Airsoft Handgun Type Additional Information
Find out about airsoft sidearms and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best pistol and practicing with it can make a big difference in hitting your shots. Sidearms, by nature, are short range airsoft weapons. They are frequently crafted after real-world guns or replicas of real pistols. A lot of airsoft handguns are completely certified models of their real handgun equivalents. These airsoft guns can function (short of shooting bullets) in the same ways and visually look similarly to the real guns they are modeled around while firing airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these types of handguns come with negatives and positives related to them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft sidearms helps you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most typical and sturdy styles of handguns. They are all-season, all-weather handguns and operate well in a lot of types of weather, varying temperatures, and environments. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs down the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is typically kept in the handgun’s magazine in the handle.
These types of airsoft guns are exceptional for playing airsoft in colder weather given that the pressurized CO2 gas is less sensitive to FPS decreases caused by temperature. This fact gives CO2 airsoft sidearms great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other varieties of airsoft handguns like green gas cease to function or barely fire airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a chrome metal cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas made up of one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, and so the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridges under really high pressure of around ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however once they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are stored sealed. They have the manufacturer’s best used by date normally noted on the package or cartridge, however they may maintain pressure for a very long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is practically the very same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The green gas is housed in the handgun’s magazine which can typically hold in-between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending on the gun model. A bunch of valves, silicone gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas housed in the mag till the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good habit to top off and fill up your green gas supply in the magazine each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can even bring additional bottles of green gas or propane in the field for refilling mags between breaks in the battle or between missions.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a secondary or main weapon, bringing additional handgun magazines is suggested for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra mags on-hand helps you get back in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not allowed to be used during indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety standard due to the close range distance of players during shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a lower level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different styles of green gas airsoft handguns. To start with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols function like an authentic pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane gas triggers the slide to cycle each time a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This effect is very cool, however the GBB weapons often are more expensive and likely have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback pistols generally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same between the two varieties of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Since the green gas or propane is kept in the mag using rubber seals and gaskets, cold weather can negatively affect these seals and cause the stored gas to leak out before shooting the handgun. This can make the airsoft BBs to just land a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the handgun would normally shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One solution to this problem is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by holding them inside your jacket next to your body before game play. This can help to warm up the seals and better seal in the green gas. It may also be worth checking out a CO2 version of your favorite handgun if you really want to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform far better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that send the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual action of cocking, firing, and reloading spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols.
Spring guns perform best in springer battles where players can exclusively use comparable, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters combat weapon for CQB settings when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a rapid second follow-up shot isn’t needed because the other opponent is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game or heading back to respawn. When engaging several enemies given that the spring airsoft gun simply shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring pistols are really reliable under the most ideal game circumstances. Spring guns can typically shoot accurately up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs however accuracy reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Info
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to carry as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They operate similar to an AEG gun and use pressured air with electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines usually can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually increased considerably in the last few years. The first gen AEP guns were a bit questionable and undependable, however the new designs have most of the problems worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be modded with increased magazine storage capacities along with accommodating larger batteries.
A big benefit of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the opportunity to rewire the battery connectors to use a bigger battery with longer life. Depending upon the AEG pistol model, you are able to gain a sizable jump in performance by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) in place of the stock battery. Be careful when changing the parts and wires since you need to think about the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. If you have modding concerns, ask a pro airsoft technician at your closest airsoft store or shop.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Buy?
Selecting the right airsoft pistol for you depends upon how much you can afford, how much you intend to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. Look at a GBB green gas pistol or AEG handgun if you have more than $100 to invest on your airsoft handgun. These kinds of guns are usually the top of the line, have the very best performance, and can be an excellent gun to get. If you have between more than $50 but less than $100 to spend on upgrading your airsoft arsenal, look at a CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB pistol. Middle of the road guns like these will still function well and are pretty resilient sidearms. If you have fifty dollars or less, shop for a lower end CO2 or springer pistol. You can still find a long lasting airsoft pistol to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
