Airsoft Handgun Type Information
Find information about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal sidearm and practicing with it can make a big difference in nailing your shots. Sidearms, naturally, are shorter range airsoft guns. They are quite often produced after real-world handguns or reproductions of real pistols. Many airsoft sidearms are fully licensed versions of their actual pistol equivalents. These airsoft guns can look and function (sans shooting bullets) in the same ways almost identically to the real guns they are designed after while shooting airsoft BBs as opposed to actual bullets.
There are a number of types of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these forms of sidearms come with negatives and positives associated with them. Learning about the varieties of airsoft sidearms allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most heavy-duty and typical kinds of handguns. They are all season, all weather weapons and function well in lots of types of varying temperatures, weather and climates. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is usually stored in the handgun’s handle.
These types of airsoft guns are good choices for playing airsoft in cooler weather conditions because the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to FPS decreases with low temperatures. This fact gives CO2 airsoft pistols great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other sorts of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop working or barely fire airsoft BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a shiny steel cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas consisting of one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, thus the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridges under very high pressure of around ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but as soon as they are opened (firing them in an airsoft weapon breaks the 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 chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have the supplier’s best used by date typically listed on the package or cylinder, however, they will probably stay pressurized for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols function similarly to CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot the airsoft BBs. The outcome on game play and green gas sidearm performance is virtually the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ FPS. Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at very short to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is held in the handgun’s mag which can frequently hold roughly 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol design. A series of valves, silicone gaskets, and seals keep the gas housed in the pistol mag up to when the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great habit to fill up and top off the green gas reserves in your magazine each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can also carry supplemental bottles of green gas in the field for refilling magazines between breaks in the battle or in-between game play.
When playing with a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or main gun, bringing extra mags is recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra magazines on-hand allows you to reengage in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not enabled to be used during indoor engagements. This is an essential safety rule due to the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB at a lower level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various sorts of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas usually works extremely well, it does have limits. When green gas and GBB guns are used over the winter season in the snow or in cold temps (like below 32 degrees F). Given that the green gas or propane gas is held in the weapon’s mag using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, the cold can negatively impact the seals and make the stored gas to leak out before shooting. This can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot several feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would typically shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One strategy to this problem is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by putting them next to your body or near a heat source before game play. If you absolutely need to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite pistol.
About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful springs that propel the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual functions of reloading, cocking, and firing spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols.
Spring sidearms and guns work the best in springer battles where players can exclusively use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a transitional backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast second follow-up shot will not be required since the other person is now hit and out of the game play or running back to respawn. Look out when attacking a number of adversaries since the weapon only fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring handguns are remarkably effective under the best conditions during games. Their FPS commonly chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These pistols normally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the springs are less powerful than other kinds of airsoft weapons. Spring handguns can typically shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to engage targets accurately is reduced quickly. Shooting basic 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a reduced range of about 60 to 80 feet with enhanced accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Facts
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to carry as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s handle. They work just like an AEG SMG and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines normally carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs as high as about 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare mags to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery lasts that long. These AEP handguns can effectively shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has risen considerably in the last few years. The early generation guns were a little bit questionable and unreliable, however the new designs have the bugs worked out and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modified with enhanced magazine storage capacities and also accommodating larger batteries.
A huge perk of buying an AEG handgun is that you have the capacity to rewire the battery connectors to use an enhanced battery. Depending on the AEG handgun model, you can get a substantial output in performance and fire rate utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the stock AEP battery. Be careful when adjusting the parts and the gun’s wires since you have to take into account the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. If you have customization questions, ask a qualified weapon specialist at your nearest airsoft store or shop.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Play with?
Picking out the most ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends upon how much you want to spend, how often you want to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. Look into a green gas blowback handgun or AEG handgun if you have more than one-hundred dollars to invest on your airsoft handgun. These kinds of guns are normally the best of the best, have the most effective build qualities, and could be a good gun to invest in. If you have between more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to spend, have a look at a CO2 pistol or cheaper green gas handgun. Mid-tier guns like these will still be fun to play with and are tough sidearms. Look for a low end CO2 or spring pistol if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still buy a sturdy airsoft pistol to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
