Information on Airsoft Handgun Designs
Learn about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft pistols are completely manufactured and licensed models of their authentic firearm equivalents and look and run in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these varieties of handguns has negatives and positives related to them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft pistols lets you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearm Details
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most popular and long lasting styles of pistols. They are all season, all weather guns and operate well in a lot of types of weather conditions and climates. These sidearms use pressurized CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge is usually located in the gun’s mag inside the handle.
These types of airsoft weapons are exceptional for airsoft games in cold weather considering that the compressed CO2 gas is less prone to performance variations by temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft handguns good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other types of airsoft sidearms like green gas cease to function or barely shoot BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a metal cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas consisting of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, however once they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft pistol 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 handgun target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have the maker’s expiration date usually listed on the box or cartridge cylinder, however they will probably survive for a long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 pistols, however they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the same as CO2 handguns with the guns at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s mag and can frequently hold between 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs based on the handgun model. A sequence of valves, silicone stoppers, and o-rings keep the gas housed in the pistol magazine up to when the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great habit to top off and refill the green gas reserves in the pistol mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can even carry additional bottles of green gas in the field for reloading magazines in-between lulls in the fight or between gameplay.
When running a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or main weapon, extra magazines are encouraged for quickly reloading. Having additional magazines allows you to get back in the action during firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields given that long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not approved to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety standard because of the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy sending the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various sorts of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas usually works extremely well, it does have drawbacks. This includes when green gas guns are played with in the winter in the snow or in colder temperatures (like less than 32 deg F). Considering that the green gas or propane gas is held in the weapon’s magazine by rubber seals and gaskets, the cold can affect these seals and allow the gas to escape before firing the pistol. The depressurized gas can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One fix for this problem is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by positioning them inside your jacket next to your body prior to game play. This can help to warm up the rubber gaskets and help to seal in the green gas. It can also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun if you really need to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun will shoot better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Facts
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful coil springs that propel the airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. They are usually only able to shoot one BB. The manual functioning of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring airsoft guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. When going up against other airsoft players on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry, auto airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns, this makes them enjoyable to use, but less effective.
Spring pistols work best in springer wars where airsoft players can only use similar, single shot spring guns or as a transition backup gun for CQB environments when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid second followup shot will not be called for due to the fact that the other opponent is now hit and out of the game or running back to respawn. Take care when attacking many different enemies because the spring gun just shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring guns are very efficient under the most ideal conditions during airsoft games. Spring guns like pistols can commonly shoot up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs however accuracy decreases quickly.
About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to carry as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They function just like an AEG rifle and use pressurized air with electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags typically can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually risen significantly in the last few years. The early generation AEP guns were a bit questionable and unreliable, but the newer designs have the issues resolved and make effective airsoft backup guns. They can be upgraded with maximized mag capacities along with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A huge advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you can get a huge increase in efficiency by using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Play with?
Choosing the right airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you want to spend, how often you want to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. Check out a green gas blowback handgun or automatic electric AEP handgun if you have $100 or more to invest on your airsoft pistol. These kinds of pistols are normally the top of the line, have the most effective performance, and could be an excellent gun to get. Consider a CO2 handgun or less costly green gas GBB pistol if you have about more than $50 but less than $100 to put towards an airsoft gun purchase. Mid-tier guns like these will still function well and can be pretty sturdy sidearms. Look for a cheap CO2 or spring pistol if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still buy a well-built airsoft handgun to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
