Airsoft Pistol Style Info
Find info about airsoft handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best handgun and practicing with it can make a big difference in hitting your shots. Sidearms, naturally, are diminished range airsoft weapons. They are typically constructed after real-world sidearms or reproductions of legitimate handguns. A large number of airsoft sidearms are fully certified reproductions of their real world gun equivalents. These airsoft guns can look and feel and handle in the same ways similarly to the real guns they are designed around while blasting airsoft BBs instead of real-world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these types of sidearms have negatives and positives connected with them. Learning about the varieties of airsoft pistols allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most resilient and popular kinds of handguns. They are all weather handguns and work well in many types of varying temperatures, weather and environments. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is usually held in the gun’s magazine in the handle.
These styles of airsoft weapons are exceptional for airsoft games in cold and snowy weather conditions because the pressurized CO2 gas is less vulnerable to performance decreases with low temperatures. This offers good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for example where other varieties of guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely shoot pellets.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a shiny metallic cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, but when they are opened (firing them in an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if the cylinders are kept sealed. They have the supplier’s use by date normally marked on the package or cylinder, however they may last for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, but they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is virtually the very same as CO2 handguns with the guns at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stored in the pistol’s mag and can commonly hold between 15 to 20+ BBs depending upon the gun style. A set of valves, silicone gaskets, and seals keep the green gas pressurized in the magazine up to when the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great plan to refill and top off the green gas supply in the pistol mag each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding players can also carry excess bottles of propane in the field for reloading between breaks in the battle or between missions.
When running a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or main gun, bringing additional mags is highly recommended for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional mags on-hand helps you reengage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are usually not approved to be used during indoor game play. This is a safety standard due to the close quarters distance of gamers during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB lower compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. To start with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns operate like an authentic pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. When a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. This cycling is extremely cool, however the GBB handguns frequently are more expensive and likely have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns have a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback weapons commonly cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane is held in the handgun magazine by using rubber o-rings, seals, and silicone gaskets, cold temperatures can affect these o-rings and allow the stored gas to leak out before shooting. This lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this issue is to try to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by putting them close to your body prior to game play. This can help to warm the seals and valves and help to seal in the green gas. It can also be worth buying a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun if you actually need to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and these guns shoot much better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Info
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs that propel the BBs out of the gun’s barrel. The manual action of reloading, cocking, and shooting spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB guns.
Spring guns perform the best in springer wars where players can only use similar, single shot spring weapons or as a transition backup gun for CQB settings when you can often surprise other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast second follow-up shot will not be really needed due to the fact that the other player is already hit by the first BB and out of the game or moving back to respawn. Take care when fighting multiple players considering the spring weapon only shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring guns are really useful under the proper circumstances and airsoft games. Their FPS normally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These guns generally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the pitched springs are less powerful than other kinds of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring handguns can generally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to hit targets accurately reduces quickly. Shooting conventional 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a range of around 60 to 80 feet or less with heightened precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to use as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They function similar to an AEG gun and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines generally can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to around 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 handgun quality has actually risen substantially recently. The initial gens were a bit unreliable and sketchy, but the latest models have the deficiencies resolved and make efficient airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further modded with maximized magazine capacities in addition to accommodating larger batteries.
A significant advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the adapters to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG handgun type, you can gain a big jump in functionality by taking advantage of a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me?
If you have over $100 to use to buy your airsoft pistol, take a look at a GBB pistol or automatic electric handgun. If you have around $50 to $100 to spend, evaluate a good quality CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB handgun. You can still find a durable airsoft handgun by checking out lower end pistols and by shopping for used pistols if you are looking for a deal.
