Information About Airsoft Pistol Varieties
Find information about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as extra guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft pistols are completely manufactured editions of their genuine handgun equivalents and look and operate in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than actual bullets.
There are a number of kinds of airsoft pistols such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these varieties of handguns have negatives and positives related to them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft handguns helps you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most typical and long lasting types of sidearms. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These forms of airsoft weapons are good choices for airsoft games in cold weather conditions since the high pressure CO2 gas is less prone to performance variations with low temperatures. This gives CO2 airsoft handguns good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for example where other varieties of handguns like green gas cease to function or barely shoot pellets.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a shiny steel cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas made up of a single carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, consequently the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under very high pressure of close to ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but once they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are stored sealed. They do have a supplier’s expiration date usually printed on the package or cartridge cylinder, however, they will last for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft sidearms resemble CO2 guns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel the airsoft pellets. The outcome on game play and green gas weapon effectiveness is virtually the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS. Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and can hit targets at very short to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is sealed in the handgun’s mag which can commonly hold between 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending upon the gun design. A bunch of valves, silicone gaskets, and o-rings keep the propane gas pressurized in the mag up until the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a good habit to fill up and top off the green gas reserves in your pistol mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can even carry additional bottles of green gas or propane in the field for refilling between lulls in the war or between gameplay.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a primary or backup gun, bringing extra pistol mags is highly recommended for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra magazines helps you get back in the action during firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are generally not permitted to be used for indoor engagements. This is a safety rule because of the close quarters distance of players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB at a decreased level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
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 pistols or GBBs. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas usually performs extremely well, it does have drawbacks. When green gas and GBB guns are used throughout the winter season in the snow or in colder temps (like under 32 deg F). Because the green gas or propane is held in the weapon’s magazine using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, low temperatures can affect these seals and allow the stored gas to leak out before shooting airsoft BBs. This can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One fix for this problem is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them close to your body prior to game play. This can help to warm up the seals and better seal in the green gas. It may also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred pistol if you truly need to play airsoft with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun will shoot far better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that send the BBs out of the handgun’s barrel. The manual functions of cocking, reloading, and firing spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring sidearms work most effectively in springer wars where participants can solely use comparable, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can often surprise other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast second follow-up shot will not be required considering that the other player is already hit and out of the game play or heading back to respawn. When engaging numerous enemies given that the spring airsoft gun simply fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring pistols are quite effective under the right circumstances and airsoft games. Their FPS generally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These pistols typically fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the pitched springs are less powerful than other kinds of airsoft weapons. Spring pistols can generally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but accuracy is reduced rapidly. Shooting conventional 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a decreased range of about 60 to 80 feet with enhanced target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Details
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to carry as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They work similar to an AEG rifle and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines typically can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends if you have enough magazines to reload and the battery holds out that long. These pistols can efficiently shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually risen substantially in the last few years. The initial gen guns were a little bit undependable and sketchy, but the newer designs have the bugs worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be further modded with increased magazine storage capacities as well as accommodating more powerful batteries.
A large advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the connections to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG pistol style, you can get a huge output in efficiency by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Play with?
Looking for the best airsoft sidearm for you depends upon how much you can afford to spend, how often you want to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. If you have more than one-hundred dollars to invest in your airsoft pistol, look into a green gas blowback or GBB handgun or AEP pistol. These kinds of guns are typically the best of the best, have great build qualities, and could be a great airsoft gun to invest in. Consider a CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB pistol if you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to put into an airsoft gun purchase. Middle of the road guns like these will still work well and will be sturdy sidearms. If you have less than $50, choose a cheap CO2 or spring handgun. You can still buy a tough airsoft pistol to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
