Info About Airsoft Handgun Styles
Find out about airsoft handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal handgun and practicing with it can be a game changer in blasting your shots. Sidearms, by nature, are reduced range airsoft guns. They are generally developed after authentic handguns or copies of genuine handguns. A lot of airsoft pistols are completely certified variations of their real-world weapon counterparts. These airsoft guns can look and feel and handle in the same ways almost identically to the real guns they are modeled after while firing airsoft BBs in place of real bullets.
There are several types 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 varieties of handguns come with positives and negatives related to them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft handguns allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most typical and durable types of pistols. They are all weather handguns and operate well in a lot of kinds of weather, varying temperatures, and environments. These sidearms use high pressure CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is generally housed in the handgun’s magazine.
These types of airsoft pistols are exceptional for airsoft games in cold weather given that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to variation with temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft pistols excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other sorts of handguns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely shoot pellets.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a chrome metal cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, and so the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridges under extremely high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however as soon as they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They are made with the maker’s expiry date usually printed on the package or cylinder, however, they will survive for a very long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is virtually the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the handgun’s magazine and can commonly hold around 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending upon the gun style. A sequence of valves, rubber stoppers, and seals keep the propane sealed in the mag until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good choice to top off and refill your green gas in the mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can additionally take surplus bottles of green gas in the field for reloading between breaks in the battle or in-between games.
When carrying a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a main or secondary weapon, bringing extra magazines is encouraged for quickly reloading. Having additional mags allows you to re engage in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not authorized to be used for indoor engagements. This is a safety rule due to the close range proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB at a lower level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various styles of green gas airsoft handguns. First, there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols function like a realistic handgun with the gun’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The gas causes the slide to cycle when a fresh airsoft BB is chambered. This cycling is really cool, however the GBB handguns often cost more and likely have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback weapons normally cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is held in the handgun mag using rubber seals and silicone gaskets, the cold can negatively influence these gaskets and allow the gas to escape prior to shooting the gun. This can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the green gas pistol would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this issue is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by placing them next to your body before game play starts. If you really need to play with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite handgun.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful coil springs that launch the BBs out of the pistol barrel. The manual functions of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns.
Spring handguns work most effectively in springer wars where airsoft players can just use comparable, single shot spring guns or as a transitional backup gun for CQB buildings when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick 2nd follow-up shot is not really needed considering that the other opponent is already hit by the first shot and out of the game play or running back to respawn. When engaging multiple enemies because the weapon simply fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring handguns are remarkably useful under the appropriate circumstances and airsoft games. Their FPS generally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These pistols usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring pistols can normally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however accuracy is reduced rapidly. Choosing basic 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a reduced shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet with improved accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring into the field as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s handle. They operate much like an AEG SMG and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines usually store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare magazines to reload the gun and the battery lasts that long. These AEP handguns can efficiently fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has grown considerably in the last few years. The earliest gens were a bit unreliable and questionable, however the more recent models have most of the bugs worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further upgraded with enhanced mag storage capacities and also accommodating larger batteries.
A huge benefit of buying an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the adapters to use a larger battery with longer life. Depending on the AEG handgun version, you are able to get a big output in performance and fire rate using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the standard AEP battery. Take extra precautions when changing the elements and wires because you need to consider the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. Ask a qualified gun specialist at your nearest airsoft store or shop if you have customization concerns.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
Looking for the right airsoft sidearm for you depends upon how much you can afford to spend, how much you would like to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. Consider a GBB pistol or automatic electric AEP handgun if you have $100 or more to spend on your airsoft handgun. These are usually the top of the line, have the very best performance, and can be a good sidearm to purchase. Take a look at a CO2 handgun or less costly green gas GBB pistol if you have around more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to buy a gun. Middle of the road guns like these will still be fun to play with and are pretty tough sidearms. If you have $50 or less, choose a lower end CO2 or spring handgun. You can still find a heavy-duty airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games.
