About Airsoft Handgun Designs
Learn more about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the right sidearm and practicing with it can make all the difference in aiming your shots. Pistols, naturally, are lower range airsoft guns. They are commonly made after real world sidearms or look-alikes of real pistols. Many different airsoft handguns are completely licensed models of their authentic firearm equivalents. These airsoft guns can visually appear and run in the same ways identically to the real guns they are designed after while shooting airsoft BBs in place of authentic bullets.
There are a few varieties of airsoft pistols including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these kinds of sidearms has positives and negatives connected with them. Finding out about the kinds of airsoft pistols allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most dependable and typical varieties of handguns. They are all season, all weather handguns and operate well in many kinds of weather, varying temperatures, and environments. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge is generally kept in the gun’s handle.
These types of airsoft pistols are great choices for playing in colder temperatures given that the high pressure CO2 gas is less susceptible to performance decreases caused by temperature levels. This fact gives CO2 airsoft guns exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for instance where other sorts of guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely fire pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a chrome cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas comprised of just one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, but once they are opened (firing them in an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are kept sealed. They have a supplier’s use by date usually printed on the package or cylinder, however they will probably maintain pressure for a prolonged period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handgun Details
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 pistols, however they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the exact same as CO2 pistols with the guns around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is sealed in the handgun’s magazine which can frequently hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending upon the handgun model. A sequence of valves, rubber stoppers, and o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the pistol mag up to the point the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great habit to fill up and top off your propane supply in your pistol mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding gamers can additionally carry supplemental bottles of propane in the field for refilling mags in-between breaks in the fight or between activities.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a main or secondary gun, additional pistol mags are strongly recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional magazines on-hand helps you re engage in the action during firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not enabled to be used for indoor gameplay. This is a safety guideline due to the close range proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a lower level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Since the green gas or propane gas is stored in the magazine by rubber o-rings, seals, and silicone gaskets, cold temps can negatively impact these o-rings and allow the stored gas to escape prior to shooting the pistol. This can cause the airsoft BBs to just land a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the green gas handgun would usually shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One strategy to this problem is to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by holding them next to your body or near a heat source just before the airsoft game play. If you truly want to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it may also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol.
Details About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful springs that launch the BBs out of the handgun barrel. They are normally one shot. The manual functioning of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring airsoft guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. When dueling opponents on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry like fully auto airsoft AEG rifles, SMGs, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols, this can make spring guns fun to use, however less efficient.
Spring guns work the best in springer wars where players can only use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters backup gun for CQB buildings when you can usually surprise other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick 2nd followup shot will not be really needed considering that the other person is now struck and out of the game or moving back to respawn. Take care when engaging multiple foes given that the spring airsoft gun just shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring guns are really useful under the best circumstances. Spring guns like pistols can normally fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to engage targets decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Information
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to use as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They function much like an AEG SMG and use forced air with electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol mags typically carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually risen considerably in the last few years. The early gen guns were a little bit unreliable and sketchy, but the newer models have most of the bugs resolved and make reliable airsoft backup guns. They can be modded with maximized magazine capacities in addition to accommodating larger batteries.
A huge advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connectors to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun model, you can gain a big output in performance by taking advantage of a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Buy?
Looking for the ideal airsoft pistol for you depends on how much you can afford, how much you wish to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, consider a green gas blowback or GBB pistol or AEG pistol. These guns are usually the best of the best, have the greatest build qualities, and can be a pretty good pistol to buy. Take a look at a CO2 pistol or less expensive green gas GBB pistol if you have about more than $50 but less than $100 to invest. These guns will still get the job done and are pretty durable sidearms. If you have less than fifty dollars, look for a cheap CO2 or springer pistol. You can still buy a heavy-duty airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
