About the Kinds of Airsoft Pistols
Find information about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as extra guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Numerous airsoft pistols are fully accredited variations of their real firearm equivalents and look and run in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these types of sidearms come with positives and negatives related to them. Learning about the types of airsoft pistols helps you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are among the most typical and resilient varieties of pistols. They are all-season guns and work well in many kinds of extreme temperatures, weather and climates. These sidearms use pressurized CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is generally held in the pistol’s mag inside the handle.
These types of airsoft pistols are exceptional for playing in colder weather conditions considering that the compressed CO2 gas is less sensitive to performance decreases caused by low temperatures. This fact gives CO2 airsoft handguns exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other types of sidearms like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely shoot BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas made up of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, therefore the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cylinders under extremely high pressure of roughly ~ 800psi that converts to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, however once they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft handgun 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 chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if they are kept sealed. They do have the supplier’s expiration date normally marked on the box or cartridge, however they will probably last for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 handguns, but they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is virtually the same as CO2 pistols with the guns around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is housed in the handgun’s mag and can typically hold between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending upon the handgun model. A sequence of valves, rubberized stoppers, and seals keep the gas stored in the mag prior to when the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great choice to top off and refill the green gas reserves in the magazine each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can also bring surplus bottles of propane gas in the field for refilling mags between lulls in the fight or in-between game play.
When using a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a primary or secondary gun, bringing extra magazines is advised for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra mags helps you get back in the action throughout firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not permitted to be used during indoor shooting. This is a safety guideline due to the close quarters distance of players during shooting engagements. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB lower compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different kinds of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns function like an authentic handgun with the slide “blowing back” with every shot. Every time a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas induces the slide to cycle. This effect is very cool, but the guns often cost more and possibly have more parts which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns typically cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two types of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is held in the mag by rubber seals and silicone gaskets, cold temps can impact these seals and cause the gas to escape prior to shooting. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would typically shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One fix for this problem is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by positioning them next to a heat source or by your body before airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the seals and valves and help to seal in the green gas. It may also be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred handgun if you truly want to play airsoft with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and these guns shoot much better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Details
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that send the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual actions of cocking, reloading, and firing spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring sidearms perform best in springer battles where airsoft players can exclusively use comparable, single shot spring pistols or as an alternative weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast 2nd followup shot will not be required because the other opponent is already hit by the first BB and out of the game or headed back to respawn. Take care when engaging numerous players considering that the spring airsoft gun just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring handguns are really useful under the most ideal scenarios. Spring pistols can usually shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but target accuracy decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to bring into the field as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They work similar to an AEG gun and use pressured air with electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun magazines generally can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs right up to around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery maintains its charge that long. These AEP pistols can efficiently fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually risen substantially in recent years. The earliest gens were a bit undependable and sketchy, however the new versions have the deficiencies worked out and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be modified with increased mag storage capacities together with accommodating bigger batteries.
A large benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the connections to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you may be able to get a substantial jump in performance utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) in place of the standard mini battery. Take extra precautions when customizing the parts and the gun’s wires because you should think about the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. Ask a qualified gun service technician at your nearest airsoft store if you have modding concerns.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Buy?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, you may want to consider a green gas blowback pistol or AEG handgun. If you have around $50 to $100 to spend, check out a good quality CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB pistol. If your gun budget is lower, you can still choose a durable airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games.
