Airsoft Pistol Design Additional Info
Learn more about airsoft pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the best handgun can make all the difference in aiming your shots. Pistols, by nature, are much shorter range airsoft weapons. They are typically produced after actual guns or imitations of actual pistols. Lots of airsoft handguns are completely licensed models of their real-world weapon counterparts. These airsoft guns can appear and function (without shooting bullets) in the same ways almost identically to the real guns they are designed around while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these kinds of handguns come with positives and negatives related to them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft handguns allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most heavy duty and popular types of pistols. They are all-season, all-weather handguns and function well in lots of kinds of varying temperatures, weather and environments. These sidearms use pressurized CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is usually stored in the gun’s handle.
These styles of airsoft guns are great for airsoft games in colder weather conditions given that the pressurized CO2 gas is less prone to variation with low temperatures. This fact offers good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other types of guns like green gas cease to operate or barely fire airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas composed of one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, and so the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridges under very high pressure of near ~ 800psi that translates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however as soon as they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft pistol 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 excess gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if they are kept sealed. They do have the manufacturer’s expiry date usually marked on the box or cylinder, but they will probably survive for a prolonged time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the exact same as CO2 handguns with the weapons at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is housed in the handgun’s mag which can commonly hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the gun style. A series of valves, rubberized stoppers, and o-rings keep the green gas housed in the magazine up to when the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great choice to top off and refill your propane supply in your mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can additionally take extra bottles of propane gas in the field for reloading mags in-between breaks in the fight or in-between gameplay.
When playing with a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a main or secondary gun, bringing extra magazines is encouraged for quickly reloading. Having additional mags on-hand helps you re-engage in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are generally not allowed to be used for indoor engagements. This is a safety standard due to the close range distance of players during shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy launching the BB lower 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 types of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns operate like an actual handgun with the slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. Each time a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas induces the slide to cycle. The result is very cool, but the handguns frequently are more expensive and possibly have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns have a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback guns usually cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas normally can be used effectively on the airsoft field, it does have constraints. When green gas and GBB guns are used over the winter airsoft games in the snow or in colder weather conditions (such as under 32 degrees F). Given that the green gas or propane gas is kept in the mag using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temperatures can impair these seals and trigger the stored gas to escape before firing the pistol. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot several feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would typically shoot BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer temps).
One solution to this issue is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them next to your body before the airsoft game play. If you truly want to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong springs that fire the airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. They are generally only able to shoot one BB. The manual functions of firing, reloading, and cocking spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. This makes them interesting to use, however they are less practical when dealing with opponents on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons, auto airsoft AEG rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring airsoft guns work best in springer battles where airsoft players can only use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently surprise other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast 2nd followup shot is not required because the other opponent is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. When engaging multiple players given that the spring gun just shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring pistols are quite efficient under the proper game conditions. Spring guns like pistols can normally shoot up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs but the ability to hit targets decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Facts
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to carry as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They work just like an AEG SMG and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun mags normally can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs right up to around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute assuming you have enough magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery holds out that long. These AEP pistols can effectively fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has increased significantly recently. The initial gens were a little bit undependable and sketchy, but the more recent versions have most of the issues worked out and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be improved with increased magazine storage capacities in addition to accommodating bigger batteries.
A significant advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the connections to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG handgun design, you can gain a substantial jump in performance by using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, check out a GBB handgun or AEG handgun. If you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to upgrade your gun, check out a CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB pistol. You can still look for a resilient airsoft pistol by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with other players in the used gun market if you need to save money.
