Information About Airsoft Pistol Types
Learn about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft pistols are fully approved and licensed editions of their real gun equivalents and function and look in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a number of types of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these kinds of sidearms has benefits and differences connected with them. Finding out about the types of airsoft pistols lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most tough and common types of handguns. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These styles of airsoft pistols are good choices for playing in cold temperatures given that the pressurized CO2 gas is less sensitive to performance variations by temperature levels. This fact gives CO2 airsoft guns great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other styles of guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely shoot pellets.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a metallic cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas consisting of just one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however as soon as they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft gun breaks the 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 opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are kept sealed. They come with the supplier’s best used by date typically noted on the package or cylinder, but they will probably survive for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft sidearms resemble CO2 guns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane for propellant to propel the airsoft pellets. The effect on game play and green gas sidearm functionality is just about the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS. Shots are quickly fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at short to mid-range ranges.
The propane gas is held in the pistol’s airsoft magazine that can typically hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the pistol style. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the mag before the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When playing with a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a main or secondary weapon, extra mags are encouraged for rapidly reloading. Having additional magazines helps you re-engage in the action during firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are generally not allowed to be used during indoor shooting. This is a safety guideline due to the close quarters distance of players during the shooting engagements. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. First, there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns function like a realistic handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” with every shot. The gas triggers the slide to cycle every time when a brand-new airsoft BB is chambered. This functioning while shooting is extremely cool, but the guns frequently are more expensive and potentially have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback guns commonly cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two kinds of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is kept in the mag by rubber seals and gaskets, the cold can influence these o-rings and cause the stored gas to escape prior to shooting the gun. The lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just land a few feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the handgun would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One fix for this challenge is to try to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by holding them next to a heater or by your body just before the game play. This can help to warm up the rubber gaskets and better seal in the green gas. It might also be worth buying a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun if you truly want to play airsoft with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and these guns shoot much better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful coil springs that launch the BBs down the handgun barrel. They are usually one shot. The manual actions of firing, reloading, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. This makes spring airsoft guns interesting to use, but they are usually less useful when fighting other airsoft players on the airsoft field with fully automatic airsoft AEG SMGs and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring guns perform the best in springer wars where game players can just use comparable, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters combat backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually surprise other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a rapid second followup shot isn’t really needed due to the fact that the other player is already hit and out of the game play or headed back to respawn. When engaging several airsoft players considering that the spring airsoft gun only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring handguns are considerably reliable under the most ideal circumstances and airsoft games. Their FPS typically chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs. These handguns usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the coiled springs are less powerful than other kinds of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring pistols can generally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but accuracy diminishes quickly. Using basic 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a range of around 60 to 80 feet with increased accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Details
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring into the field as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They operate just like an AEG rifle and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines usually carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery holds out that long. These AEP pistols can effectively shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has risen significantly in recent years. The first gen AEP guns were a bit unreliable and sketchy, but the new versions have the problems worked out and make effective airsoft secondary guns. They can be improved with maximized mag capacities in addition to accommodating more powerful batteries.
A big benefit of buying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the battery wires to use a larger battery with longer life. Depending upon the AEG pistol version, you are able to get a sizable boost in performance by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative to the standard mini battery. Beware of modifying the elements and wires because you have to take into consideration the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. Ask a professional gun service technician at your local airsoft store if you have modding issues.
What Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have over $100 to use to buy your airsoft pistol, check out a green gas blowback handgun or AEG handgun. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend, check out a good quality CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB handgun. If you have fifty dollars or less, you can still choose a long lasting airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with other players on the used airsoft gun market.
