Information About the Types of Airsoft Pistols
Learn about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as extra guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft pistols are completely manufactured and licensed variations of their real weapon counterparts and look and run in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these styles of sidearms come with negatives and positives related to them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft pistols allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most popular and dependable types of handguns. These pistols use CO2 stored in small cylinders to send airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These kinds of airsoft guns are very good for playing airsoft in cooler weather conditions considering that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to performance decreases caused by low temperatures. This gives CO2 airsoft guns exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other kinds of sidearms like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a shiny steel cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, thus the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cylinders under very high pressure of close to ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but soon after they are opened (shooting them inside of 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 opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if they are kept sealed. They have a manufacturer’s best used by date typically noted on the box or cylinder, but they can stay pressurized for an extended time past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 pistols, but they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the exact same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane is kept in the pistol’s magazine that can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol model. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the gas pressurized in the magazine till the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When using a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a main or backup gun, bringing extra mags is suggested for rapidly reloading. Having additional magazines helps you get back in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields because long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not approved to be used during indoor shooting. This is a safety guideline because of the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB lower compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various sorts of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas generally performs very well, it does have issues. When green gas and GBB guns are used over the winter playing in the snow or in colder weather (like below 32 degrees F). Given that the green gas or propane gas is kept in the pistol mag by rubber seals and gaskets, cold weather can affect the seals and allow the gas to leak out prior to firing the pistol. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would ordinarily shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One fix to this issue is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by holding them next to your body or by a heater prior to the airsoft game play. If you truly need to play with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it may also be worth getting a CO2 style of your preferred pistol.
Details About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that fire the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual functioning of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring pistols work most effectively in springer wars where opponents can only use similar, single shot spring guns or as a transitional backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast second followup shot isn’t needed since the other person is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game play or headed back to respawn. Look out when engaging a number of opponents because the spring gun just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring guns are remarkably reliable under the appropriate conditions during airsoft games. Their FPS commonly chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These handguns usually fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs since the springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring handguns can generally be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however precision reduces quickly. Shooting conventional 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a range of around 60 to 80 feet or less with heightened target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Facts
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to use as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They function much like an AEG gun and use compressed air with electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun mags normally can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute assuming you have enough spare magazines to maintain the ammo supply and the battery maintains its charge that long. These pistols can efficiently fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has grown considerably over the last few years. The first gen AEP guns were a bit unreliable and sketchy, however the new versions have the bugs worked out and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be improved with enhanced magazine capacities as well as accommodating more powerful batteries.
A huge advantage of buying an AEG pistol is that you have the opportunity to rewire the connections to use a more substantial battery with longer life. Depending upon the AEG pistol model, you are able to get a sizable output in performance using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as opposed to the standard AEP battery. Beware of customizing the components and wires since you need to take into account the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. If you have customization concerns, ask an experienced weapon service technician at your nearest airsoft store or shop.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
Picking the right airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you want to spend, how often you desire to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. Look into a GBB handgun or AEG handgun if you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun. These guns are normally the best of the best, have the best efficiency, and are usually a good gun to invest in. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend on upgrading your airsoft arsenal, have a look at a CO2 pistol or more affordable green gas handgun. These will still function well and will be pretty durable sidearms. If you have $50 or less, choose a cheaper CO2 or spring pistol. You can still find a resilient airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
