Airsoft Pistol Style Additional Info
Find out about airsoft handguns and pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the right sidearm can be a game changer in blasting your shots. Pistols, by nature, are short range airsoft guns. They are frequently crafted after firearm handguns or look-alikes of genuine pistols. Lots of airsoft sidearms are completely licensed adaptations of their authentic gun equivalents. These airsoft guns can visually appear and function (without shooting bullets) in the same ways identical to the real guns they are designed after while blasting airsoft BBs in place of real-world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these forms of sidearms has positives and negatives related to them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft pistols helps you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most sturdy and typical types of handguns. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are good choices for playing airsoft in cold and snowy temperatures considering that the compressed CO2 gas is less sensitive to variation with low temperature. This offers very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for example where other types of pistols like green gas stop performing or barely shoot BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a shiny metallic cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and two oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but when they are opened (firing them in an airsoft gun breaks the seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They come with a supplier’s use by date typically noted on the box or cylinder, however they may survive for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft sidearms are similar to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot the airsoft BBs. The effect on gameplay and green gas weapon operation is almost the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ feet per second. Shots are efficiently fired in automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at shorter to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is stashed in the pistol’s airsoft magazine that can often hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol design. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the magazine till the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When carrying a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a backup or primary weapon, extra pistol mags are recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional magazines helps you get back in the action during firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not approved to be used for indoor shooting. This is an essential safety rule because of the close quarters proximity of airsoft 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 assists to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns work like a real handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. Each time a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas causes the slide to cycle. The result is very cool, but the GBB handguns often cost more and possibly have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback pistols generally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Because the green gas or propane is kept in the pistol mag by using rubber seals and silicone gaskets, the cold can influence these gaskets and cause the stored gas to leak out prior to shooting the gun. This can cause the airsoft BBs to simply land a few feet (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the green gas pistol would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One option to this problem is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by placing them next to your body just before game play starts. If you absolutely want to play with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 style of your preferred handgun.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that launch the BBs down the gun barrel. They are typically one shot. The manual functions of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. This makes spring guns interesting to use, yet they can be less useful when taking on challengers on the airsoft field with upgraded airsoft guns, auto airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring guns perform best in springer battles where participants can solely use related, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters backup weapon for CQB environments when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast second followup shot isn’t required due to the fact that the other person is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game play or running back to respawn. When engaging several adversaries because the spring gun only fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring guns are extremely efficient under the correct circumstances. Spring guns like pistols can commonly fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to hit targets decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Info
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They operate similar to an AEG gun and use pressurized air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines normally can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough spare mags to reload the gun and the battery maintains its charge that long. These pistols can accurately shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually grown significantly in the last few years. The first generations were a little bit undependable and sketchy, however the new versions have the issues worked out and make reliable airsoft backup guns. They can be modded with increased magazine storage capacities and by accommodating more powerful batteries.
A massive advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the battery connections to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun design, you can gain a big output in efficiency by using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
If you have $100 or more to use to buy your airsoft handgun, evaluate a green gas blowback handgun or automatic electric pistol. If you have around $50 to $100 to invest, look at a CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB pistol. If you have fifty dollars or less, you can still look for a long lasting airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
