Airsoft Handgun Style Details
Learn about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft handguns are completely approved and licensed editions of their authentic pistol counterparts and run and appear in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these types of pistols have negatives and positives associated with them. Finding out about the varieties of airsoft pistols helps you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most resilient and typical types of pistols. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These kinds of airsoft guns are great for playing airsoft in colder temperatures because the high pressure CO2 gas is less sensitive to FPS decreases with low temperatures. This offers great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other kinds of airsoft guns like green gas cease to work or barely fire BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas composed of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 cylinders cannot be refilled and you can usually purchase them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas securely within, once they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You should try to run through the whole CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the gun stops firing airsoft BBs.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if they are kept sealed. They do have the manufacturer’s best used by date normally printed on the box or cylinder, however they will likely stay pressurized for a prolonged period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the exact same as CO2 pistols with the weapons at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the handgun’s mag which can commonly hold between 15 to 20+ BBs depending upon the pistol model. A set of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the propane gas sealed in the magazine until the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a great habit to top off and refill the green gas reserves in the magazine each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding players can additionally take extra bottles of propane in the field for refilling magazines in-between breaks in the war or between activities.
When carrying a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or main weapon, bringing extra magazines is recommended for quickly reloading. Having additional magazines helps you re engage in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not approved to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety rule due to the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a decreased level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas usually works effectively on the airsoft field, it does have drawbacks. This includes when green gas guns are played with during the winter in the snow or in very cold temperatures (like lower 32 degrees F). Since the green gas or propane gas is held in the weapon’s mag by rubber seals and gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively affect the seals and trigger the gas to escape prior to shooting. The depressurized gas can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot several feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer temps).
One solution to this issue is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them next to your body before the airsoft game play. If you really desire to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that fire the airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. They are usually one shot. The manual action of firing, cocking, and reloading spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. This makes spring airsoft pistols interesting to use, yet they can be less successful when running into adversaries on the airsoft field with upgraded airsoft guns, automatic airsoft AEG SMGs and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring sidearms and guns work the best in springer wars where opponents can solely use similar, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters combat backup gun for CQB settings when you can often sneak up to other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a rapid second follow-up shot isn’t called for given that the other opponent is already hit by the first shot and out of the game or running back to respawn. Beware when fighting a number of foes because the spring airsoft gun just shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring guns are extremely efficient under the appropriate game conditions. Their FPS normally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons generally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the pitched springs are less effective than other types of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring guns can normally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to hit targets reduces quickly. Shooting conventional 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a reduced shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet with enhanced precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to bring as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They work just like an AEG gun and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol mags generally carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs right up to around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery holds out that long. These AEP handguns can effectively fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually risen substantially recently. The initial gens were a little bit unreliable and questionable, however the more recent versions have the deficiencies worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be further upgraded with maximized magazine storage capacities in addition to accommodating larger batteries.
A significant advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the adapters to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG handgun model, you can gain a sizable output in efficiency by adopting a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Buy?
Finding the most ideal airsoft handgun for you depends upon how much you can afford, how much you desire to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. If you can afford over $100 to invest in your airsoft pistol, check out a green gas blowback or GBB pistol or AEG handgun. These kinds of pistols are typically the top-tier guns, have the best performance, and can be a pretty good airsoft gun to invest in. Check out a CO2 pistol or more affordable green gas GBB pistol if you have around more than $50 but less than $100 to spend. These guns will still function well and will be tough sidearms. Look for a cheap CO2 or spring handgun if you have $50 or less. You can still buy a heavy-duty airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
