Info About Airsoft Handgun Kinds
Find information about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft pistols are fully accredited versions of their genuine weapon equivalents and look and operate in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are several varieties of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these kinds of pistols has negatives and positives related to them. Learning about the varieties of airsoft handguns helps you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearm Details
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most tough and standard types of pistols. These pistols use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to send airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These styles of airsoft guns are great choices for playing airsoft in cold weather conditions since the pressurized CO2 gas is less susceptible to FPS decreases with temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft pistols exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other varieties of airsoft guns like green gas cease to function or barely fire BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a chrome cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cartridge cylinders cannot be refilled and you can usually purchase them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely within, but the moment they are opened (firing them in an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) the cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You must try to consume the whole CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas if the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the handgun stops shooting.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have the manufacturer’s use by date normally printed on the package or cylinder, however they will likely maintain pressure for a very long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is practically the very same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is stored in the handgun’s airsoft mag which can frequently hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the handgun design. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the magazine up until the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When bringing a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a secondary or primary gun, additional magazines are encouraged for quickly reloading. Having additional mags on-hand helps you re engage in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are generally not allowed to be used for indoor shooting. This is an essential safety rule because of the close range proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel helps 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 two different forms of green gas airsoft handguns. To start with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns work like a legitimate handgun with the slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The propane gas triggers the slide to cycle each time when a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. The result is really cool, but the weapons usually are more expensive and possibly have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns have a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback pistols typically cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Because the green gas or propane is stored in the handgun magazine using rubber seals and silicone gaskets, the cold can affect these o-rings and cause the stored gas to leak out prior to shooting. The lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the handgun would typically shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One strategy to this issue is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them next to your body or near a heat source before game play starts. If you truly desire to play with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong coil springs that shoot the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual functions of reloading, firing, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB guns.
Spring sidearms perform the best in springer wars where opponents can just use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a transitional weapon for CQB buildings when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast second followup shot is not really needed considering that the other player is already hit by the first shot and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. Take care when engaging several players given that the weapon just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring handguns are remarkably efficient under the best scenarios. Their FPS normally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These handguns usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the coiled springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft weapons. Spring pistols can generally be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to hit targets diminishes rapidly. Using normal 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a decreased shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet or less with increased target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to carry as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They function similar to an AEG gun and use pressurized air with electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun mags typically can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs approximately about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends if you have enough spare mags to reload the gun and the battery lasts that long. These AEP handguns can precisely fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has grown significantly recently. The early generations were a bit questionable and unreliable, however the more recent designs have most of the problems worked out and make effective airsoft secondary guns. They can be upgraded with increased magazine storage capacities along with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the connections to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun design, you can get a big increase in functionality by using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
Picking the most ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends upon your gun budget, how much you want to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. If you can use over $100 to invest in your airsoft handgun, take a look at a green gas handgun or AEG pistol. These are normally the top of the line, have the greatest build qualities, and are usually an excellent gun to invest in. If you can afford around more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to spend on upgrading your airsoft arsenal, look at a CO2 pistol or a more affordable GBB pistol. These mid-tier guns will still finish the job and can be pretty sturdy sidearms. Look for a cheap CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than $50. You can still find a tough airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
