Learn about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft pistols are fully licensed versions of their real gun counterparts and function and appear in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these kinds of handguns have positives and negatives associated with them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft sidearms allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most durable and typical types of pistols. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These kinds of airsoft weapons are excellent for playing airsoft in cooler weather given that the pressurized CO2 gas is less prone to FPS decreases by low temperatures. This offers great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other kinds of airsoft handguns like green gas stop functioning or hardly fire pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a chrome cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas comprised of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cylinders cannot be refilled and you can normally purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, once they are punctured (firing them in an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You ought to attempt to expend the entire CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some handgun 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 indicator on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the handgun stops firing.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are stored sealed. They come with a supplier’s use by date typically listed on the box or cartridge, but they may last for an extended time past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistol Info
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot the airsoft BBs. The impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon functionality is basically the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS. Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at shorter to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is kept in the pistol’s magazine which can frequently hold roughly 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the pistol style. A sequence of valves, silicone gaskets, and o-rings keep the propane housed in the mag until the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a great idea to fill up and top off the green gas in your magazine each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding players can even take surplus bottles of propane in the field for refilling magazines between breaks in the battle or in-between activities.
When running a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a backup or main weapon, bringing additional handgun mags is recommended for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra magazines on-hand helps you join in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are generally not authorized to be used for indoor shooting. This is a safety standard due to the close range distance of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy launching the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different forms of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols run like a genuine pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane induces the slide to cycle when a new airsoft BB is chambered. The result is very cool, however the handguns typically are more expensive and potentially have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback guns typically cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is kept in the magazine using rubber seals and gaskets, cold temperatures can affect these gaskets and cause the stored gas to escape prior to shooting the pistol. This lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the green gas handgun would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One strategy to this problem is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by positioning them next to your body or near a heat source before the airsoft game play. If you absolutely desire to play with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that propel the BBs out of the handgun’s barrel. The manual functioning of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB guns.
Spring sidearms work the best in springer battles where game players can exclusively use comparable, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters weapon for CQB buildings when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast second follow-up shot will not be called for considering that the other opponent is now hit by the first shot and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. When engaging numerous attackers because the spring airsoft gun just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring handguns are considerably effective under the proper circumstances and airsoft games. Their FPS usually chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These guns usually fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs because the coiled springs are less effective than other types of airsoft weapons. Spring guns can normally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to hit targets accurately decreases quickly. Choosing regular 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a reduced shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet or less with improved target accuracy.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They operate just like an AEG rifle and use pressurized air with electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun magazines typically store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs approximately about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 rounds) and the battery lasts that long. These AEP pistols can effectively fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually grown substantially in the last few years. The early gens were a little bit questionable and undependable, but the new designs have the bugs worked out and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be improved with maximized mag capacities together with accommodating larger batteries.
A huge advantage of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the battery connections to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG handgun design, you can gain a large increase in performance by adopting a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Buy?
Finding the ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends upon how much you can afford, how much you intend to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. Consider a green gas blowback handgun or automatic electric AEP handgun if you have over $100 to invest on your airsoft handgun. These are typically the best of the best, have good performance, and are usually a good gun to invest in. Check out a CO2 pistol or less costly green gas GBB handgun if you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to invest. These will still be fun to play with and can be pretty tough sidearms. Look for a cheaper CO2 or spring handgun if you have fifty dollars or less. You can still get a dependable airsoft pistol to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
