Airsoft Handgun Style Additional Info

Learn about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft pistols are completely manufactured and licensed variations of their authentic pistol equivalents and look and function in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.

There are a number of types of airsoft sidearms consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these kinds of sidearms has negatives and positives related to them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft sidearms allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.

CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details

CO2 airsoft handguns are among the most standard and resilient kinds of handguns. They are all-season weapons working well in many kinds of extreme temperatures, weather and environments. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs down the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is typically located in the handgun’s handle.

These types of airsoft guns are good choices for playing airsoft in colder weather conditions because the high pressure CO2 gas is less susceptible to FPS decreases by low temperature. This fact gives CO2 airsoft sidearms exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other styles of airsoft sidearms like green gas cease to function or barely fire BBs.

About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders

CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny metallic cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas consisting of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.

The CO2 cartridge cylinders are not refillable and you can typically purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely and securely inside, once they are punctured (firing them in an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You need to try to deplete the entire CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas leftover, use the opportunity to do some pistol accuracy and target practice and consume the remaining extra gas. There is no gas level gauge on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the gun stops firing BBs.

If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They do have the supplier’s best used by date usually noted on the box or cartridge, however they will maintain pressure for a very long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.

Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistol Information

Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is practically the exact same as CO2 handguns with the guns at around 300+ FPS.

The propane is stashed in the handgun’s mag which can usually hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the gas pressurized in the magazine up until the handgun’s trigger is pulled.

When bringing a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a main or secondary gun, bringing extra handgun mags is suggested for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional magazines helps you re engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.

Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not enabled to be used for indoor engagements. This is a safety guideline because of the close quarters proximity of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB at a decreased level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.

Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback

There are two different styles of green gas airsoft handguns. To begin with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns operate like a real handgun with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. When a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. The result is really cool, however the GBB weapons typically are more expensive and likely have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback weapons normally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two varieties of green gas pistols.

About GBB and Green Gas Limitations

While green gas typically can be used effectively, it does have restrictions. This includes when green gas guns are played with in the winter airsoft games in the snow or in cold weather (like lower 32 degrees F). Given that the green gas or propane is stored in the mag by rubber seals and gaskets, the cold can affect the seals and make the stored gas to leak out before firing the pistol. This can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot several feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).

One fix for this challenge is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by placing them next to your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to warm the rubber gaskets and better seal in the green gas. If you honestly desire to play with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold, it may also be better to get a CO2 version of your favorite handgun. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun shoots better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.

Spring Airsoft Handgun Information

Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that fire the airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. They are generally single-shot. The manual functions of cocking, reloading, and firing spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes spring airsoft guns entertaining to use, but they are usually less practical when fighting opponents on the airsoft field with upgraded airsoft guns like fully automatic airsoft AEG rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns.

Spring handguns work most effectively in springer wars where participants can only use related, single shot spring guns or as an alternative backup gun for CQB environments when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a quick 2nd follow-up shot isn’t called for given that the other opponent is now struck and out of the game or heading back to respawn. Take care when attacking a number of adversaries due to the fact that the spring airsoft gun only fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.

About Spring Pistol Efficiency

Spring guns are really effective under the best scenarios and airsoft games. Their FPS generally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the springs are less effective than other types of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring pistols can usually be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to engage targets is reduced quickly. Choosing normal 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a reduced range of around 60 to 80 feet with heightened accuracy.

AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Facts

AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to use as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They operate much like an AEG gun and use pressured air with electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.

AEG pistol magazines normally store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs as high as about 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough magazines to reload the gun and the battery lasts that long. These pistols can effectively shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.

AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency

AEG handgun quality has increased substantially over the last few years. The initial gen guns were a bit unreliable and sketchy, however the latest versions have the deficiencies resolved and make reliable airsoft backup guns. They can be improved with enhanced mag capacities and also accommodating bigger batteries.

A substantial advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the connections to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can gain a large output in efficiency by employing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock battery.

What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Play with?

Looking for the most ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends upon how much you want to spend, how much you wish to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. If you can afford over $100 to invest in your airsoft pistol, check out a green gas blowback or GBB pistol or AEG pistol. These guns are typically the top of the line, have the best efficiency, and are usually a good investment. If you can afford between fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend on upgrading your airsoft arsenal, look into a CO2 pistol or a second-tier green gas blowback pistol. These will still do the job and are resilient sidearms. If you have $50 or less, look for a cheap CO2 or springer pistol. You can still buy a strong airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
