Airsoft Pistol Style Additional Information
Learn about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Numerous airsoft handguns are fully manufactured and licensed versions of their actual gun counterparts and look and run in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these kinds of pistols have negatives and positives related to them. Finding out about the varieties of airsoft pistols allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most durable and typical types of pistols. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These kinds of airsoft guns are good choices for playing airsoft in cooler weather considering that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to variation with low temperature. This offers good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for example where other varieties of handguns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire pellets.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a chrome metal cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas consisting of just one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, therefore the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cylinders under really high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
The CO2 cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can typically buy them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely inside, but the moment they are opened (firing them in an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not used up. You ought to try to use up the whole CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and expend the rest of the additional gas. There is no gas level gauge on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the pistol stops firing BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They have a manufacturer’s expiration date normally marked on the package or cylinder, however they will last for a very long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols resemble CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot the airsoft pellets. The result on the battlefield and green gas handgun performance is essentially the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are efficiently fired in automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can accurately hit targets at short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is stored in the handgun’s mag and can typically hold between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending upon the gun design. A bunch of valves, silicone gaskets, and o-rings keep the propane sealed in the pistol mag till the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good choice to top off and fill up your green gas reserves in the magazine each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can additionally bring surplus bottles of propane gas in the field for reloading mags in-between lulls in the fight or between missions.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup weapon, extra handgun magazines are highly recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra magazines allows you to re-engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are great for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles and full-sized AEGs are usually not allowed to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety rule due to the close range distance of gamers during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns function like an authentic pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. Every time a new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas induces the slide to cycle. The result is really cool, however the pistols usually cost more and likely have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback weapons normally cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same between the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane is housed in the handgun magazine by using rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, the cold can negatively affect these o-rings and cause the stored gas to escape prior to shooting the pistol. The lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just land a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the green gas handgun would normally shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this problem is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them next to your body or by a heater before the airsoft game play starts. If you really want to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold, it may also be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred pistol.
Info on Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong coil springs that launch the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual actions of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring airsoft guns work most effectively in springer wars where airsoft players can exclusively use related, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters combat backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a rapid second follow-up shot is not needed because the other opponent is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game play or moving back to respawn. Be careful when engaging a number of enemies since the springer just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring handguns are incredibly effective under the right conditions. Spring guns can often fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however target accuracy reduces quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to use as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They work just like an AEG SMG and use forced air pumped through electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines generally carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has risen substantially recently. The initial generation guns were a bit questionable and unreliable, but the new designs have the deficiencies worked out and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further modified with increased mag capacities together with accommodating larger batteries.
A substantial advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can get a big increase in efficiency by employing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Buy?
If you have $100 or more to use to buy your airsoft pistol, you may want to consider a GBB pistol or automatic electric pistol. If you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to buy a gun, review a good quality CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB pistol. If you are on a budget, you can still get a hold of a long lasting airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
