Airsoft Handgun Design Info
Learn more about airsoft sidearms and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the right pistol can make all the difference in nailing your shots. Handguns, naturally, are lower range airsoft guns. They are commonly created after real world sidearms or copies of authentic pistols. A large number of airsoft pistols are fully certified versions of their authentic pistol counterparts. These airsoft guns can function (except for shooting bullets) in the same ways and visually look similarly to the real guns they are designed after while firing airsoft BBs in place of real world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these types of handguns come with negatives and positives connected with them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft sidearms allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most resilient and popular kinds of handguns. They are all-weather guns and work well in a lot of kinds of weather, temperatures, and climates. These sidearms use pressurized CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge is normally housed in the pistol’s handle.
These forms of airsoft guns are good choices for airsoft games in cooler weather conditions because the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance decreases with low temperatures. This fact gives CO2 airsoft handguns very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other varieties of airsoft pistols like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas consisting of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, but once they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft gun breaks the seal) they will begin 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 can be stored for a while. They are made with a maker’s best used by date normally marked on the box or cartridge cylinder, but they will stay pressurized for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, but they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is almost the exact same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is kept in the handgun’s magazine which can usually hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the handgun type. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the magazine up until the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When carrying a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a backup or primary weapon, extra handgun magazines are recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra mags on-hand helps you get back in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields because long guns and full-sized AEGs are generally not allowed to be used during indoor engagements. This is an essential safety regulation because of the close range distance of gamers during shooting engagements. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB lower compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas usually can be used extremely well, it does have restrictions. This includes when green gas guns are used in the winter in the snow or in very cold temperatures (like lower 32 degrees F). Given that the green gas or propane gas is stored in the weapon’s magazine using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, the cold can impair the seals and make the gas to escape prior to firing the pistol. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot several feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One solution to this issue is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by placing them next to your body or near a heat source before game play. If you absolutely want to play with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite pistol.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful springs that shoot the BBs out of the handgun’s barrel. The manual actions of reloading, cocking, and shooting spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns.
Spring sidearms and guns perform the best in springer battles where participants can exclusively use related, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a rapid 2nd followup shot isn’t really needed due to the fact that the other opponent is already hit and out of the gameplay or headed back to respawn. Beware when fighting several foes considering that the gun only fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring handguns are considerably effective under the right game circumstances. Their FPS normally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These handguns typically fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the coiled springs are less effective than other types of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring handguns can typically engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets reduces quickly. Using standard 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a decreased shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet with improved target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Information
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to carry as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They work much like an AEG gun and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol mags generally store about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends if you have enough spare mags to reload and the battery maintains its charge that long. These AEP handguns can efficiently fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has grown substantially over the last few years. The early generations were a bit unreliable and questionable, but the newer models have the bugs worked out and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be modified with increased mag storage capacities as well as accommodating more powerful batteries.
A huge perk of buying an AEG handgun is that you have the capacity to rewire the wires to use a larger battery with higher mAh. Depending upon the AEG pistol type, you can gain a sizable jump in efficiency by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the standard AEP battery. Take care of customizing the components and wires since you need to think about the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. If you have modding questions, ask a qualified professional airsoft service technician at your local airsoft shop.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me?
Picking the right airsoft handgun for you depends upon how much you want to spend, how much you want to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. Check out a green gas blowback handgun or automatic electric AEP handgun if you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun. These are usually the best of the best, have the best build qualities, and are usually a great handgun to purchase. If you can afford in-between $50 to $100 to use for your gun, check out a CO2 handgun or cheaper green gas pistol. These guns will still get the job done and can be pretty tough sidearms. If you have $50 or less, shop for a low end CO2 or springer pistol. You can still get a resilient airsoft pistol to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
