About the Varieties of Airsoft Pistols
Find information about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft handguns are completely certified replications of their real pistol equivalents and operate and appear in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than real bullets.
There are a few types of airsoft handguns including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these kinds of sidearms come with benefits and differences associated with them. Finding out about the types of airsoft sidearms allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most sturdy and standard types of sidearms. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to launch airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These forms of airsoft guns are great choices for playing airsoft in cooler temperatures since the high pressure CO2 gas is less vulnerable to performance decreases caused by temperature. This fact offers good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for example where other kinds of airsoft pistols like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly shoot BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metal cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas comprised of just one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 cartridge cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can typically purchase them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely within, once they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You should try to consume the entire CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level gauge on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the gun stops cycling.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if they are stored sealed. They are made with a manufacturer’s best used by date typically noted on the package or cartridge, but they will maintain pressure for a long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handgun Information
Green gas airsoft sidearms resemble CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to fire 6mm airsoft BBs. The impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas sidearm operation is basically the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and can hit targets at very short to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is stored in the pistol’s mag which can often hold between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending on the gun design. A bunch of valves, silicone stoppers, and o-rings keep the gas stored in the magazine up to the point the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great plan to fill up and top off the green gas in the mag each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can additionally carry supplemental bottles of propane in the field for refilling in-between lulls in the battle or in-between missions.
When playing with a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a backup or primary gun, bringing extra mags is suggested for rapidly reloading. Having additional magazines on-hand helps you join in the action during firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles and full-sized AEGs are typically not authorized to be used during indoor shooting. This is a safety rule due to the close range proximity of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy sending the BB lower compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and 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 an authentic handgun with the slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. Every time a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas induces the slide to cycle. The result is really cool, but the pistols often are more expensive and likely have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback handguns commonly cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two varieties of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas usually can be used very well on the airsoft field, it does have issues. When green gas and GBB guns are used over the winter season in the snow or in cold weather conditions (such as below 32 degrees F). Considering that the green gas or propane is held in the weapon’s magazine by silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively impact the seals and make the stored gas to escape before shooting. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot several feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer temps).
One fix for this challenge is to try to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by holding them near your body just before the airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the seals, gaskets, and valves and help to seal in the green gas. It might also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol if you really want to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and perform much better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Info
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful coil springs that propel the BBs down the gun barrel. They are normally one shot only. The manual actions of cocking, reloading, and firing spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes them fun to use, however they are less useful when dealing with other airsoft players on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry like auto airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring handguns perform best in springer battles where opponents can just use comparable, single shot spring weapons or as a transition backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick 2nd followup shot isn’t called for considering that the other opponent is already struck and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. Beware when fighting several opponents considering the spring weapon just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring handguns are really reliable under the correct circumstances. Spring pistols can generally shoot accurately up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs but precision decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Info
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to carry as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They work just like an AEG rifle and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags usually can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs as high as about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends if you have enough spare magazines to reload the gun and the battery lasts that long. These handguns can effectively shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually grown significantly recently. The earliest generations were a bit sketchy and undependable, but the latest versions have most of the issues worked out and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be improved with maximized mag capacities in addition to accommodating bigger batteries.
A large benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the adapters to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG pistol design, you can gain a substantial increase in functionality by adopting a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me?
If you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol, take a look at a green gas blowback pistol or AEG handgun. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to invest, evaluate a CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB pistol. You can still get a durable airsoft pistol by checking out cheaper pistols and by shopping for used guns if you are looking for a deal.
