Airsoft Pistol Design Additional Information
Find info about airsoft guns like pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal pistol and practicing with it can be a game changer in blasting your shots. Sidearms, by nature, are short range airsoft weapons. They are quite often developed after firearm sidearms or copies of genuine handguns. A large number of airsoft pistols are fully licensed editions of their genuine firearm equivalents. These airsoft guns can visually look and function (without shooting bullets) in the same ways similarly to the real guns they are designed after while shooting airsoft BBs in place of real-world bullets.
There are a few varieties of airsoft handguns such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these styles of pistols come with benefits and differences 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 game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most popular and long-lasting types of pistols. They are all-season, all-weather weapons and operate well in many kinds of weather conditions and environments. These sidearms use high pressure CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge is normally stored in the gun’s mag inside the handle.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are exceptional for playing in cooler temperatures given that the compressed CO2 gas is less prone to FPS decreases caused by low temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft guns good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other types of airsoft handguns like green gas cease to operate or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a chrome metal cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas made up of just one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, hence the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridges under extremely high pressure of around ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 cylinders cannot be refilled and you can commonly order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, once they are punctured (firing them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not expended. You ought to attempt to burn up the whole CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas if the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level sign on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the pistol stops shooting BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They are made with a supplier’s expiry date typically noted on the package or cylinder, however, they may maintain pressure for a long time past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. The result on the battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is stored in the handgun’s airsoft magazine that can normally hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the pistol model. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the magazine till the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a primary or secondary weapon, additional mags are advised for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional magazines on-hand helps you re-engage in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are great for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not approved to be used during indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety guideline 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 shorter pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various sorts of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Because the green gas or propane is kept in the mag by using rubber seals and gaskets, cold temperatures can impact these gaskets and allow the stored gas to leak out prior to shooting. This lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just land a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would typically shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One option to fix this issue is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by putting them near your body just before the airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the seals, gaskets, and valves and help to seal in the green gas. It can also be worth buying a CO2 version of your preferred handgun if you really need to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and these guns shoot better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Details About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by strong springs that launch the BBs out of the handgun barrel. They are typically only able to shoot one BB. The manual actions of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring handguns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. When facing competitors on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles like fully auto airsoft AEG assault rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns, this makes them entertaining to use, but less efficient.
Spring airsoft guns perform the best in springer battles where game players can just use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a transition weapon for CQB buildings when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast second followup shot isn’t called for since the other player is now hit by the first shot and out of the game or headed back to respawn. When engaging many different players since the spring gun just shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring pistols are extremely efficient under the proper scenarios. Their FPS usually chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the coiled springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring guns can generally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but precision decreases quickly. Using basic 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a range of around 60 to 80 feet or less with improved precision.
Facts About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to carry as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They function much like an AEG rifle and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG handgun mags usually can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually increased significantly over the last few years. The earliest generations were a little bit questionable and undependable, but the newer versions have most of the deficiencies resolved and make effective airsoft backup guns. They can be modded with enhanced magazine storage capacities and by accommodating more powerful batteries.
A big perk of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the connectors to use a larger battery with longer life. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can get a big boost in performance by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the standard mini battery. Beware of adjusting the parts and wires since you have to take into account the volts, mAh, and loads of the battery. Ask a pro weapon technician at your closest airsoft shop if you have customization concerns.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me?
Picking the ideal airsoft handgun for you depends upon how much you want to spend, how much you desire to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. Take a look at a GBB handgun or automatic electric AEP pistol if you have more than one-hundred dollars to invest on your airsoft handgun. These guns are usually the top of the line, have the most effective build qualities, and are usually a really good pistol to buy. If you have in-between more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to spend on upgrading your airsoft arsenal, check out a CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB pistol. Middle of the road guns like these will still function well and will be resilient sidearms. Look for a low end CO2 or spring pistol if you have fifty dollars or less. You can still buy a dependable airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
