Info About the Types of Airsoft Handguns
Find information about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the ideal sidearm can make all the difference in nailing your shots. Pistols, naturally, are diminished range airsoft weapons. They are most often made after authentic handguns or imitations of genuine handguns. Many airsoft pistols are completely licensed models of their authentic firearm equivalents. These airsoft guns can function (without shooting bullets) in the same ways and look identical to the real guns they are modeled around while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these forms of sidearms have negatives and positives associated with them. Learning more about the kinds of airsoft handguns allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most heavy-duty and popular types of handguns. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These forms of airsoft weapons are very good for playing airsoft in cooler temperatures since the compressed CO2 gas is less sensitive to performance decreases with temperature levels. This fact gives CO2 airsoft handguns excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other styles of airsoft guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely shoot pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas made up of 1 carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, and so the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cylinders under really high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cartridges are not reusable and you can typically purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, but when they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft gun breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are not used up. You ought to attempt to burn up the whole CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the handgun stops shooting BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They do have the supplier’s use by date normally noted on the box or cylinder, however, they will likely stay pressurized for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Information 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 gas for propellant to shoot the airsoft BBs. The result on the airsoft battlefield and green gas handgun performance is basically the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ feet per second. Shots are quickly fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and accurate at very short to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is stashed in the handgun’s mag that can usually hold around 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol model. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the magazine until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup weapon, bringing extra handgun mags is advised for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional magazines on-hand allows you to re engage in the action during firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not approved to be used for indoor engagements. This is an essential safety rule because of the close range distance of players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various forms of green gas airsoft handguns. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns work like an authentic handgun with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The gas causes the slide to cycle each time a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This functionality is very cool, however the GBB guns frequently are more expensive and potentially have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback handguns usually cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two varieties of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Since the green gas or propane is kept in the pistol mag using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively affect these o-rings and cause the stored gas to leak out prior to shooting the gun. The lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only land a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would typically shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One fix for this challenge is to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by placing them near your body just before the game play. This can help to warm the seals and help to seal in the green gas. If you really want to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be better to get a CO2 variation of your preferred pistol. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and perform far better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful coil springs that launch the airsoft BBs down the gun barrel. They are usually one shot. The manual functions of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes spring airsoft guns enjoyable to use, but they are usually less effective when facing opponents on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry like automatic airsoft AEG rifles and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring sidearms perform most effectively in springer wars where players can just use comparable, single shot spring handguns or as a transition backup weapon for CQB environments when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a rapid second follow-up shot will not be really needed because the other opponent is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the gameplay or headed back to respawn. When engaging several rivals because the springer only fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring guns are extremely effective under the best circumstances and airsoft games. Their FPS normally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These weapons usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft guns. Spring pistols can typically shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to hit targets accurately is reduced rapidly. Choosing regular 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a reduced range of about 60 to 80 feet or less with increased accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Facts
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to use as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They operate similar to an AEG gun and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun magazines normally 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 considerably recently. The earliest gen AEP guns were a bit undependable and questionable, but the new versions have the deficiencies worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be further modded with maximized mag storage capacities and also accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial benefit of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun design, you can gain a substantial output in performance by adopting a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock battery.
What Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, you may want to consider a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric handgun. If you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to shell out, evaluate a good quality CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB pistol. You can still play with a long lasting airsoft handgun by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with other players in the used airsoft gun market if you are looking for a deal.
