Information About the Designs of Airsoft Pistols
Learn about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as extra weapons or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. A large number of airsoft handguns are completely manufactured and licensed editions of their genuine pistol counterparts and run and look in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these varieties of sidearms come with benefits and differences related to them. Learning more about the types of airsoft sidearms lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most standard and long lasting types of pistols. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These forms of airsoft guns are very good for playing airsoft in cold weather given that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to performance variations with low temperatures. This fact offers great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other types of pistols like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely fire BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a chrome metal cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas consisting of one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, so the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under very high pressure of about ~ 800psi that correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can typically order them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely within, once they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You should try to expend the entire CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the pistol stops cycling.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They have a maker’s expiration date usually noted on the box or cartridge cylinder, but they can last for a prolonged time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is practically the exact same as CO2 pistols with the guns at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the pistol’s airsoft mag that can typically hold between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the pistol style. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas pressurized in the magazine up until the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When using a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup gun, bringing additional pistol mags is encouraged for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra magazines allows you to get back in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not allowed to be used for indoor shooting. This is a safety regulation due to the close quarters proximity of gamers during shooting engagements. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy launching 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 kinds of green gas airsoft handguns. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns work like a realistic handgun with the gun’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. Each time a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas causes the slide to cycle. The result is extremely cool, however the GBB pistols typically are more expensive and potentially have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback handguns generally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same between the two varieties of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas typically works effectively on the airsoft field, it does have issues. For example, when green gas guns are played with during the winter season in the snow or in cold weather (like less than 32 deg F). Since the green gas or propane is kept in the magazine using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temperatures can impact the seals and cause the gas to escape before shooting airsoft BBs. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot several feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would usually shoot BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer temps).
One fix for this issue is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by putting them inside your jacket next to your body just before the game play. This can help to heat up the rubber gaskets and better seal in the green gas. It may also be worth checking out a CO2 version of your favorite handgun if you truly prefer to play with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and these guns shoot far better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Facts
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful springs that fire the airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. They are normally single shot. The manual functioning of cocking, reloading, and firing spring airsoft guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes spring airsoft pistols fun to use, yet they can be less effective when facing attackers on the airsoft field with upgraded airsoft guns, auto airsoft AEG rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring guns work best in springer battles where participants can exclusively use related, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast 2nd followup shot isn’t really needed considering that the other player is now struck and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. Look out when engaging numerous foes because the spring gun just shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring guns are considerably efficient under the most ideal scenarios and airsoft games. Their FPS generally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These guns generally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs because the pitched springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft weapons. Spring handguns can generally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to hit targets decreases rapidly. Choosing normal 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a range of about 60 to 80 feet with enhanced precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Info
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to use as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They function much like an AEG SMG and use forced air forced through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun magazines typically carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually increased substantially in the last few years. The initial generations were a bit unreliable and questionable, but the latest designs have the bugs resolved and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be further modded with enhanced mag storage capacities and also accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial advantage of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the battery connectors to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can get a big jump in performance by employing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me?
Looking for the best airsoft handgun for you depends upon how much you can afford, how much you would like to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. If you have over one-hundred dollars to invest in your airsoft handgun, look into a green gas pistol or AEP pistol. These are usually the top of the line, have the very best efficiency, and can be a pretty good airsoft gun to invest in. If you have about more than $50 but less than $100 to spend, have a look at a CO2 handgun or a 2nd-tier GBB pistol. Mid-tier guns like these will still finish the job and will be pretty durable sidearms. Look for a cheap CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than $50. You can still get a resilient airsoft pistol to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
