About the Kinds of Airsoft Pistols
Find out about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal pistol and practicing with it can be a game changer in blasting your shots. Pistols, naturally, are much shorter range airsoft weapons. They are usually made after genuine guns or copies of genuine handguns. Many airsoft sidearms are fully certified adaptations of their real world gun equivalents. These airsoft guns can look and feel and function (short of shooting bullets) in the same ways identically to the real guns they are designed after while blasting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these varieties of sidearms have negatives and positives connected with them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft sidearms helps you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are among the most resilient and typical styles of pistols. They are all-season, all-weather pistols and operate well in lots of kinds of extreme temperatures, weather and environments. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge is normally kept in the pistol’s mag inside the handle.
These forms of airsoft guns are good for playing airsoft in cold and snowy weather conditions given that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to FPS decreases caused by low temperatures. This fact gives CO2 airsoft pistols great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other kinds of airsoft sidearms like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly shoot airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a chrome metal cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas made up of 1 carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, therefore the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cylinders under extremely high pressure of about ~ 800psi that correlates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however the moment they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft pistol 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 opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if they are stored sealed. They are made with a manufacturer’s best used by date normally noted on the box or cartridge, however, they will probably survive for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistol Information
Green gas airsoft handguns function similarly to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel 6mm airsoft pellets. The operational impact on game play and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are efficiently fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and precisely hit targets at shorter to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is stored in the pistol’s grip within the magazine which can often hold in-between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs based on the pistol model. A bunch of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas sealed in the magazine prior to when the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great idea to top off and refill the green gas supply in your magazine each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can even carry surplus bottles of green gas in the field for reloading mags in-between breaks in the war or in-between missions.
When bringing a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or main weapon, additional pistol mags are suggested for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional mags allows you to re-engage in the action during firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not allowed to be used during indoor engagements. This is an essential safety guideline due to the close range distance of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB at a decreased level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. First, there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns run like an actual handgun with the slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The gas triggers the slide to cycle every time when a new airsoft BB is chambered. This cycling is very cool, however the GBB guns frequently are more expensive and possibly have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback weapons generally cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same when comparing the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Since the green gas or propane gas is held in the magazine by rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, the cold can negatively influence these o-rings and cause the gas to leak out before shooting the handgun. This lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the handgun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One fix for this challenge is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by putting them next to your body just before the game play. This can help to warm the seals and help to seal in the green gas. If you definitely desire to play airsoft with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold, it can also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and these guns shoot far better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful coil springs that launch the airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. They are normally one shot only. The manual action of cocking, firing, and reloading spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. This makes them fun to use, however they are less practical when going up against foes on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons and fully auto airsoft AEG rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring pistols work the best in springer wars where participants can only use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast 2nd followup shot is not really needed because the other person is now hit by the first shot and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. Take care when attacking multiple airsoft players due to the fact that the spring airsoft gun only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring guns are quite useful under the appropriate situations. Spring handguns can generally shoot up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs however target accuracy reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring into the field as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They work similar to an AEG SMG and use forced air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun magazines typically carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually grown considerably in the last few years. The first generation AEP guns were a little bit unreliable and questionable, however the latest models have the issues resolved and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be improved with enhanced mag capacities and also accommodating bigger batteries.
A significant benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capacity to rewire the adapters to use an enhanced battery with longer life. Depending on the AEG pistol version, you can gain a large leap in performance and fire rate using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative to the stock battery. Take extra precautions when adjusting the parts and the gun’s wires because you should think about the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. Ask an experienced airsoft service technician at your nearest airsoft store or shop if you have customization concerns.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Buy?
Picking out the ideal airsoft pistol for you depends on your budget, how often you want to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. If you can afford at least $100 to invest in your airsoft pistol, look into a green gas blowback handgun or AEP handgun. These kinds of guns are usually the top-tier guns, have good build qualities, and are usually a pretty good investment. If you have about $50 to $100 to use for your gun, look into a CO2 handgun or less expensive green gas pistol. These guns will still function well and can be resilient sidearms. If you have less than $50, look for a lower end CO2 or spring handgun. You can still get a long-lasting airsoft handgun to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
