Airsoft Pistol Style Additional Info
Learn about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft pistols are fully manufactured and licensed variations of their authentic gun equivalents and look and function in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are several types of airsoft handguns including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these kinds of handguns come with negatives and positives related to them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft handguns helps you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most popular and long-lasting types of handguns. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These types of airsoft handguns are great choices for playing airsoft in cold and snowy weather conditions considering that the pressurized CO2 gas is less sensitive to FPS decreases by low temperatures. This provides good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for example where other sorts of sidearms like green gas stop performing or hardly shoot airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a metallic cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas made up of one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, thus the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cylinders under extremely high pressure of roughly ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, however as soon as they are opened (firing them in an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games 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.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They come with the supplier’s best used by date normally marked on the box or cartridge, however, they may stay pressurized for a prolonged period past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Handgun Info
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the very same as CO2 handguns with the guns at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stashed in the handgun’s mag which can usually hold between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the pistol model. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the gas pressurized in the mag before the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When using a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or main weapon, bringing additional handgun mags is encouraged for quickly reloading. Having additional mags on-hand allows you to join in the action throughout firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields given that long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not permitted to be used for indoor gameplay. This is a safety guideline due to the close range distance of gamers during the shooting engagements. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB lower compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various styles of green gas airsoft pistols. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns run like a legitimate pistol with the gun’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The propane gas causes the slide to cycle when a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This functionality is extremely cool, but the GBB weapons usually cost more and possibly have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback guns generally cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas usually can be used extremely well, it does have constraints. For example, when green gas guns are played with throughout the winter in the snow or in colder temperatures (like under 32 degrees F). Given that the green gas or propane gas is held in the pistol mag using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively impact the seals and trigger the gas to escape before firing the pistol. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot several feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would typically shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One solution to this problem is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by placing them next to your body before game play. This can help to warm up the seals, gaskets, and valves and better seal in the green gas. It might also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your preferred pistol if you really prefer to play with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun shoots much better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that launch the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual functioning of cocking, reloading, and firing spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols.
Spring sidearms work the best in springer wars where participants can exclusively use related, single shot spring weapons or as a transitional weapon for CQB buildings when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid second followup shot will not be required due to the fact that the other player is already hit and out of the game play or heading back to respawn. When engaging many different rivals since the springer just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring handguns are remarkably reliable under the most ideal circumstances. Their FPS normally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These handguns generally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs because the pitched springs are less powerful than other kinds of airsoft guns. Spring pistols can generally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets accurately reduces quickly. Using basic 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a range of around 60 to 80 feet with enhanced target accuracy.
Facts About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to use as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They function much like an AEG SMG and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags typically carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually increased significantly in the last few years. The first gen AEP guns were a little bit unreliable and questionable, however the more recent versions have the deficiencies resolved and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be further modified with enhanced mag storage capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A significant perk of buying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the connectors to use a more robust battery. Based on the AEG pistol design, you are able to get a substantial jump in performance by utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the standard battery. Be careful when tweaking the components and wires since you should think about the voltages, mAh, and loads of the batteries. If you have modding questions, ask an expert weapon service tech at your nearest airsoft store or shop.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me?
If you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft handgun, check out a GBB handgun or automatic electric handgun. If you have around $50 to $100 to shell out, review a CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB pistol. You can still find a long lasting airsoft handgun by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft pistols if you are on a budget.
