Airsoft Handgun Design Information
Find information about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Numerous airsoft pistols are fully certified editions of their real gun counterparts and function and look in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than real bullets.
There are a few types of airsoft handguns such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these styles of handguns have negatives and positives related to them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft pistols helps you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most heavy duty and typical types of handguns. These handguns use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These styles of airsoft handguns are very good for airsoft games in cold weather conditions due to the fact that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to performance variations with low temperatures. This gives CO2 airsoft pistols good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other sorts of handguns like green gas stop functioning or barely shoot pellets.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a metallic cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas made up of one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, consequently the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cylinders under really high pressure of close to ~ 800psi that converts to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but soon after they are opened (firing them in an airsoft handgun breaks the seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft matches 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.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They are made with the maker’s expiry date usually listed on the package or cylinder, but they will likely stay pressurized for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearm Details
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, but they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is practically the exact same as CO2 pistols with the weapons at about 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is stored in the pistol’s mag that can typically hold around 15 to 20+ BBs based on the handgun design. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the mag until the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a main or backup gun, bringing additional handgun mags is recommended for quickly reloading. Having extra magazines on-hand allows you to reengage in the action during firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not permitted to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety rule due to the close range distance of gamers during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy sending the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different varieties of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is stored in the handgun magazine by rubber seals and gaskets, cold weather can negatively influence these gaskets and cause the stored gas to escape prior to shooting the pistol. This lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the green gas handgun would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One fix for this problem is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by positioning them near your body before airsoft game play. This can help to warm the seals and valves and help to seal in the green gas. If you honestly desire to have fun with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold, it may also be worth checking out a CO2 version of your preferred pistol. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Info
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that shoot the BBs out of the gun’s barrel. The manual functioning of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols.
Spring airsoft guns work most effectively in springer battles where game players can solely use related, single shot spring handguns or as an alternative backup weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually surprise other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast 2nd followup shot will not be needed since the other opponent is now hit and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. When engaging multiple attackers because the weapon only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring pistols are quite effective under the right conditions during airsoft games. Spring guns can often shoot up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to engage targets decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Facts
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to bring as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They operate similar to an AEG SMG and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun mags generally can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has grown considerably over the last few years. The initial gen AEP guns were a little bit undependable and questionable, but the newer designs have most of the issues resolved and make effective airsoft backup guns. They can be improved with maximized magazine capacities and by accommodating larger batteries.
A significant perk of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capacity to rewire the battery connectors to use a more substantial battery. Based on the AEG handgun design, you can gain a large leap in performance and fire rate using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as opposed to the stock mini battery. Beware of changing the elements and the gun’s wires because you should think about the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. Ask a qualified gun technician at your closest airsoft store if you have customization inquiries.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have $100 or more to spend on your airsoft handgun, take a look at a GBB handgun or AEG handgun. If you have in-between $50 to $100 to spend, check out a good quality CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB handgun. You can still find a long lasting airsoft pistol by checking out cheaper pistols and by shopping for used pistols if you are looking for a deal.
