Airsoft Pistol Type Additional Info
Learn more about airsoft handguns and pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the right pistol can make a big difference in hitting your shots. Sidearms, naturally, are diminished range airsoft weapons. They are frequently made after real world guns or copies of authentic pistols. A lot of airsoft pistols are completely licensed versions of their real pistol equivalents. These airsoft guns can function (except for shooting bullets) in the same ways and look identically to the real guns they are modeled around while blasting airsoft BBs in place of real bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these types of sidearms has negatives and positives related to them. Finding out about the kinds of airsoft pistols helps you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most durable and popular styles of handguns. They are all weather handguns and work well in a lot of types of weather, extreme temperatures, and climates. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is typically housed in the gun’s magazine inside the handle.
These styles of airsoft handguns are good choices for playing airsoft in cooler weather conditions since the pressurized CO2 gas is less susceptible to performance decreases with low temperatures. This fact provides good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other varieties of pistols like green gas cease to operate or barely shoot BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a chrome metal cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas made up of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, so the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cylinders under extremely high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, however as soon as they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft pistol 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 opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are stored sealed. They come with a maker’s best used by date normally marked on the box or cartridge cylinder, however they will survive for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns function similarly to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot the airsoft BBs. The outcome on gameplay and green gas weapon performance is just about the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are rapidly fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and accurate at short to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s mag and can often hold roughly 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending on the pistol design. A sequence of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the gas sealed in the pistol magazine until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good idea to top off and refill your propane supply in your pistol mag each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can even carry extra bottles of green gas in the field for refilling in-between lulls in the war or between missions.
When carrying a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a main or backup gun, bringing additional handgun mags is advised for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional mags allows you to reengage in the action during firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not permitted to be used for indoor game play. This is a safety guideline because of the close quarters distance of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various sorts of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas typically performs extremely well on the airsoft field, it does have limitations. When they are used throughout the winter playing in the snow or in colder weather conditions (such as under 32 degrees F). Given that the green gas or propane is stored in the weapon’s mag by rubber seals and gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively impact these seals and cause the stored gas to seep out prior to firing the pistol. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would typically shoot BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather).
One fix for this problem is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by holding them inside your jacket next to your body before airsoft game play. This can help to heat up the seals, gaskets, and valves and help to seal in the green gas. If you definitely desire to have fun with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold, it may also be worth checking out a CO2 version of your preferred pistol. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by strong springs that launch the airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are generally one shot only. The manual functioning of reloading, firing, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. This makes spring airsoft pistols enjoyable to use, yet they can be less efficient when going up against opponents on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons, automatic airsoft AEG rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring sidearms and guns perform the best in springer battles where participants can just use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a transitional weapon for CQB buildings when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick 2nd followup shot isn’t required given that the other person is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game play or heading back to respawn. Look out when attacking several enemies given that the springer only shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring handguns are really effective under the most ideal scenarios and airsoft games. Spring handguns can typically fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however precision decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Information
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to use as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They function similar to an AEG SMG and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags generally carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually increased significantly in recent years. The earliest generations were a bit undependable and questionable, but the latest versions have most of the problems resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be further upgraded with maximized magazine storage capacities and by accommodating more powerful batteries.
A huge advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the adapters to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun model, you can gain a huge increase in efficiency by employing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, take a look at a GBB pistol or AEG pistol. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to buy a gun, look at a CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB handgun. You can still play with a long lasting airsoft pistol by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with other players in the used airsoft gun market if you need to save money.
