Airsoft Pistol Style Info
Find information about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as extra weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft pistols are completely certified variations of their actual pistol equivalents and look and run in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than actual 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 handguns. Each of these types of pistols come with negatives and positives associated with them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft handguns lets you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are among the most long-lasting and common kinds of pistols. They are all-season guns working well in many kinds of weather conditions and climates. These sidearms use high pressure CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is normally kept in the pistol’s mag inside the handle.
These kinds of airsoft guns are great for playing airsoft in cold weather due to the fact that the high pressure CO2 gas is less sensitive to FPS decreases by low temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft pistols good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for example where other types of airsoft pistols like green gas stop working or hardly shoot airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a chrome cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas comprised of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however 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 chance to do some handgun 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 are made with the manufacturer’s expiry date normally printed on the box or cartridge cylinder, but they will stay pressurized for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols function similarly to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel 6mm airsoft pellets. The result on airsoft games and green gas pistol efficiency is virtually the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS. Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or automatic shooting modes and accurate at very short to mid-range proximities.
The propane is kept in the pistol’s mag that can usually hold around 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun design. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the gas pressurized in the magazine until the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When bringing a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or main gun, bringing additional handgun mags is advised for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra magazines helps you reengage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping 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 enabled to be used for indoor engagements. This is an essential safety standard because of the close quarters proximity of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy moving the BB lower compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various styles of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is kept in the handgun mag using rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, cold weather can negatively impact these seals and cause the stored gas to leak out before shooting the handgun. This lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the green gas pistol would typically shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this issue is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by putting them next to a heat source or by your body just before the airsoft game play. This can help to heat up the seals, gaskets, and valves and better seal in the green gas. If you honestly want to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold, it can also be worth buying a CO2 version of your preferred handgun. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun will shoot much better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Information
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs that fire the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual action of cocking, reloading, and firing spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB guns.
Spring guns perform most effectively in springer battles where players can solely use related, single shot spring guns or as an alternative backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can often sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a rapid 2nd followup shot isn’t needed given that the other player is already hit and out of the game play or headed back to respawn. When engaging multiple attackers given that the spring airsoft gun only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring pistols are remarkably efficient under the most ideal situations. Their FPS generally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These handguns generally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring handguns can typically shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to engage targets accurately diminishes quickly. Shooting standard 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a decreased range of about 60 to 80 feet or less with improved precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Info
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to bring as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They work just like an AEG rifle and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun mags usually can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire 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 Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has risen significantly recently. The first generations were a bit sketchy and unreliable, however the newer designs have most of the bugs resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further upgraded with increased mag capacities together with accommodating bigger batteries.
A big advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connections to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can get a substantial increase in functionality by adopting a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Buy?
Selecting the most ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends upon your gun budget, how much you intend to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. If you can afford at least one-hundred dollars to invest in your airsoft handgun, consider a green gas blowback or GBB handgun or AEP handgun. These kinds of handguns are normally the top of the line, have the very best efficiency, and could be a pretty good airsoft gun to invest in. If you have around more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to use for your gun, check out a CO2 handgun or cheaper green gas blowback pistol. Middle of the road guns like these will still get the job done and can be durable sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring pistol if you have less than $50. You can still get a long-lasting airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
