Airsoft Pistol Type Additional Information
Learn more about airsoft pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the best pistol can be a game changer in the accuracy of your shots. Sidearms, naturally, are short range airsoft weapons. They are normally produced after authentic handguns or copies of authentic handguns. Numerous airsoft sidearms are fully certified editions of their real-world weapon counterparts. These airsoft guns can appear and function (without shooting bullets) in the same ways identical to the real guns they are modeled after while shooting airsoft BBs instead of authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these varieties of pistols come with positives and negatives connected with them. Finding out about the types of airsoft sidearms lets you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are among the most standard and long-lasting kinds of pistols. They are all season weapons and operate well in a lot of kinds of temperatures, weather and climates. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is usually housed in the gun’s handle.
These kinds of airsoft weapons are very good for airsoft games in colder temperatures due to the fact that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance decreases caused by temperature. This provides good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for instance where other varieties of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop working or hardly shoot airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but the moment they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the 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 extra gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They are made with a supplier’s use by date usually marked on the package or cartridge cylinder, however they will probably survive for a prolonged period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 handguns, but they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is almost the same as CO2 pistols with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is sealed in the handgun’s grip within the mag and can commonly hold in-between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs based on the gun style. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas sealed in the mag till the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a good habit to top off and refill your green gas supply in your magazine each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding players can also take supplemental bottles of green gas in the field for reloading mags between breaks in the war or in-between games.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a main or backup gun, additional mags are advised for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional mags on-hand allows you to join in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are generally not enabled to be used for indoor game play. This is a safety standard because of the close quarters distance of gamers during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different types of green gas airsoft pistols. To begin with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns operate like an authentic pistol with the slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. Each time a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. The result is extremely cool, however the weapons often cost more and potentially have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns usually cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same between the two types of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Because the green gas or propane is stored in the pistol mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temperatures can affect these gaskets and allow the gas to leak out prior to shooting. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the handgun would usually shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One option to this problem is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by positioning them next to your body prior to the airsoft game play starts. If you truly desire to play with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong coil springs that shoot the BBs out of the gun’s barrel. The manual functions of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring airsoft guns work best in springer battles where airsoft players can just use comparable, single shot spring guns or as an alternative backup gun for CQB environments when you can usually surprise other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast 2nd follow-up shot is not really needed due to the fact that the other player is now hit by the first shot and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. When engaging several enemies since the spring gun only shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring handguns are incredibly efficient under the best circumstances. Their FPS generally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These handguns generally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the pitched springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft weapons. Spring guns can typically shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but accuracy is reduced rapidly. Using conventional 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a decreased shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet with increased accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option 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 grip. They work much like an AEG SMG and use pressurized air pumped through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines normally store about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs as high as about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough spare mags to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery lasts that long. These AEP pistols can accurately shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually grown substantially in the last few years. The earliest generation guns were a bit questionable and undependable, but the latest designs have the issues resolved and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be modded with increased mag storage capacities as well as accommodating bigger batteries.
A huge benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the connectors to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG handgun model, you can get a sizable increase in performance by employing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Buy?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, take a look at a GBB pistol or AEG pistol. If you have between $50 to $100 to spend, evaluate a CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB pistol. You can still play with a durable airsoft pistol by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with other players in the used gun market if you are on a budget.
