About Airsoft Handgun Designs
Find information about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as extra guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft pistols are fully accredited replications of their authentic weapon equivalents and function and appear in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these varieties of pistols come with positives and negatives associated with them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft handguns allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most popular and tough types of sidearms. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These styles of airsoft pistols are great for airsoft games in colder temperatures due to the fact that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to performance variations caused by temperature. This fact gives CO2 airsoft sidearms excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for example where other sorts of handguns like green gas cease to work or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, however once they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the seal) they will begin 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 pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are kept sealed. They have the maker’s expiration date typically listed on the package or cylinder, but they will last for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols function similarly to CO2 guns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to fire 6mm airsoft pellets. The result on game play and green gas pistol functionality is almost the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are rapidly fired in automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can accurately hit targets at very short to mid-range ranges.
The propane gas is stored in the handgun’s airsoft magazine which can commonly hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the pistol model. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the gas stored in the magazine before the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a main or secondary weapon, bringing extra handgun mags is advised for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra mags allows you to get back in the action throughout firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are usually not authorized to be used during indoor game play. This is a safety regulation because of the close range distance of players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a lower level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns function like a realistic pistol with the slide “blowing back” with every shot. The propane gas causes the slide to cycle when a brand-new airsoft BB is chambered. The result is really cool, however the handguns typically cost more and likely have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback weapons typically cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same between the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas typically performs effectively, it does have drawbacks. When green gas and GBB guns are used over the winter airsoft games in the snow or in cold temps (such as under 32 deg F). Because the green gas or propane is kept in the mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can impair these seals and cause the stored gas to escape prior to firing the pistol. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would normally shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One option to this problem is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by putting them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket just before the airsoft game play. If you truly need to play with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Facts
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful coil springs that propel the airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. They are normally single shot. The manual action of firing, reloading, and cocking spring pistols makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. When shooting at foes on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles like fully auto airsoft AEG SMGs, assault rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns, this makes them fun to use, but less effective.
Spring airsoft guns work the best in springer wars where players can solely use related, single shot spring pistols or as a transition backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually surprise other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast second follow-up shot is not required given that the other opponent is now hit and out of the game play or moving back to respawn. Take care when engaging numerous opponents considering the springer just shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring guns are extremely reliable under the best conditions during airsoft games. Spring guns can often shoot accurately up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs but accuracy decreases rapidly.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to bring as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They operate much like an AEG SMG and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines normally can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually grown substantially over the last few years. The initial gens were a bit questionable and unreliable, but the newer versions have the bugs resolved and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be upgraded with maximized mag storage capacities and also accommodating more powerful batteries.
A big perk of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the adapters to use a larger battery. Depending upon the AEG pistol design, you may be able to get a big boost in performance and fire rate utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) in place of the stock battery. Be careful when adjusting the elements and wires because you need to consider the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. Ask a qualified airsoft gun service technician at your nearest airsoft store or shop if you have customization issues.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft handgun, check out a green gas blowback handgun or automatic electric handgun. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to invest, evaluate a CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB handgun. You can still look for a durable airsoft handgun by checking out cheaper pistols and by shopping for used pistols if you are looking for a deal.
