Information About the Designs of Airsoft Pistols
Find out about airsoft handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the ideal pistol can make a big difference in aiming your shots. Handguns, by nature, are much shorter range airsoft weapons. They are frequently produced after genuine sidearms or copies of actual handguns. Lots of airsoft pistols are completely certified editions of their real-world gun counterparts. These airsoft guns can look and feel and function (without shooting bullets) in the same ways similarly to the real guns they are designed after while firing airsoft BBs instead of real-world bullets.
There are several types of airsoft handguns including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these forms of sidearms have negatives and positives related to them. Learning more about the kinds of airsoft pistols allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most sturdy and common types of pistols. These pistols use CO2 stored in small cylinders to push airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These styles of airsoft handguns are great for playing airsoft in cold and snowy weather because the compressed CO2 gas is less sensitive to performance decreases caused by temperature. This fact offers good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other types of airsoft guns like green gas cease to operate or hardly shoot BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a metallic cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas consisting of 1 carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cartridge cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can commonly purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely and securely within, but the moment they are punctured (firing them in an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are not used up. You should try to consume the entire CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra 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 gun stops cycling.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if the cylinders are kept sealed. They come with a supplier’s best used by date typically noted on the box or cylinder, but they will likely last for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistol Info
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, but they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is almost the very same as CO2 handguns with the weapons at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stored in the handgun’s grip within the mag which can typically hold around 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending on the gun style. A bunch of valves, rubberized stoppers, and o-rings keep the propane gas pressurized in the mag up to the point the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great idea to top off and refill your green gas reserves in the pistol mag each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can even bring excess bottles of green gas or propane in the field for reloading mags between breaks in the war or in-between game play.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a secondary or main gun, bringing extra pistol mags is recommended for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra magazines on-hand allows you to re-engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not authorized to be used during indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety regulation because of the close quarters proximity of gamers during shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy propelling 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 2 different types of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Because the green gas or propane gas is housed in the handgun magazine by using rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, cold weather can negatively impact these seals and cause the stored gas to leak out before shooting the handgun. The lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just land a number of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the green gas pistol would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One solution to this challenge is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them near your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to heat up the rubber seals and better seal in the green gas. If you honestly want to have fun with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold, it can also be worth buying a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun shoots better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Details
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful coil springs that fire the airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are normally able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual action of firing, cocking, and reloading spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When going up against enemies on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry like fully auto airsoft AEG SMGs, assault rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols, this makes them enjoyable to use, but less effective.
Spring sidearms and guns work best in springer wars where opponents can exclusively use related, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters backup weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick second follow-up shot will not be called for given that the other person is now hit by the first shot and out of the game play or running back to respawn. Be careful when engaging many different foes due to the fact that the gun only shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring pistols are extremely useful under the proper game conditions. Spring guns like pistols can normally shoot accurately up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs however accuracy decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They operate much like an AEG gun and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags usually hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns 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 actually risen considerably in the last few years. The first generation AEP guns were a bit sketchy and undependable, but the newer models have the issues worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be modified with maximized magazine capacities and by accommodating bigger batteries.
A big advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the adapters to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you can gain a big increase in functionality by employing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Play with?
Picking out the best airsoft handgun for you depends on your budget, how often you wish to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. Look into a green gas blowback pistol or AEP pistol if you have $100 or more to spend on your airsoft handgun. These kinds of guns are normally the top-tier guns, have the very best build qualities, and are usually a really good handgun to buy. Take a look at a CO2 pistol or less costly GBB pistol if you have about fifty to one-hundred dollars to put towards an airsoft gun purchase. These guns will still finish the job and are pretty sturdy sidearms. Look for a low end CO2 or spring handgun if you have fifty dollars or less. You can still buy a sturdy airsoft handgun to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
