Information About Airsoft Handgun Varieties
Find out about airsoft sidearms and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the right sidearm and practicing with it can be a game changer in the accuracy of your shots. Sidearms, naturally, are shorter range airsoft guns. They are quite often manufactured after actual sidearms or clones of genuine pistols. A large number of airsoft sidearms are completely licensed adaptations of their genuine pistol equivalents. These airsoft guns can visually look and run in the same ways almost identically to the real guns they are modeled after while firing airsoft BBs instead of authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these varieties of sidearms come with benefits and differences associated with them. Learning more about the kinds of airsoft pistols lets you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most typical and heavy-duty types of pistols. They are all season guns working well in many kinds of weather, varying temperatures, and environments. These sidearms use high pressure CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is typically kept in the pistol’s magazine in the handle.
These styles of airsoft weapons are great choices for playing in colder weather since the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to performance variations by low temperature. This fact gives CO2 airsoft pistols excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other styles of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop performing or hardly fire pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny metallic cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas consisting of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can typically order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely inside, once they are punctured (shooting them in an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not used up. You ought to attempt to run through the whole CO2 cartridge the exact 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 target practice and consume the remainder of the excess gas. There is no gas level gauge on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the pistol stops cycling.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are kept sealed. They do have the supplier’s use by date typically listed on the box or cartridge cylinder, but they will probably maintain pressure for a very long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearm Information
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, but they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the 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 kept in the pistol’s magazine and can often hold in-between 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending on the handgun design. A sequence of valves, rubber stoppers, and seals keep the propane gas stored in the magazine until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great habit to top off and fill up your green gas reserves in your magazine each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can also take extra bottles of propane gas in the field for refilling mags between breaks in the battle or in-between gameplay.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or secondary gun, bringing additional magazines is suggested for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional mags on-hand helps you reengage in the action throughout firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not enabled to be used for indoor engagements. This is a safety standard because of the close range proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB lower compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various styles of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Since the green gas or propane is housed in the magazine by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can negatively affect these gaskets and cause the gas to escape prior to shooting the pistol. This can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the GBB handgun would typically shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One fix to this problem is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them next to your body or near a heat source before the airsoft game play. If you really need to play with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred pistol.
About Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs that launch the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual action of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols.
Spring pistols work best in springer battles where participants can exclusively use comparable, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters combat weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast second followup shot will not be needed since the other player is already hit and out of the game or headed back to respawn. When engaging a number of adversaries since the springer just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring guns are very effective under the appropriate scenarios. Spring guns can commonly fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs but target accuracy reduces rapidly.
About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to use as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They function similar to an AEG SMG and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines typically hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends if you have enough spare magazines to reload with and the battery maintains its charge that long. These handguns can efficiently fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually increased considerably in the last few years. The initial generation guns were a little bit sketchy and undependable, but the new models have most of the bugs resolved and make effective airsoft backup guns. They can be upgraded with enhanced magazine storage capacities as well as accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial benefit of buying an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the battery connectors to use a bigger battery with higher mAh. Depending on the AEG handgun model, you can get a substantial output in performance using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the standard AEP battery. Beware of changing the elements and wires since you must take into consideration the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. If you have customization concerns, ask an expert weapon tech at your local airsoft store.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Play with?
Choosing the most ideal airsoft handgun for you depends upon how much you can afford, how often you wish to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. Check out a GBB green gas pistol or automatic electric AEP pistol if you have $100 or more to spend on your airsoft pistol. These guns are normally the top-tier guns, have the best efficiency, and can be a good airsoft gun to invest in. Take a look at a CO2 pistol or less costly green gas GBB handgun if you have between more than $50 but less than $100 to put towards an airsoft gun purchase. These will still finish the job and will be pretty sturdy sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring pistol if you have $50 or less. You can still buy a heavy-duty airsoft handgun to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
