About Airsoft Handgun Varieties
Learn about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft handguns are fully manufactured variations of their real firearm equivalents and function and look in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these forms of pistols has benefits and differences related to them. Learning about the styles of airsoft handguns allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are among the most heavy duty and common kinds of pistols. They are all weather pistols working well in a lot of types of weather, varying temperatures, and climates. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is normally located in the handgun’s magazine inside the handle.
These types of airsoft weapons are great choices for playing airsoft in colder temperatures because the high pressure CO2 gas is less sensitive to performance decreases by low temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft pistols excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for instance where other sorts of pistols like green gas stop functioning or hardly fire airsoft BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a metal cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cartridges cannot be refilled and you can commonly purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas securely inside, once they are opened (firing them in an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You ought to try to use up the entire 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 excess gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the handgun stops firing.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are kept sealed. They are made with the maker’s expiry date usually marked on the package or cylinder, however, they will likely stay pressurized for a long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Green Gas Airsoft Handgun Details
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 pistols, however they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is practically the exact same as CO2 handguns with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stashed in the handgun’s mag which can frequently hold between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun design. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the mag up until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When running a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a main or secondary gun, bringing additional mags is strongly recommended for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional magazines helps you re-engage in the action throughout firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields because long guns and full-sized AEGs are generally not enabled to be used during indoor gameplay. This is a safety guideline because of the close quarters proximity of players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different types of green gas airsoft pistols. To start with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols work like a realistic pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. Each time a new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas induces the slide to cycle. This cycling is really cool, but the GBB pistols often cost more and possibly have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns commonly cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Because the green gas or propane gas is held in the handgun magazine by rubber seals and gaskets, cold weather can influence these gaskets and allow the gas to escape prior to shooting the handgun. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One fix for this problem is to try to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by holding them near your body before airsoft game play. This can help to warm the seals and valves and help to seal in the green gas. It can also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol if you actually need to play airsoft with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun shoots far better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Details
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful springs that fire the airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. They are generally one shot only. The manual functions of firing, reloading, and cocking spring pistols makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. When taking on rivals on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry like auto airsoft AEG rifles and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols, this makes spring guns entertaining to use, but less efficient.
Spring airsoft guns perform most effectively in springer wars where players can exclusively use related, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a rapid second followup shot is not really needed considering that the other opponent is already hit by the first BB and out of the game play or moving back to respawn. Look out when engaging many different foes given that the weapon just fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring handguns are extremely useful under the most ideal conditions during games. Spring handguns can generally fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however target accuracy reduces quickly.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to carry as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They operate much like an AEG gun and use compressed air with electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines generally hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare magazines to reload and the battery holds out that long. These handguns can precisely fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually increased substantially in recent years. The earliest gens were a little bit sketchy and unreliable, however the newer designs have the deficiencies resolved and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be modified with increased mag capacities as well as accommodating bigger batteries.
A large advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the opportunity to rewire the battery connectors to use a bigger battery. Based on the AEG pistol design, you are able to get a substantial leap in functionality using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative to the stock battery. Take care of modifying the elements and the gun’s wires since you must consider the voltages, mAh, and loads of the batteries. If you have customization questions, ask an experienced gun specialist at your local airsoft store.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
If you have $100 or more to spend on your airsoft pistol, take a look at a GBB pistol or AEG handgun. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend, look at a CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB pistol. If you are on a budget, you can still look for a long lasting airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
