Info About Airsoft Pistol Kinds
Find out about airsoft handguns 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 all the difference in hitting your shots. Handguns, naturally, are much shorter range airsoft guns. They are usually crafted after authentic guns or miniatures of real pistols. Many airsoft pistols are completely licensed adaptations of their authentic handgun equivalents. These airsoft guns can look and function in the same ways identically to the real guns they are modeled after while firing airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are several kinds of airsoft pistols including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these forms of sidearms come with negatives and positives connected with them. Finding out about the varieties of airsoft sidearms lets you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most typical and resilient types of handguns. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to launch airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These forms of airsoft weapons are exceptional for airsoft games in colder temperatures since the compressed CO2 gas is less susceptible to performance decreases by low temperatures. This fact provides very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for example where other types of sidearms like green gas stop performing or barely fire airsoft BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a chrome metal cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas consisting of just one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, as a result the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridges under very high pressure of about ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 cartridges are not refillable and you can commonly order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely within, once they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not expended. You need to attempt to deplete 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 additional gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indicator on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the weapon stops shooting airsoft BBs.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are kept sealed. They come with the supplier’s expiration date typically listed on the package or cylinder, however, they will stay pressurized for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft pistols function similarly to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft BBs. The impact on the battlefield and green gas handgun functionality is essentially the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are efficiently fired in automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can accurately hit targets at very short to mid-range proximities.
The propane is stashed in the handgun’s airsoft mag which can frequently hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the gas stored in the mag until the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a main or backup gun, extra handgun magazines are encouraged for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra mags on-hand allows you to reengage in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are great for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not enabled to be used for indoor shooting. This is an essential safety standard because of the close quarters distance of gamers during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy sending the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various sorts of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols 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 Limits
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is housed in the pistol mag by using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, the cold can impact these o-rings and cause the stored gas to leak out prior to shooting the gun. This can make the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the GBB handgun would normally shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One option to fix this issue is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by holding them next to your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to heat up the seals and help to seal in the green gas. If you definitely prefer to have fun with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be better to buy a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and these guns shoot far better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Details About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful coil springs that propel the airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel. They are normally only able to shoot one BB. The manual functioning of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring handguns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When going up against challengers on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons, automatic airsoft AEG assault rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns, this can make spring airsoft guns enjoyable to use, however less effective.
Spring pistols work best in springer battles where participants can just use related, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast second followup shot will not be needed given that the other person is now hit by the first BB and out of the game play or running back to respawn. When engaging multiple opponents given that the weapon simply fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring guns are really effective under the right circumstances. Their FPS usually chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These guns typically fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring pistols can normally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to engage targets accurately decreases quickly. Choosing standard 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet with enhanced target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to carry as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They work much like an AEG rifle and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines generally store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs approximately around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute assuming you have enough magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery lasts that long. These AEP pistols can accurately fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually grown significantly over the last few years. The early gen AEP guns were a little bit unreliable and sketchy, but the latest models have the issues worked out and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be further upgraded with enhanced mag storage capacities along with accommodating larger batteries.
A big benefit of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capacity to rewire the adapters to use a larger battery with longer life. Depending upon the AEG pistol type, you can gain a substantial leap in functionality using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative to the stock battery. Take extra precautions when adjusting the elements and wires since you have to consider the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. If you have modding concerns, ask an expert airsoft tech at your closest airsoft store or shop.
What Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Buy?
If you have $100 or more to use to buy your airsoft pistol, check out a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric pistol. If you have around $50 to $100 to spend, review a good quality CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB pistol. You can still get a durable airsoft handgun by checking out cheaper pistols and by shopping for used guns if you are on a budget.
