Airsoft Pistol Design Information
Find information about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft handguns are fully approved and licensed replications of their genuine handgun equivalents and look and function in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these kinds of handguns come with benefits and differences connected with them. Finding out about the types of airsoft pistols allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most common and long lasting types of handguns. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are great for airsoft games in cold and snowy weather due to the fact that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance variations caused by low temperatures. This provides good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other styles of airsoft handguns like green gas stop working or hardly fire airsoft BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a chrome metal cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas composed of one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, thus the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridges under very high pressure of near ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, but when they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin 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 remaining gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They come with the maker’s best used by date normally listed on the box or cartridge cylinder, but they may survive for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel 6mm airsoft pellets. The outcome on game play and green gas handgun efficiency is basically the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or automatic shooting modes and accurate at short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is stored in the handgun’s mag and can typically hold around 15 to 20+ BBs based on the handgun style. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the propane housed in the pistol magazine prior to when the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good plan to top off and fill up the green gas in the mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can also carry supplemental bottles of green gas in the field for refilling magazines in-between lulls in the war or between games.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or main gun, bringing additional handgun magazines is strongly recommended for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra mags on-hand helps you join in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are great for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are generally not authorized to be used for indoor game play. This is an essential safety standard due to the close range distance of airsoft players during the shooting engagements. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB at a decreased level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. To start with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns operate like a real pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. When a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas induces the slide to cycle. This cycling is extremely cool, however the guns frequently are more expensive and potentially have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback handguns commonly cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Because the green gas or propane is kept in the magazine by rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, the cold can negatively affect these gaskets and cause the stored gas to escape before shooting the pistol. This can make the airsoft BBs to merely land a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the green gas pistol would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One strategy to this issue is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by holding them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket just before game play starts. If you absolutely want to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that launch the BBs out of the gun barrel. They are typically single shot. The manual functioning of cocking, firing, and reloading spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes spring airsoft guns fun to use, however they are less successful when confronting other players on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons and fully auto airsoft AEG assault rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring guns perform the best in springer battles where game players can solely use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a transition backup gun for CQB buildings when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast 2nd follow-up shot is not required since the other person is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game play or heading back to respawn. When engaging many different adversaries considering that the weapon just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring handguns are remarkably useful under the most ideal circumstances and airsoft games. Their FPS commonly chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These weapons normally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the coiled springs are less effective than other types of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring pistols can generally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets is reduced quickly. Shooting regular 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a decreased shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet or less with increased precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Facts
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to use as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They operate just like an AEG gun and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG handgun magazines usually hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS when loaded 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 which is estimated if you have enough spare mags to reload and the battery holds out that long. These pistols can precisely fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually grown substantially recently. The early generation guns were a little bit sketchy and unreliable, however the more recent versions have most of the problems worked out and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further modified with enhanced mag capacities together with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A big advantage of buying an AEG pistol is that you have the capacity to rewire the adapters to use a more robust battery with longer life. Depending on the AEG handgun model, you are able to get a substantial jump in efficiency utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock AEP battery. Beware of customizing the parts and the gun’s wires since you must take into account the voltages, mAh, and loads of the batteries. If you have modding questions, ask a professional weapon service technician at your nearest airsoft shop.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Buy?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, evaluate a GBB pistol or AEG handgun. If you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to buy a gun, review a CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB pistol. You can still play with a long lasting airsoft pistol by checking out lower end pistols and by shopping for used pistols if you need to save money.
