Information About the Designs of Airsoft Pistols
Learn about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft handguns are completely manufactured and licensed releases of their authentic pistol counterparts and run and appear in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these types of handguns have positives and negatives connected with them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft handguns lets you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft handguns are among the most typical and dependable styles of handguns. They are all-weather weapons and operate well in lots of types of weather conditions and climates. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge is normally stored in the gun’s handle.
These types of airsoft handguns are good choices for airsoft games in cold and snowy temperatures because the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to performance variations caused by temperature. This fact provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other styles of airsoft pistols like green gas cease to operate or hardly fire BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny steel cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, subsequently the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under extremely high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can normally order them in packs 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 opened (firing them in an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You should try to expend the whole CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and consume the remainder of the extra gas. There is no gas level sign on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the handgun stops shooting airsoft BBs.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They have the maker’s use by date usually printed on the box or cylinder, but they will likely stay pressurized for an extended time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistol Facts
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 pistols, however they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the very same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane is held in the pistol’s airsoft mag that can often hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the handgun style. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the magazine before the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a primary or backup gun, additional pistol mags are encouraged for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra mags on-hand allows you to join in the action during firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are great for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are generally not allowed to be used during indoor engagements. This is an essential safety standard due to the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns run like a legitimate handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The propane causes the slide to cycle every time a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This effect is extremely cool, however the handguns usually cost more and likely have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback pistols usually cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas usually performs effectively, it does have restrictions. When they are used during the winter in the snow or in colder weather conditions (such as under 32 deg F). Considering that the green gas or propane gas is kept in the weapon’s magazine by silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can affect the seals and trigger the gas to escape prior to firing the pistol. The depressurized gas can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would typically shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this problem is to try to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by holding them next to your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the rubber seals and help to seal in the green gas. It can also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol if you really prefer to play airsoft with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun will shoot much better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs that launch the BBs down the gun barrel. They are typically one shot only. The manual functions of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. This makes spring airsoft guns entertaining to use, but they are usually less efficient when running into competitors on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry, automatic airsoft AEG assault rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring handguns work most effectively in springer wars where airsoft players can just use related, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB settings when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid second follow-up shot is not called for considering that the other person is now hit by the first shot and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. Look out when fighting a number of enemies due to the fact that the weapon just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring pistols are extremely useful under the ideal conditions during airsoft games. Spring pistols can generally shoot up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs however precision decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Facts
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to carry as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They work just like an AEG SMG and use forced air forced through electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun mags typically carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually grown considerably recently. The initial generation guns were a bit questionable and unreliable, however the latest versions have the bugs resolved and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be upgraded with enhanced magazine storage capacities along with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the battery connections to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol style, you can gain a huge jump in functionality by using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Buy?
Picking out the most ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends upon how much you can afford, how often you plan to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. If you have over $100 to invest in your airsoft handgun, look at a green gas handgun or AEG pistol. These are usually the top of the line, have great performance, and can be a good gun to get. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to devote to your airsoft gun purchase, look at a CO2 pistol or a 2nd-tier green gas pistol. These mid-tier guns will still function well and can be durable sidearms. If you have $50 or less, try to find a cheaper CO2 or springer pistol. You can still get a tough airsoft pistol to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
