Airsoft Pistol Design Additional Information
Learn more about airsoft sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal pistol and practicing with it can be a game changer in hitting your shots. Handguns, by nature, are diminished range airsoft weapons. They are often designed after actual sidearms or models of legitimate handguns. Many airsoft pistols are fully licensed models of their real weapon counterparts. These airsoft guns can appear and function (short of shooting bullets) in the same ways similarly to the real guns they are designed after while blasting airsoft BBs instead of authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these kinds of pistols have positives and negatives associated with them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft sidearms allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most popular and heavy duty styles of handguns. They are all-weather weapons working well in a lot of kinds of temperatures, weather and environments. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs down the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is generally stored in the handgun’s magazine.
These types of airsoft weapons are good choices for airsoft games in cooler weather conditions since the compressed CO2 gas is less susceptible to performance variations by temperature levels. This fact offers good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other sorts of pistols like green gas stop functioning or hardly fire pellets.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a chrome cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of just one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 cartridge cylinders cannot be refilled and you can normally purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas securely within, but when they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are not used up. You need to attempt to run through the whole CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol accuracy and target practice and use up the remainder of the extra gas. There is no gas level indicator on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the pistol stops firing.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are kept sealed. They are made with the manufacturer’s expiry date normally noted on the box or cartridge, however, they may last for a prolonged period past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns resemble CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to fire the airsoft pellets. The effect on airsoft games and green gas pistol functionality is just about the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ FPS. Shots are rapidly fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at shorter to mid-range distances.
The green gas is sealed in the handgun’s grip within the magazine which can frequently hold between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs based on the gun design. A sequence of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the green gas sealed in the mag until the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great choice to top off and refill your green gas supply in your pistol mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can also carry excess bottles of propane in the field for reloading mags between breaks in the war or in-between missions.
When bringing a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or secondary gun, bringing additional handgun magazines is suggested for rapidly reloading. Having additional magazines allows you to reengage in the action during firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields considering that long guns and full-sized AEGs are generally not allowed to be used for indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety rule because of the close range proximity of gamers during the shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various types of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas generally works extremely well, it does have limits. This includes when green gas guns are played with throughout the winter airsoft games in the snow or in colder weather (like under 32 degrees F). Since the green gas or propane gas is stored in the mag using silicone seals and gaskets, cold weather can affect the seals and allow the gas to seep out before firing the handgun. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot several feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer temps).
One solution to this issue is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by putting them next to your body just before the airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the seals and valves and better seal in the green gas. It might also be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred pistol if you actually need to play airsoft with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and these guns shoot far better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
About Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong coil springs that propel the airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are usually single shot. The manual functioning of cocking, firing, and reloading spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When facing other players on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles like fully automatic airsoft AEG rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols, this can make spring airsoft guns fun to use, however less efficient.
Spring guns perform the best in springer battles where players can just use comparable, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters combat backup gun for CQB environments when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a rapid second follow-up shot is not called for since the other player is now hit and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. When engaging a number of adversaries because the gun only shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring handguns are extremely effective under the most ideal game conditions. Their FPS generally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These guns normally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs because the coiled springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft weapons. Spring guns can usually shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to engage targets accurately diminishes quickly. Choosing basic 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet or less with heightened target accuracy.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to bring into the field as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They work just like an AEG SMG and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG handgun magazines typically hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually increased significantly recently. The early generation guns were a little bit questionable and unreliable, however the newer versions have the bugs worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary weapons. They can be modded with enhanced mag storage capacities and by accommodating more powerful batteries.
A massive advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the battery connections to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol design, you can gain a substantial output in efficiency by adopting a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Play with?
Picking the ideal airsoft pistol for you depends upon how much you can afford to spend, how much you wish to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. Look into a GBB handgun or automatic electric AEP pistol if you have more than $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol. These guns are typically the best of the best, have good build qualities, and are usually a pretty good gun to get. Consider a CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB handgun if you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to put into an airsoft gun purchase. These mid-tier guns will still finish the job and can be pretty durable sidearms. If you have fifty dollars or less, shop for a low end CO2 or springer handgun. You can still buy a durable airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games.
