Airsoft Handgun Design Info
Learn about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as extra guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Numerous airsoft pistols are completely accredited models of their authentic handgun equivalents and function and appear in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these kinds of sidearms have negatives and positives related to them. Finding out about the types of airsoft pistols helps you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most popular and long-lasting types of pistols. These pistols use CO2 stored in small cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These forms of airsoft weapons are very good for playing airsoft in colder weather conditions given that the high pressure CO2 gas is less prone to FPS decreases with low temperature. This provides excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other kinds of airsoft handguns like green gas stop performing or barely fire airsoft BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a metallic cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, hence the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cylinders under very high pressure of around ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 cartridge cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can usually order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely and securely within, once they are punctured (shooting them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not expended. You must try to use up 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 expend the rest of the surplus gas. There is no gas level indicator on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the gun stops firing airsoft BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They do have a manufacturer’s expiry date usually marked on the package or cylinder, however they can stay pressurized for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is virtually the exact same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the handgun’s airsoft mag that can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol design. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas stored in the mag before the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When carrying a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a backup or main weapon, extra magazines are highly recommended for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional magazines allows you to get back in the action throughout firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields because long guns and full-sized AEGs are generally not approved to be used during indoor gameplay. This is a safety regulation due to the close range distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various styles of green gas airsoft handguns. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns operate like an authentic handgun with the slide “blowing back” with every shot. The gas causes the slide to cycle every time a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. The result is very cool, however the pistols typically are more expensive and possibly have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns 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 kinds of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is held in the pistol magazine by rubber seals and gaskets, cold weather can affect these seals and cause the gas to escape prior to shooting the pistol. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only land a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the GBB handgun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One strategy to this problem is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by placing them next to your body or by a heater before the airsoft game play starts. If you truly need to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite handgun.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs that fire the BBs out of the gun barrel. The manual functioning of reloading, firing, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring guns work the best in springer wars where players can just use similar, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters combat backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick 2nd follow-up shot isn’t required since the other opponent is already hit by the first BB and out of the game or going back to respawn. When engaging multiple airsoft players because the gun only fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring guns are very reliable under the proper conditions. Their FPS usually chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons typically fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring handguns can generally be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to engage targets accurately diminishes rapidly. Choosing regular 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a reduced range of about 60 to 80 feet with improved accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Details
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to carry as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They work much like an AEG gun and use compressed air with electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines normally can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs as high as about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute assuming you have enough spare mags to reload (after every 20 to 30 rounds) and the battery holds out that long. These pistols can precisely shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has increased significantly recently. The initial gen guns were a little bit undependable and sketchy, but the more recent designs have most of the issues worked out and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be improved with enhanced magazine capacities and also accommodating more powerful batteries.
A significant perk of buying an AEG pistol is that you have the opportunity to rewire the wires to use a more robust battery with higher mAh. Based on the AEG pistol model, you are able to get a substantial output in functionality by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as opposed to the standard AEP battery. Take extra precautions when tweaking the parts and the gun’s wires since you need to think about the voltages, mAh, and loads of the battery. Ask a pro gun service technician at your closest airsoft shop if you have customization problems.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have $100 or more to use to buy your airsoft handgun, you may want to consider a GBB pistol or automatic electric pistol. If you have around $50 to $100 to upgrade your gun, evaluate a CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB handgun. If your gun budget is lower, you can still choose a durable airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games.
