Airsoft Pistol Variety Information
Find information about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. A large number of airsoft pistols are completely accredited versions of their actual pistol equivalents and operate and look in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are several varieties of airsoft pistols such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these types of handguns have negatives and positives related to them. Learning more about the types of airsoft pistols allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most typical and tough types of pistols. They are all-season weapons and operate well in a lot of kinds of weather and climates. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is generally kept in the pistol’s mag inside the handle.
These styles of airsoft handguns are good for playing in cooler weather considering that the compressed CO2 gas is less susceptible to performance variations with low temperature. This fact provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other styles of sidearms like green gas stop functioning or hardly fire pellets.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny steel cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, as a result of the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridges under extremely high pressure of near ~ 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 handgun breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They come with a manufacturer’s expiration date typically noted on the box or cartridge, however they will likely stay pressurized for a very long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistol Facts
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane for propellant to propel 6mm airsoft pellets. The result on the battlefield and green gas sidearm efficiency is just about the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or automatic shooting modes and accurate at very short to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is kept in the pistol’s magazine and can commonly hold around 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending upon the pistol style. A set of valves, rubberized stoppers, and o-rings keep the gas sealed in the pistol magazine till the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great idea to refill and top off the green gas supply in your pistol mag each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding players can also take supplemental bottles of green gas in the field for refilling mags in-between breaks in the war or in-between activities.
When using a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or main weapon, additional magazines are recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional magazines on-hand allows you to reengage in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are generally not authorized to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety regulation because of the close quarters proximity of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different forms of green gas airsoft pistols. To begin with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns operate like an actual handgun with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. The propane gas triggers the slide to cycle each time a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This functioning while shooting is very cool, however the GBB handguns often are more expensive and possibly have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns have a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols typically cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas normally works effectively, it does have limitations. This includes when they are used throughout the winter airsoft games in the snow or in colder temperatures (like lower 32 degrees F). Considering that the green gas or propane is stored in the mag by rubber seals and gaskets, low temperatures can negatively impact these seals and allow the gas to escape before firing the handgun. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would ordinarily shoot BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather).
One option to this issue is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them next to your body prior to game play starts. If you really desire to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs that send the BBs out of the gun’s barrel. The manual actions of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring sidearms work most effectively in springer battles where game players can exclusively use related, single shot spring handguns or as a transition weapon for CQB buildings when you can usually surprise other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast 2nd followup shot isn’t called for since the other person is already struck and out of the game play or going back to respawn. Take care when engaging a number of foes given that the springer only shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring pistols are remarkably useful under the appropriate situations. Their FPS commonly chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons usually fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs since the coiled springs are less effective than other styles of airsoft weapons. Spring guns can generally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets accurately decreases rapidly. Shooting basic 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a reduced range of about 60 to 80 feet with heightened accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Information
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They function similar to an AEG gun and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun mags typically can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 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 risen considerably in the last few years. The initial gen guns were a bit undependable and sketchy, but the newer designs have the bugs worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be modified with increased magazine storage capacities together with accommodating bigger batteries.
A significant benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the connections to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG pistol design, you can get a sizable output in efficiency by adopting a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock battery.
What Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me?
If you have $100 or more to use to buy your airsoft handgun, take a look at a GBB handgun or automatic electric handgun. If you have in-between $50 to $100 to spend, check out a CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB handgun. If you have less than fifty dollars, you can still get a hold of a long lasting airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games by checking out lower end pistols and by shopping the used gun market.
