Information on Airsoft Pistol Varieties
Learn more about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the right handgun can make all the difference in aiming your shots. Handguns, naturally, are reduced range airsoft weapons. They are frequently constructed after genuine guns or look-alikes of genuine handguns. Many different airsoft handguns are completely licensed reproductions of their real-world firearm equivalents. These airsoft guns can function (except for shooting bullets) in the same ways and look identically to the real guns they are modeled after while blasting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these forms of handguns have positives and negatives related to them. Learning more about the types of airsoft pistols allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most standard and long lasting types of pistols. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These styles of airsoft weapons are good choices for airsoft games in cooler weather conditions because the pressurized CO2 gas is less susceptible to variation by temperature. This fact provides very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for example where other varieties of airsoft pistols like green gas stop performing or hardly fire airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas composed of just one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, but the moment they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge 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 opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They come with a maker’s expiration date normally printed on the package or cylinder, however they will probably stay pressurized for a long time past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols resemble CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane for propellant to fire the airsoft pellets. The effect on airsoft games and green gas sidearm operation is almost the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are rapidly fired in automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and precisely hit targets at shorter to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is stored in the handgun’s airsoft mag which can normally hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol design. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the mag till the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When bringing a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a main or secondary weapon, bringing additional mags is advised for rapidly reloading. Having additional magazines on-hand 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 fights.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are usually not allowed to be used for indoor engagements. This is a safety rule because of the close quarters proximity of players during shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various types of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns operate like an actual handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The propane gas triggers the slide to cycle when a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. The result is very cool, but the GBB pistols often cost more and likely have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns typically cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same between the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane gas is housed in the pistol magazine by using rubber o-rings, seals, and silicone gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively influence these o-rings and cause the gas to leak out before shooting the pistol. This can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a number of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the green gas handgun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this issue is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by holding them next to a heat source or by your body prior to game play. This can help to heat up the seals and better seal in the green gas. It can also be worth buying a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun if you truly need to play airsoft with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that fire the airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. They are typically single shot. The manual action of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes spring airsoft guns entertaining to use, yet they can be less successful when confronting adversaries on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry, automatic airsoft AEG rifles and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring handguns work best in springer wars where players can just use comparable, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB environments when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast second follow-up shot will not be needed given that the other person is already struck and out of the game or headed back to respawn. Look out when fighting a number of players considering the spring airsoft gun only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring guns are incredibly effective under the appropriate game conditions. Spring pistols can usually fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to carry as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They function just like an AEG rifle and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun mags usually store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs approximately about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute assuming you have enough magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery lasts that long. These pistols can precisely shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has grown significantly over the last few years. The earliest generation guns were a little bit sketchy and undependable, but the newer designs have the deficiencies resolved and make reliable airsoft backup guns. They can be further modified with increased mag storage capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A substantial benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol design, you can gain a substantial output in functionality by taking advantage of a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft pistol, evaluate a GBB handgun or AEG pistol. If you have around $50 to $100 to invest, check out a good quality CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB handgun. You can still play with a durable airsoft handgun by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft handguns if you are trying to save money.
