About the Types of Airsoft Pistols
Find information about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft pistols are completely manufactured and licensed releases of their actual weapon equivalents and run and appear in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than real bullets.
There are a few varieties of airsoft sidearms consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these styles of handguns come with negatives and positives associated with them. Finding out about the types of airsoft sidearms allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft sidearms are among the most popular and tough varieties of handguns. They are all season handguns working well in many types of weather, temperatures, and environments. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge is normally held in the handgun’s handle.
These forms of airsoft pistols are excellent for playing in cold and snowy weather conditions due to the fact that the pressurized CO2 gas is less vulnerable to FPS decreases caused by temperature. This fact offers very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for example where other kinds of airsoft guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly shoot airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a chrome metal cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, thus the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under really high pressure of around ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 cartridge cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can usually purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely inside, once they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft handgun breaks the seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You ought to try to deplete the whole CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level gauge on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the gun stops shooting BBs.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They do have a maker’s use by date typically marked on the package or cartridge, but they will probably survive for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft pistols resemble CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel the airsoft BBs. The result on game play and green gas weapon functionality is almost the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic shooting modes and accurate at shorter to mid-range ranges.
The propane gas is stashed in the pistol’s airsoft mag that can usually hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun type. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas stored in the mag before the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When playing with a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a primary or secondary gun, extra handgun mags are advised for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional mags helps you re engage in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not permitted to be used for indoor game play. This is a safety guideline due to the close quarters proximity of players during the shooting engagements. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy propelling 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 sorts of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs 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
Since the green gas or propane is held in the pistol magazine by using rubber seals and gaskets, cold temperatures can influence these o-rings and allow the gas to escape prior to shooting. The lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the GBB handgun would typically shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One fix to this problem is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by putting them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket just before game play. If you absolutely want to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred pistol.
Details About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs that launch the BBs out of the pistol barrel. The manual actions of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring pistols work the best in springer wars where opponents can solely use comparable, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters combat weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid second follow-up shot will not be required since the other person is now hit by the first BB and out of the game play or headed back to respawn. Be careful when attacking multiple players due to the fact that the spring gun only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring handguns are really useful under the correct conditions during games. Spring guns can usually shoot up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs however accuracy decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to carry as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They function similar to an AEG gun and use compressed air with electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol mags normally can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has risen significantly recently. The first generation guns were a bit questionable and unreliable, however the more recent designs have most of the bugs resolved and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be improved with maximized magazine storage capacities in addition to accommodating larger batteries.
A huge perk of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the connections to use an enhanced battery. Depending upon the AEG pistol version, you are able to gain a substantial leap in performance and fire rate by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative to the standard battery. Beware of tweaking the elements and the gun’s wires since you have to take into consideration the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. Ask an experienced weapon technician at your local airsoft shop or store if you have customization questions.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me?
If you have $100 or more to use to buy your airsoft handgun, you may want to consider a green gas blowback handgun or AEG handgun. If you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to buy a gun, look at a CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB handgun. If you are on a budget, you can still choose a durable airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
