Airsoft Handgun Style Additional Information
Find out about airsoft guns like pistols and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal sidearm and practicing with it can make all the difference in blasting your shots. Handguns, naturally, are shorter range airsoft guns. They are generally designed after genuine handguns or look-alikes of authentic handguns. A large number of airsoft handguns are completely licensed variations of their actual gun counterparts. These airsoft guns can function (short of shooting bullets) in the same ways and look and feel identical to the real guns they are modeled after while shooting airsoft BBs rather than real world bullets.
There are a number of kinds of airsoft handguns such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these kinds of pistols come with benefits and differences associated with them. Learning about the varieties of airsoft sidearms allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most typical and long-lasting types of sidearms. These handguns use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These kinds of airsoft guns are good for playing in cooler temperatures since the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to variation with temperature. This fact gives CO2 airsoft sidearms very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other types of airsoft guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire pellets.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a shiny steel cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, as a result the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridges under very high pressure of roughly ~ 800psi that converts to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cylinders are not refillable and you can normally purchase them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely within, but when they are punctured (firing them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You must attempt to run through the whole CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. Use the chance 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 sign on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the handgun stops shooting airsoft BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They have a supplier’s best used by date usually noted on the box or cartridge cylinder, however they will likely stay pressurized for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 handguns, but they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is practically the same as CO2 handguns with the guns around 300+ FPS.
The propane is kept in the pistol’s magazine that can often hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the handgun model. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas stored in the mag before the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or primary gun, bringing extra handgun magazines is suggested for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra magazines on-hand allows you to get back in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not approved to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety guideline due to the close quarters distance of players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various types of green gas airsoft handguns. First there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols operate like an actual handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The propane gas causes the slide to cycle every time when a brand-new airsoft BB is chambered. This functioning while shooting is very cool, but the GBB guns usually cost more and potentially have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback weapons usually cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is held in the pistol magazine by rubber seals and gaskets, cold weather can negatively impact these seals and allow the stored gas to leak out prior to shooting the pistol. The lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would normally shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One fix for this issue is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by putting them next to your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the rubber gaskets and help to seal in the green gas. It can also be worth buying a CO2 version of your favorite pistol if you truly want to play airsoft with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun shoots better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Facts
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful coil springs that fire the BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are normally able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual functioning of cocking, firing, and reloading spring handguns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When going up against other airsoft players on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles, auto airsoft AEG rifles and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns, this can make them fun to use, however less efficient.
Spring sidearms and guns work most effectively in springer wars where opponents can only use related, single shot spring pistols or as an alternative backup gun for CQB buildings when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast second follow-up shot will not be required because the other person is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game play or heading back to respawn. Look out when attacking multiple foes considering the spring airsoft gun just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring guns are remarkably effective under the appropriate conditions during airsoft games. Spring handguns can generally shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however precision decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to carry as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They operate similar to an AEG rifle and use forced air with electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun magazines usually can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually risen considerably recently. The first generation guns were a bit questionable and unreliable, however the more recent models have most of the deficiencies worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary weapons. They can be improved with increased mag capacities in addition to accommodating larger batteries.
A huge perk of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the battery wires to use an enhanced capacity battery with higher mAh. Based on the AEG pistol type, you may be able to gain a substantial output in efficiency by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) in place of the standard mini battery. Be careful when customizing the components and the gun’s wires since you have to think about the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. If you have customization concerns, ask an experienced gun tech at your nearest airsoft shop or store.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Play with?
Picking out the right airsoft sidearm for you depends on your budget, how often you plan to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. If you have $100 or more to invest in your airsoft pistol, take a look at a green gas blowback pistol or AEG handgun. These kinds of handguns are normally the top of the line, have the most effective efficiency, and can be a really good sidearm to purchase. If you can afford in-between $50 to $100 to spend, look at a CO2 handgun or less expensive green gas blowback pistol. Mid-tier guns like these will still do the job and will be pretty sturdy sidearms. If you have less than $50, choose a lower end CO2 or springer handgun. You can still buy a long lasting airsoft handgun to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
