Information on the Styles of Airsoft Pistols
Find information about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as extra weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft handguns are fully licensed releases of their authentic pistol counterparts and function and appear in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than actual bullets.
There are a few kinds of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these varieties of pistols have positives and negatives associated with them. Finding out about the varieties of airsoft handguns lets you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most long lasting and standard types of pistols. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to move airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These forms of airsoft weapons are excellent for airsoft games in cooler weather conditions because the high pressure CO2 gas is less sensitive to performance decreases with temperature levels. This fact provides very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other sorts of airsoft pistols like green gas cease to operate or hardly shoot pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a metallic cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas comprised of just one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, but as soon as they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the seal) they will start 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 handgun target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if they are stored sealed. They have a manufacturer’s expiry date normally printed on the box or cartridge cylinder, however they will likely last for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. The result on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is almost the exact same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane is held in the handgun’s airsoft magazine which can often hold around 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun model. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the mag until the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a primary or secondary weapon, bringing additional mags is advised for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional magazines on-hand helps you join in the action during firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are great for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not permitted to be used for indoor engagements. This is a safety regulation due to the close quarters proximity of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB lower compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different kinds of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns work like an actual pistol with the slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The propane causes the slide to cycle every time when a fresh airsoft BB is chambered. This functionality is extremely cool, but the GBB handguns usually are more expensive and possibly have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback weapons typically cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas normally performs effectively, it does have restrictions. When green gas and GBB guns are used over the winter playing in the snow or in colder temps (like under 32 deg F). Considering that the green gas or propane gas is held in the mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can negatively affect the seals and make the stored gas to escape prior to shooting. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would normally shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One fix to this problem is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by putting them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket just before the airsoft game play starts. If you truly need to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold, it may also be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite handgun.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong coil springs that propel the BBs out of the gun barrel. They are usually able to only shoot one BB. The manual functions of reloading, cocking, and firing spring handguns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes spring guns fun to use, yet they can be less practical when confronting other players on the airsoft field with upgraded airsoft guns, auto airsoft AEG assault rifles and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring airsoft guns work most effectively in springer wars where opponents can solely use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters weapon for CQB buildings when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast second follow-up shot will not be needed given that the other person is now hit by the first shot and out of the game play or going back to respawn. When engaging many different adversaries considering that the spring gun only shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring handguns are considerably efficient under the proper circumstances. Their FPS generally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the pitched springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring pistols can typically shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to hit targets decreases rapidly. Choosing basic 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a decreased shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet or less with heightened accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring into the field as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They operate much like an AEG gun and use pressured air with electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags typically can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has grown substantially recently. The earliest generations were a little bit sketchy and unreliable, however the latest versions have most of the bugs worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be modified with enhanced magazine capacities and also accommodating larger batteries.
A substantial benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the opportunity to rewire the battery wires to use an increased capacity battery with higher mAh. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you are able to gain a sizable boost in efficiency using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock AEP battery. Beware of customizing the parts and wires because you have to think about the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. Ask an expert weapon tech at your nearest airsoft shop or store if you have modding problems.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Play with?
Picking the right airsoft pistol for you depends on how much you can afford to spend, how often you want to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. If you can afford at least $100 to invest in your airsoft pistol, look at a green gas pistol or AEG handgun. These guns are typically the best of the best, have the best build qualities, and could be a good sidearm to buy. Look into a CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB pistol if you have in-between more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to put into an airsoft gun purchase. Mid-tier guns like these will still do the job and will be sturdy sidearms. Look for a low end CO2 or spring handgun if you have $50 or less. You can still find a resilient airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games.
