Airsoft Pistol Design Info
Find information about airsoft sidearms and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal sidearm and practicing with it can make an impact in improving your shots. Pistols, by nature, are short range airsoft weapons. They are commonly created after genuine sidearms or replications of actual pistols. Lots of airsoft pistols are fully certified reproductions of their real-world gun equivalents. These airsoft guns can function (short of shooting bullets) in the same ways and visually appear identical to the real guns they are modeled around while firing airsoft BBs instead of authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these varieties of handguns have benefits and differences associated with them. Learning more about the kinds of airsoft pistols lets you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft handguns are among the most common and sturdy types of handguns. They are all-season, all-weather handguns and work well in many types of weather conditions and climates. These sidearms use pressurized CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is generally kept in the handgun’s mag inside the handle.
These kinds of airsoft guns are good for airsoft games in cold and snowy weather since the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to performance decreases caused by temperature. This fact gives CO2 airsoft handguns very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other sorts of sidearms like green gas stop functioning or barely fire pellets.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however once they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) they will begin 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 additional gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if they are stored sealed. They come with the maker’s best used by date typically marked on the package or cartridge cylinder, but they will likely last for a very long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is almost the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the handgun’s grip within the magazine and can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending upon the handgun design. A set of valves, rubber stoppers, and seals keep the green gas stored in the pistol magazine up to the point the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a great habit to top off and refill your green gas reserves in your pistol mag each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding players can even take additional bottles of green gas or propane in the field for refilling mags in-between breaks in the battle or between missions.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a main or secondary weapon, bringing additional pistol mags is highly recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional magazines helps you re-engage in the action throughout firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are great for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not authorized to be used for indoor shooting. This is an essential safety standard because of the close quarters proximity of gamers during shooting engagements. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy shooting 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 2 different varieties of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Since the green gas or propane gas is held in the magazine by rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, cold temperatures can influence these gaskets and cause the gas to leak out before shooting. This lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to simply land a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the green gas handgun would normally shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One fix to this issue is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by holding them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket prior to the airsoft game play starts. If you truly need to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it may also be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred pistol.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Info
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong coil springs that launch the BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are generally able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual functioning of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring pistols makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes spring guns entertaining to use, yet they can be less practical when taking on attackers on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons and fully auto airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring guns work best in springer wars where participants can solely use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a transition weapon for CQB environments when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid 2nd follow-up shot isn’t called for due to the fact that the other opponent is already hit and out of the game play or headed back to respawn. When engaging multiple players considering that the weapon only fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring guns are considerably useful under the right scenarios and airsoft games. Their FPS generally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons generally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs because the pitched springs are less effective than other types of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring pistols can generally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but precision diminishes quickly. Choosing regular 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a range of around 60 to 80 feet or less with increased target accuracy.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to use as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They function similar to an AEG rifle and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines typically hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has grown substantially in recent years. The early gens were a bit undependable and sketchy, but the new models have most of the deficiencies resolved and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be modified with maximized mag storage capacities and by accommodating more powerful batteries.
A large benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the wires to use a larger battery with longer life. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you are able to get a large boost in efficiency by utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock AEP battery. Be careful with tweaking the parts and the gun’s wires since you have to take into account the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. If you have modding questions, ask a qualified weapon service tech at your nearest airsoft store or shop.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me?
Picking the ideal airsoft pistol for you depends on how much you can afford to spend, how much you want to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. If you have at least one-hundred dollars to invest in your airsoft pistol, check out a green gas handgun or AEG pistol. These kinds of guns are usually the best of the best, have the very best performance, and are usually a really good sidearm to purchase. Consider a CO2 handgun or less costly GBB handgun if you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to put into an airsoft gun purchase. Middle of the road guns like these will still work well and will be tough sidearms. Look for a cheap CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than $50. You can still buy a long-lasting airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
