Information on the Designs of Airsoft Handguns
Find information about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as extra weapons or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft handguns are fully manufactured and licensed editions of their real firearm equivalents and look and function in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these varieties of handguns has positives and negatives connected with them. Finding out about the varieties of airsoft pistols helps you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most popular and durable varieties of handguns. They are all-season, all-weather handguns and operate well in a lot of types of weather and environments. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is usually kept in the gun’s magazine.
These types of airsoft pistols are great for playing airsoft in colder temperatures considering that the compressed CO2 gas is less sensitive to performance variations by temperature. This offers exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other varieties of airsoft pistols like green gas stop functioning or hardly shoot airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a chrome metal cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, hence the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridges under extremely high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
The CO2 cylinders are not refillable and you can typically order them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely and securely within, but when they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You need to attempt to expend the entire CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas leftover, use the chance to do some handgun accuracy and target practice and burn up the remainder of the extra gas. There is no gas level indicator on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the weapon stops firing BBs.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are kept sealed. They are made with a supplier’s use by date usually printed on the box or cartridge cylinder, but they can maintain pressure for a prolonged period past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is virtually the same as CO2 pistols with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stashed in the pistol’s airsoft mag that can usually hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol style. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas stored in the mag before the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When carrying a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a backup or main gun, extra magazines are strongly recommended for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra mags on-hand allows you to get back in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are great for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not permitted to be used during indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety standard because of the close quarters proximity of players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a lower level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various types of green gas airsoft handguns. First there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns function like a real pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. Every time a new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas causes the slide to cycle. The result is very cool, however the weapons frequently cost more and possibly have more parts which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback handguns commonly cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two kinds of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane gas is stored in the pistol mag by rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, the cold can negatively affect these seals and cause the gas to leak out before shooting the pistol. This lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the green gas handgun would usually shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One option to this issue is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by positioning them next to your body or near a heat source before game play starts. If you really desire to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that shoot the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual actions of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols.
Spring airsoft guns work the best in springer wars where game players can solely use comparable, single shot spring pistols or as a transitional weapon for CQB settings when you can often sneak up to other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast 2nd follow-up shot is not called for since the other opponent is already hit and out of the game or moving back to respawn. Look out when fighting several adversaries considering that the spring airsoft gun just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring handguns are remarkably reliable under the ideal conditions during airsoft games. Spring guns like pistols can often fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to engage targets reduces rapidly.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to bring as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They work similar to an AEG gun and use forced air forced through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun magazines typically can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually grown considerably in the last few years. The first gen guns were a little bit undependable and sketchy, but the new models have the problems resolved and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be improved with maximized mag capacities in addition to accommodating bigger batteries.
A big perk of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger battery. Based on the AEG handgun design, you may be able to get a big boost in performance by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the stock mini battery. Take extra precautions when adjusting the elements and the gun’s wires because you need to take into account the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. Ask a professional airsoft technician at your local airsoft shop or store if you have customization issues.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft pistol, take a look at a GBB pistol or automatic electric pistol. If you have between $50 to $100 to buy a gun, check out a good quality CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB pistol. You can still find a long lasting airsoft handgun by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft guns if you are trying to save money.
