breaks in the war or in-between missions.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a main or secondary weapon, extra mags are strongly recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional magazines on-hand helps you re-engage in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles and full-sized AEGs are usually not enabled to be used during indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety guideline because of the close range proximity of gamers during shooting engagements. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB at a lower level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different styles of green gas airsoft pistols. To begin with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols work like an actual handgun with the gun’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. Each time a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas causes the slide to cycle. The result is extremely cool, however the GBB weapons usually cost more and likely have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback weapons typically cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane gas is kept in the handgun mag by using rubber o-rings, seals, and silicone gaskets, cold temperatures can impact these seals and allow the gas to leak out prior to shooting the pistol. The lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the GBB handgun would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One option to this problem is to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by placing them next to your body or by a heater before the airsoft game play. If you truly desire to play with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold, it might also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that propel the BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are usually able to only shoot one BB. The manual action of firing, reloading, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. This makes them fun to use, but they are usually less useful when going up against other airsoft players on the airsoft field with upgraded airsoft guns, automatic airsoft AEG rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring handguns perform the best in springer wars where game players can solely use related, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters backup gun for CQB settings when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast 2nd follow-up shot is not needed because the other person is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game or running back to respawn. When engaging a number of attackers considering that the spring gun simply fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring guns are quite efficient under the right scenarios and airsoft games. Spring pistols can often shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however precision reduces quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Facts
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to use as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They operate much like an AEG gun and use forced air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags usually can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has risen considerably in the last few years. The early generation guns were a bit unreliable and questionable, however the more recent designs have the deficiencies resolved and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be improved with maximized magazine storage capacities as well as accommodating larger batteries.
A large perk of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the opportunity to rewire the battery connectors to use an increased capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can get a large boost in efficiency by using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the standard battery. Take care of adjusting the components and the gun’s wires because you must think about the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. If you have modding questions, ask a qualified weapon service tech at your closest airsoft store or shop.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
Looking for the ideal airsoft pistol for you depends upon how much you can afford to spend, how much you intend to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. If you can afford at least one-hundred dollars to invest in your airsoft pistol, look into a green gas blowback handgun or AEP handgun. These guns are normally the best of the best, have the best efficiency, and could be a really good gun to invest in. Look at a CO2 pistol or less costly green gas GBB handgun if you have in-between $50 to $100 to put into an airsoft gun purchase. Mid-tier guns like these will still work well and are pretty durable sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring pistol if you have fifty dollars or less. You can still buy a tough airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games.
