Airsoft Handgun Style Additional Information
Find information about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft pistols are completely licensed variations of their genuine pistol equivalents and look and run in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of authentic bullets.
There are a number of kinds of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these forms of pistols come with positives and negatives associated with them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft handguns allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most heavy-duty and popular styles of handguns. They are all season, all weather guns working well in many kinds of weather, extreme temperatures, and climates. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is generally stored in the gun’s magazine in the handle.
These types of airsoft guns are good choices for playing airsoft in cooler weather because the pressurized CO2 gas is less susceptible to variation caused by temperature levels. This fact gives CO2 airsoft sidearms great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other styles of handguns like green gas cease to work or hardly shoot airsoft BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a metallic cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas composed of just one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cylinders are not refillable and you can typically order them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas securely within, but the moment they are punctured (firing them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You ought to try to expend the whole CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas leftover, use the opportunity to do some handgun accuracy and target practice and burn up the remaining extra gas. There is no gas level indicator on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the weapon stops cycling.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They are made with the supplier’s expiry date normally listed on the package or cartridge, but they may stay pressurized for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to fire 6mm airsoft pellets. The result on gameplay and green gas weapon efficiency is basically the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at very short to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is stored in the handgun’s grip within the mag and can commonly hold roughly 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the gun design. A bunch of valves, rubberized stoppers, and seals keep the propane pressurized in the pistol mag up to the point the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good idea to fill up and top off the propane supply in your mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can even carry excess bottles of green gas or propane in the field for reloading magazines in-between lulls in the fight or in-between game play.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or primary gun, bringing additional pistol mags is suggested for quickly reloading. Having extra magazines on-hand helps you re engage in the action in the course 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 and full-sized AEGs are generally not permitted to be used for indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety guideline due to the close quarters proximity of players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB lower compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various styles of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Because the green gas or propane is held in the magazine by using rubber seals and gaskets, cold weather can negatively affect these seals and allow the gas to leak out before shooting. This lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to only land a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the green gas pistol would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One solution to this problem is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by holding them next to your body or by a heater before the airsoft game play. If you really want to play with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 style of your preferred pistol.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Details
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful coil springs that propel the airsoft BBs down the gun barrel. They are typically able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual action of cocking, firing, and reloading spring pistols makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. When engaging rivals on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons and fully automatic airsoft AEG rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns, this can make spring guns fun to use, but less efficient.
Spring sidearms and guns work best in springer battles where opponents can exclusively use related, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters backup gun for CQB buildings when you can usually surprise other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid second followup shot is not required considering that the other person is now hit by the first shot and out of the gameplay or going back to respawn. When engaging numerous rivals since the weapon just shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring guns are incredibly effective under the most ideal conditions. Spring guns can commonly shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however accuracy decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Info
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring into the field as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They operate similar to an AEG rifle and use pressurized air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun magazines normally carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has risen considerably in recent years. The initial gen guns were a little bit undependable and sketchy, however the latest designs have most of the bugs resolved and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be modded with maximized mag capacities along with accommodating larger batteries.
A large benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the connectors to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol style, you can get a substantial increase in functionality by employing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the stock mini battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
Selecting the ideal airsoft handgun for you depends upon your gun budget, how often you plan to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. If you can use at least one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, take a look at a green gas blowback or GBB handgun or AEG pistol. These guns are typically the top-tier guns, have good build qualities, and are usually an excellent sidearm to buy. If you have about more than $50 but less than $100 to use for your gun, check out a CO2 handgun or a 2nd-tier green gas handgun. These will still function well and can be long lasting sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than $50. You can still find a long lasting airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games.
