Airsoft Pistol Type Info
Learn more about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the right pistol and practicing with it can make all the difference in blasting your shots. Pistols, naturally, are short range airsoft weapons. They are frequently fashioned after real guns or replicas of authentic pistols. A lot of airsoft pistols are completely licensed releases of their actual weapon equivalents. These airsoft guns can appear and operate in the same ways almost identically to the real guns they are designed after while firing airsoft BBs in place of real bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these types of pistols have negatives and positives associated with them. Learning about the styles of airsoft sidearms allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most standard and heavy-duty kinds of handguns. They are all season, all weather guns and operate well in a lot of types of weather conditions and climates. These sidearms use high pressure CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is generally located in the handgun’s magazine inside the handle.
These forms of airsoft handguns are great choices for airsoft games in cold weather conditions due to the fact that the compressed CO2 gas is less susceptible to performance variations caused by temperature levels. This fact offers good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for example where other types of airsoft handguns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a chrome cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas comprised of just one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however soon after they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance 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 kept sealed. They do have a manufacturer’s expiration date typically noted on the box or cartridge, however, they will probably survive for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft sidearms function similarly to CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft BBs. The effect on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is basically the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or automatic firing modes and accurate at very short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is held in the handgun’s magazine and can commonly hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the handgun style. A bunch of valves, silicone stoppers, and o-rings keep the green gas sealed in the pistol mag up until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great idea to refill and top off your propane supply in your magazine each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can also bring surplus bottles of green gas in the field for refilling magazines between breaks in the fight or between game play.
When using a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a main or secondary weapon, bringing extra handgun mags is suggested for rapidly reloading. Having additional mags on-hand allows you to reengage in the action throughout firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not authorized to be used for indoor game play. This is a safety rule because of the close quarters distance of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy moving 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 2 various types of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns function like an actual pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. Each time a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas induces the slide to cycle. The result is very cool, however the handguns frequently cost more and possibly have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns normally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is stored in the magazine by rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, the cold can impact these seals and cause the stored gas to escape before shooting the pistol. This can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the pistol would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One solution to this problem is to try to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them close to your body just before the 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 getting a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun if you really need to play with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun shoots much better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Details
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that propel the BBs down the gun barrel. They are normally able to only shoot one BB. The manual actions of firing, reloading, and cocking spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. When confronting airsoft players on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry like automatic airsoft AEG rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns, this can make them entertaining to use, however less efficient.
Spring sidearms and guns perform best in springer battles where participants can solely use comparable, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters combat backup gun for CQB buildings when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast 2nd follow-up shot will not be required given that the other player is already hit and out of the game play or running back to respawn. When engaging several enemies given that the spring gun just shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring guns are considerably reliable under the best circumstances. Their FPS typically chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These weapons typically fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs since the coiled springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring handguns can usually engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to hit targets decreases rapidly. Using regular 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a range of around 60 to 80 feet with enhanced accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to use as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They work just like an AEG gun and use compressed air with electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG handgun mags typically can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute assuming you have enough spare mags to reload the gun and the battery lasts that long. These AEP handguns can accurately fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually increased substantially over the last few years. The earliest generations were a bit sketchy and unreliable, but the more recent models have the problems resolved and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be modified with maximized mag capacities and also accommodating more powerful batteries.
A huge benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the connections to use an enhanced capacity battery with longer life. Depending on the AEG pistol version, you are able to gain a large output in functionality using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as opposed to the stock mini battery. Be careful when modifying the parts and wires since you have to take into consideration the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. If you have modding concerns, ask an expert airsoft tech at your nearest airsoft shop.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me?
Picking out the most ideal airsoft pistol for you depends on how much you want to spend, how much you would like to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. Consider a GBB green gas pistol or automatic electric AEP handgun if you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol. These kinds of pistols are typically the top of the line, have the best build qualities, and are usually an excellent gun to invest in. If you have about $50 to $100 to spend, have a look at a CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB pistol. Mid-tier guns like these will still get the job done and are pretty tough sidearms. If you have less than $50, look for a lower end CO2 or spring handgun. You can still get a dependable airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games.
