Info About Airsoft Handgun Styles
Find out about airsoft handguns and pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal handgun and practicing with it can make all the difference in improving your shots. Pistols, by nature, are much shorter range airsoft weapons. They are most often produced after authentic handguns or copies of legitimate pistols. A lot of airsoft handguns are fully certified versions of their actual pistol equivalents. These airsoft guns can look and feel and handle in the same ways similarly to the real guns they are modeled around while blasting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a number of varieties of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these styles of handguns come with benefits and differences related to them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft pistols allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearm Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are among the most resilient and typical types of handguns. They are all-season, all-weather weapons and operate well in a lot of kinds of weather, varying temperatures, and climates. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is generally stored in the gun’s mag inside the handle.
These forms of airsoft guns are good choices for playing airsoft in cooler weather conditions given that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to FPS decreases with low temperatures. This fact provides good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other types of guns like green gas stop performing or barely fire airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny steel cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas made up of just one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, thus the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under very high pressure of around ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however as soon as they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) they will begin 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 handgun target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are kept sealed. They do have the supplier’s expiration date typically noted on the package or cartridge, but they will probably stay pressurized for a prolonged period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols resemble CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel 6mm airsoft pellets. The effect on game play and green gas handgun functionality is practically the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet per second. Shots are quickly fired in automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can accurately hit targets at short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is stashed in the handgun’s magazine which can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol style. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas pressurized in the magazine till the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When playing with a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or secondary weapon, additional magazines are highly recommended for quickly reloading. Having extra magazines on-hand helps you re-engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not approved to be used during indoor game play. This is a safety standard due to the close quarters proximity of players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a decreased level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. First there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns function like a real pistol with the slide “blowing back” with every shot. When a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas causes the slide to cycle. This cycling is really cool, but the weapons usually are more expensive and potentially have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols generally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same between the two varieties of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is housed in the handgun mag by rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, cold weather can affect these seals and allow the stored gas to escape prior to shooting. This can make the airsoft BBs to simply land a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One solution to this issue is to try to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by placing them next to a heater or by your body before game play. This can help to warm the seals and valves and better seal in the green gas. If you definitely want to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold, it may also be better to check out a CO2 version of your favorite handgun. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform much better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Information
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that fire the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual actions of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols.
Spring pistols perform best in springer battles where opponents can just use related, single shot spring guns or as a transition backup gun for CQB environments when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast 2nd follow-up shot is not required given that the other person is already hit by the first shot and out of the game play or moving back to respawn. Take care when fighting many different opponents since the spring weapon just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring handguns are incredibly reliable under the best conditions during games. Their FPS often chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These handguns generally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the coiled springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft guns. Spring pistols can normally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to engage targets is reduced quickly. Shooting regular 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a decreased shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet with enhanced accuracy.
About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring into the field as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They operate just like an AEG rifle and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines generally carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has increased considerably in recent years. The initial gen AEP guns were a little bit questionable and undependable, however the more recent versions have the deficiencies worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be upgraded with maximized mag storage capacities in addition to accommodating larger batteries.
A big benefit of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connections to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can get a substantial jump in functionality by taking advantage of a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, evaluate a green gas blowback handgun or automatic electric handgun. If you have around $50 to $100 to spend, review a good quality CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB pistol. If you have less than fifty dollars, you can still find a durable airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
