Airsoft Handgun Variety Information
Find out about airsoft handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the right sidearm and practicing with it can make an impact in hitting your shots. Pistols, naturally, are shorter range airsoft guns. They are most often developed after real sidearms or copies of legitimate pistols. A lot of airsoft sidearms are completely certified models of their genuine handgun equivalents. These airsoft guns can function (short of shooting bullets) in the same ways and appear identically to the real guns they are modeled around while shooting airsoft BBs as opposed to authentic bullets.
There are a number of varieties of airsoft handguns such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these forms of handguns has negatives and positives related to them. Learning about the types of airsoft handguns helps you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most common and resilient varieties of handguns. They are all-season, all-weather weapons and operate well in a lot of types of weather conditions and climates. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is normally held in the pistol’s magazine.
These types of airsoft guns are very good for playing in cooler weather conditions given that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to performance decreases with low temperature. This provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for instance where other types of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop functioning or hardly shoot BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a metal cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas comprised of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, therefore the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under very high pressure of close to ~ 800psi that correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 cartridge cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can usually order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely within, once they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft handgun breaks the seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not used up. You need to attempt to use up the whole CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas if the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level sign on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the weapon stops shooting BBs.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if they are kept sealed. They have the supplier’s expiry date typically marked on the box or cartridge cylinder, however they will probably maintain pressure for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. The impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is practically the very same as CO2 pistols with the weapons at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is housed in the handgun’s mag and can typically hold around 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending upon the handgun design. A series of valves, rubber stoppers, and seals keep the propane pressurized in the pistol mag till the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good habit to top off and fill up the propane reserves in your mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can even take additional bottles of green gas or propane in the field for reloading in-between lulls in the fight or between games.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a secondary or primary gun, bringing extra mags is encouraged for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional mags on-hand allows you to get back in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not permitted to be used for indoor game play. This is a safety rule because of the close quarters proximity of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a decreased level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various types of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols operate like an authentic handgun with the gun’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. Every time a fresh airsoft BB is chambered, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. This functioning while shooting is extremely cool, however the weapons typically cost more and possibly have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols commonly cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same between the two types of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane is kept in the pistol magazine by using rubber o-rings, seals, and silicone gaskets, cold temps can influence these seals and cause the stored gas to escape prior to shooting the gun. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to merely land a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the gun would typically shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One solution to this challenge is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by putting them inside your jacket next to your body just before the game play. This can help to warm up the seals and valves and help to seal in the green gas. If you honestly want to play airsoft with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold, it can also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and these guns shoot far better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that fire the BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are usually one shot only. The manual actions of cocking, reloading, and firing spring airsoft guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When going up against players on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons, fully auto airsoft AEG rifles, SMGs, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns, this makes spring airsoft pistols fun to use, however less efficient.
Spring guns perform most effectively in springer battles where players can exclusively use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a transition weapon for CQB buildings when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast second followup shot will not be really needed because the other player is already struck and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. Look out when fighting multiple players because the spring gun only fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring handguns are considerably useful under the right circumstances and airsoft games. Their FPS generally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These pistols typically fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the pitched springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft weapons. Spring pistols can typically be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to engage targets accurately diminishes rapidly. Choosing standard 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet with improved precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Facts
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring into the field as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They work similar to an AEG rifle and use forced air forced through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun mags normally can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has risen considerably over the last few years. The earliest generation AEP guns were a bit questionable and unreliable, however the new versions have the deficiencies worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further upgraded with increased magazine storage capacities as well as accommodating bigger batteries.
A significant benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the adapters to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can gain a sizable jump in efficiency by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Buy?
Deciding on the best airsoft sidearm for you depends upon how much you can afford, how often you want to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. Look at a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric AEP handgun if you have over $100 to invest on your airsoft handgun. These are usually the top of the line, have the best efficiency, and are usually a really good pistol to purchase. If you can afford about fifty to one-hundred dollars to use for your gun, look at a CO2 handgun or a cheaper green gas pistol. These guns will still finish the job and can be pretty durable sidearms. If you have less than $50, look for a lower end CO2 or springer handgun. You can still get a dependable airsoft pistol to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
