Information on the Styles of Airsoft Pistols
Learn more about airsoft handguns and pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best handgun and practicing with it can be a game changer in blasting your shots. Handguns, by nature, are reduced range airsoft guns. They are normally created after real pistols or look-alikes of authentic handguns. A lot of airsoft sidearms are completely licensed editions of their real world pistol counterparts. These airsoft guns can function (without shooting bullets) in the same ways and appear identical to the real guns they are designed after while shooting airsoft BBs rather than real-world bullets.
There are several types of airsoft handguns including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these forms of handguns has positives and negatives connected with them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft pistols allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most common and durable types of pistols. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These kinds of airsoft weapons are excellent for airsoft games in cold weather due to the fact that the pressurized CO2 gas is less susceptible to performance variations with temperature levels. This provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other types of guns like green gas stop operating or barely fire BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas made up of a single carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cartridge cylinders are not multiple-use and you can normally buy them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely inside, once they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not used up. You must try to use up the whole CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol accuracy and target practice and burn up the rest of the excess gas. There is no gas level gauge on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the pistol stops shooting airsoft BBs.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are kept sealed. They have a supplier’s best used by date normally listed on the package or cylinder, however, they will probably survive for a long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Green Gas Airsoft Handgun Details
Green gas airsoft sidearms resemble CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft pellets. The operational impact on airsoft games and green gas weapon effectiveness is basically the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and precisely hit targets at short to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is sealed in the handgun’s magazine which can often hold between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending upon the handgun style. A bunch of valves, rubberized stoppers, and o-rings keep the gas stored in the mag up to when the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a good plan to refill and top off your green gas reserves in your pistol mag each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding players can additionally bring supplemental bottles of green gas in the field for reloading magazines in-between lulls in the war or in-between gameplay.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or main weapon, additional handgun magazines are strongly recommended for quickly reloading. Having additional mags helps you reengage in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are generally not allowed to be used for indoor gameplay. This is a safety rule due to the close range distance of players during the shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy sending the BB lower compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various sorts of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas generally performs very well on the airsoft field, it does have issues. When they are used during the winter airsoft games in the snow or in colder temperatures (such as below 32 degrees F). Given that the green gas or propane is held in the weapon’s mag using rubber seals and gaskets, cold temperatures can affect the seals and trigger the gas to leak out prior to firing the pistol. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One solution to this problem is to try to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by putting them next to a heater or by your body before airsoft game play. This can help to warm the seals, gaskets, and valves and help to seal in the green gas. If you definitely prefer to use a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be better to buy a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun shoots much better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Info on Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that launch the airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. They are generally only able to shoot one BB. The manual actions of reloading, firing, and cocking spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. When facing airsoft players on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry like auto airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols, this makes them fun to use, however less efficient.
Spring handguns perform most effectively in springer wars where game players can just use related, single shot spring guns or as a transition backup weapon for CQB environments when you can often surprise other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick 2nd followup shot isn’t called for given that the other person is already hit by the first shot and out of the game play or moving back to respawn. When engaging multiple players because the springer only fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring pistols are incredibly useful under the correct game conditions. Spring handguns can typically fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to engage targets decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Details
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to carry as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They function just like an AEG SMG and use compressed air with electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines generally can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs right up to about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends if you have enough magazines to reload with and the battery maintains its charge that long. These pistols can effectively shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has increased significantly in recent years. The initial generation guns were a little bit undependable and sketchy, but the new versions have most of the problems resolved and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be further modded with maximized magazine capacities and by accommodating larger batteries.
A huge advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the connections to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun type, you can gain a sizable output in functionality by employing a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Buy?
Deciding on the ideal airsoft handgun for you depends upon how much you can afford, how often you want to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. If you can use at least one-hundred dollars to invest in your airsoft handgun, look at a green gas blowback or GBB pistol or AEP handgun. These kinds of pistols are normally the top of the line, have the greatest performance, and can be a good investment. If you have about $50 to $100 to devote to your airsoft gun purchase, look at a CO2 handgun or a more affordable GBB handgun. These mid-tier guns will still work well and will be tough sidearms. If you have less than $50, research a lower end CO2 or spring handgun. You can still find a dependable airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
