Airsoft Handgun Type Information
Find out about airsoft pistols and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the best handgun can make all the difference in hitting your shots. Sidearms, naturally, are short range airsoft guns. They are typically developed after real handguns or clones of legitimate handguns. Numerous airsoft sidearms are completely licensed models of their real world gun counterparts. These airsoft guns can run in the same ways and look almost identically to the real guns they are designed after while blasting airsoft BBs in place of real world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these styles of pistols have benefits and differences related to them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft handguns allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft handguns are among the most popular and tough types of pistols. They are all-season, all-weather pistols and function well in many kinds of weather and environments. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is typically held in the gun’s magazine in the handle.
These types of airsoft weapons are exceptional for playing airsoft in cooler temperatures because the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to variation with temperature levels. This fact gives CO2 airsoft sidearms good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other types of airsoft handguns like green gas stop functioning or barely fire BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a metallic cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas composed of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, for this reason 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 cylinders under really high pressure of near ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 cartridge cylinders are not multiple-use and you can normally order 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 within, but soon after they are punctured (firing them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not used up. You ought to try to run through the entire CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra 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 up until the gun stops firing airsoft BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They come with the maker’s expiration date usually printed on the package or cartridge, however they will maintain pressure for a long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols resemble CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane for propellant to fire the airsoft pellets. The result on the battlefield and green gas handgun performance is essentially the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or automatic firing modes and can accurately hit targets at short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is held in the handgun’s magazine and can often hold around 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs based on the pistol style. A bunch of valves, silicone stoppers, and seals keep the propane pressurized in the pistol magazine until the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great idea to fill up and top off your green gas in the magazine each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding gamers can also carry extra bottles of green gas or propane in the field for reloading magazines in-between breaks in the war or between games.
When running a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a secondary or primary gun, extra handgun mags are advised for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional mags on-hand helps you get back in the action during firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields because long guns and full-sized AEGs are usually not approved to be used for indoor game play. This is a safety regulation because of the close quarters distance of gamers during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Since the green gas or propane gas is kept in the mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, cold temperatures can influence these o-rings and allow the gas to leak out before shooting the pistol. The lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would normally shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One fix to this issue is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by positioning them next to your body or near a heat source just before game play. If you absolutely need to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred pistol.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Details
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong coil springs that launch the airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. They are normally able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual actions of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring handguns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. This makes them enjoyable to use, however they are less practical when shooting at adversaries on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles, automatic airsoft AEG SMGs and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring airsoft guns perform best in springer battles where opponents can exclusively use similar, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters backup weapon for CQB settings when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast 2nd follow-up shot is not really needed due to the fact that the other person is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. When engaging a number of airsoft players 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 pistols are extremely effective under the correct circumstances. Spring pistols can usually shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however accuracy reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to use as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They work much like an AEG gun and use pressured air with electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines normally hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually increased substantially recently. The initial gens were a little bit undependable and sketchy, but the newer versions have most of the deficiencies resolved and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be upgraded with enhanced magazine storage capacities and also accommodating larger batteries.
A large benefit of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the adapters to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol style, you can gain a sizable output in functionality by using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Play with?
Picking the ideal airsoft pistol for you depends on how much you can afford, how often you want to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. Check out a GBB handgun or AEP handgun if you have more than $100 to invest on your airsoft handgun. These guns are usually the best of the best, have good performance, and are usually a really good pistol to purchase. Consider a CO2 pistol or less costly green gas GBB handgun if you have around more than $50 but less than $100 to spend. These will still be fun to play with and are pretty resilient sidearms. If you have fifty dollars or less, find a cheaper CO2 or spring handgun. You can still find a resilient airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
