Information About the Kinds of Airsoft Pistols
Find out about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal sidearm and practicing with it can make all the difference in the accuracy of your shots. Handguns, by nature, are lower range airsoft guns. They are generally crafted after authentic handguns or replications of genuine handguns. Many airsoft sidearms are completely licensed versions of their genuine pistol equivalents. These airsoft guns can appear and function in the same ways identically to the real guns they are modeled after while firing airsoft BBs instead of real world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these types of pistols have positives and negatives related to them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft sidearms helps you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most resilient and common varieties of handguns. They are all-season, all-weather pistols and work well in a lot of kinds of temperatures, weather and climates. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is usually located in the gun’s magazine in the handle.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are great choices for airsoft games in colder weather since the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to performance variations caused by low temperature. This provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other sorts of sidearms like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely fire BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a metal cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cartridge cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can typically order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely within, but soon after they are opened (firing them in an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You need to try to run through the whole CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. 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 remaining additional gas. There is no gas level gauge on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the pistol stops shooting airsoft BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They do have a supplier’s use by date usually printed on the box or cartridge cylinder, but they can maintain pressure for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 pistols, however they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is almost the very same as CO2 handguns with the weapons at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the pistol’s magazine which can frequently hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas stored in the magazine before the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When running a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a main or secondary weapon, bringing additional handgun mags is encouraged for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional magazines allows you to get back in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not approved to be used during indoor engagements. This is an essential safety regulation due to the close quarters proximity of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a lower level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different sorts of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas normally can be used very well on the airsoft field, it does have limitations. When green gas and GBB guns are used in the winter playing in the snow or in colder temperatures (such as under 32 degrees F). Given that the green gas or propane is held in the magazine by rubber seals and gaskets, the cold can affect these seals and trigger the gas to escape prior to firing the handgun. This can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot several feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer temps).
One solution to this issue is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by placing them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket just before game play starts. If you really desire to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Info
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that send the BBs out of the gun’s barrel. The manual action of firing, reloading, and cocking spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns.
Spring handguns perform most effectively in springer battles where participants can solely use similar, single shot spring guns or as a transition backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually surprise other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid 2nd followup shot isn’t required given that the other player is already struck and out of the gameplay or headed back to respawn. Be careful when engaging many different opponents considering that the gun just fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring pistols are considerably efficient under the best situations. Their FPS commonly chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These handguns typically fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the pitched springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring handguns can normally be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but precision is reduced quickly. Choosing normal 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a decreased range of about 60 to 80 feet with increased precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Info
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to carry as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They operate similar to an AEG gun and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG handgun magazines generally can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends if you have enough spare mags to reload with and the battery holds out that long. These AEP handguns can accurately fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually risen significantly in the last few years. The early gen guns were a little bit questionable and undependable, but the latest versions have the deficiencies resolved and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modded with increased magazine storage capacities as well as accommodating more powerful batteries.
A big advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the connectors to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can get a sizable output in performance by adopting a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the stock battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Play with?
Picking out the best airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you can afford to spend, how often you wish to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. Look at a GBB handgun or AEG handgun if you have over one-hundred dollars to invest on your airsoft pistol. These are typically the best of the best, have great build qualities, and are usually an excellent gun to get. If you have about more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to use for your gun, look into a CO2 pistol or less expensive green gas pistol. Middle of the road guns like these will still be fun to play with and are pretty sturdy sidearms. If you have less than fifty dollars, try to find a lower end CO2 or springer handgun. You can still find a tough airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games.
