Airsoft Handgun Variety Additional Info
Find information about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as extra guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft handguns are completely licensed editions of their genuine pistol equivalents and look and function in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these kinds of pistols come with negatives and positives associated with them. Finding out about the types of airsoft handguns allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most typical and long-lasting types of pistols. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to move airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These types of airsoft weapons are good for playing airsoft in cold and snowy weather conditions because the compressed CO2 gas is less sensitive to performance decreases with low temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft sidearms excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other types of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop working or barely fire BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a metallic cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas made up of just one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, hence the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under really high pressure of about ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cartridges cannot be used multiple times and you can commonly order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely within, once they are punctured (shooting them in an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not used up. You must try to run through the whole CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the weapon stops shooting.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have a manufacturer’s expiry date typically printed on the package or cartridge, however, they will probably survive for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Handgun Info
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, but they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is virtually the exact same as CO2 pistols with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s grip within the mag and can commonly hold roughly 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending on the pistol model. A bunch of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas housed in the pistol magazine up to when the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great plan to fill up and top off your propane supply in your magazine each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding players can additionally take extra bottles of green gas or propane in the field for reloading mags between lulls in the war or in-between game play.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or primary weapon, additional magazines are strongly recommended for rapidly reloading. Having extra magazines allows you to re engage in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not authorized to be used for indoor game play. This is a safety standard due to the close range distance of gamers during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas normally works very well, it does have limits. For example, when green gas guns are played with throughout the winter airsoft season in the snow or in very cold temperatures (like under 32 degrees F). Since the green gas or propane gas is stored in the pistol mag by silicone seals and gaskets, the cold can negatively impact these seals and trigger the gas to seep out before shooting airsoft BBs. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would normally shoot BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather conditions).
One option to this issue is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by placing them next to your body before game play. If you really desire to play with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold, it might also be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that fire the airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are typically able to only shoot one BB. The manual action of firing, cocking, and reloading spring airsoft guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. This makes spring airsoft guns interesting to use, yet they can be less useful when going up against other players on the airsoft field with advanced guns like automatic airsoft AEG assault rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring airsoft guns perform the best in springer battles where participants can only use comparable, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters combat weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick second follow-up shot is not called for since the other player is already hit and out of the game or heading back to respawn. When engaging a number of adversaries considering that the weapon just fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring handguns are extremely effective under the most ideal scenarios and airsoft games. Spring pistols can typically fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs however precision reduces quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Details
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to use as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They function similar to an AEG SMG and use forced air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun magazines typically hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has grown significantly in the last few years. The earliest gen AEP guns were a little bit questionable and undependable, however the latest designs have most of the bugs worked out and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be modified with enhanced magazine capacities as well as accommodating larger batteries.
A substantial benefit of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can gain a huge jump in performance by taking advantage of a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock mini battery.
What Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me?
Looking for the ideal airsoft handgun for you depends on your gun budget, how often you want to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. Consider a GBB green gas pistol or AEG handgun if you have more than one-hundred dollars to invest on your airsoft pistol. These guns are normally the top of the line, have the best efficiency, and are usually a great gun to get. Look at a CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB handgun if you have about fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend. These guns will still be fun to play with and are tough sidearms. If you have fifty dollars or less, find a cheap CO2 or spring pistol. You can still get a durable airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games.
