Airsoft Handgun Design Information
Learn more about airsoft guns like pistols and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the best pistol can make a big difference in hitting your shots. Handguns, naturally, are short range airsoft guns. They are commonly fashioned after genuine pistols or replications of authentic handguns. Numerous airsoft sidearms are completely certified models of their real world handgun equivalents. These airsoft guns can visually look and operate in the same ways identically to the real guns they are modeled after while shooting airsoft BBs rather than actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these varieties of handguns have negatives and positives related to them. Learning about the styles of airsoft pistols allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most resilient and popular types of sidearms. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These forms of airsoft handguns are exceptional for playing airsoft in colder temperatures due to the fact that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to variation with temperature levels. This offers very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other styles of pistols like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely fire BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a metal cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas made up of a single carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, consequently the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under extremely high pressure of about ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 cylinders are not reusable and you can typically buy them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely inside, but the moment they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not used up. You need to attempt to deplete the whole CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the handgun stops firing airsoft BBs.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are kept sealed. They do have a supplier’s expiry date typically marked on the package or cartridge, however they may stay pressurized for an extended time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols resemble CO2 guns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel the airsoft BBs. The result on gameplay and green gas handgun operation is virtually the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic shooting modes and precisely hit targets at short to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is kept in the handgun’s grip within the magazine and can typically hold between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs based on the gun model. A series of valves, rubber stoppers, and seals keep the propane stored in the mag until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great plan to top off and fill up your propane reserves in your pistol mag each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding players can also carry additional bottles of green gas in the field for refilling magazines between lulls in the battle or in-between games.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or main gun, extra pistol mags are strongly recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra mags allows you to reengage 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 great for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not enabled to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety rule because of the close range distance of gamers during the shooting engagements. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. First there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols work like an actual handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” with every shot. The gas induces the slide to cycle each time a fresh airsoft BB is chambered. This functionality is extremely cool, but the GBB guns typically cost more and likely have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns typically cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two types of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Because the green gas or propane gas is housed in the magazine by rubber seals and silicone gaskets, cold weather can impact these seals and allow the stored gas to leak out prior to shooting the handgun. This lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely land a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the green gas pistol would normally shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One fix for this problem is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by putting them inside your jacket next to your body just before the game play. This can help to warm the seals and better seal in the green gas. It can also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun if you really prefer to play airsoft with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun will shoot better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by strong coil springs that fire the airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. They are typically only able to shoot one BB. The manual action of reloading, firing, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. This makes spring airsoft pistols enjoyable to use, yet they can be less efficient when confronting foes on the airsoft field with advanced guns like auto airsoft AEG rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring handguns work the best in springer wars where opponents can only use comparable, single shot spring handguns or as a transition weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast second follow-up shot isn’t required because the other opponent is now hit by the first shot and out of the game or heading back to respawn. When engaging numerous rivals given that the spring airsoft gun only fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring guns are remarkably useful under the best conditions during games. Their FPS normally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These handguns generally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the springs are less effective than other styles of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring guns can usually engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to hit targets decreases quickly. Using normal 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a reduced range of around 60 to 80 feet with improved precision.
About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They function much like an AEG gun and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags normally hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has grown substantially in the last few years. The initial gens were a bit undependable and sketchy, but the new designs have the bugs resolved and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modded with increased magazine capacities in addition to accommodating larger batteries.
A substantial advantage of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the connections to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun type, you can gain a substantial jump in functionality by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Buy?
Choosing the right airsoft pistol for you depends on your gun budget, how often you would like to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. Take a look at a GBB pistol or AEP pistol if you have more than $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol. These guns are normally the top of the line, have the greatest build qualities, and can be an excellent pistol to purchase. If you have in-between more than $50 but less than $100 to spend on upgrading your airsoft arsenal, have a look at a CO2 pistol or a second-tier GBB handgun. These mid-tier guns will still finish the job and are sturdy sidearms. If you have less than fifty dollars, consider a cheaper CO2 or springer handgun. You can still buy a dependable airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
