Airsoft Pistol Variety Additional Information
Find out about airsoft guns like pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the right sidearm can make all the difference in improving your shots. Handguns, naturally, are shorter range airsoft weapons. They are often created after real sidearms or look-alikes of legitimate pistols. Many airsoft handguns are fully certified editions of their real world pistol equivalents. These airsoft guns can function in the same ways and look and feel similarly to the real guns they are modeled around while blasting airsoft BBs in place of real world bullets.
There are several kinds of airsoft pistols such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these forms of pistols come with negatives and positives related to them. Learning about the styles of airsoft sidearms allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most dependable and common types of pistols. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These forms of airsoft weapons are great choices for playing in colder weather given that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to variation caused by temperature. This offers good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other sorts of sidearms like green gas cease to function or barely shoot BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metal cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of a single carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, therefore the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under really high pressure of roughly ~ 800psi that translates to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cartridge cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can usually buy them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas securely within, once they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You should try to dissipate the entire CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some pistol target practice and expend the remainder of the surplus gas. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the gun stops shooting.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They do have the supplier’s expiry date typically printed on the package or cartridge cylinder, but they can stay pressurized for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearm Info
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is practically the exact same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane is stashed in the handgun’s airsoft mag which can often hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the handgun type. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the magazine till the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or primary weapon, additional handgun magazines are advised for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional magazines on-hand allows you to re engage in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not allowed to be used for indoor shooting. This is an essential safety rule due to the close range proximity of players during the shooting engagements. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various forms of green gas airsoft pistols. To begin with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols function like an authentic pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The propane gas causes the slide to cycle each time a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. The result is very cool, but the GBB handguns usually cost more and potentially have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback weapons normally cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same when comparing the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas usually functions effectively, it does have constraints. For example, when green gas guns are played with in the winter season in the snow or in cold weather (like lower 32 deg F). Given that the green gas or propane gas is stored in the mag using silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, low temperatures can affect the seals and trigger the stored gas to escape before shooting. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would usually shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this problem is to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by holding them close to your body before game play. This can help to warm the rubber gaskets and help to seal in the green gas. It can also be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite pistol if you really want to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun will shoot much better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Details
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that propel the BBs down the pistol barrel. They are typically single-shot. The manual functions of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. When going up against other players on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons, fully auto airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns, this makes them fun to use, however less effective.
Spring guns perform the best in springer battles where players can only use related, single shot spring handguns or as a transitional backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a quick second follow-up shot isn’t called for due to the fact that the other person is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game or going back to respawn. Beware when attacking a number of players due to the fact that the weapon only shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring handguns are very effective under the ideal scenarios. Spring handguns can often shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to carry as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They operate much like an AEG SMG and use pressured air with electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines typically store about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs approximately around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough spare mags to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery maintains its charge that long. These AEP pistols can effectively shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually risen significantly over the last few years. The early gen AEP guns were a bit unreliable and questionable, however the newer models have the deficiencies resolved and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be modified with maximized magazine storage capacities and by accommodating larger batteries.
A big advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can get a substantial output in functionality by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
If you have over $100 to use to buy your airsoft handgun, check out a GBB pistol or AEG handgun. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to upgrade your gun, evaluate a good quality CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB handgun. If you have less than $50, you can still get a durable airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with other players on the used gun market.
