Airsoft Handgun Design Information
Find out about airsoft pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal handgun and practicing with it can be a game changer in blasting your shots. Pistols, naturally, are diminished range airsoft weapons. They are generally fashioned after authentic sidearms or look-alikes of legitimate pistols. Quite a few airsoft pistols are completely licensed models of their authentic handgun counterparts. These airsoft guns can function (sans shooting bullets) in the same ways and visually appear similarly to the real guns they are designed around while blasting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a few kinds of airsoft sidearms including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these styles of sidearms have benefits and differences associated with them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft handguns allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most popular and long lasting types of pistols. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These types of airsoft pistols are exceptional for airsoft games in cooler temperatures given that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to performance variations caused by low temperature. This fact provides good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other styles of airsoft guns like green gas cease to function or hardly shoot pellets.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas composed of just one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, therefore the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cylinders under really high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi that converts to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, but once they are opened (firing them in an airsoft handgun 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 pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are kept sealed. They have the maker’s use by date normally listed on the box or cylinder, however, they may last for a long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols function similarly to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft BBs. The impact on airsoft games and green gas pistol performance is basically the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are efficiently fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and accurate at short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is sealed in the pistol’s mag which can typically hold roughly 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs based on the gun model. A series of valves, silicone stoppers, and o-rings keep the gas sealed in the magazine up to when the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a good choice to top off and refill the propane reserves in your mag each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding players can also take extra bottles of green gas or propane in the field for reloading in-between breaks in the fight or between gameplay.
When playing with a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a primary or backup weapon, additional magazines are strongly recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional mags on-hand helps you get back in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not approved to be used during indoor game play. This is an essential safety guideline because of the close range distance of gamers during shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a decreased level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different varieties of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas typically functions extremely well, it does have drawbacks. When green gas and GBB guns are used during the winter playing in the snow or in colder temps (like below 32 degrees F). Because the green gas or propane is held in the weapon’s magazine using silicone seals and gaskets, low temperatures can impact the seals and trigger the gas to escape prior to shooting. This can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot several feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would typically shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One solution to this challenge is to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by putting them next to a heat source or by your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to heat up the seals, gaskets, and valves and help to seal in the green gas. It can also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun if you truly need to play with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and these guns shoot better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Details
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by strong coil springs that propel the airsoft BBs down the gun barrel. They are usually able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual functions of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring handguns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. When taking on attackers on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles, fully automatic airsoft AEG assault rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols, this can make them entertaining to use, but less efficient.
Spring sidearms work most effectively in springer battles where players can just use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a transitional backup weapon for CQB environments when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick 2nd followup shot is not needed due to the fact that the other person is already hit by the first shot and out of the game play or running back to respawn. Look out when attacking a number of enemies because the springer just fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring pistols are extremely effective under the right game conditions. Spring handguns can generally shoot accurately up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to hit targets reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Facts
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to bring as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They work just like an AEG gun and use pressurized air with electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun magazines typically hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs right up to around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare mags to reload the gun and the battery lasts that long. These pistols can accurately shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has risen substantially over the last few years. The first gen guns were a bit unreliable and questionable, but the newer designs have most of the problems resolved and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be further modded with enhanced magazine capacities in addition to accommodating bigger batteries.
A huge perk of buying an AEG handgun is that you have the capacity to rewire the battery connectors to use a bigger battery with longer life. Based on the AEG pistol style, you can gain a sizable output in functionality by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative to the standard AEP battery. Beware of customizing the parts and the gun’s wires because you must take into consideration the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. Ask an expert gun technician at your nearest airsoft shop if you have modding concerns.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Play with?
Picking out the most ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends upon how much you can afford, how often you want to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. Check out a green gas blowback pistol or AEP pistol if you have over $100 to invest on your airsoft handgun. These kinds of pistols are normally the best of the best, have the most effective efficiency, and could be a really good airsoft gun to invest in. If you can afford around fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend on upgrading your airsoft arsenal, take a look at a CO2 pistol or cheaper green gas pistol. These guns will still function well and can be pretty resilient sidearms. If you have less than $50, find a cheap CO2 or spring handgun. You can still find a dependable airsoft pistol to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
